It is funny to see Python in an example of 'good' variable scoping. How exactly would you refer to the outer 'a' in that python example?

Yeah, the list seems impressive until you assemble a list of non-signatories.

Doesn't appear to be Linux only at all.

Maybe they can fix MariaDB to use something other than ucontext (which is no longer part of POSIX) or i386/x86-64 only asssembly for co-routines.

But they probably won't since this is Google, and it "works just fine on Linux"

Funny how this project with the BSD license is so anti-BSD (yeah, BSD users are 'busybox-envious', amongst other things). Fails to notice the presence of a large number of BSD-licensed userland tools, in the BSDs, while denigrating as many similar projects as possible (linking to inaccurate, flame-bait anti-Perl articles as a bonus).

Now, where's the UnixWorld archive?

$ checkbashisms ./rfc possible bashism in ./rfc line 74 (should be 'b = a'): if [ "$COMMIT" == "$new_commit" ]; then

$ checkbashisms install.sh possible bashism in install.sh line 3 ('function' is useless): function __install_rfc() { possible bashism in install.sh line 49 (unsafe echo with backslash): echo "\n# Added by 'rfc' installer\nexport PATH=\$PATH:\$HOME/bin" \

but above and beyond that, it requires GNU grep (uses GNU extension --excludes) to run the script itself

a bit off topic, i really wish Perl CMSes would stop dropping Postgres support in favour of a MySQL only strategy (Movable Type and WebGUI [Plain Black], this means you). You'd think DBI did not exist or that this was really PHP.

"And, developer-friendly features make it incredibly easy to transform your existing, normalized schemas into liberated JSON ones!" Ugh

I love PostgreSQL, but now it seems infected with a strain of this NoSQL bullsh!t. The quote from the MongoDB documentation is telling, because it is junk, as is this 'liberation' of schema. PostgreSQL is sufficiently flexible and powerful to not need this abrogation of proper design to succeed, except in some imagined competition with 'noSQL' solutions.

What about other web servers that have FastCGI support?

Doesn't matter, only supports Ruby on Rails.

Might care when it supports stuff I actually use, like Heroku does.

It is possible to substitute Pg, since it has PL/v8 and JSON types, so the 'one language for the whole stack' is satisfied.

Pity I nooted my tablet last month, as soon as it had gone out of warranty.

Been doing this with RCS for decades.

If it looked vaguely like NT with a Windows 95 look, it probably was NT 4, as 3.51 only had the Windows 95 shell with the Shell Technology Preview, otherwise it ran Program Manager/File Manager.

Or just use vi mode 'set -o vi' in sh, 'set editing-mode vi' in ~/.inputrc for bash and other readline clients.

s/KDE/CDE/ ?

Perl regexes are PCRE-like, PCRE regexes are Perl-like, they are not the same.

That definitely seems to be the way people are defining it these days, sadly.

Most South African ISPs do that already, you just noticed it less. They stick transparent caching proxies in front of HTTP[s]/FTP

Not quite, it got MySQL support.

'set -o vi' is more likely to something that isn't bound up tight with readline, like /bin/sh

Or you could have used a domain with a validator written in PL/somelanguage as constraint

Yes it should have. You could still run into problems as PCRE regexes are not quite the same as Perl regexes. Why not just check for and use pcregrep?

Yeah, just use pcregrep

Which is, of course, just CGI.pm's html functions again.

bash is the problem, the solution to this madness is to not use bash.
