Can you suggest a real usable pragmatic option to Perl on a Unix scripting environment?

Python and Ruby tried to compete with Perl at the large application level. Interacting with databases and other stuff kind of things.

That still doesn't fulfill the requirements Perl was invented for. Larry Wall invented Perl not because he wanted a Python or Ruby, The Python and Ruby of that time were already present in the form of C. Perl was invented because C couldn't do a certain things well. Namely it never natively blended with the Unix philosophy. It couldn't do 'Text' properly. It could not be what awk, sed, grep and other Text processing utilities combined together would be.

Besides all that, Perl is a natural evolution to bash, shell, sed, awk, tr, cat and many many other text processing utilities combined together working together in a very large application. That continues to remain Perl's biggest and most distinctive unbeatable advantage so far.

Perl is a natural extension to Unix, and it has evolved to now be capable of doing nearly everything. If the name Perl would not have been given to Perl, it would probably Unix programming language. Think of it in that terms.

Do you know why despite so much trolling, bashing and criticism Perl receives. It still manages to grow and thrive year after year, decade after decade? Its because Perl is same as C, Lisp, SQL etc. Its a first time done right language.

Anything that is likely to replace Perl, will be a bad replacement to Perl. Or at maximum will be or look like Perl(Eg Perl 6).

To kill Perl you may have to kill the whole Unix philosophy. Because that is what Perl is. Its a natural extension to Unix.

Perl is here to stay for decades to come.

Every new generation of programmers will discover Perl and use it just like how every new generation of programmers discover and use C and Lisp. That is what enables stuff like DuckDuckGo to be built in Perl.
Why not? I ask sincerely. It seems like a reasonable approach to me for web apps, just NOT for simple sites that rarely change or are not "application" like
My recollection is that insurance tends to be on a monthly basis. Give notice at the beginning of the month, and you might be covered until the end of the month in any case. Double-check that, though.

I think that if you give two weeks' notice, you're doing the company the courtesy of offering to stick around for two weeks to help with the transition. They might not accept that offer, because they consider you to be a security risk or something, but even if they decline it they're still obliged to pay you for that time, AFAIK; they just won't let you come into the office.

While there might be things for which they could terminate you without owing you severance pay, I don't see how giving notice could be one of them.

But I'm no expert. If it matters that much, consult an attorney.

This is a good point. If you don't want your photos seen by others, don't put them on Flickr. If you want to sell highres versions of your photos, only put lowres versions up. So long as things are properly attributed and only low-quality images are stored/used, I see this as Fair Use.

If you read the actual requirements[1], they're going to be hard for a lot of people to meet. For one, you have to be able to drop everything for about two weeks near the end of the year, then about a third of 2013. You have to have a bachelor's degree, plus 3 years of experience (grad school counts for this), have to pitch a personal research project to them & have experience doing field research, be in good physical shape, not mind being cooped up with five total strangers for four months eating astronaut food, do all kinds of strange tests, etc.

I'm guessing the graduate student exception to professional experience is because that's where they're most likely to find reasonable candidates for this, because they might be able to take a semester off and possibly even get academic credit for doing something like this. Most other people couldn't just leave their jobs for a four month gig with NASA, however cool it might be.

Anyhow, it sounds like one of their goals is to have people who could be trained as NASA mission specialists. So if you want to be an astronaut someday, this might be your chance.

You also have to consider that conventional version control was designed specifically for programming code where diffs are done per line (as each line in programming typically serves a single purpose, e.g. assigning a variable).
With written language however, that is typically less true. You would only put line breaks after paragraphs and such. Most of the line breaks end up being automatic margin wraps which serve no purpose other purpose than helping readability...
Unless you work in version control. What you end up doing is making each paragraph a single line which destroys readability if you don't have virtual text wrapping. Case in point: https://github.com/WiredEnterprise/Lord-of-the-Files/blob/ma...

The original blogger and all the naysayers were completely insane to think this was some sort of design oversight and that the Model S would not include significant improvements.
I feel pretty confident that the context all supports the point he's making. The lead in is about how wonderfully Dropbox has executed; and they have. Then he states the core point twice linking terms like "indifferent" with "hardware" and "operating system". The point is so central to the piece that he underlined it. Then stated explicitly that it "commoditizes your devices and OS". Then, in the last paragraph uses the term "cross-platform".

