Exactly right. Very little is at risk from rising sea level at high tide. Places like this are at some risk during smaller storms, because they're so close to the new mean. However, a whole lot is at risk from hurricane storm surges

I assume you need to stay up pretty late to get all of the presents delivered, Mr. Claus. I keep similar hours as the GP, which I can do because I'm remote in a group with other programmers around the world. Actually, the late hours h

Apparently it is possible, as zgrep can search gzipped files.

I don't think it's fair to characterize Rakudo Perl 6 as incomplete, at least on the MoarVM backend. It is very nearly complete, with the bulk of the semantics fixed in years past. It is currently passing 122627 tests[1]. If yo

GP is likely trolling, but CO2 does work in the night the same as in the day. It keeps in infrared radiation emitted by the earth and things on the surface, like you. You won't have a temperature increase, but you'll have less c

Indeed. I had to keep reminding myself that the book was nonfiction. Some of the things were exactly the kind of symbolism and setting details I'd expect a good fiction author to weave into a tale, but they really happened.

I suspect if anything, there will actually be more ways to do it in Perl 6. It can be used entirely from an object-oriented point of view, or entirely from a functional programming point of view. This is construed to be a feature of the l

Correct. $ is an anonymous scalar (which autovivifies to 0 and increments in $++). There's also anonymous array @ and anon hash %. The hash form you can see in action here, in the one-liner mad-libs code: http://rosettaco

In California chaparral, both area and rate of burning far exceed the natural levels. I suspect that the plan for the entire Los Padres ecosystem would be full suppression of wildfire, except perhaps in the most remote areas. Alamo Mounta

The website of the genealogist mentioned in one of the citations goes into more detail of who you are very likely related to. For instance, if you are a human, you are almost certainly a descendant of the Old Kingdom pharaohs. If you'

Well, "1.WHAT.say" is also available. But Perl 6 is designed to put code smells in capital letters. EVAL, for example. WHAT shouldn't be used in normal code, but it's useful as a teaching tool or for debugging. If you

The problem with experimenting on the global scale is that we don't have a control to compare to, and also that we all live there.

You say "add memcached" like it's easy to do on 10 year old wiki software. TVT is running a highly custom Pmwiki install, with no upstream updates in a long time. The something wrong isn't the hosting costs, so much as
