Sorry, I meant I'd never seen it called the second way (nested parens). I also haven't seen the no-parens version, which looks really bizarre!

That's true, but I've never actually seen anyone call 'has' like that. Plus, Perl's behavior on lists makes sense (always flatten) if there's no mucking around with prototypes, so that's much less confusin

I guess I really meant "is baffling without a thorough understanding of context." I feel better about looking up the + now that I know you did too, though! I don't think I've ever seen code like that in the wild, and I&#

Why not also release to CPAN? It would make managing the dependencies easier for those not installing the packages from homebrew/apt.

I think cursork was talking about 'use strict' in Perl; he said that everyone uses it. 'use strict' in JavaScript is much rarer than it is in Perl, at least in my experience.

I'm not sure how far afield from CS you actually want to go, but the list for music theory is at http://societymusictheory.org/archive/publications .

This is what I do too: Caps Lock sends either Escape (when pressed alone) or Control (with something else). I cribbed it from Steve Losh: http://stevelosh.com/blog/2012/10/a-modern-space-cadet/ .

I'm not a heavy YouTube user, but I think I'm in a similar situation. If I am on YouTube I often want to read the comments (I have no moral problem with any of them), but if I'm searching for something on Google I don't

The value-add to taxpayers is much less concrete in the humanities. My argument was that research in the humanities is essentially done for the sake of doing research: to learn more about the world and the people in it. It is hard to see de

This has been my experience as well. I went to a small liberal arts college for undergrad. My teachers there did very little research, but all taught their small classes by themselves with no TA. My particular field (music) tends to be much

> Do we really need more papers on Ancient History, or should we invest the same money in better teaching? This seems to me like a pretty dim view of the humanities in general. Research in the humanities is not in the same category as re

It would be nice if it actually said this on the page. I had to poke around for several minutes to figure out what this project actually was, and I'm a Perl person myself.

I work in a large educational institution, using PHP and MS SQL Server, and I can't convince the sysadmins to install PDO because the SQL Server PDO bindings have a big red EXPERIMENTAL sign on the page ( http://php.net/

Ha! It seems like the obvious name if you're going to write a helper application for Jekyll. Most of the things I saw poking around were to generate scaffolding, which Jekyll can do by itself now. I was annoyed with manually moving fil

I'd recommend "pcp," for "progress copy"...I'd use it for the name alone!
