> But Perl is one where, depending on the circumstances, the response could plausibly be as article says: boredom. "Yeah, sure, whatever. I'll go upgrade them." (Certainly there are others, but Perl is definitely one of the best in this regard.)

Remaining backwards-compatibility and having good, reliable tests for your OWN software are two separate things and I am sure a special hell awaits those who are unfortunate enough to be using a few more unusual or legacy libraries. To be completely honest, I would expect no less from Java or python within the same major release, namely for the language and the interpreter to "just work" and understand my existing code but I would still be very worried about the functionality of my own software and all the libraries it comes with and that's what my own tests are for - but having these is no Perl-language-specific merit. Can you help me understand why Perl is so special or outstanding in that regard? Maybe just the very test-aware community?
Generating Sprite Sheets in Flash Professional CS6

Nice to see people using some of my libs to do nifty stuff but I must caution against depending on `latest` since this could cause your application to break in the future if I push breaking changes: https://github.com/ptrsghr/joint/blob/master/package.json#L5...

It's a better idea to do:

"dnode" : "~0.9.11",
"browserify" : "~1.10.17"

since that way you'll get patch fixes automatically but your library won't break when I push out an update that bumps the minor version, which could including backwards-incompatible changes.

Any reversible hash would be a perfect hash - not the other way around. That's all I'm saying.

That said, there's nothing in the definition of hash functions that require them to be compressing or non-reversible - although they would typically have to be to be useful.
Talent shortage in Indian IT
> I mean, these days there are whole forums dedicatd to a specific disease. If you told the doctor, "You know, I ran across a forum for people like me, a lot of people have said they had very bad results with (x) despite the clinical trials, so I would prefer (y)"...you don't think they would listen to you?

Forums can be full of people who are deluded or wrong or who just have weird ideas. See, for examples, morgellons[1] or anti-vaccine campaigners or etc.

There are problems with medical research. The good results get reported, the results that fail to confirm do not get reported. But still, properly conducted research is very much better than a bunch of anecdote.
Sasmung unveils "Unleash your fingers" again [video]
To me, Perl looks vastly more complicated than Lisp. I believe you'd find that if you'd know Lisp like you do Perl you'd be at least as productive as you're in Perl.

As somebody who loves both Lisp and Perl I'd probably say you'd be as productive (unless you were sitting in a domain that one language or the other was a better fit for). Well - apart from CPAN and the testing infrastructure. And the editor/IDE support is worse unless you're already an emacs person... but those are just coz Clojure is young.

I'm thoroughly sick of the Lisp == academic == hard myth. It's just nonsense. I've taught newbie devs Lisp and Perl in the past and both groups seem to take it on at about the same pace.

Nope. Although JRuby is not very efficient in calling Java code, at least it's not as efficient as Clojure is from what I've read.

Another plus for Clojure is that it allows us to easily have a multi-threaded implementation. JRuby allows native threads too, but Clojure make concurrency really easy, while JRuby just wraps Java threads with nothing more, so I would have to use regular locking and stuff.

I do have d5100 and I confirm that there is no DoF Preview button. You can read about it's purpose here http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/dof-button.htm
If you really need this button d7000 have same sensor and does same quality photos. It allows for more control using physical buttons (in d5100 you need to use info menu to set some setting). It is also better suited then d5100 for manual lenses. That said it is also more expensive and heavier(but is also more water prove).
Personally most of the time lack of DoF preview did not bother me because I either wanted as much in focus as possible(for landscapes), or only person in focus which was quite easy. Weak support for manual lenses on the other hand baited me once with out of focus picture that I did not notice until it was to late(if it is really bright outside is hard to see photo on LCD, so i just checked histogram).
You can see my d5100 pictures here https://plus.google.com/100147104412340662455/photos if you are interested.

Most Java programmers can't write simple apps without the help of an IDE. Or refactor a small part of a large project with an Text editor.

I'm curious why you think editor choice is the sign of a good developer?

Pretty much nobody I know can code with a line editor (anybody else out there remember ed?) - that doesn't make them worse developers.

Hell - I'd jump at an IDE that let me do automated refactoring in Perl. I like getting the computer to do things for me. Laziness is a Perl value :-)
Well, in my book using Lisp in production is impressive for the best part of my programmer friends :-)
Jason great post thanks. AFAIK, they didn't do most of what you say. Maybe because of uber-popularity of Apple. What is your take on Apple in Japan?
which part of any of that prevents it from being used for architectural purposes?
Why not? Every pre-digital photographer did manual exposures. It teaches you to pay attention to your environment, and ultimately, I believe, makes you a better photographer because it develops your intuition about a given scene and what does and doesn't work.

I started off with P&S cameras and before I knew the mechanics of cameras I was frustrated with the automatic exposures; once I discovered I was missing "manual mode" I never turned back.

