For what it's worth, there's now postfix dereferencing which avoids the whole having to go back and wrap @{ ... } around things.

Even that Perl isn't as tidy as it could be. I'd be inclined to have `for my $n (1..100)`, and use `say` instead of print. I might even skip the `== 0` but just saying `(! $n % 15)`, but I'm on the fence about that. I also wo

I disagree. If you're interested in the product and want to give it a try because you know you get a free trial, that's exactly what you're going to do. It doesn't seem bad at all to me.

As someone who has/does dabble in genetic algorithms and neural networks, it's always wise to keep in the back of ones mind that these systems are inspired by biology, and not generally an attempt to replicate it[0]. It's a

That some things are a more complicated doesn't lead to "doesn't solve anything." It solves many things. If they're not things you need solved then fine, but you can't deny that for many workflows it is actuall

Yeah, it's similar to (what I'll call because I don't know a real name) the security guard paradox. If a security guard is doing their job well, then they shouldn't really be noticed and so seem unimportant. They'll

I imagine there is some blurring between what's an accent and what's a dialect, especially with your Scotland example. And to break it down further, as a native English speaker I can understand people in Edinburgh just fine, but G
