   Unlike Python 3's relation to Python 2, Perl 6 is genuinely a new language. It would make little sense for the community to discontinue Perl 5 and push for Perl 6. In retrospect it probably would have been better for the community if t

   Perl is a weird language language for you to cite when we're talking about languages that do major transitions well. Perl 6 was created because Perl 5 was an evolutionary dead end, took 15 years, has no adoption, and Perl 5 usage shrun

   I use Karabiner to remap all the keys/buttons on my Razer Naga (so I can avoid using Razer's awful software). I've looked into Hammerspoon but it's not clear if/how I can remap keys only from a specific device.

    I still haven't updated to Sierra because I depend on Karabiner. Just tried the newest version of Karabiner-Elements and it still doesn't do everything I need.

    You're not alone. There are certain words that will evoke an emotional reaction in people, and projects would be wise to avoid them. Even if an author thinks a name like AIDS.app, murder.js, syphilis.io, represents the nature of the
