Signe extèrieur de geekitude

Ça va faire 5 mois que je n'ai plus de smartphone.
(Non en fait ça fait 5 mois que je n'ai plus de téléphone, de carte d'identité, de permis de conduire et de carte visa, mais c'est une autre histoire)

Je n'ai plus qu'un vieux portable (pas de desktops), 13" (pas de doubles écrans) plus d'imprimante, de scanner...

Et vous savez quoi ? Je m'en passe bien, j'ai découvert que j'ai"besoin" de peu.

Le problème c'est qu'on ne change pas sa nature :  "Geek un jour, geek toujours"

Tout ça pour dire que je ne suis pas aidé; j'avais fort raisonnablement décidé d'acheter un téléphone qui ne fait que ça (pas d'écran tactile, pas de haute résolution, pas d'appareil photo, pas de gps...) quand la voix de la tentation me susurre à l'oreille (par la bouche de ma femme) : Arrêtes tes bêtises il te faut un vrai téléphone, tu veux pas plutôt un Galaxy S II ?

Que voulez vous que je réponde ?

Risquer mon mariage pour défendre le bon sens.
En plus un Galaxy S II, un joyaux de technologie sous Android (presque libre quoi) ça va être difficile d'argumenter.

Et puis le Geek est faible...

Bref je suis possesseur d'un Galaxy S II.
Merci Didine.

Change your Gogs admin password

I might have missed something, but I haven't found any simple way to change my admin password (with emailing not active) in gogs. It was quite easy to find the hash location, but as I didn't know how it was generated... Luckily I eventually found the parameters used, so here it is for you if you need them embedded in a script : var pbkdf2 = require('pbkdf2-sha256'); var key = 'YourChosenPasword'; var salt = 'AnyRandomValue'; var hash = pbkdf2(key, salt, 10000, 50); console.log(hash.toString('hex')); All I had to do was then to update the table user , setting passwd to the generated value (and updating salt with the value used in the script).

What is the average salary for Perl programmers in 2020?

Original article published  my new blog   blog.assad.fr If I have no definitive answer on this, the  Business Insider  has some insights: HackerRank polled 116000 developers about their salaries and got interesting results: Perl is associated with an average global salary of $84,025.50 (54.2% higher than the global average salary) Scala is associated with an average global salary of $77,159.60 Go is associated with an average global salary of $72,691.30 Python is associated with an average global salary of $56,670.90 JavaScript is associated with an average global salary of $55,690 Without more information about the polled panel it's hard to state this results as “Truth” but they seems to confirm personal beliefs: The salary is more linked to the scarsity of resources than to the trendyness of the associated technology. Perl resources are less and less available. You know what ? It's good to be a Perl programmer :-)

JavaScript for Perl lovers.

Article originally published on  Hello.js This time I feel really qualified to write this article because believe me, I love Perl ! I think in Perl, I dream in Perl, and I really appreciate the whole Perl community. I’ve been in love with this language for more than a decade but I decided that I needed a change. I’ve already said in a previous article why I chose to learn JavaScript this year (instead of getting involved in Perl 6 for example) but let me tell you why you might also enjoy learning JavaScript if you love Perl. Perl developers form a very unified community that all too often, resist outside influences, but learning a second language like JavaScript can really be a very enlightening experience. It’s expressive  JavaScript, like Perl, is an expressive language. You get your work done with just a few lines of code. When talking about programming languages, I really like the tent analogy: In a tent, you have functional things (tent fabrics) whose purpose is to provi
