That's a very good question, and one that I haven't seen answered in a satisfactory way. People rarely think about this particular issue, much less try to solve it. It's one of the reasons I consider SSH unsuitable for unatte

Two months are around 40 business days, which gives over 200 people per day, or one person every two minutes. The only way this would be possible is when he did mostly collective sessions, which heavily undermines the impressivness of the f

Which part is ridiculous? The fact that Dpkg, RPM, their peers, and infrastructure on top of all that (APT, up2date, Yum, BSD ports, Gentoo Portage, and so on) existed for a long time before Homebrew, the fact that people were constantly co

Oh yes, let's totally forget that REST only allows to change how data is accessed, how data is accessed is tightly coupled with data model, and that it's data model changes that are most difficult and troublesome. The post is very

Any career switch that involves dozens of months of training is very impressive. I've seen several career switches. One of them was an architect that took part-time CS studies to become a programmer. Another was a HR guy that was an el

Dude, you're leaving O(n^2) landmines in your code and you're now justifying them by linecount and readability (actually more like familiarity with using sets and mappings). You have just proved my intuition about your abilities.

Ever heard of these things called "hashes" a.k.a. "dictionaries"? They are magical boxes for elements that are indexed by name. You build such a magical box of seen elements while going through the checking loop and you

If you want to make REST a web API protocol from its current state of loosely gathered recommendations, why not stick to something that already exists and performs well? XML-RPC or JSON-RPC are quite good picks. Especially that you'd

It's amazing how much documentation have you written without even a speck of description of how the module's API is organized and how to use it. I know Log::Log4perl, but I don't see how to replace it with your Log::ger.
