TL,DR; According to the author, VPC offers better security because your nodes live inside a non-publicly facing VPN. This also simplifies pre-and-post-deployment processes. My take from the blog post: VPC is a transition not worth doing,

Absolutely! Running the code under Strawberry (5.12.3) produces no warnings and "works" as one would expect. Can it be any easier to shoot yourself in the foot? Regardless, Perl has a special place in my heart.

Perl is really powerful, and with power comes responsibility. Reference handling is an area that needs great care, as you can easily make subtle mistakes. Coding standards are important in a code base, often there are many ways to accomplis

This is great post! I would like to iterate on #5 though: HN as a community is an anomaly in that mostly everyone is likely to be much more tech-savvy than your target audience. The feedback you receive from highly intelligent, tech-savvy p

I've been using Mojolicious even before it hit 1.0 and it has been an excellent experience. If there is one area I must applaud sri (and the community) for, is dropping Perl 5.8; Moving forward means moving forward (even though I understand

I never said I wanted to prevent the black market. I merely stated a scheme under which I would be comfortable acquiring such substances, and the trade-offs likely to be involved (high prices). As for the piece of paper, it was just a figur

I won't go into details about why each solution you present is not optimal, because I have a better proposal. Make LSD and other drugs of similar effect legal. Have the government regulate the distribution. Put an exorbitant price tag on th

Interesting things can happen with M::UA in a single line: use Mojo::UserAgent; print Mojo::UserAgent->new->get('http://freegeoip.net/json/8.8.8.8')->res->json->{country_name}; Very powerful.

Much obliged for your reply. I'm not American, so this complicates things at times.

Yes, I was in fact unfamiliar, thank you for the pointer! Even so, it still strikes me as odd that one would use something that can be misinterpreted by a naive reader like me in their promotional material. Better err on the side of unfamil

A bit off-topic, but i find the Plans & Pricing page to be a very good example of how to design for an attention-lacking crowd, i.e. most web users. In particular, the team-size icons is a rare example of using eye-candy to succinctly h

You say you have been programming, but not if you are solely a programmer or building a product as well. Perhaps it would be easier to think of code as a medium to achieve a higher goal, which is functional software. I'm inclined to believ

Great post, upvoted. I enjoy programming Perl for the web more than anything really, and I think there has been great progress in terms of available modern, efficient and easy to learn web development frameworks. I prefer Mojolicious over D

You raise an interesting point. Would an applicant with "zero" commercial experience (which i take as "not being previously employed in a similar role") but open source projects in Python under his belt qualify as suitable for this role?

I came here to inquire about the same thing. The shared page has been last modified 2011-07-28 but currently Perl seems to handle Japanese fine, either via the Encode module (core) or alternatively Unicode::Japanese on CPAN. Regardless, I'd

Interesting point. I was thinking of the exact same thing. I cringe to the idea that such a defense might lead to some creative rubber-hose cryptanalysis though. The way I see it, this guy is half-way there. I wish I could help him.
