Such sad news! Condolences to his family, friends and thousands of admirers worldwide. One way to commemorate his life is to donate to the charityware cause he championed: https://www.iccf-holland.org

Nice. Coincidentally, I saw a talk about Jupyter @ FOSDEM earlier this year, this time with Perl 6 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSZV8IXIsM4 ). I had no knowledge of it prior to that point, and I really should come up wit

Likewise, I had a brief conversation with the fascinating Dr Lewis Dartnell where we discussed the origin of barley farming. Did our ancestors grow it for food, and accidentally discover that you can also make beer with it, or did the beer

It was a decision made by Larry Wall alone.Since it’s his language, he’s allowed to do that.

Since they appear to plan on running an uber/lyft style service with self-driving tech, and they believe that their tech is especially likely to give them an advantage in that business, that would be one big reason.

Surely this is to stop Uber, Lyft etc from buying a fleet of the things for their business use, rather than targeting individual drivers specifically (though they're happy to stop that too).

This is a response from an old friend of mine: http://imgur.com/a/4MSRr I think it's fair to say that both of us believe that women ought to have their own place to comb their hair, fix their lipstick and gossip a

Poor Grim_Reaper. Nothing to do all day but post complaints in a Perl 6 thread. I hope you can find some sort of purpose in life, friend.

That's pretty much the intention. I have heard Larry Wall say that Camelia was created to appeal to 7 year old girls. I didn't hear him go into any complicated discussions regarding masculinity/femininity or any of that jazz.

This is only too true, and I have no doubt that this behaviour has deeply discouraged people looking for a bit of help to get them up the learning curve.

Python and Java are moving targets as well. Adoption of Python 3 in particular has been very slow. Who told you that any language is an 'island of stability'? Use C if you want something approaching that. :-)

I've started picking up amazon deliveries at local shops (Collect+). This is working out rather well - no need for special lockbox or a supersize ring o' keys.

I doubt he was jealous so much as annoyed at the way he was portrayed in the Jobs film. I was annoyed at how he was portrayed myself, and I don't have any particular axe to grind. I also seriously doubt the validity of your statements
