The Bureau of Meteorology's new site is doing great

  1. The feedback window decided to annoy me by popping up by itself.

  2. I figured I might as well complain about the weather radar taking more clicks to access the information I want.

  3. The feedback window broke because the BOM site now relies on scripts from Google's reCAPTCHA service which my browser blocks by default. Yes, I know this is mostly on me, but it was just the icing on the cake.

93% of Paint Splatters are Valid Perl Programs | Colin McMillen

In this paper, we aim to answer a long-standing open problem in the programming languages community: is it possible to smear paint on the wall without creating valid Perl?

We answer this question in the affirmative: it is possible to smear paint on the wall without creating a valid Perl program. We employ an empirical approach, using optical character recognition (OCR) software, which finds that merely 93% of paint splatters parse as valid Perl. We analyze the properties of paint-splatter Perl programs, and present seven examples of paint splatters which are not valid Perl programs.