Sure, from time to time I'll use the priority or program modes when the shot is more important than the learning experience, but after 4 years of hobbyist photography I still find myself with much to learn and I enjoy the challenge of manual exposures.
This is one of the fundamental things 37signals doesn't seem to understand. In a winner-take-all market, which includes any market with strong network effects, you want to get as big as you can as fast as you can.

Charging for the product makes that harder and opens you up to having someone compete against you for free while monetizing indirectly (via ads, affiliate revenue, secondary services, whatever).

Perl has a higher keyword count than Ruby or Python, but remember Perl's keyword list includes its core socket/network library (which Ruby/Python/Java don't contain in theirs...according to Notepad++).

It's a language design choice too - Perl very deliberately has different keywords for different data types. So we have "+" for numbers and "." for strings. ">" for numbers, "gt" for strings - and so on. The argument being that what you spend in having to remember multiple keywords you gain back in increased code clarity.

if there was an AGPL'd binary which would render a PDF to a PNG, I could host it on my server and let people interact with it but not release the source. The reason I do not have to release the source is that I am not distributing the binary.

These seems exactly like the use case of the AGPL, which I why I think they would have covered that.

(Web Pages (of a web application) are the rendered output of programmes on the server side, so would be the same as "a binary that made a PDF into a PNG")
I have no data on this, but my spidey-sense says you're both wrong. If I had to put money on it, I'd say:

- education is strongly correlated with birth

He means that his 24-70 zoom lens has the maximum aperture of f/2.8 at all focal lengths from 24 to 70. Cheaper lens would get to, say, f/3.5 at 24, but at 70, you wouldn't get more than f/5.6, for example. So you can't set it to 70mm and f/3.5, even though you can set it to 24 and f/3.5, because it can't physically do that. Of course you can set it to f/13 or even more, that's easy to do with an ordinary lens. There are some funnier lenses (mirror lenses, for example) that have fixed apertures. It's f/8 and you can't do anything about it, because there is no mechanism that would allow you to cover more or less of space before the sensor (film).

The first, and really critical, piece of advice is go see a professional

I was skeptical about this, a friend eventually all but carried me to an osteopath. It is instant and amazing relief.

BUT the most important thing about seeing a professional is that they will be able to tell you specifically what is causing your problem - wrist pain, in particular, has numerous causes and comes in many forms. An expert will be able to diagnose the cause and recommend ways to avoid it - in my case it was largely posture based, and getting a better chair has basically eradicated my problem.

Perhaps it's a remote culture thing. I feel mostly the same about european web sites filled with cruft, buggy transaction handling and sending me back my password in plain text. It just sticks out when it's from a different environment than the one we are confortable with.

About the iphone in Japan...there's been a lot of myths and misinformation, but from my POV the iPhone was the shiny modern and bugged to death "smart" phone, and it was to be used in combination with the "dumb" phone handling all the serious business (making calls, handling NFC transactions, hosting the official bank apps, GPS navigation etc.). For a lot of people, crashing when recieving phone calls was a non starter if it were to be used as the sole phone device.

Glad they are supporting it! Looks like that page is just to download one. I wish they would add Chrome to it but meh. Not a big deal. Google has advertising all over for Chrome it seems when you use IE, maybe on the other ones also.

I don't totally agree with the author: coming fresh to php 5.3 without prior contact with the elephant isn't going to protect anyone from php's inherent inconsistencies or legacy way-of-doing-things for very long. I am specifically thinking about the different naming conventions for functions (sometimes underscore, sometimes not ). Of course my remark isn't about Laravel itself.

With that said I used to try every "small but efficient" framework when I was a web developper and I would surely have tried this one with enthusiasm.

This is odd ... but it's not like Google doesn't do the same thing all the time, at least to a degree.

Look at its most recent interactive Google Doodle, the Moog keyboard. When you accessed the page on Firefox, there was a little note that said something like, "Consider upgrading to a modern browser like Chrome to get the full experience." (I think the Chrome version made use of a different method for producing the audio -- presumably implemented for the sole reason of promoting Chrome.)
CNC is probably less useful for printing houses, it's great for negative molds, but harder when you have overlapping empty spaces. It's more useful to have a 3d printer here -- maybe someday we'll have 3d printers that use concrete foam to create simple prefab homes.

I think the worse part of clippy was that it wasn't predictable. I want my tools to be predictable, I want to have complete mental model of what will happen when I do sth. And it should be as small model, as possible.

Clippy appeared at random intervals interrupting me, and almost never were useful. And even if it was - I can only guess what caused it to appear, so I still won't know how to make it do the same thing again. So I couldn't integrate it into my mental model of application.

So it was just very infuriating interruption.

The same problem is with autocorrect. I hate this thing.
