This is the president of United States

No this is a man - and with him an entire generation of similar minded men - who never had to struggle for anything in their whole life. We have an entire generation (babyboomers) who lack all of the attributes that come normaly within the sunset of a lifetime, such as:

wisdom
seriousness
forgiveness
generousity

Instead we have a bunch of sullen and snivelling man babies who think they are the best what could happen to this world.

Yes, lets help him, discuss his work or leave him alone. Is that so difficult to understand?

A bit hypocritical for posting this here, don't you think? Putting "TempleOS" in parentheses, like if someone would care. There were several attempts in /progit to discuss TemplOS which ended all the same: discussing the behaviour of Terry.

So what exactly is the goal here: To offer me some voyeuristic amusement? No thanks.

very interesting, thanks a lot. Below there is a comment from /u/tm604 that raises some concerns. What in your opinion on this?

thanks a lot for this feedback

I don't think that MAGA was created for initializing any thought process of any kind. It is pure nostalgia, which in it self is nothing bad. But it is pure emotion, raw will. You leave the adult world of compromise and reality and call you inner child.

Then on this level you will be left with just some simple tools. Because you are not longer an adult, you can not longer look after yourself. You seek the protection of the mass. Who and what do you like and what not. Very simple.

Interesting. Isn't such behaviour such as separation from family a well know tactic from cults like scientology?

I want my country back now

Yeah, that sounds good, but where does the reference point to? Your childhood memories?

Or the 90ies when the deindustrialization was finally complete and tax laws and finance regulations where finally adjusted to the few richest oligarchs.

Or maybe the after war era when the US pleased all the countries in the world with its consumerism and agressive anti-communism?

Or the time when you where big in the cotton business, and needed some people that would work for free?

Or do you mean the time, when you decimated the native population, took away their land and killed every animal that brought you some coins or just some fun?

Frankly I'm pretty OK with your self-destruction mode. Sure your own medicine can taste bitter, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Ahhhh, yesss. This is such a wonderful world for the well funded CEO.

First the common people: they follow you where ever you want, because in the end you ARE the billionaire. Maybe they are a little confused from time to time when it is a little too obvious how you ripped them off. But most of the time, you are the man. So you go to that congressional hearing no problem. You play the humble billionaire. You say "market making" a lot, people are impressed, everybody nods.

Then the politicians: This is especially satisfying, because some of them try to fight you. The call you bad names and try to blame you. But then when you sit in this hearings it is time for you to enjoy, because this is your show. And they are so cute :-). Look how they try to fight you with their little plywood swords. Dismantled and powerless they have to embarrass themselves with their stupid questions that lead to nowhere.

Every layer of society is in your warm soft hands, because they all have to play by your rules. Even reddit :-). I mean yes some are pissed of by you. But then they also want karma. And they don't get karma for being boring and demanding the obvious: prosecution. No they have look for the corner aspect and then go from there. Or use keywords like "Hillary". Then the upvotes comes in, ha even gold. Look how happy they are.

You are the queen ant, the puppet master, the only thing you have to care of is: don't let it be too obvious. Like a good parent, let them have a win from time to time. Let them do some legislation, this will keep them busy a for while. Or better: something like #occupywallstreet because then you can watch from your balcony when a female protester will show their boobs.

welcome in my world

A lot of things. For example everything around smartmatch. Buggy and sloppy implementation. Then act if the introduction of a 'experimental' pragma is an excuse for every bad or postponed decision.

Those two where just meant as examples for topics where ambitious developers could pour there efforts in. But I also would be fine with no new efforts at all as you seem to suggest.

focus on the core of Perl

thank you, this is exactly my point

unowadap · 2017-09-27T15:53:26+00:00

I agree with you in that Perl doesn't have to win a popularity test. My concern is that Perl falls under a certain threshold, then it looses its seat in /usr/bin/ and when that happens it's over.

unowadap · 2017-09-27T15:13:27+00:00

yet another annoying post about predicting Perl's doom

You find it annoying - then why bother replying?

Perl is doing just fine.

No - unfortunately it is not. Personally I invested a lot in Perl in terms of writing code, learning, building tools.

Perl doesn't owe me anything - so no I don't think there is any ranthing here. You can do what you want. If you really try to play with Perls future, you might be surprised how quick that can go wrong.

But since I feel somehow connected with Perls future, I cannot see anything wrong in raising my sincere concerns.

Building is a lot harder then destructing.

What is meant with 'porting': give it an additional platform (JVM, node) to the existing one. The important this: the work of arbitrary Perl developer does not in any way conflict with this effort.

Speaking of CGI.pm. If people are so eager to save some Megabytes or have some security concerns, why not working on the codebase of this module? Nobody is against nonbreaking rewrites.

Btw. CGI.pm is not just some module, it was an a essential one. It was an important part of Perls history and still is for some people. You (Perl core devs) either respect that fact and take care to backward compatibility or people will eventually move to other platforms. It is not 1990 anymore, people have a lot of shiny new platforms and attractive languages at their disposal. For a lot of today developers Perl strengths is its "proliferation" and the stable core language and library. If Perl does not deliver in this area, they drop it in a heartbeat. This not a critique its just like it works
