I'd rather they make the code more robust to make crashes unlikely enough that they can actually debug and fix them when they occur, rather than going multi-process as a band aid to make recovery easier on a user

That said, it is easy to recover from simply by re-opening FF and you're right back where you were and I haven't had a total browser crash in a long time. I do experience lock up issues though

It looks like the article was rewritten to focus more what what is happening now than what happened in the past. It doesn't look particularly like underhandedness to me

In Perl a hash is any scalar value blessed into a class

In modern Perl the attibutes would be accessed through accessors so the original example needs tr/{}/()/

Not everything is about utility for everyone

Thanks for sharing. I never knew you were so involved back then or that people were being treated that way

Wonder how Moo compares?

Could you link to your elsewhere. I'm keen to learn more of the P6 history, good and bad

Perl as a language has "unless" as a keyword and a lot of people, who are not inexperienced with programming, have trouble using it at first. Some even rebel against its use and claim they hate it

So it is interesting that even similar seeming things can still require some time to internalise and comprehend

I did a critical thinking A level when I was 17 and I remember thinking "why aren't we taught this from the beginning?"

Trauma and large life changes can also have a similar effect of reframing our views. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is based around the idea of framing/context being important and largely habitual without applying concious effort

And every choice we make may change who we are relative to who we would be if we didn't make it. Basically that line of argument is fruitless imo

Also as a pedestrian

There is no talk of blame or fault. All the poster is doing is presenting an opportunity that you could have taken, and hopefully you may attempt if a future situation occurs, that could have improved your experience. People cannot see inside your head and that is why we communicate

Sorry, I didn't know was much as I thought I did

Is this considered stable now? Last I checked it had some problems, if fixed already that is awesome

Learning Perl is excellent for a beginner

Hmmm, they've never committed to a deadline or even tried to aim for a production release before this time, so it may turn out better than you'd expect

But how can you trust your own witness when you are also a person and just as susceptible as anyone else?

From the standpoint of maximising human survival it is the right call

Well in this case it is weighing up potential benefits for everyone forever vs some negative for a few people. How we respond to that depends on our individual ethical dispositions

I used to use it on an S1 to get something not 2.3 that wasn't terribly performing

He talks about how lisps are bootstrapped on a small core, and that is nice. Reminded me that this is the approach that Perl 6 is trying to take (NQP is the core) although on a larger and more complicated language

Doesn't Deckard actually shift the angle the picture is taken from.....

I read about a study once where college students in the US were asked to provide their ethnicity on the front of their test papers. This had a notable negative effect on the scores of African-Americans due to unconscious bias, I believe it was presented as an example of priming

34.0 and no leak here either

Doing it manually? Now we've got www.cpancover.com

Most Python programmers switching to Perl an assuming it works the same way is probably true though :P

Indeed it looks like it can, but this is still a non-issue if you understand context (a key feature of Perl) and know what foo does

Granted, and most people think prototypes are evil for similar reasons. Perl doesn't have the same design goals as something like Python, it will accept inconsistencies and complexity if they're deemed useful

I personally like this, assuming the complexities aren't too great and the documentation is good but to each their own

Edit: In Perl land it is a bad idea to treat built ins as being identical to subs, and this was taught to me by the books I learnt from. The rub of this is that it is bad to generalise from stuff like print, push etc
