It’s also nice for keeping those pesky scrags away. Can’t do carpentry on the Castle of the Damned without

Yes, but the best ones obviously use gatling nail guns.

Typing speed matters in programming the same way hammer hits per second matters when building a house. There’s a little bit more to it.

Same. I’m sure python, rust, and all the others are better/cooler/vegan/whatever but perl is what I’m fluent in. More than once have I started to hack together something in python, only to scrap it and start over in perl because I can get it done so much faster. Trust me, my hourly cronjob doesn’t care that it takes half a second more to run. And the UPS doesn’t care that it takes 1mW more to run it. But I care a lot about not dicking around with documentation just to figure out what is pythonic and what isn’t when a shitty perl oneliner will do just fine.

Don’t know, and to be frank I don’t feel so strongly about it either. I use perl because it’s the language I happened to become fluent in some twenty years ago, and nowadays when I want to put together a simple utility script in python I usually just say “meh, fuckit” after ten minutes and finish it in perl instead.

99% of my code is in perl. My local power source is 100% hydroelectric. I therefore choose to believe that nuclear energy would result in my code quality improving.

Seconded. Proud owner of a '96 940 station wagon here.

I’ll let Randall Munroe decide that himself, considering the fact that he provides URLs for hotlinking below the comics

I didn’t ask for this crossover. I demand it.

I for one really do not care whether it’s called Parmesan or Parmigiano Regiano. Good cheese is good cheese.

If windows didn’t exist, linux would dominate with the problems you describe, and we’d still see this meme, but advocating for FreeBSD instead.

That being said, I like them both. It’s been a while since I last used bsd, so I think it’s about time I give it another spin.

Top right one is also published as “Learning Perl”.

On a serious note, I’m primarily a perl guy, and Learning Perl is one of my favorite books.

From the article, it seems more like a capacitor than an actual battery. While it would still have its uses, such as smoothing out surges and dips in power demand, you won’t see anything powered by these any tume soon.

Plus I’m curious as to the energy density. High energy density capacitors can already be made via other cheap materials.

It is my firm opinion that void* should be named “disappointer”
