OpenOffice Writer and LibreOffice Writer have their proper bugs of their own, to the point that it's very frustrating to work with a non-trivial document. Many of these include som…

From the video, 1ms feels real time, but with 5ms you can still notice the lag. So wouldn't it be more appropriate to say "4ms is significant"?

My guess is same argument as adding blood type to ID: it could help you in situations like emergency or accident (checking blood type is a few seconds anyway, but there might be si…

Wow, I wonder how you got by. I'm useless when I had -2 or -3 myopia: couldn't recognize people's faces, couldn't read signs. With -3 I think your computer screen even looks blurry…

There's also a Perl script with the same name since 2009, written by Audrey Tang (of pugs fame) and then rewritten by Ricardo Signes (of Dist::Zilla fame). I've used this script fo…

By the way, how should one measure language difficulty objectively? I think one proxy can be: the number of years a non-native learner typically requires before reaching a certain …

Yup, typically what a native Indonesian would say about how easy their language is. But foreigners are often tripped with other aspects of the grammar, which the native take for gr…

I wouldn't quite say "equally". Jakarta is a melting pot and the most significant portion of the population there is of Javanese descent. But many many people who are of Javanese d…

I'm Indonesian. Lots of people have Bahasa Indonesia as their first language, especially in the cities. Unless you go to the remote areas, you practically won't find people who can…

As someone else pointed out, I think NO_COLOR should be COLOR (my preferred name, and I've used it in many of my scripts) or CLICOLOR or whatever, to be able to force turning off o…

Some prior arts: Data::Abridge, Data::Visitor::Callback, Data::Rmap, Data::Clean.

It has been like that since forever (at least since 5.10, 2007). To only match 0-9, use [0-9] or /\d/a (/a is available since 5.14, 2011).

Author of the module here. Didn't expect to see my blog post posted here. Feel free to ask any question you might have.

Hi, I'm the author of the module. Thanks for the comment. The documentation definitely needs some work. Only the absolute basics is shown in the module's Synopsis, and some more in…

By the way, do the guys who maintain www.builtinperl.com happen to be here? I submitted a new entry for it but haven't heard back for weeks. Another email has been sent but also ha…
