  1. RD @scthewriter: When I rewrite #BSG season 3.5 with a plausible, working ending, Baltar and Starbuck will end up cousins.
  2. Walled gardens, VM sharecroppers, and "Sugar daddies": http://ur1.ca/geaq #perl
  3. Try @array = %$hashref, @artsangel.
  4. "in Software-Engineering terms, the [WHICH?] community is significantly ahead of the professional pack." http://ur1.ca/gcmq
  5. I see no "crazy amount of hate", but I do see a lot of ignorance (as you might expect from programmers on the Internet), @thevoyevoda.
  6. The Risk of Being Undone: http://www.modernperlbooks.... #perl
  7. NQP-rx is some 10.8% faster now in #parrot. Patrick suggests that Rakudo #perl 6 may see similar improvements.
  8. Your fake measurement six years after deprecation and two years after removal fail to convince me this is a real burden, @mpmselenic.
  9. A quick examination shows that that feature has been deprecated for at least six years -- and supplanted for more, @mpmselenic.
  10. How *you* can help !parrot 2.0 be a great platform for Rakudo !perl 6: http://wknight8111.blogspot...
  11. True, @joelash, if by "pretty much" he meant "I haven't done much research."
  12. Amused by pseudo-intellectual justification for aesthetic preference, as if they weren't both important and subjective http://ur1.ca/g5m7
  13. I can't believe (esp. without evidence) that people buy iPhones because they MUST RUN SPECIFIC APPS.
  14. If you don't know much !perl, do the opposite of everything this post suggests. You'll be better off: http://ur1.ca/g40c
  15. "That's a far cry from 'half finished vaporware'" http://chris.prather.org/wh... !perl
  16. That's one reason I spend very little time worrying about the DarkPAN, @burakgursoy.
  17. The Risk of Maintenance: http://www.modernperlbooks.... !perl
  18. I don't want to throw them away, but it'd sure be nice if that 91% of desktop users contributed a patch now and then, @burakgursoy.
  19. Again I ponder if the desire to help Windows victims use free software is worth the difficulty of trying to make software work on Windows.
  20. Publishers outside of the tech sector are just as greedy: http://www.genreality.net/m...