The author really does believe that "state" is where Dropbox is headed, but I believe there are significant barriers there. Short of an anti-trust suit, I don't see that barrier coming down, which is going to be a significant impediment to Dropbox's ability to offer a "cross-platform" solution.
I don't know if you meant to reply to someone else or if you misread what I was saying, but I don't see Microsoft's brands as a particularly troubling subject. I'm glad they're consolidating their Windows Live stuff to a nicer name and format, but I'd say on everything else they market just one option to the consumer and multiples to the business.

It's harder for Microsoft to throw away some brands because they have massive amounts of users who only know the name. Apple hasn't had millions of users on me.com over a decade and a half. Harder to throw out hotmail.com.
Why would you be mortified? Anyone offended obviously hasn't/didn't read the article. The context is evidently about calling a thing what a thing is, not racism.
You go acting so scared about it you'll do yourself more harm.

Context is what defines these scenarios. The only other horror is to be scared of is to be perceived (by idiots) as potentially racist and there is no honour in fearing that.

As the great comedian Reginald D Hunter once said: when talking about British people coming up to him and asking him if they were accidentally racist in given situation: "... was there hatred in your heart?". In this case, evidently not.
For health insurance, there is this thing called COBRA that you get mailed to you and can sign up for. Basically it means that you can pay out-of-pocket for the same coverage your company gave you without a change in price.

For my last employer, health coverage ended on the last day of employment. However if something happens between your quitting and you filling out the form, COBRA still covers you because the law states that as long as you sign up, it's "retroactive back to the event", the event being you quitting. I don't know if this applies for non-citizens. I would check your employee agreement or handbook for the specific conditions.

These details are from my lawyer, however IANAL myself. For more details on this I would defiantly ask an expert; insurance law is very tricky and my explanation may not be complete.

In terms of what '2 weeks notice' actually means, it varies heavily by company. Some shops walk you out the door immediately or within 24 hours (finance). Others almost always wait the full 2 weeks to get everything in order. Many times it depends on other factors, such as whether or not you're leaving for a competitor (or in your case, starting a competitor).

They're not public, but I used LPTHW and went on to work on a few Django apps dealing with GIS and criminal intelligence analysis. Aside from the web front end, the projects involved a lot of analytical code, and LPTHW was great for getting me thinking in the Python way.

Your first statement asserts that the "vast majority" of NEA projects are bad ideas. Seems that reality doesn't bear that out, most of them seem reasonable to me.

Actually no, my first statement takes the universe of all projects as a reference class.

If you think the NEA picks good projects, go ahead and argue why that is the case. You haven't done that yet, you merely said "it's never possible to know if it's unwanted." I.e., you are assuming the facts we don't know will somehow support your position.

Asserting that reality is complicated is just the truth.

But there is absolutely no reason to believe complexity supports your position over any other position.

If you want to delve into the complexity and make an argument for the NEA, do it. You haven't yet.

I don't think the if it ain't broke don't fix it mentality is really appropriate for an innovative company. Flickr is simply giving its users the option to add a line of code Pinterest introduced that restricts how their work is used, which they are fully allowed to do. The title mis-represents the action.
How is it hard? They tell you what the brand is designed around and let you pick options before you pick a brand. Need that 16GB of RAM and an SSD? You can pick that instead of picking a brand.
Why would anyone do that instead of writing in Actionscript and compiling to iphone/android/flash/javascript or converting finished actionscript to haxe or if you're wwilling to put up with no rename refactoring support in FDT or FlashDevelop at this time, just writing it in haxe.

Writing server code in javascript is a bad idea imo namely because its easier to find competent java developers.

I wish you guys and other developers would embrace haxe.
Perhaps, but if one includes the risk of the lawsuit failing combined with the time to assemble the case, it's a loss for a lot of people. Since you're selecting out people based on income or how much they value their time, you're also selecting out most of the people who would go through with this in the first place.

I'm asserting that there won't be that many people willing and able to bring these cases to AT&T, particularly when the payout is so low, and that, in the end, makes the whole deal peanuts for AT&T.
I suspect it is dominated by self discharge. By that is just guessing at the load.

How does Apple find dates and times in emails?
Totally agree. Good PR lets the bad news out all at once, and the good news out in drips.

Day 1:

We are very sorry that a handful of our thousands of users has had battery problems. It is true that a battery can be irreversibly damaged by a "deep discharge". It has not been covered by our bumper-to-bumper warrantee, as it is considered to be a misuse. This is only possible if a car is not being used on a regular basis, and provided our cars are left with a 50% charge they can last for months without a problem. Please do not leave your Tesla with a low charge if you will be away for a long period of time. This should not be a problem for the vast majority of our customers, but some may need to take special precautions, if they will not be driving their car for a long period of time.

