The DC and Baltimore Perlmongers invite you to join us for a workshop at the Silver Spring Civic Building in Silver Spring, Maryland on Saturday, April 6, 2019. The workshop will have two tracks of speakers, discussing innovative, exciting, and fun real-world usage of Perl and related technologies.

We also have a CFP open for a few more weeks -- we welcome any and all Perly-glot proposals! Anything from an introduction to Perl and tooling to how you deployed your latest Perl app on Kubernetes. We love it all!
He was right, really. There hasn’t been very much discovered that would have been surprising in 1980.
Not only that, the very idea of clear, literate explanations is really a core part of the entire Internet ethos, heavily influenced by UNIX. (Read http://theody.net/elements.html - you'll be glad you did...)

This was revolutionary back in the days when most protocol specs were proprietary and designed to protect the priesthood (usually of a particular vendor)rather than facilitate interoperability. It's hard to imagine now, but one of the big reasons TCP/IP won was that it actually encouraged interoperability and interworkability. (Jan Stefferud drew a distinction between those two terms in this context...)
CLI Tool – Convert between JSON, YAML, TOML, and HCL
The implication of there being free-range kids is that the rest are factory-farmed.
The comment stated why they do this and it's a real reason: some people want to negotiate. They're happier being offered 100 and negotiating up to 110 vs being offered 110 outright. This may be the tipping point of accepting or not.
From my understanding, VC funds as an asset class don't perform that well. A few of them hit the jackpot, but if someone spreads their bets across a number of funds, I would be surprised if they beat the market. So keep that in mind when comparing returns.

Another thing to consider, is that focusing on the 'middle road' does not necessarily preclude a company from swinging for the fences, it merely sets the incentives such that getting to profitability sooner is advantageous. They do this by encouraging dividends as a form of compensation, but the company still has the option of going the VC route.

So if anything, I think this structure is the best of both worlds. If a company can take ~$100k in seed for ~10% in equity and turn that into a small business worth $10M, that is a 10x return. But if it looks like they are on to something bigger, they can raise another round and keep grinding.
Do you care about what the world is?
Doesn't this mean Harvard should accept everyone? If equality of outcome is important - and I'd argue that it is to a much greater extent than most people would consider acceptable - doesn't it stand to reason that we should care about it at the level of individuals, not merely populations? What's strange to me is that people seem to think that equality is only important when talking about small differences across arbitrary social constructs, while entirely ignoring much larger gaps in individuals.
The same kind of unsubstantiated broad-brushing can be done to women's rights activism. It's unfair and not constructive.

>>wrapped up in anti-feminist conspiracy theory

How is that any different than believing that a patriarchy controls society and imposes gendered norms to discriminate against and subjugate women? That's a mainstream view of feminism.
Oddly, nothing has changed in the way God made the universe in the intervening years. Some things are timeless.
do you have/could you share population data for your users?

like median earnings, median debt, nature of debt and such?

I am just curious and have no particular reason for asking, but it would be interesting
...Microsoft estimates that the county currently needs about 305,000 affordable-housing units to fill the region’s affordable-housing gap.
It might not result in jail or kids being taken away, but it can absolutely lead to an investigation - as your link demonstrates. It might be FUD, but imagine the unshakable FUD that would result from the deeply invasive and strung out process of being investigated for an unsubstantiated claim of neglect.

jerf is accurate that the current system stacks pressure against parents and not in a nice way.

And that would be my fault - my parenthetical was just imagined reasons why there might be a saturation-related slow down.

Why not build more, smaller accelerators and put them to more practical use — for example, imaging protein molecules.
Multiple lines in Oregon.
I don't understand. It's difficult to not read the straw man "all seats should be equidistant from the baseball diamond"

I hear you saying a lot of shoulds which need justification by themselves, but even if I accept them, there's nothing we know of that can provide that.

A core contention between us is likely to be "how much of our current lives are we willing to risk to speculate toward the feel-good shoulds?" My answer is "all steps should be dramatically small and take a long time to make sure we can back out if we misstep." That's the core of what it means to be conservative, to me.

