I agree on several of your points. CPAN is kind of meh right now, since Python/Ruby/node.js are quickly catching up (or have passed it, even). You can quite easily find libraries existing in other languages and not in…
Except perl 5.17.6! (I suspect the hash randomization feature will cause a lot of disturbance)
Is there a colored JSON dumper in Perl?
Reason no 6: The expression of people's faces when I tell them that I use Perl. “Oh! wow, why?” Priceless.
Except wget -r, which is still widely used and has no equivalent functionality in curl.
Ok, httpie is prettier and has some syntax shortcuts, but it doesn't even do a fraction of what curl or wget does. No recursive downloads, no simulating diferent HTTP protocol version, no SSL options, no even retry…
I thought there was going to be an actual game.
The winner will be ICANN who laughs all the way to the bank with hundreds of new gTLD registration fees (equalling tens of millions of US$). The losers will most probably be companies like uniregistry.com (or, more…
Judging from the store website: - Recharge cycle every 3-4 days (compared to months/years for a traditional watch) - No apps listed for functionalities that usually belong to a feature/sports watch (heart pulse/BP…
Nice, although were I to write one, I'd probably just use PowerDNS and its pipe backend. Probably only some 30 lines of Perl/Ruby/whatever. Example: http://wiki.powerdns.com/trac/browser/trunk/pdns/modules/pip...
Don't worry, if this workaround is popular enough, Apple will change its policy again.
Hence, FB has been trying to create its own phone/mobile OS.
Probably because FB is not a bank, and there are strict regulations in most countries for companies that store people's money like banks. Paypal is not a bank either, but I'd guess storing credits is still easier…
Yahoo! never cared for Linux users. Remember the Linux version of Yahoo! Messenger? It lagged behind the Windows version so much before being quietly removed. Coincidentally, I never care much for Yahoo! anymore.
Single window, ok cool. But after ages, still no tool to draw some boxes and circles? This is proof that Gimp's goal is not designer's productivity. Pass.
Nothing beats Org (http://orgmode.org) for me. But sadly outside of Emacs (and Vim) it's virtually unknown to the rest of the world.
The lack of libwget does frustate me sometimes; I have to use wget strictly via command-line. curl also has some nice features lacking in wget: selecting HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1, support for multiple SSL libraries, etc.…
But curl curve is inclining.
Thanks! Although over time I've also come to accept that I will never be near as fast as the natives (or people who learn to read from when they were a child).
Off topic: I started learning Chinese a few years ago when I was already an adult, and my Chinese reading speed is still stuck below 150 WPM, while my English, also non-native language, is around 500 WPM. Any tip to…
So the only use case for this application is when one cannot use "the real thing" (org-mode in Emacs), e.g. when browsing using an internet kiosk PC, tablet, and smartphone? Btw, I do hope tablets and phones can run…
Well, competitors have existed since a decade ago, but many have also died. The closest competitor now seems to be Plesk, but it hasn't been able to snatch the crown from cPanel yet. If I remember it, Plesk 7 or 8 for…
I'd rather see an extensible quoting syntax a la Postgres' pl/pgSQL, e.g. ``j` {"a": 1}``. When you want to support YAML: ``y` {a: 1}``.
So you never use 'single' and "double" quotes?
Never used photo tagging in G+ or FB, opt-in for who btw? For the one being tagged or the user who uploaded the photo?
