Older versions of Perl allowed you to set a lexically-scoped array base integer. It defaulted to zero and the docs mentioned 1-based arrays, but IIRC it could be any integer. This was deprecated several years ago in 5.12 as a harmful practi

Does it follow that because you lost focus that someone else will?

Do hardware integrators usually build their own BMC, their own power supply, their own backplane, their own firmware, their own motherboards, their own switches, their own SDN, their own hypervisor, their own OS, their own rack design, thei

It would be a good onramp into their ecosystem. Compare this to the deep educational discounts and the school-targeted platforms from Microsoft, Google, Apple, and such.

A few years ago The Register described it as a rack-sized blade chassis with hardware, firmware, and software designed in-house together. It’s a 7-foot tall rack with compute sleds, storage sleds, and network sleds. It has its own BMC desig

Ask a local real estate agent or real estate broker how much base pay they make. Or, heck, a car salesperson or an ad salesperson at your local TV or radio station. It’s all commission-based. In some of these fields in the US the norm is 10

Even if your intent is to maximize income in customer support, you often don’t have the market option to do that. I have seen (and even worked at) places where chat support, phone support, and support administrators have a quota of chats, c

In fact I’ve seen both tech and manufacturing efficiency consultants whose quotes include $x up front plus monitoring and reporting that shows the efficiency gains. Then rather than taking a closing fixed payment, they get a percentage of t

Freelancers and consultants do absolutely have the option to get paid by the feature. It’s exceedingly rare for internal employees or contract employees though. That means there’s no market competition based on it yet. Some places do have b

I think in general, at many companies a candidate asking is a red flag. Also for many candidates a company not wanting to discuss it until the offer is a red flag. It seems that specifically your open disclosure very up front bypasses at le

A few devices back in the day could be powered over DB-25 connections besides the communications, even. Some in factories might still be.

It hands it off to a dedicated media playback DSP. Right now, only Qualcomm is supported but there’s hope that now that the mainline kernel supports it other hardware providers will offer a way the kernel can do that for them, too.

It goes even further than single tools like those. Very little about Go is entirely novel. It’s a newer descendant of C with some additions and excisions but mostly similar syntax. The language is newer, but the way you use it isn’t that ne

I haven’t touched Cisco gear in years, but that at least was true for a long time.

Some other pedant might come along if you keep just calling it a serial port. They might mention that it’s specifically RS-232, and that DB-25 is also used for that. They might also mention that “serial port” could include ports for RS-422

Confusingly enough, I’ve actually seen real, properly named DB-9 connectors. They were a cheaper version of a DB-25 to DE-9 converter. Instead of combining the extra pins properly, they just had a DE-9 on one end connected to only 9 pins on

Check out Modern Perl. It won’t limit you to one best way for everything. It will give you one best way to do many things, and a smaller set of good ways to do others. https://isbn.nu/9781680500882 Keep in mind though that

It would probably especially include those before most others. The best thing about Python IMO is the FFI and the ecosystem built around it.

The “k” in awk, of course. I’ve never met Kernighan or Weinberger personally. I did have a great conversation once with Al Aho and Larry Wall, largely about the history and mutual influence of programming languages upon one another.

I mentioned Haxe by name, and Eta is essentially Haskell on JVM. There is an OCaml-Java. NetRexx targets the JVM. For Prolog there are JIProlog and TuProlog at least. Red basically is REBOL. Yes, Red targets IA-32, ARM, JVM, AVM2, x64, and

Yes, I really can, and with the same number or fewer OS-specific checks than the equivalent C program.

I can. Some of it by some developers I can read far more easily than others. Can you read arbitrary code written by developers from around the world in PL/1, or Ada, Forth, APL, or even C++? Big languages have lots of syntax choices, y
