I see Perl 6 trending a lot around here lately. As someone who has never touched it is there some reason for excitement around it? Or is it primarily people who already use Perl often?

This is equivalent to saying you don't have to tell the IRS you paid someone in USD or gum.

IANAL but maintaining precedence seems reasonable, the same reason Manning was commuted and not pardoned. Not giving the green light for future offenses.

My anecdote is someone gets a cert and now has extremely limited understanding of the technologies and wants to use it for everything. I've had to fight back against the idea that the solutions are cheaper, that everyone doing ETL need

This is my complaint with AWS certifications as well but everyone latched onto them.

I never considered this before. If all the major players were consolidated we would have a kick-ass desktop experience. Now I'm sad. I imagine browser-based development environments will be polished enough for me to use by the time any

Does Docker or Centos or Beanstalk or Kibana mean anything? No, they're just symbols. It's just a name and you have to know what it means. Everything in tech has some stupid name. You're not missing any part of using serverle

Planes most likely benefit from the economies of scale, simply for the huge number of riders they service in comparison with trains for longer stretches. The complicated area of railroad tracks probably doesn't help either. Someone is

I think it could work in certain scenarios. I just would not want to be alone for a major purpose were something to come up. Some years my taxes are super simple, some they are more difficult. When it's difficult I hire an accountant t

I don't know about the person you are replying to but I don't have any problem with a flat fee becoming the norm. I was just commenting on that even buying a home I would want a realtor, which many people here believe they don&#x2

Its possible. I didn't run any numbers or look at patch levels. It just went from running AD FS flawlessly on one to being barely usable over RDP on the other. Now I'm interested and might have to dig up which AMIs I've been

If you are working with some random real estate agent then sure. They are just going to push crap on you and hope you sign. You should build a rapport with one you trust. Then they don't get paid until you are happy, since you aren&#x2

I don't really follow the proposal. Are you saying that there should have been just their realtor and I keep the 3% I would have paid to have my own representative? I don't expect their realtor to act in my best interest if so. Ou

We couldn't test the furnace due to the gas being off when the inspector came. I didn't think anything of it since I didn't know anything about furnaces but my realtor put an extra contingency in to get another inspection of

I purchased my first home in 2017. I absolutely would not have known half of what to do without my agent. In retrospect there are some things that he swept under the rug that I'm paying for now, but all of the paperwork and having some

I've experienced this lately with a variety of Amazon Windows images. For example I will boot a 2016 image from this year vs one from last year and last year's will be significantly faster on the same hardware.

If recruiting software didn't penalize for keywords I think it would be less of an issue. Its a struggle trying to figure out what to put in the "list of technologies" type section. I have to put them somewhere to get past cr

It is entirely possible. I'll have to be more cognizant next time it happens and catch myself if that's the case.

I do a lot of sysadmin stuff and go crazy when I need to do anything except copy/paste, and insert. I really want to sit down and learn vim for those tasks but usually just end up opening nano and going about my business. One problem I

I thought it was also due to micro movements of your body trying to remain stable. Kind of like driving a truck on a rocky road but at a much smaller scale for much longer.

Probably because if they are going to move its easier to just move to one of the other areas of the US. I'd assume cross-Atlantic movement would be after all options in the US, then NA were exhausted of which there are plenty and many

I was trying to implement ES previously but kept running into things I thought we're included "open source" but turned out to be an extra paid feature. With this I know what I'm getting. There is no more vendor lock-in w

They created a compatible hosted database. I believe in response to some licensing changes MongoDB made, so the AWS service targets the last permitted license release by Mongo. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-

The whole MongoDB thing recently. And it doesn't appear that AWS is hosting these right now, just distributing so they must be paying some kind of licensing for ES. But I'm sure that will change.

As someone who has to continually push back against people who have the "one good way to do it", I'd prefer everything was presented as options. People make these statements in front of customers and then we have to dance aro

Yea I don't really see how you can support or dismiss this either way without knowing what the 3 letter agencies think the people in this list are doing. For all we know they could have been in contact with cartel or cartel associates

I've noticed in "DevOps" you will be forced to basically learn an entire new way of doing things every year. There is something about it being so close to the business oriented people that they make demands closer to the spec

This has been great for deciding if I want to walk out to the mailbox in the winter or not. But I believe signing up for this caused me to get a ton of junk mail. There is something about either forwarding/address changing or this info

People glance over and talk around it, but part of prison or punishment in general is to appease victims. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. Sending someone to a 4-star hotel after they've damaged a victim in some wa
