What might put Perl back on top (or at least no longer at the bottom) would be a really awesome modern web application framework.

Do people really use cellular on laptops? Also, cellular is still painfully expensive in the US, and even unlimited plans get throttled.

Rule of thumb: stock options are always worthless unless they’re in a public company. If you’re relying on them for financial goals, you’re doing it wrong.

Right-click and "open in new container tab" gives you a choice of containers to open the link in, fwiw.

Yeah, that’s just the Post doing it’s usual scaremongering. Yes, what it says about the character of the city is true. No, it has nothing to do with the startup scene taking root here. The difference between NY and SF is that — while, yes,

Depending on the issue, it may not be something that it’s appropriate to ask forgiveness for. For instance, “I made a porn video with my high school boyfriend and it leaked to the internet” is a mistake, not an injury done to the now-husban

Plenty of memory and storage without charging through the nose for them. 8GB / 128GB is laughable. Alternatively, user-upgradable. Smaller trackpad for more ergonomic typing. The 2015 models were better proportioned.

Yes, absolutely, 100% I'd prefer that. I live in a pedestrian city, without a car (which is inconvenient maybe once a year, tops), and the behavior of people in cars is one of my biggest gripes.

I'm not sure that's true any more at the lower end of the socioeconomic scale. People I know are having a very difficult time covering just rent, electricity, food, and transportation for a family of 4 on a dual full-time income.
