Re: Expiry and revive of my blog: Some early learning of 2020

Yes. absolutely. I am loving this way of working. All the code is on GitHub with version history. so its great.
On the other hand, if i recall I started blog back in 2007 so that time WordPress helped me to get started. So I think for beginner or may be dynamic site WordPress or WIX can be good option but for techies git + markdown is the way to go ...

Cheers!
Thanks for visiting!

This is why I don’t like Wordpress. One needs to be a programmer to retrieve n play with the stuff. For us, the convenience of markdown file is unbeatable

Re: Date print formats Perl Date::Manip

I think you're wrong. Date::Manip is a huge, complicated module with a confusing interface. You're almost far better off using DateTime and its many friends.

"Changing "$_" in "grep" or "map" will change the original list. This isn't generally a good idea..."

But IFF you Know What You Are Doing and you INSIST on modifying $_ anyway, please, please, PLEASE, put a comment in explaining exactly what is going on.

On the rare occasions that I do use $_-setting-side-effects, that's what I do.

your editor eats back-slashes (as in grep /\S/ )

Nice tutorial, but one comment.

You have:
@non_blank_lines = grep /S/, @lines;
but, if you're looking for blank lines, I guess you really meant:
@non_blank_lines = grep /\S/, @lines;

Re: Implementing mapper attachment in elasticsearch

Hi Pradeep.. thanks for the post.
By any chance, do you know how to do the same with NEST API. Lately I have been searching a lot on Google for a good example using NEST. It would be a great help if you have one like that.

TIA :)

Firstly great post. I worked like a charm. I have been looking around the internet for quite some time before stumble into this page.

By any chance, do you know how to do the same with Java API. I managed to index the file(I hope I did, atleast indexed document appear to be similar to this method) but the search query are not returning anything from that index.

Any help would be helpful.

Re: Head First book Perl

With age, learning becomes very difficult. With Head First, it is sweep stake. I am trying learn by reading books...but I can only chew few pages...

I expect to get that book soon.

I've been asked to do a Head First Perl book, but I judged it to be too much work. Also, from the Head First books I've seen, I've not been impressed with the content or the content density. There's a lot of paper in those book.

To start, you have to audition to be selected to write the book. Not only do you have to know the subject area, but you have to create a story to go with it.

Almost everything you see in a Head First book is created by the author. You'll spend a lot of time doing things not related to Perl. I think that directly relates to why the content so far has not impressed me; the authors are distracted by other concerns for the book.

Since I already have plenty to do with Perl writing, I haven't pursued it.

I'd buy a HF Perl book if it came out. I love that line of books.
