Data Munging With Perl [2ed]: Techniques for data recognition, parsing, transformation and filtering https://leanpub.com/datamungingwithperl by Dave Cross is the featured book on the Leanpub homepage! https://leanpub.com #Perl #DataStructures #SoftwareEngineering #books #ebooks

I am in urgent job search mode, so I'm gonna throw this out here and see if anything comes of it.

I am a #Canadian, fluent in both #English and #French. I have experience with several programming languages. My strongest proficiency is with #Haskell and #C. I also have a reasonable grasp of #HTML, #JavaScript, #SQL, #Python, #Lua, #Linux system administration, #bash scripting, #Perl, #AWK, some #Lisp (common, scheme, and emacs), and probably several others I've forgotten to mention.

I am not necessarily looking for something in tech. I just need something stable. I have done everything from software development, to customer support, to factory work, though my current circumstances make in-person work more difficult than remote work. I have been regarded as a hard worker in every job I have ever held.

Yesterday: Deployed #perl db-to-api tool https://metacpan.org/pod/WebAPI::DBIC, once for a project where folks now don’t have the “I don’t write Perl” excuse to contribute, and once against #Mobilizon, cos I just give up with #graphql. Now I have to deal with the it’s db schema instead #programming

perhaps another #lazyweb post but without starting a holy war: what's the state of things with #perl and #raku these days?

Building the Second-Worst ZX Spectrum Emulator in the World with Perl https://lobste.rs/s/hsmn5t #perl

An article from last year’s #Perl Advent Calendar gave me an idea. As is often the case, that idea spawned other ideas. One of those new ideas raised the question: “How do I get all tram lines and tram stops in Hannover, Germany from #OpenStreetMap?”. Here’s my answer to that question, implemented–because reasons–in #Python.

TIL It's entirely possible to make a text-based web browser entirely #Perl, with keyboard shortcuts for navigation

I'm not mature enough to resist the temptation...

Hi, #Today I decided to try to #getfedihired — I've got many years of experience with web development, programming and production (#HTML, #CSS, #Javascript), I can make myself useful in anything on the open-source side of back end, i.e. the #Perl, #Python, #PHP, #MySQL, #Linux kind of area.

I live in #Sydney Australia and would be happy to work in-office, remote or hybrid.

Let me know of any opportunities, or pass this on to anyone else who might know of something? Thanks.

Today I added a special case for a "very special customer" to our Exporter. Already looking forward for the next special case...

But at least I learned something about #Perl DBIC: You can do

`{ select => 'id', { '' => "me.created between $begin and $until", -as => 'is_created'} }`

to get `select me.id, me.created between $begin and $until as is_created`. Notice the empty string as the hash key, which should (according to the docs) be the name of the sql function you want to call, but luckily (or buggingly?) works to my advantage.

Sadness at the passing of Zefram.

One day I'll see about updating an old #perl #ext2 defragmentation script to work on more filesystems... Just for the heck of it. #Coding
