Perl and CPAN definitely do not get enough flowers for their contribution to TDD.
You might want to go ahead and inform those investors who bought Amazon or Booking.com stock in the early 2000s that their orders of magnitudes of returns were really no such thing.
With which JavaScript version? At the time HOP was written I remember JavaScript still doing all it's for loops in C-style and there was certainly no arrow syntax to make anonymous JS functions manageable. There were…
Thank you for taking the time to break this down! Your description and summary blocks have started me wondering... has there been much work done on converting APL statements to more verbose explanations? The…
I'd be very interested in reading more about the differentiating features of GNU APL. There is a great big announcement at the beginning of the GNU APL docs that talks of a decision needing to be made around a gap in…
True but if I understand correctly (and I'd be happy to be corrected by someone with more K experience), the smaller size of input data should also have an impact on real world parser performance (including the memory…
The original K design was laid out in the 1980s when the constraints were even tighter than what they are today. The utilization of very short operators means not only the interpreter easily fits into cache but also the…
I'm awaiting delivery of a printed Mastering Dyalog APL book while reading this! I landed on kdb+ after seeking a reasonable alternative to the so called "best in class" Elastic Search/Kibana tooling, fell in love with…
According the recent 18.0 release presentation, it sounds like they are aware of how different an experience this is relative to other interpreted "scripting" languages. To that end, they have added support for a Run…
That is categorically untrue. Verbal cultures in Australia have kept an accurate account of a coastline that existed over 10,000 years ago. Meanwhile, the supposed collective knowledge in books is constantly second…
Thank you for raising this very significant detail to the comment section!
Raku includes an incredible amount of new tools for writing one-liners. Furthermore, you can convert your one-liner into a command line app simply by wrapping the code in a `sub MAIN($pos-arg, :$named-arg) { ... }`.
It's worth checking out the Red ORM, great progress is being made and it feels very Perl 6 native in terms of its semantics.
Perl 6 is my go to scripting language. The concerns about code styles don't apply at that point because it's all me. And the multi paradigm nature of Perl 6 means I can solve any given algorithm using a style that fits…
Considering the amount of crap that is heaped on Perl 6 for even daring to exist, maybe in the future you might consider using language that highlights something that you find impressive. Otherwise it comes off as more…
All the companies that got the trillions of dollars in contracts sure think so.
Why is it that no one in astrophsyics seems to understand that electricity has mass?
If Google Podcasts has gone from non-existence to being "one of the most popular platforms" in a matter of months, its actually an insanely good reason not to engage with them at all.
Which are nevertheless accessible from any podcast app. To suggest that Google trying to muscle into the podcast space by leveraging their search engine to direct people not to the podcast feed but to their own service…
Even at it's slowest, Firefox was never even close to an order of magnitude slower. Geek culture has zero loyalty, otherwise people would run the product that has moral integrity even if it costs them a few milliseconds…
One explanation is that he made drastic reforms related to the tax collection capacity of the priestly class. This was in addition to/a consequence of his re-conceptualization of the state religion. After he was deposed…
Reini, get off your crazy horse man! No one in the world, including the author of the Parrot threading model, thinks it is the "best" threading model.
To me it seems pretty clear that you said "probably" out of knee-jerk both-siderism.
The UK was always a special-case member of the EU, always demanding it's own uniqueness and pushing neoliberal garbage at every corner. The EU council should never have bent over so far backwards for the UK in the first…
Nobody at a concert is going to wait through commercial breaks, for starters.