In other words, Hell is a long way down, we, all of us, have it too good to speculate dramatically in large ways or in fast ways.
I have ordered four pairs of -4 glasses from aliexpress ranging from 1 to 7 US dollars, from four various sellers, some have arrived already and are surprisingly good, lenses are great really. Maybe I'm lucky to have standard distance between my eyes, but these super cheap glasses are just as good as those I used to buy in a local clinic for 50-100 USD.
you can buy a flight to Asia, buy your glasses and come back. it would still be cheaper than going to a store in USA.

In fact that's not how supermarkets evaluate queuing. They evaluate strategies based on exposing you to the most items while waiting - or you can check yourself out for the "discount" of not being exposed to impulse items.

Unix/Linux talk/ntalk is my favorite method of textual communications. Too bad I can only use it with a few of my friends, and only occasionally at that. We can communicate far more quickly if both can see the other's questions/answers even before they are fully typed out.
Aspidistra elatior could work. A modest (boring) slow-growing creature. After some years can produce small and very alien flowers eventually.
They should work, provided you let it update the software. However, the scene around rooting chromecasts died and I don't think you will retain root if you let it update. So you'll have to put it more effort to regain root, but in theory it should be possible.
Actually, even though most connections are switched point-to-point these days, any properly functioning implementation (definitely up through 100Mbps) must still implement CSMA/CD. It's required for proper functioning of Ethernet hubs and some bridges!
IME testing was the worst choice.

Stable is very stable, but packages are often years old and lacking features you might expect from fedora.

Sid breaks occasionally but unlike testing, Sid actually gets fixed rapidly because the fixes don't have to go through as much review.

There's tons of churn with dozens of packages being updated daily on Sid, whereas stable is great if you're happy with the feature set offered.

Backports are hit and miss.
Any idea on when it will land?

I'm on a team at building a C++ component and just installing boost can take over 20 minutes for a build.

I mean, I'm sure they do also sometimes produce journalistic content, and it might be of great quality when they do.
Which will make me read no more Conde Nast articles. Cool.
One can certainly do fine by grepping ls output in one-off instances, but I'd be really hesitant to put that in a script.

For given paths, stat command essentially lets us directly access their inode structs, and invocations are nicely concise. The find util then lets us select files based on inode fields.

Both tools do take a bit of learning, but considerably less than grep and regexs. Anyway, I've personally found find and stat to be really nice and ergonomic after the initial learning period.
Maybe. For me, the DOM is far from the oddest thing to deal with. That's just fine.
Stop/go is bad. Gliding is better for the collective and for your fuel efficiency.

And there's possibly an "even if they were more expensive" dimension to such a claim too.
> Well, suppose a miraculous breakthrough occurred and the life expectancy shot from, say, 75 years up to 750, pushing back the onset of debilitating age.

I wonder how this would play out economically. Most of us here could probably retire by 100 (and many by 50) and have enough accumulated wealth to live off interest. Could we have a world where that many people live off interest forever it would the extra productive years create enough inflation that it's not feasible?
A lot of it just comes down to lack of competition. They own pretty much every major eyewear brand.

Well that's pretty darn nifty! That'd be pretty useful to have at hand in an IDE like vscode.
Mmm... Particulars of unification depends on how you extend SM, but general idea about unification at 10^16 GeV based upon EM/Weak and QCD coupling constants energy dependence taken directly from SM. Basically, if you plot those coupling constants vs log(E), you'll get their merge at circa 10^16 GeV. That's baseline and it is pretty much pure SM, details are filled differently from different GU theories.
There are lots of possible models of unification (a short list of where electroweak and QCD unify are listed here[1], not to mention many more models where gravity unifies), and without experimental data, we don't know which one is correct.

Interestingly, though, in many insurance industries it's illegal to offer different rates based on gender. Health insurance is one example.
PLEASE IGNORE AND DISREGARD AND DO NOT GIVE ANY CREDIT TO MY ABOVE COMMENT BECAUSE:

The above comment was made by someone Insane, I mean, Me myself, and some doctors will happily tell you I have Schizophrenia[1],

...(I don't exactly agree here, but they are doctors)...

...among other sometimes impairing Mental diseases,

...what brings me even close to what is called Tourette Syndrome[2] ( in a mild form, with mild ticks, sure, but this one I have to agree with the doctors)...

well, for sure, I went over the top, was before my first coffee of the day. Never comment before the first coffee. But I really assumed strainer was being Snarky. So, if you were being serious and not snarky in your comment, strainer, sorry, and really sorry, but it is too late to delete that now.

