Tiny point: the article incorrectly implies chkntfs and atmadm were original early 1980's DOS commands, but they were circa 1990's.

Maybe, though personally, "perl operators" has never failed me in Google.

Is there really such a great difference between operators vs. class/method/function names? E.g., Math.pow() vs. ?

I do find it funny, but also, it's [perl 6] documentation. But I agree with your point that personal preference varies. Just an anecdote: a startup I work with built a product on Rails 2. It has been successful beyond anyone's wildest drea

Build something. Design something. Contribute to something. Help people. Give and get feedback. The rest will take care of itself. Relax, start small, keep going.

Have you tried changing the stock rubber cap to the vastly more ergonomic concave model? It gives you much finer control, effortlessly. It's a popular aftermarket part available for a couple dollars on auction sites.

Are you familiar with Bumblebee? It provides switching between integrated and discreet graphics without reboot for NVIDIA Optimus-equipped laptops. Although at the moment it's a manual install, it should find its way into popular distros s

This doesn't seem like a "PHP coding quality" issue to me -- more like a trust issue, because the site admin opened the security hole by installing a WP plugin. That could happen in any language / framework / situation. It's rogue code tha

I had the opposite take. It seems to me he's modeling his approach on Perl Foundation grants, which pay hackers for part-time or full-time work for a specific set of deliverables. These grants are generally deemed successful in terms of de

Minor point - the quotation at the bottom of the page looks like it's being attributed to Matz.

Irrelevant for what, to whom? Everything is a tiny fraction of something -- are you saying that value is purely a function of popularity?
74.
by rjbond3rd 14y ago
Why? Because you predict it won't meet your definition of popularity? Once upon a time, Arch and Gentoo were dismissed in exactly this way.

Ah, thank you. That is indeed confusing then but I'm leaning toward supporting it.

Android is on the flash by default, Linux on the SD card. So you're getting two OS's. The $5 is to overwrite the flash with Linux.

For Myth 4, you're agreeing with his point. He says: > For the record, the MVC Framework is [also] completely open source... [thus] This is not a differentiator for Rails.

Is he not performing the functions of a journalist? And if so, should we not encourage and admire someone's impulse to buck the system (without being destructive or unreasonable)? Why side with Goliath?

It is well covered in the film's expository introduction, which uses storyboard-like illustrations and a voice-over to explain the history.

Ah, understood. I was thinking "valid == well-formed" without knowing whether it really works (i.e., could be deleted), whereas I see you rightfully point out that it more reasonably means "it works." Thank you, makes sense.

I'm not exactly disagreeing but just curious: 1. How can a non-RFC-compliant email be valid? 2. What about compiled regexes, performance-wise? 3. Sometimes a regex is faster than the overhead of a parser, so wouldn't the choice be dependent
