Punch buggy. No punch backs.

FVO readable for future me, it’s not so bad. I don’t have to worry about other people so much. :)

Sure. Nothing stopping you writing readable well commented perl. Just avoid some of the more terse statements. It can be a challenge though.

Shrug. If you don’t like Perl, don’t use it.

It certainly has its issues. I find that the things people have trouble with are the things I tend to like about it. Of course, reading it later is a problem sometimes. :)

Write only language!

I still reach for it sometimes.

heheh. I wasn’t really making an argument though

perl -e 'print "fart\n" if 1;'

Argument?

If this were Facebook I would say this is a bot harvesting user locations for advertising profiles…

It’s kinda natural to me having used Perl a lot.

I love it too. Standardized lids and jars make everything so much tidier, and reducing plastic leach is probably a good thing :)

Consider mason jars for the pantry. Expensive but sometimes you can get a bunch from craigslist or garage sales or thrift stores.

Unless you use zram. Compressing pages is pretty useful as an intermediate stage.

Well frangible. But fragile also works!

You’re thinking of fungal. Fungible is when something shatters easily, like fungible ammunition.

I don’t think that applies since /* will just glob out to all the filenames in /

The grocery we use keeps boxes by the checkout. Saves them throwing them out, since they get hundreds from suppliers.

Market cap? Which stock symbol is it? 😉

Asdf.txt, asdf2.txt, asdf.m3u, asdf.odf…

Linux has some advantages in that a lot of the basic stuff, someone from 1985 would pick it up pretty fast, I think. Commandlines are very conservative. I have scripts I haven’t changed in 15 years.

ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!