And if someone has the power to delete my Rant/comment, please do it as soon as possible, because it was not fair. Please Dang, or someone. I was not fair for him.

Not because of me, please note, I don't care for this account, It is not only Anonymous, is full of bits of private/personal misinformation, and wrong leads, and false clues[3], that I spread intentionally, exactly to anonymize myself.

( because Moriarty, the enemy of sherlock, was stupid and his decoy bits always converged, instead of diverge, that is what a decoy anonymizing bit/crum is)...

But is not fair for strainer. His account wasn't anonymous, and I made a big mistake of talking to HIM (adhominen) and I am not usually like this, was lack of morning coffee, really.

So I am very sorry for that, Strainer, really sorry, Mental Health is not my strong point, and I see now that your comment was made in Good Faith,

and I am sorry for assuming you were being snark, and Im sorry for the astronomically adhominen, Insane, batshit-crazy slip mistake I made.

Sorry Strainer, I see you are a nice guy, I hope no bad feelings left, and I really apologize , and who knows, maybe we drink a beer someday...I pay.

Wow that's a lot of food waste! Was upper management really disconnected with the kitchen staff and delivery drivers? They must have known burning through that much cash and wasting food is incredibly wasteful and unsustainable right? I'm really having a hard time getting my head around why management simply didn't just tighten the belt buckle...

Also assume you were paid by the hour? How many deliveries would you typically do since traffic is so terrible around the times they deliver?
I suppose "substantial" is subjective, but I really do thing it counts. Certainly their are unfortunately frequent vulnerabilities in the code it intends to replace. For example:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1493900

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1493903

To be fair I'm not actually sure rust would fix either of the CVEs I linked. Both being about problems in the generated code (as I understand them from a glance), which is something inherently unsafe to do.

Edit: I realized you might be picking out the word "ARM" on that page. I know Crainlift also works on x86, and I assume it's intended to replace IonMonkey everywhere, not just on ARM chips.
Then again, so did Bloomberg when they claimed that there was some super secret chip on servers sold to Apple/etc that sent data back to China.

Why do you claim the shortages are due to suppliers becoming malicious?

Why do you claim the US sanctions are to blame, when said sanctions have only been applied to individuals? (Unless there are new ones I'm not aware of).
There’s nothing wrong with going slightly upscale to Warby Parker with accurate measurements and some QC, especially if you have a more “demanding” Rx.

Does this label bother anyone else? I love the go programming language but I'm definitely not on board with this.

I happen to be a software developer who found effectiveness and value in Go and will continue to use it as long as it proves effective. That is all.
This kind of shit just does not happen in Shanghai, where I live. People get pickpocketed but I have heard of exactly one incident of violent robbery in six years here and they were professionals after a great deal of money, not petty crime. Equally this just does not happen in Tokyo.

You may not have defended what happened but if you don’t think it’s acceptable either my reading comprehension or your writing needs work.
I really like what Influx is doing. I find getting information in and out much easier in Influx than most others.
It turns out that seemingly distinct forces are related in some clever way. The most approachable example of this (though it doesn't quite extend to the other unifications listed above) is electricity and magnetism.

Before Faraday's experiments, we understood static electricity (charged objects attract/repel charged objects of the opposite/like sign, proportionally to the product of the charge, and falling off with the square of the distance), and magnetism (magnetic poles repel).

Once we saw that moving electric charges generate magnetic fields and vice versa, we opened the door to realizing that these are both just aspects of the same electromagnetic field.
Is the glasses industry heavily regulated? because if not, this is evidence that free market forces tends towards monopolies and wealth inequality.
I bought an XPS15, and have had nothing but trouble with it. Every time there's a Windows update, the hard drive "can't be found" and it wipes GRUB on every reboot. I've been spending half an hour every morning getting it to a state where I can use it again, and had to mess around with firmware downgrades to get it usable (until the next Windows update).

Never buying a Dell again. Their support were worse than useless, insisting that somehow installing Linux had caused the problem.

