It sounds like Perl just wasn't your style and that's okay. But, Perl was immensely popular, particularly in the 1990s in its 4.x/5.x days. We used it because it was precisely more elegant, ergonomic and performant than awk

I was a Perl programmer from the early 1990s until into the 2000s and I mostly agree with you. It was a variety of factors. The point where I disagree is I think Perl 6/Raku played a significant role in Perl's decline. It really g

File a Feedback request to make the “external monitor support” available on iPhone and iOS. This is essentially the equivalent of Dex for iOS. The more people that file, the more likely it is to happen.

He’s a CEO with a strong C suite backing him. I doubt Tim Cook has a need for an actual computer. I struggle to think of why he’d need one to perform his job duties.

Minor point: I read this as OS/2. The author may want to correct that. macOS naming and versioning is confusing enough. macOS was never known as OS/X. It was formerly known as OS X and Mac OS X. As a former OS/2 user, it real

Same here, but "enterprise" dotnet developers generally seem to need "more help" and love this kind of stuff.

It looks like current versions of FreeBSD support Linux containers and podman. Can anyone speak to the experience and performance there?

Consider a higher price. From a personal standpoint, I don't think an app costing $0.99 vs costing $1.99 plays a part in purchase decisions, but that's double. Consider pricing up to $4.99 or even more, depending on your niche aud

I worded that badly, but what I meant is I almost never use ".net", I use "dotnet". Eg, when I'm typing up documentation or an email.

In Casio’s context it means “molded plastic” and is used to imply good ergonomic fit. In the larger scope, resin is plastic in an unfinished state. For wearables, it’s commonly used as a marketing term to imply it fits well.

Probably. But I got over it 25 years ago. I think of it as “dotnet” in my head which seems better.

Spoiler: this is another dhh hit piece that attributes differences of opinions to what the author variably describes as a "brain parasite" and a "brain worm". I can't take this article seriously.

iOS already has swipe entry by default. I use it for most of my text entry. It is wonderful. For me, typing on an iPhone worked well until iOS 26. Now I get jumbled AutoCorrect which acts like it's LLM-driven. When I turn off Apple Int

I guess it's a matter of perspective. Dotnet 10 just came out[1] with a bunch of solid new shiny that I'm enjoying. And, as it stands, Dotnet is much further along in the multi-platform game than Swift. As far as I know, none of t
