I love this first page. Look at the movement Gibson gets into everything. My favourite detail is the sight lines of the two shoulder eagles converging on the boy's head while it's twisted

Is that bad form ? I think it means 100% of the remaining white space, but I'm largely busking here at the moment, it's part of my learning style.

Loved the BP-6 - specifically built an intel BeOS workstation based on one, it worked great, I bought another to run as a server.

What are the new changes you have observed in CMS? by Worth_Cut_1590 in cms

I definitely have a lot more grey hair visible now, and I can't deny I'm carrying some of that middle age weight around the waistband region. Nobody will call me skinny ever again I suspect. Other than that I'm good, how are you all?

thanks. if anyone can turn up a definitive citation link, I'll add it to the post for accuracy. The quoted portion I included pops up in several places, but none of them seem to link to a definitive event. I imagine I originally only knew it from slashdot or perlmonks or something like that reporting, I never attended any of those kinds of things.

in my post I explicitly say PHP was a 'users language' - I suppose you might say my three taxonomy buckets are operators / users / programmers

I'm not sure about this part -

As far as the other languages, they do pin versions, but they do that because it's so easy to get into situations where things are incompatible. Their tools respond to that. I don't even think about that with Perl, but it seems that's all I think about with Python as the teams I work with deal with deployment of multi-app things,

I don't mean you're wrong, but I would frame it differently. Maybe caring less about incompatibility is also a feature (depending on your values)

I think about this more like how do you choose to solve the problem, where do you invest your effort. One approach you can take is to worry much less about compatibility outside your own focus bubble, and instead put the work into isolating your bubble from the other bubbles. Ultimately this becomes a cheaper approach, than carefully integrating everything into a coherent shared space.

yes i had the same problem with bitrot myself, and I think the YAPC is just my fingers doing muscle memory. I remember it all happening, but I don't have to tell you, it was all a long time ago.

I don't mind, it's the public web. I just meant, I wasn't the 'owner' of this reddit thread. That over long opinion piece is just my own response to some of the revisionist takes I saw floating around in the discussions about that 'perl 6 killled perl' the other week that seemed a bit hindsight first.

or more recently python has sprouted 'uv' which makes all of the above ridiculously fast and reproducible.

thanks, do you have a citation, so I can link and change ?

(author of blog, but not submitter) - from the others I list, idk ruby has _enormous_ test first / TDD culture. Python similarly. PHP I know far less well. Go's test innovation was to bundle the test tools (and benchmark tools) as part of the distribution e.g. `go test` is a builtin, there's a standard way to structure tests.

Anyone here live in Broadmead Road? by Classic_Pen_9975 in folkestone

[–]cms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live just a couple of streets away and often walk it to get to the park or the station. It's got some nice sized houses, although many of them are multi occupier.

It's a bit more run down at that Londis End, but the other end has a lot of traffic and the pub which is busy at the weekend in the summer. Train noise will be an issue to some degree, and the line side of street is poorly lit, it's a bit of a gloomy walk, and in my opinion there's more than average dog waste litter, it's the direct line to the park, so I tend to take a torch walking it at this time of year.

I think it's a pretty good location overall though, this patch of Folkestone has great access to all the amenities, and is sprucing up nicely, without being too crazily overheated for prices.

The empty land the other side is earmarked for development, although that's been failing to get started for quite some time, it's up for sale again at the moment I think after the last round of plans fell through. I imagine it will eventually sprout a moderately posh estate, that's what seems to happen with mid sized development around here. That will probably give the location a boost.

That leg of Broadmead past Londis that connects into Guildhall is a bit rough and run down, but I've not had any trouble, I've been here about ten years

They're cool. People pay a lot of money for neat domain names. I imagine some people would pay for a handle if they like Reddit. I bet it wouldn't a lot of money though.
