  A Regular Question

  This weeks perl weekly challenge had a pretty straightforward question: take a string and split it when the characters change. That's a fairly straightforward regex issue:

  perl -pE's/(.) \g1*/$& /gx'
  

  Here we mat…

  This week's perl weekly challenge was a lot of fun. First of all, challenge number 2 was a breeze. The challenge was to parse and print the components of a URL. That was easy...

  In all honesty, it was intuition. I tried it out with a couple of values, and it seemed to confirm the square root idea. Perhaps I'll be able to mathematically prove it one day. This week's ackermann question is pretty...

• Posted Pizza Party for 100 to Veesh

  Hi all, this is my first blog post! Yay!

  Now that that's out of the way, I'd just like to go over my solution for this week's Perl weekly challenge.

  The first challenge was to divide a pie between 100 people, in a manner where the first guest gets 1/100 (i.e. 1%) of the pie, and th…

• philip r brenan commented on A dream realized

  The opening comments argue that because some people have worked in this area for some time then their "authority" is enough to make the claim that Corinna is valuable. But this is a well known fallacy:

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority

  If these people have genuine authority gained from years of hard experience in this field then they will be able to tell us in a few cogent words why Corinna is so much better than Moose and all the other OO systems available on CPAN. They will be able to…

• Damian Conway commented on A dream realized

  I'm a little confused, Philip. You ask me to rewrite the article so that you can "know the compelling reasons why Corinna is so good"...but the article already contains at least six of those:

• More concise syntax (therefore more readable)
• More declarative syntax (therefore less boilerplate implementation code required)
• Less prone to bugs (because more concise and more declarative)
• Better performance for most method calls
• Compile-time checking for at least one common type of error
• Built right into the language, so no need to rely on external modules …
