        It is pretty fun how Perl treats all arguments as just a list

        No fancy shenanigans needed to allow variable-number-of-arguments, and no need for a special apply keyword (since every function call f(a, b, c) is basically (apply f (list a b c)))

        Same with return types. Every function returns a list, so no special values stuff going on

        Perl has fallen out of favor because it seduces people into playing a particular kind of code golf, seeing if you can reduce the number of named variables all the way to zero.

          Obviously code golf gets silly, but I do always hate coming up with meaningless variable names (like in a quick foreach), so I like just being able to use the standard $_ variable

          When other languages do it, its called "tacit" or "point-free" programming, but when Perl does it its called "a mess" and "a crime against humanity"

            Android Studio just spellchecked me for writing "disp" in

            android:id="@+id/disp_time"

            Apparently View identifiers should be made up of actual (English?) words.

                              Según lees es mucho peor. La famosa Planifica tiene un consejo de administración con nueve miembros, más plantilla aparte, para comprar y vender inmuebles de uso administrativo. En cinco años ha vendido uno y ha comprado dos, sin contar con el ático de marras que no hay por dónde encajarlo en sus estatutos ni en nada que tenga que ver con ella.

                              Es todo acojonante y no me extraña que la loca asquerosa ésta siga dando versiones y enfadándose con el tema. Y eso que ha conseguido que sus perros de guerra (cómo me recuerda a Mad Max II, con lo majo que era el malo) en las tertulias ya apenas lo mencionen.

                              Está empezando a ser molesta, me temo, con tanta chulería y me gustaría mucho saber dónde espera terminar. La Espe es noble y rica.

                                La CAM tiene casi cinco mil inmuebles en Madrid. Cinco. Mil. De los cuales 107 están disponibles. Ciento. Siete. Disponibles. Y nos hemos gastado más de 1000 millones de pesetas en algo que ocupa 400m2. Lo de que esté frente a la casa de su mami puede ser casualidad.

                                Y si iba a ser residencia de antiguos presidentes de la CAM, ¿dónde meteríamos al o a los siguientes? ¿Más millones de euros en áticos chulos y céntricos?

                                (Supongo que os habréis dado cuenta de lo bien que funciona , el más mejor servidor del mundo, y del que estreno nueva versión).

                                                  "Searching" fully qualified URLs is part of all flavors of Fediverse experience, as far as I know. It's probably a core weakness of the Fediverse when it comes to wider adoption. At this time, a "non-technical" interface seems to strongly imply non-visibility of URLs. I don't think that's reasonable, but it is what it is.

                                                                            I've also seen a good few games marked as roguelike by their devs, cos I think it's still seen as a selling point, which aren't really - they just have a permadeath option or an overmap that works like some popular roguelikes, and that's frustrating too.

Patrick Volkerding has built Slackware since 1993, largely alone, without a foundation behind him and without billionaire patrons and without the fucking drama. When someone made a pride logo for Slackware (which looks great by the way!), Pat's response was a friendly "Nice work!".

                                                                                    Compare that to Omarchy: dot files for Arch, backed by billionaire patrons and marketed as the future of Linux, with a founder who's spent years publicly campaigning against DEI, disbanded his own company's diversity committee, cheered the end of race-conscious college admissions, and recently wrote a blog post comparing Romani people to wolves that need culling and ending with "when gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them."

From what I’ve checked, OVH allows you to add extra IPv6 /56 addresses for free, though you initially receive a /128. If I recall correctly, OVH VPS starts with a /64, but I’m unsure if additional ranges are available. I think that might also depend on which package you buy.
