Important to note that postfix dereferencing is experimental, and does not replace the existing method of dereferencing. Also, I think the deprecation of core CGI.pm is pretty major. For now it just issues a deprecation warning, but will be

I totally agree about the private repo thing. In fact I emailed them and they added to their Feature Request List™ I suggest you email <support@github.com> to let them know more than one person would like the feature :)

In case it's not clear, this is a development version along the road to the stable 5.18 release, expected in May 2013. The Perl core team are getting very good at timeboxing their development and releasing on time.

Incidentally 86% of Dutch people speak English, from my experience that is higher in coastal / docklands areas. Also an iPod shuffle is $49. I thought it was a nice gesture.

I don't know how long ago you paid for it, but I paid £35 for my license 3 years and 1 day ago (August 8th, 2009) 3 years of use from a product, plus we now have the almost-guaranteed support and speedier development because of it's Open So

It doesn't appear to be a code-dump to GitHub, which would be indicative of fading interest on behalf of the original developer. The ReadMe, build process, and licensing instructions all point towards this being a well planned Open Sourcing

Apple haven't announced which machines will be compatible with the released version of Mountain Lion, so it's premature to say that Apple are "blocking" it. "Blocking" is also different to "Not Supporting" Minimum specs have changed between

The problem is its overuse, not it's qualities as a typeface. Comic Sans is not a bad typeface, it was merely overused and became a cliche. Lobster is well down that same path.

Official support for WebSockets and SPDY in nginx is big news. WebSocket support especially, as previously it was impossible to do long-polling / WebSocket type work in nginx without resorting to unreliable 3rd party modules.

Now, this could be easily solved – by adding the friggin semicolon. What this furore misses is that the original issue (JSMin failing to minify bootstrap-dropdown.js) was already fixed when the bug was raised [1]. Fixed without ad

That would be very useful. I struggled to find references to back up my statement, as the jQuery docs for .ajax() only has a vague "other methods may not be supported in all browsers" - with no further details. A simple table showing browse
