Programmers aren’t so humble anymore, maybe because nobody codes in Perl

Perl was once everywhere. Or at least it felt that way. Around the turn of the millennium, it seemed that almost every website was built on the back of this scripting language. It processed massive amounts of text—mechanisms for doing this powerfully and easily were part of the language—and it was even used in bioinformatics, munging and churning through genetic data.

It’s Been 25 Years Since Tobey Maguire Was Cast in ‘Spider-Man’

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-12-20 03:30:24

The Sam Raimi Spider-Man films serve as the blueprint for many superhero movies that have sprung from comic book pages and onto the big screen in the last quarter-century. The spectacle, action, and hero’s journey of one Peter Parker captivated audiences, thanks in part to the stellar casting of Tobey Maguire as the Marvel icon.

Shifting sands have once again revealed mysterious petroglyphs on the shores of a remote group of islands. The carvings appear and disappear depending on the water current, sometimes remaining hidden for years at a time before returning like a divine omen. But they’re not (as far as we know) an auspice, and this isn’t a fantasy movie. The petroglyphs are carved in sandstone along a beach on Oahu’s west coast, in front of a U.S. Army recreation center, and could be over 1,000 years old, as first
