As a recovering web dev, I am absolutely thrilled to see older browsers aggressively cut off from support :) But for the hypothetical company stuck on XP, it seems (to me) contradictory that they would migrate to the cloud but not to a mode

Right, the bar should be much, much higher for a programming job. Since there's no challenge in it, no weeding of applicants is performed. To me, though, it's self-defeating to simultaneously accept resumes via email -- it shows there's not

Yes, I was just now reading the PDF book excerpt and came to note that there are no quotes in the example as it appears in the book, on page 4. The book looks like a great balance between fun and sheer density of information, a reference b

Minor quibble but on his second example: > perl -le 'print map { ("a".."z")[rand 26] } 1..8' The double quotes are not needed around a and z. (Verified in 5.14, 5.12, and the truly ancient 5.8).

I'm talking about the recruiters and corporate people who are looking for someone who charges, e.g., "no more than $100 an hour." What does that mean if the problem is never solved correctly? That at least they got a bargain? To me, an im
