  If you use X, there is a better solution: the Compose key. Since it is a basic X feature, it works in any place where you type text, not just Emacs. You get a huge number of predefined shortcuts, so...

• Commented on Using Minion with a REST API
  That's not REST. I immediately noticed several huge code/design smells:Authentication is tunnelled through the body. Remedy: use a standard authentication scheme that works with HTTP headers or TLS. Status is tunnelled through the body. Remedy: return the appropriate 4xx header...
• Commented on Stop Putting AUTO_INCREMENT IDs in URLs
  I don't like that french-bread example counter-measure. It still leaks information and only adds the requirement of human imagination to guess and find out neighbouring pages. Best practice: use random IDs instead of autoincrement. In PostgreSQL, you should use uuid_generate_v4()....

• Aaron Baugher commented on Using Unicode in Emacs for Perl 6

  Very nice, thanks. I just mapped my caps-lock key to be the Compose key with:

  setxkbmap -option compose:caps

  and also put it in the keyboard section of my xorg.conf for future runs of X:

  Option "XkbOptions" "compose:caps"

  @fmtyew.tk, I mostly don't disagree with what you said except for one thing. You're comparing Perl 5 to JavaScript. I have no intention of leaving Perl 5. But the point of this discussion is that Javacript seems to have more to offer than Perl 6, especially from a business perspective. I hope that Perl 6 gets there, but without discussion it likely won't.

• Tom M commented on Christmas Came, Bah Humbug

  the average JS programmer produces worse results than the average programmer from any other dynamic language (e.g. Ruby or Perl)

  But there are many more JS programmers around. I expect the ratio in Perl was similar a decade ago.

  I don't disagree with your list of points about NPM and related ecosystem, but many of those apply just as much to Perl modules. I would suggest that comparing Catalyst to Express is bizarre, though - the latter is closer to something like Web::Simple.

  We have reviews, yes - not many of them, and lots of politics in the ones …

  Dear JT,

  I think you missed the point. Perl 6 is here so that there will be Perl jobs even in 30-40 Years.

  Thanks good example.

  comments:
  You used modern Perl with the latest version of Perl(v5.20) and also used the subroutine signature. Two suggestions:
  1. To make code consistent in style, please use subroutine signatures in under anynonymous subroutine as well.
  2. Since you are using modern perl, it would be nice if you use Try::Tiny instead of eval block.
