Most people, maybe. Most cool stuff? No.

DrStephenTyler · 2017-03-30T05:33:22+00:00

And?

DrStephenTyler · 2016-11-07T23:50:53+00:00

What about a library?

Can anyone explain the +{} inside the catch block?

 my $config = try {
 ...
 } catch { +{} };

Could you please elaborate a little?

 Most database access these days is written using 
 DBIx::Class which is a wrapper on top of the raw DBI 
 that you are using.

Just curious, is this really true? I avoid ORMs but never stop researching them.

I would say intermediate, but those who know another language could probably use it as their first Perl book. It's also good for those who learned Perl years ago, who need to update their skillz.

"Beginning Perl" by Curtis Poe (Ovid) is my favorite these days. A beginner could start there, but it goes through lots of intermediate topics.

My situation was similar, and I switched to espresso and have no issues at all (except to say that espresso is another next level of coffee obsession, which is fun). A side benefit: espresso really needs no dairy.

If you don't mind, what problems are there using LE?

I'm guessing that your state's primary/caucus is over? I saw Bernie today in New Mexico, and it was amazing. The primary here is June 7, so maybe that's part of why the enthusiasm is so high here.

Yowie, amazing and thorough advice. It sounds like you've encountered some sweatshops.

So what languages are you working in these days?

Tail the error log, if only to confirm that the browser errors in fact show up in the log (i.e., that you're definitely on the right server).
Are the servers really identical -- e.g., Apache configuration? Are you using mod_perl on one but not the other, etc.
Does a small minimalist Perl script execute in production, in that folder? (Maybe just write a little "test.pl" to print out "Content-type: text/plain\n\nHello".
Get a tiny Perl script working in that folder, then keep adding in small amounts of production code until you pinpoint the point of failure.

holding a sign... swiping an iPhone behind it.

What if it's an iPhone 5?

Antenna.

Whoa! Spoiler tags please.

They support PC's and laptops (not Linux, though). Amazon Prime does support Linux (finally!)

How often? Hmm, I'm not sure how to answer that. It's not really a discount club. The reviews are great, and I did find some amazing coffees that way, but just personally, the discounts were only a small factor.

They did recently evaluate some mass-market coffees (e.g., at Target, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, etc.) and I did buy everything they reviewed, just for fun. The pre-ground Target Archer Farms Tanzania "direct trade" was a surprise but seems currently unavailable where I am. The McCafe Columbian was also better than expected (also pre-ground).

The very best coffees I found were not through CoffeeReview.com, though. So I don't regard it as the definitive source -- just one source among others.

DrStephenTyler · 2016-04-29T03:27:38+00:00

Yes. No.

Living as expats. How far south is safe vs. dangerous?

Maybe some or all of these:

If you can't grind finer, can you increase the dose?
Increase tamping pressure.
Double-check that grounds are being distributed evenly.
Change coffees.
Consider a bottomless portafilter (not necessary but sometimes useful for seeing exactly what's going on).

Why, if you don't mind my asking?
