The solution here is to demand support for the most recent specification version from your tooling vendors. We (the OpenAPI TSC) sometimes hear from vendors "we're not moving quick…

Not really true? There are lots of validators supporting the most recent version: https://json-schema.org/tools?query=&sortBy=name&sortOrder=a...

OpenAPI 3.1 replaced the not-a-superset-or-subset of JSON Schema with the actual JSON Schema (latest version) over five years ago. No one should be using 3.0.x anymore. And 3.2 cam…

There's a way to express that though: by adding `"unevaluatedProperties": false` underneath your properties list.

Perl is #10 on the Tiobe index this year.

> I can't remember a time where "keys %hash" returned the keys in a defined order. It was never a _defined_ order, but before version 5.17.6 (November 2012), each hash returned its…

Well yes, he was a total dickhead to people who asked lazy questions and could not answer the follow-up questions that they were asked. He was strict about teaching people that it …

In his bio he has the most succinct and accurate description of Perl that I've ever seen: > Perl is a wonderful language once you get over the fact that a slightly quirky set of sy…

He "did not suffer fools gladly"

This is very sad news. As I said on irc: He brought many people into the community, and encouraged their growth (like me) I popped into the scene by sending a few Moose patches and…

Twitter's not fixing the problem -- how can its users? The only logical move is not to play.

Fastly does -- most of its configuration management and distribution is handled by Perl applications, and the VCL templates used for most customer boilerplate is driven by Template…

Hooray!

You just confirmed for me that you can't be more than twelve years old.

Comments are supported. There is a "$comment" keyword, and you are free to invent any other keyword you like, as they are generally ignored.

Like which? Or are you just knee-jerking at the term "shiny" and presuming it means "over-complicated and unnecessary"?

They don't have to be real URLs, but just URIs. That is -- the files don't have to be accessable on the network at those URIs -- you can just use these strings as identifiers, and …

> ...if the validation fails then what? Even though the JSON schema document is human readable, just by looking at the JSON schema document, its not intuitive to visualize where th…

Those itemized (and the two people who also left TPF roles who have not been listed) only left their TPF committee positions, and not their programmer roles. Sebastian even did ano…

I'll just leave this here: https://twitter.com/liztormato/status/1404024234020642820

That's so outdated. Everyone knows that words are literal violence now, and the worst offence you can give to someone is not believing in their ideology. It's like we want to emula…

Definitely a non-neutral history, but also nearly a year of intense discussions that would leave even a saint feeling burnt out. The emotional reaction was unwarranted here, but qu…

We haven't really gotten seriously into the discussion yet of what perl 7 will include. All that's happened so far is one person made a premature announcement of what they wanted, …
