It was then when I realised why inline regexes might seem neat, but are actually are a horrible idea — that is precisely why they were implemented so awkwardly in Python — to make them seem more like functions and be named and documented accordingly…
Ever since then I never had the incentive to touch Perl again 😄

@gemlog
Indeed, there are ways to keep Perl code maintainable, but when everyone is stressed out, when you're under peer-pressure to have a quick'n'dirty fix pass the code review because other people depend on it… I know that in real world these things would happen — this was a rather harsh eye-opener — it was then when I was seeing hashes passed as parameters grow indefinitely.

@gemlog
Yep! Early in my career I was like many on Fedi — hated the idea of programming language forcing coding style on me, having wrote some Perl and having near no experience in Python, I've seen a well-maintained framework in Perl turn into an absolute mess when being actively worked on by a team under a time constraint.

What happened to roboneko? 🤔
Indeed, I haven't seen any new posts around in a while…

Link changing isn't such a bit problem, were it not for the most of them not supporting starting transmission at a particular position, making resuming impossible 😩

One can also guess the timezone from the most active hours, that is why I don't stick to the sleep schedule 🤓

Damn! Perl isn't a part of the base system? I should definitely give FreeBSD another shot! 😁

Yep, not direct ones anyway, but nausea and headaches can be sympthoms of high blood pressure, which in turn might be the result of body fighting viral infection. COVID is still widespread, whence my concerns.
But you're right, can be anything.

Sparse files are a cool feature, it's when currently absent data doesn't occupy real disk space, it's very useful with things like VM disk images — which might have bigger size than what they currently use, this space remains "reserved" — if you copy such a file to a filesystem not supporting sparse files, it starts using all this disk space: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_f

@romin
Sadly, no, I usually don't use cases, unless they come with a phone, the one that came with my current phone was too ugly, but the phone itself is bulky/heavy, I was afraid it might split in two if I drop it, so I got one of those "tough" cases — it didn't come with animal ears and wasn't so tough against rubbing alcohol, so it nearly came apart already — but as the phone isn't new and now I'm not worried about it, buy I might still need a new case, I might as well get one with ears 😹

What's up with all the 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 stuff, are you all @𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴ans now? 🤔
Am I missing out on something important or is it another passing fad just like those cigarettes were?
