I don't think that's true with Perl at least, unless something has changed dramatically very recently.

I can't wait for the labor surplus to drive down my wages.

I really find that hard to believe, and historically real growth has averaged about 2% year over year. Just because it has had short-run highs in the 1950s and 2000s does not mean that right now is abnormally low.

Growth is not over:

Edit: To elaborate, the rantings of one economist who has been wrong many times over does not make for a compelling work.

I'm from Oklahoma, and I always wonder how much of our social behavior is based on the fact that Oklahoma was, until recently, Indian Territory and land worked by farmers who came around the time of the land runs. If you're struggling to provide enough food for your family in 1889, there's no way you are letting your children not eat all of their food. I'm sure that is self-perpetuating in some way.

I absolutely love Perl, and I think that the newest versions of Perl 5 have taken much of the good things that Perl 6 promised and added them. I really think that Perl 6 misses the point and removes all of the charm of Perl. Why change sigils and all of these operators? The people who don't like them aren't using Perl anyway, and they won't be using Perl 6 just because it implements them in a more obvious but less meaningful way.

I also don't think the addition of a more mainstream object system is a positive thing, but that's a debate for another time.

Edit: And it's not just about sigils, but about changing things for no meaningful reason, especially things that set Perl apart and make it what it is.

But regardless, I think Apple could have easily ended up just the same as the others without it.

Microsoft bailed them out to avoid further antitrust inquiries.

How great was life for the average Cuban in pre-revolution days? I think if I were a Cuban I would be more than skeptical of undoing all of the positive things that have been accomplished since 1959.

Perl is a terrific language. When's the last time you've used it?

A good but unfortunately temporary decision for the working people of France. Good on them.

It's a real shame that Perl isn't a popular language anymore. At least there's still an active community.

Too bad people aren't going to jail for openly flouting regulations. That would probably stop a lot of it.

Is <br /> really prone to that? I've only seen that in people actually trying to do XHTML.

Why? I don't know of anything named Pearl. I know of Perl, but not Pearl.

Most homeless people can get food, at least in the United States. It's possible that he had other needs that he didn't have easy access to otherwise.

It's all there.

That's exactly what I don't like about it.

Spend your better years inside during the 9 months of Finnish Winter.

I hate it when web developers do things like this. The normal version of things is almost always better it seems.

Why wouldn't you want sigils?

This study is ridiculous. Dijkstra's paper was written before C was. There's no reason to believe that he was referring to the style used commonly in C code.

Edit: I just mean the tone the study writer takes is ridiculous. It is good to know that goto is used thoughtfully.

I've done a good deal with Perl's Tkx library, which basically forces you to understand Tcl, but I haven't used it beyond that.

I used CrunchBang for quite a while, and it's sad to see it go, but I completely understand why the maintainer doesn't want to do it anymore, even though I disagree with his statement that CrunchBang no longer has value.

I know there are other ways to generate it. I'm just wondering what self-respecting dev wouldn't write their own.

Is there such thing as not-hand-written HTML?

Can you elaborate some on this?

I think that's a bit disingenuous as to how single party politics work.

The first edition is quite good. I'm sure the 2nd is just as good.

This is the way most regional hospitals in the US are.
