And for very small amounts too (compared to the whole mess). Fantastic return (on that little bit, out of the whole mess). Same for medical research.

In particular, investors often like to see the contrast of infrastructure development (investing in future GDP), as opposed to paying day to day operating costs, retirements, inter…

Sure, if you have too much business that you can't be bothered to check these other leads. Same for browser incompatibility: you end up with a form which demands no blocking of any…

They ARE suggesting such things (including forms of "not looking") even for deadly ones. In these cases, it is couched in terms of what follow-up is "deemed necessary" (see later) …

Perhaps BOTH the "money-grubbing hospital admin" and the "very well-respected and honor-bound doctor" are wrong for not involving their patients in these decision? And their insura…

One-liners is one of the ways you can use perl. You can also use it as the embedded language in some larger project. As perl CGI. As mod_perl. etc. There is no "cultural pressure" …

You indeed ran into toxic environments. I don't feel that the common, new perl programmer intake path was anything like that. Not what I ever ran into. Support in forums and such w…

I wouldn't call it hermetic in that the many forms of documentation are insanely thorough and accessible - if not well advertised. There is no gate-keeping (from my point of view).…

> The whole point of crypto There is a common confusion in this (perhaps?). Most businesses get created primarily to make money. Not primarily to solve the world's problems. It's e…

You can't do that if you gave up at the very first sigil puzzle. I'm fine with that: to program in Perl you need to be able to follow manuals, man pages, expert answers, - and even…

You COULD, if you wanted, and spent quite a bit of effort in the pursuit of that hobby, participate in one-liner, or obfuscation, or golfing friendly contests. Which were enabled b…

Mostly - from here - python is so incredibly slow to write. Who has this kind of time?

Which is (sadly) hilarious because that was the reason most people seem to have gone with python: they were told "this is what we use here" or they bought the "line noise" nonsense…

There was no such pressure. That's ridiculous. There were a lot of things people could grab as reasons to form an opinion without even reading articles, never mind the tutorial. Th…

What exactly is complex or "super subtle" about this? It's the textbook example from the 1st chapter in the tutorial or something?

> in 2026, it'll be 11 developers writing it over 11 years. Perhaps too, a tool that's been around and in active maintenance for 11 years has been wildly successful.

It would be nice if academics would move to BOTH publishing the technical write up, AND a more understandable write up of their interpretation of the result (in more detail than th…

> Make an S&P10 then instead How do you pick these 10? After the fact, necessarily. So then meaningless for tracking the economy.

"Now it's different". Is it really? One aspect of these stories is that we all do age and we do climb into higher positions. So we run into "too old" and "too qualified" and "will …

4. Overqualified can also be seen as you are seeking this job purely temporarily. While continuing to seek better. You may be gone within weeks. A more alert project might seek to …

The very specific example you chose: payroll, shows how it can be difficult to incrementally step from small to huge. As you grow from town to national, you will run into all the d…

I am agreeing with you that there was a mismatch between the expectations on using the elaborate documentation in its various forms and the tutorials and the stellar course - and a…

> none of them supported mod_perl Once mod_perl existed (it was late, after lots of CGI perl) - I feel that my clients and I never had significant difficulty in finding providers. …

> But at least for me, I realized with Perl 5 I wasn't smart enough for it. I feel like you but I love it: I am not limited by the language. Not by perl 5 and not by perl 6: When I…