I'm eagerly waiting for my first Purism laptop, then I can get 30 mins of my day back.
As already pointed out a dozen times in these comments, buzzfeednews.com and buzzfeed.com are distinct.
It's by state.
If the mirror is bent, a level will not help. A level is useful if orientation relative to gravity is important (something has to be horizontal or vertical, like a cabinet, counter, or picture). That isn't even remotely relevant here. You could do this measurement while staying at the International Space Station.

Even cheap mirrors from a dollar store are more than good enough for this, as long as they are glass. Most plate glass glass is made by floating melted glass on a bath of molten metal (which is heavier). The molten metal, if undisturbed, provides a perfectly level surface.

Just don't use a plastic mirror, or a cheap polished metal one, not to mention a magnifying mirror.

Even fairly noticeable distortion will not matter at the distances involved in this measurement. Let's say that your mirror is so horribly warped over the tiny ~65 mm pupillary distance that the pupil-to-ruler lines of sight are an entire degree away from being parallel. The measurement will then be off by about 1.7% of the distance from your pupils to the ruler. If you get your eyes within 15 mm of the ruler, the error is only about 0.25 mm; below what you can resolve with that ruler.

If the mirror is fair, but tilted, the effect is negligible because the lines of sight remain parallel. The measurement is diminished according to the cosine of the tilt angle. For a rather significant five degree tilt, it will be only around 0.25 mm short.
I don't think that's a lie. They have certainly invested heavily in changing the experience --- but unfortunately, and like many other products seem to be these days, just not in the way that you want.

(It's not just you. The "why did they spend all that effort to change things that didn't need to be changed" question has come up for me countless times upon seeing redesigns of other products.)
This is actually a viable exit strategy for a founder, if you can believe it. The first startup I worked at blew up 3 times. The initial investors gave up and sold their losses. The assets were sold to a large company. The large company agreed to keep the company separate with the founders on the cap table in exchange for keeping the team together. Ran through all that money and then sold the company again, though abandoning the tech and really just selling the team. Each round everybody got non-trivial retention bonuses. The founders were careful to negotiate a non-preferential cap table (how they did that is beyond me -- amazing sales people) and made a tidy profit on each sale. It's not "unicorn money", but it's definitely "living well" money. And the funny thing is that running the same company in the ground 3 times is not a strike against you in the VC world it seems.

I was young and stupid at the time. I should have stuck around and rode their coat tails for a while -- I would have made at least "house money" off it. But I was a bit too focused on doing "real work" and ended up embarking on a career that made many people very wealthy, not including myself ;-) No regrets really, but I may have some when I retire...

Three Men Charged in ‘Swatting’ Schemes
A Story About the Trouble with Job Titles and Descriptions
Yeah, annoying is probably the word I'd use. Not so bad that I contemplated switching back to stable but nowhere near as trouble free as I recall things normally being this far along into the cycle. I'll be updating my mirrors tonight and hopefully some the the bigger nuisances will have been addressed. If not, time to start filing bug reports...
Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, Daily Beast, blah blah name your left leaning news orgs every day: ORANGE MAN BAD!
Well your classifiers aren't looking at the distribution then. 6 out of a few dozen isn't bad, that's where I'd like to be.
> "After it failed to pull together an emergency funding deal ... One of the AR startup’s main investors, Candy Ventures, has acquired the company’s assets and will be keeping the brand alive underneath the leadership of [the] founder"

I'm no investing expert, but this indicates to me that Candy Ventures intentionally allowed the Blippar to fall into this state of shambles so that Candy Ventures could somehow get a better deal. Seems like an absolutely brutal business strategy.
Back in the 1990's Denny's once had a veggie burger on their menu and they sold a total of 2 dozen I think nationwide. That's how bad veggie burgers were once though of.

Why Don’t We Talk About Peru’s Forced Sterilizations?
I don’t think that’s a viable strategy in today’s world. The kids I knew growing up that were pushed hard by their parents are doing much better (and happier) than those that were not.

Kids don’t reliably make good long term decisions for themselves. It’s more fun to play fortnite than to practice for a math/piano competition. They can’t see the long term impact of not working out and eating poorly.

I got pushed pretty hard as a kid. It wasn’t fun at the time, but now I appreciate it. There’s a widening gap between the rich and poor in America, and it’s a lot nicer to be on the rich side.
