Tonight I'm busy writing an exam for my Extreme #Weather class tomorrow afternoon, and I decided to use Friday's (11/11) forecast weather map for a couple of questions. With a tropical system & heavy rainfall in FL, and a big cyclone and a strong cold front in the Midwest, there's lots to choose from!
Every now and then, friends & colleagues give me the side-eye about still using #perl... "Why don't you switch to #python?"
Well: "If the language does what you need it to do, and you're not waiting around for it to do its part, that's all that ultimately matters." — Dave Plummer (Retired MS engineer; Dave’s Garage on YT)
It's not all exam writing though; there's also recreational #coding going on! Decoding some #json (in #perl) to create a no frills, no ads, simple text page of live sports scores. (Thanks to NatStat for the #data.)
