Re: implicit variables, I understand there are environments where "use strict" is not an option. As someone working in Perl heavy shops for about 10 years, I hardly see any Perl program that does not use strict. Now, Python on the

My impression is that human languages are more expressive - There is more than one way to do it. # For a bank, if ($authorised) { allow_entry(); } # vs. a shop: allow_entry() unless $person->is_smelly(); The language

Perl5 is not being EOL'ed in favour of Perl6. When the time does come around for Perl5, I would guess that only a small fraction would migrate to Perl6.

It isn't just the author personally controlling though. It is about using tax payer's money to do so.

Good points. I would rather have these answered in planning, rather than a retrospective. If these questions need to be asked after every week of work, that's a sign that the retrospectives are not helping much.

It boils down to what kind of trade-offs we are willing to make. I might have been one of those Linux users that didn't have many serious issues for decades. Tried OSX for a while (2013-14), but didn't like how OSX gets in the way

What richmarr said. If a contract is in place, then the terms of contract would take precedence over GDPR as "legitimate interest". In other words, zero change before or after GDPR. If the school is trying to get free modelling ou

As a UK resident earning a comfortable wage, I personally wouldn't mind paying a bit more, and hope the NHS continues to be easily accessible. Money can solve many problems, but these kind of "solutions" only adversely affect

To be a bit pedantic, these are not different ways to get a sub arguments, but accessing an array in different ways ("default array" in this case). If I understand this correctly, your criticism is aimed at how the core language m

Yahoo's infrastructure - Packaging, deployment, configuration management, monitoring etc. - was all Perl about a year ago when I was there, and most likely still is. The recommended tech stack was: Java for large applications, Perl for

I think the parent's point was just about the name of the language. If it were called something like "P6" instead, it would have helped avoid some confusion - especially among those who are only peripherally involved with Per

I'm personally okay with non-annoying ads, and ABP works for me with zero effort from my end. Do you have alternative recommendations that do something similar to ABP?

Modern Perl book was first released a few years before P6, which isn't even released yet. The companies that currently use Perl (at $work, even) are not going to switch to P6 any time soon, but can, and do benefit from the more recent

As a parent, and an introvert, I'm not convinced that kids (or anyone, for that matter) absolutely need social interaction all the time. If a parent/adult were to teach the kids all the time, in some ways, they're interfering

For commuters, may be that's all there is to it. If I want to go out on a trip with my little one, I'd rather have a bunch of her favorite things in the car (without me having to lug it around every time), and have the convenience

I don't have access to the full text of the paper that quote from the article refers, but I gather from the abstract that the idea of classifying high/low EI jobs is from the paper, not the OP. Perhaps full text of the paper has m
