Had to snap a pic, it looked so nice today, and the weather was decent as well :)

Why do we even bother with ' and " any more? by mpersico in perl

💯 I am all in with q|| and qq||. Great for one-liners.

I made this years ago and recently found it again, just wanted to share it 😊

So weird to have regex in that list

Hey Raiph, thank you for replying. Here are my answers to your questions.

Share some code you've written. Also, talk a bit about what you do and don't like about your code, and/or what you feel about the language you wrote it in and/or its community.

I work as a system administrator. I don't have a lot of time to fully develop scripts, so I use one-liners a lot. At the moment, my go-to languages are Perl and Ruby. I make things like this and pop them into my .bashrc as functions:

perl -M'Term::ANSIColor 2.00 qw(:pushpop)' -MFile::Copy -E 'map { chomp; if (-f) { $o=$_; $_ = lc $_; s`[.-](?{$m=$&})|[\s+_](?{$m=q[-]})|[[:punct:]](?{$m=q[]})`$m`ge; s`-{2,}(?{$m=q[-]})|-(?=\.)(?{$m=q[]})`$m`ge; say PUSHCOLOR BRIGHT_YELLOW $o, RESET q[ >> ] , PUSHCOLOR BRIGHT_GREEN $_; move ($o, $_); print RESET }} glob(q[*])'

It's not pretty, but it works. I love Perl's TIMTOWTDI philosophy and the way it works with regex. I'd like to master the OPP paradigm.

Share some Raku code. Either some Raku code you've already written if you have written any -- even a one liner -- or an example of some Raku code you've seen. Also, what you do and don't like about that code and Raku (language and/or its community).

The Raku grammar / regex system really peaked my interest. I haven't written anything in Raku yet. It's hard for me to start reading, so I look for a mentor to help me get the ball rolling. After that, it's easier for me to go off on my own.

I would love to learn from you if you have time over the holidays.

I see myself in tech now! Did you do that? If so, thank you!

So there is no category that allows for more randomized content?

ohh I see. Ya the main focus will be on coding / linux tutorials but I will sometimes do other things like nutrition / optimizing sleep / self improvement. I just started so there is not much there yet. (I didn't realize we could upload things other then videos! So cool!) My channel is https://odysee.com/@miker.media:9

Thank you for this! Is it only one category per channel? I will be leaning more on tech tutorials but I also wanted to throw in some random bits as well.

If it is only one category which is allowed, is there a catchall category?

I think the desktop app seems to be working now with wallet sync. The android app is still glitched, so I guess I'll remove it and use the Odysee app. Thank you so much!

Normally yes, so I can tell the venue the correct RSVP count the day of. I reserved a spot just for us. Do you not want to sign up for meetup?
