It could be more about MetaCPAN just being better. Or the maintainer looking to move on for other reasons. Not worth the maintenance for a variety of reasons other than that it is made out of Perl. I’m assuming MetaCPAN is written in Perl,

Can somebody please summarize what has changed? Maybe I don't use Reddit enough, but I just refreshed one of the subreddits that I like, and I can't find a difference. Possibly a caching issue?

This is such an important point. I know some people who have made great efforts such as exercising more or quitting alcohol, but for whatever reason they claim to not perceive the purported benefit of their effort. I don't know how to

A Brief History of Time changed my life too. My dad gave it to me when I was about 13 years old. It taught me 2 big things that I had not yet realized: 1) That science was graspable, even by me, given enough time to reflect (and a good te

Me too. What if a company made this? And made it repairable, with a removable battery, so that you could buy one and keep it forever if you wanted? And a little cottage industry could form around it for 3rd party accessories (which also wou

More than anything else, that paragraph is what kept me coming back when I first started learning to program and struggled mightily. I lugged that huge book around in my book bag for months, trying and failing to fully grok one of the earli

I still fantasize about having lisp "all the way down", but I'm not sure what I mean or ought to mean when I am fantasizing. On the one hand, I mean implementing lisp in hardware as fundamentally as possible (don't reall

Quantum Battleships? A quantum game? I had not heard about this in spite of multiple trips a little way down the quantum computing rabbit hole. I'm curious, has anyone here played this game? Is it actually played for fun? Does the quan

>> That's neat. You make a very good point about public perception. But your opening line seems sarcastic and aggressive. I think that's why your comment is light grey.

And Stefan was a great maintainer. I was sad when I heard he was stepping down, but I can't think of a replacement that would make me happier than John.

Interesting. Do you have an example or a link to an example?

At the end of the article, the author gives several reasons why he won't be teaching Swift to students yet. He includes each of your points. (With the assumption that eventually they will be moot.)

Neat! I purchased and spent a few minutes playing with it and I'm impressed with the general attention to detail. Seems like a solid app. Tangential criticism: the icon is visually unsatisfying. As in, it is graphically and logically c

Maybe the first one or two challenges could be available online, and requests should be accompanied by the answers to those. Maybe that would reduce the volume somewhat.

There was plenty missing from that Mozilla post, but yeah, that was a big one!

Mozilla won't even summarize what happened. They don't appear any "truer to themselves" now than they did last week. Didn't move fast enough to engage with people? What does that even mean? What would they have done

If HN has already discussed this particular point to death, my apologies, I missed it. But I don't understand how Bitcoin can achieve its apparent aspirations if my tax consequences are different depending on which bitcoins I spend.
