in thread Impress your children with Perl

I meant to say that we can't reliably check all (subtle) edits to a post.

Even if the authors are reliable, their accounts could be hacked, especially after them being inactive for a decade.

That's why such links should better point to immutable posts, like from anonymous monks.

    For safety, I disabled Len's login and mangled his pw recovery email. He hasn't been here in years, and is probably unlikely to return, but if he does, we can easily reenable his login, and advise him not to mess with spiraling quine. :-)

      Sounds complicated, I would just have reposted it as AnoMonk to make it immutable and change the URL.

       perl -MHTTP::Tiny -e 'eval HTTP::Tiny->new->get(shift)->{content}' https://perlmonks.org/?abspart=1;displaytype=displaycode;node_id=11159651;part=2

      If there was a market for such a feature I'd invest into our own internal URL shortening "service".

      #!/usr/bin/perl $_=' $q ="\ 47"; wh ile ($ ;= $z += .5 ){ %c= $r=0;$/ ="";whi le(2 0+ $z>($;+=.05)){$c{int$ _+ 2 6+ 2*($ r+= .0 2) * s in$ ;}{1 -$_ +1 0+ int $r*c o s $ ;} =1for(0. .1) }$ t =r ever se;$ /. =` c le ar `.
