Why email newsletters made sense. Email has no character limits, can represent bold and italic, links, titles, enclosures, basically most features of the web, and social media places limits on what writers can write. That's where the literate social web went, and the bloggers too. Like how birds are really dinosaurs.
If you're working on a social web app that supports inbound and outbound RSS, I'd like to help, so our products can interop beautifully. That's the reason I'm doing this work, to establish a baseline for interop in the social web. RSS is the obvious candidate. If we didn't have it, we'd have to invent it. I'd much prefer doing the work openly, so if you can, write a post and send me a link. I think it's time for us to go back to the way we built network systems before Google and the VCs took over. Put up an app and see who works with it. My email address is on the About page on my blog.
Programming tip. If your app has globals, create an object called globals, and put all of them in there. Someday you may want to swap in one set of globals for another, this makes it easy.

A question came up recently in the Perl community asking whether, in a Mojolicious application, it’s better to use DBIx::Class or a Mojolicious-specific module like Mojo::Pg. It’s an interesting question, but I think it’s asking the wrong thing. I’ve spent almost forty years moving up the stack of database abstractions. Every few years, someone invents […]
The post Choosing the Right Database Abstraction first appeared on Perl Hacks.

It was three goes for a token on the Flayer, and the kids were screaming as they flew down the blood-slick inflatable slide. Billy emerged from the end, raw and pink and not smiling at all. His mum had told him he might have more fun on the Buccaneer

Claude can understand code no human could. Ever, under any circumstances. Just like a compiler can understand any code we throw at it. Way beyond what code obfuscation tools can do.

Here is a small collection of photos I took today. I made it a point to take the camera with me (with a 50mm lens) and just shoot things that caught my eye.
In our work we have arrived at the point where we read and study a piece I published in 1997, but was written in 1988 or so. Esp the part about LBBS. It's a really good thing I wrote that because I forgot how it worked, but reading that it all comes back. We're going to go far beyond where Twitter went with reading message structures on the web. I had already done a lot of the work in the 80s.
