For me, Perl hit me at exactly the right time in my development. One or more of the various O'Reilly Perl books caught my attention in the bookstore, the foreword and the writing style was unlike anything else I'd read in program

Exactly the same here, re: Perl. My brain thinks in Perl's regex language and then I have to translate the inconsistent bits to the language I'm using. Especially in the shell - I'm way more likely to just drop a perl into th

It sounds like the big change here is allowing for playing a game from a family member's library even while they are playing some other game. Currently accessing one game from a family member's library locks that family member out

Perl was my first programming language love. While we've largely gone our separate ways, we still keep in touch and occasionally we still spend some time together. One such case is adhoc small scripts mid pipeline. There's just ce

Cool idea. This makes me wonder if there's something similar for log files. I sometimes find myself doing adhoc analysis of live logs using visual cues, but auditory ones are really powerful - just never think of using sound for diagn

He should add AI to his site! Not really - the site is great as-is and there's nothing wrong with this approach. It looks like it works really well for Mr. 61. But I'd imagine it'd be pretty helpful to write tools to help wit

This is impressive. I poked around and for the (few) routes I'm aware of it has excellent information. I can see using this for future planning/dreaming. I've found train travel sites can be fairly hard for non-locals to find

I'll take this opportunity to plug an instant decaf that recent surprised me (very pleasantly). Our hotel offered this for free in the lobby on a recent trip and I ended up buying some for travel purposes. https://treelineco

The point I really liked about that video is that decaf drinkers are probably the most passionate coffee lovers. We're drinking it for ONLY the taste/experience. It's a shame coffee roasters and coffee shops tend to not take

I stuck with 7 or so months of dandy blend and roibos to make sure it wasn't just an addiction to the caffeine - and I eventually came back to decaf coffee. The problem is I want hot drinks with body and complexity - and dandy blend co

For what it's worth, my wife and I also sit and drink coffee in the morning together (although not as a consistent daily ritual). Ours is just decaf. (good) Decaf can taste very good. I've certainly had decaf that was better than

Have you found LED bulbs that dim nicely with the Caseta? It's been a few years since I've tried, but in the past I went through so many bulbs that whine when dimming that I gave up and put in smart bulbs where I can conceivably h

I assume you mean electric unicycle? I can't imagine delivering food on a regular unicycle - it's a lot of work. The linked article was from 2007. He was definitely talking about a regular unicycle, and I doubt speed was a factor.

Mirrors mine, too. Although I didn't get to the travel stage on unicycle (never got outside parking lots), so most of my experience with other people was on electric unicycle early in their arrival into our area. (in the US) The one co

I was never "can't function" level, but stopping caffeine did open my eyes to how much of a fog I was in until the caffeine was dripped in. After a month or so of no caffeine I started realizing I could just wake up and feel

It can also be encouraging. It's important to think about the things you have done and accomplished in life (happiness is more meaningful if you focus on celebrating what you have rather than chasing= what you don't have), and if

Most of "enjoying time with your kids" is less about what you do and the fact you're there to do it. It's about building the memories and the trust (in both directions) that anchors the family together. That'll pay

Having directions take you on a route that runs you by an advertising company could conceivably make them a lot of money. I am not suggesting and have no evidence they do that now, but it's not outside the realm of possibility.
