This was a huge pain in the neck. The rise of Moo/se has helped somewhat. Back in the day there was that horrible trend of using "inside out" objects that would let you reliably subclass something without knowing it's u

It is pretty similar to Hungarian notation, but it also denotes context. But is it half-assed? I'm not sure. It expresses the type of the variable over a very narrow set of types. If anything you could say that the type system is h

How were you parsing XML? I've never found it to be a difficult task. XML::LibXML is a nice wrapper around libXML. XML::Twig is great if you need to process huge files. XML::Rabbit will seamlessly map your XML into objects. There are

Okay, I've been working remote for 4 years now. 1. This is your strongest point. I've missed the whiteboard a bit. But you just need to find other ways to sketch out your ideas. Even a google doc, which is pretty primitive as t

Consider adding zsh and Perl to your toolbelt. Many scripting languages are just as powerful as Perl, but I don't know of anything that has equivalent capability for quick work on the CLI. Check out how the `-pi -E` switches work, f

I got hit by this. If you did, you really want to close the bank accounts that were exposed and open new accounts. My credit union was very easy to work with on this, but it has still been a pain in the butt. I think we need disposable, si

This guide was instrumental in letting me understand sockets and network programming. I've probably recommended it to at least a hundred other people over the years. You have made a huge positive impact. Thank you.

But to compose something large you begin to need hundreds of these small tools interacting. Do you build slightly larger tools that integrate the small tools? Even these larger tools my need to be composed into another level of abstraction

This fits nicely with some ideas I've been working on about "Tribal Knowledge". It's going to take some thought to integrate fully. I am primarily looking at the work of Ong on orality and the distinctions he draws bet

AGPL might make sense with dual licensing so that any potential commercial competitors who use your library have to give you a vig, but anyone willing to use a compatible free license can use your code.

Why are people being so negative about this? If the terms whitelist/blacklist are hurtful to some people because of all the racial baggage we've applied to the words white and black, why not switch to allow/deny instead? Usin

It also scales really badly. If a paper becomes prominent and many people want to read it, is it reasonable for the authors to be inundated with hundreds of requests for a copy? What is the point of journals if we rely on word of mouth inte

Where Have All the Flowers Gone is a famous folk song, written by Pete Seeger. The song asks "Where have all the X gone?" for a chain of values of X, each being consumed by some thing which then becomes the subsequent X. The firs

This feels like Gopher, orgmode, and a wiki had a baby. EDIT: I think there's an Uncle Webring in there too, somewhere.

I don't want to start a flamewar or anything. I think you are misunderstanding the issues around race and gender. And it's not really your fault--messaging on this issue is not very clear and there has been a massively toxic ten