Day 2:

Compare old Tesla to new Tesla. Note how long the new Tesla can last on 50%. Note that all cars have problems (oil, radiators, fan belts); and that it takes time for the new rules to sink in. Note that only a small handful of customers have been bitten, despite it being a completely new system. Note how many people have their engines get cooked, even after 100 years of oil burning cars. Note that electricity is fundamentally simpler, and easier to maintain, and that will only get better with more design work, and as people become accustomed to it.

Then wait a while, and find (or make) some good news. Free replacements for the handful of effected customers?

The more time people spend reading and arguing over the fine points of PR spin, the more time your name is dragged through the mud. Get it over with quickly.
I guess you don't really believe in copyright if you're going to use scare quotes around it.
I'd like to see the hypothetical Windows buyer who has a choice in what version they're running. Macs come with OSX installed. Windows laptops come with Home Premium. That's the full extent of it. Consumers might have the option to upgrade to Professional in some cases, that's about it.

Basically people are complaining that Windows is not cool. If that's what you mean, just say it, don't fucking dance around with some "oh they're stupid and don't understand people even though they've sold 200 million Windows 7 licenses in the same time Apple sold 4 million OSX computers" bullshit. Then find me some statistics showing that the cooler technology always wins out.

Isn't this a little misleading? If you have a million users and not a single chance of ever monetizing, your userbase isn't as valuable as those with say, 10k users who are already collecting money from them all.
I realize it's an ad hominem, but I'm surprised Gruber didn't further emphasize the fact that Battelle runs an ad network. Of course it's in his best interest to be able to set 3rd-party cookies. Understanding that puts Battelle's argument in a different light.

Given that Mozilla claims they "fight for the users," is there a reason Firefox doesn't also default to only allowing first-party cookies? (Perhaps it has something to do with the massive deal with Google that represents 90% of their revenues?)

> Nowhere in the release do they say that the battery can not be bricked by leaving it for a long period without a recharge.

I happen to have first-hand experience with a gas-powered Porsche that was left parked for so long (years), with no starts, that the engine eventually became effectively "bricked", and had to be written off. And I had to fork out 1000's of dollars on engine repair (attempts) to even reach the point of deciding it had to be written off. This is with a gas-powered engine, a traditional car. So there is precedent where a car owner can misuse and/or fail to maintain the vehicle properly per the manufacturer's guidelines, and it becomes bricked. This is not a new kind of problem introduced by Tesla.

And yet in your "$40k to fix" scenario you were wealthy enough to be able to afford a $100k+ exotic electric sports car, in the first place.

If you buy and wear a $20k watch, and you irresponsibly destroy it or lose it, it'll probably cost you $20k to replace it. And the obvious lesson for people considering buying $20k watches is you shouldn't buy one if you couldn't afford to lose it or pay to replace it. "If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it."
Very surprised that this didn't get more attention.

It's interesting that we think the lack of women in tech is a bug to be solved. Just because half of the population is female, it doesn't necessarily follow that half of any particular selection of the population must be female.

Put another way, we lament that there are not enough women in tech, not enough women ceos, not enough women in <insert high prestige white collar work>, but I can't personally recall seeing a great deal of frustration over the lack of women in trash pickup, construction, boxing and prison populations.

(full disclosure, I do think it's a bug that more women aren't in tech, but I thought I'd play devil's advocate for a moment..my technical cofounder is a woman).

I'm kind of sad that everyone here seems to think overcomplicated names like "Windows Live Messenger" and "Microsoft Office Word" have been around forever, and we're now finally seeing Microsoft come to their senses.

As I understand it, Microsoft was the originator of simple product names. Remember Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Microsoft Mouse, Microsoft SQL, Microsoft Mail? It all started to go crazy around the time the monopoly controls kicked in. Personally, I think the crazy-long names were created so that in case the government decided to split them up, the names would be the suggested guidelines. ie. "Microsoft Office xxx" is one company, "Windows xxx" is another company. Oh, "Windows xxx" is too big? Well then how about "Windows Live xxx" and "Windows not-Live yyy"? And so on.

Now that the DoJ has finally gotten off their back, they have not-so-shockingly started to go back to a sensible naming scheme.
