In fact, that data will immediately go to your remote account. While the general concept and even the naming system implies that these services are used to spy rather than monitor, the truth is otherwise. 5. Keylogging: With this feature you can find out about the key being pressed on the target phone, so you will be able to find out their Instagram password and then hack someone Instagram whenever you want ..read more

Sometimes you want to optionally use a module in your code: if it's available, then load it, but if not, you can still proceed. I had to do this recently, and used one of the common approaches, but have been thinking it would be nice if this were easier to do ..read more

As most of you are probably aware, Kent Fredric sadly passed away earlier this year: notice from his family, on Facebook.
Kent was a prolific contributor to CPAN and Perl. He released more than 150 distributions of his own to CPAN, but also helped countless other authors and distributions, with bug reports, puil requests, and more.
When a CPAN author dies, their indexing permissions are dropped from PAUSE, and where they had the first-come permission, that will be passed to the pseudo-user ADOPTME. This flags the distribution as being available for adoption.
So as of now, all of Kent's distrib ..read more

CPAN was launched in 1995, so Perl developers have been sharing their code with each other for more than 25 years. In this post I'll share various charts that show how releases to CPAN have waxed and waned. I previously did a CPAN Report 2013, which as you'll see below, was when many measures were at or near their peak ..read more

I made a framing saw from a kit at a Lee Valley workshop, and it was fabulous. It's great as a coping saw, cutting curves, but the thin blade makes it hard to cut a straight line.
So I made another one on my own, using a chunk of bandsaw blade, and this was better for straight cuts. But trying to resaw a 1" thick boards into two 1/2" inch boards was impossible. The cut would wander all over the place. I would practically wind up with veneer.
I saw a number of articles and YouTube videos about making a re-sawing saw, and I decided to make one. But I'm not keen on kits. For one thing I'm sting ..read more

Back in mid-November 2020, I noticed that Hackage (the Haskell package repository) probably has roughly the same daily upload rate as CPAN, or even higher.
Since the Hackage API does not provide a way to list releases (uploads), I had to download the recent additions page periodically, parse each page, and merge the results into a single large list. Because I have just collected the recent additions page since mid-November, I'm looking at December 2020 period.
