Copy and pasting blocks? That's a red flag right there, remember that next time you're doing it, and think how you could do it without the copy and pasting

Could be that I've just not noticed it.
It did take a bit of getting used to though, but not that much, only a day or so.
Anyway, I used to have an old mechanical keyboard. Sure it made a nice click, but that's about it, I don't really get the whole "mechanical keyboards are the best" thing
I don't know, maybe I'm wrong and I've just never seen it.
Either way, it's not on and it needs to stop
Now I am not involved with IE at all, but i think it's safe to assume that they are most likely using new APIs which are specific to that platform.
Now that's not an excuse, as they could write in fallbacks for platforms that don't have this, but it's definitely a valid reason.
it's a reason, but it's not a valid one. if it was then no one would write software that works on older windows versions.
Chrome has it right, it's always the latest version, and firefox is better than it used to be, but even then they didn't say "sorry, you need the latest windows to use this version, here, have this 4 year old version instead"
It's ridiculous, and I can't think of one valid technical reason for it
It's a shame though, because the new IE isn't so bad, but while I have to develop for IE8 it's as good as useless :(
This is the way I see it. Perl5 is still being actively developed, perl6 is coming along nicely, cpan more awesome than ever, and there's still work for a perl dev.
If everyone was using the same language, then we'd all suffer because no one would be getting the new ideas.
Competition keeps things healthy.
pick something, work on it, find work doing it and get paid the most.
if the work goes away and you need to pick a new field, then what you've learned isn't wasted, you'll still know how to solve problems, just you won't know the idiosyncrasies or the eco system as well as you did. but you can learn that pretty fast.
point being, learn one thing and stick at it, that way you'll get more money.
why is this site trying to make me lazy?
and if I don't want to finish something, then I won't. I'm not a machine, I want to have some days off, usually not enough.
but when I can, I enjoy spending a whole day on the sofa doing nothing. you should try it, it's nice
The second problem is motivation, after a certain amount of time, it becomes far less fun and much more of a burden, at which point you have to decide if you'll power through, give up, or quit totally.
The rest is just a software/hardware problem, and easily dealt with when needed.
As for the load, it's not that busy, but not that quiet for what it is, (http://stats.thisaintnews.com) and it runs on a cheap server from http://www.kimsufi.com/uk/, has a Xeon(R) CPU E3-1225 V2 @ 3.20GHz, 16Gb ram and 2x 1tb hdd, unlimited bandwidth and 1gbps link. It only costs about £25/month iirc.
no thanks, i'll stick to being an expert (and getting paid accordingly) in one field, and adjust when needed.
you don't get brick layers randomly learning carpet fitting and welding "just incase"
but instead of that i spend a lot of time procrastinating and working like a 1x programmer in 1/10th of the time.
There's no limit on the number of images - it can optimize hundreds quite quickly - 50 is the number of parallel workers you can have"
(i stole this off another of your comments and added filesize after optimise)
i'm not complaining, just suggesting that you should work on your homepage to make that crystal clear, it'll help with people who might want to use it but don't know it yet
same with computer stuff, although then there's a lot of looking at examples as well
