This year I helped organise #lpw2025, and I'm glad I did. I wrote down some of my thoughts about the experience: https://pinguinorodriguez.cl/blog/lpw2025/
London Perl & Raku Workshop 2025

My thoughts on this version of the London Perl & Raku Workshop

JJA

I'm really sad that I was not able to make it to #tprc in the US this year. My apologies to the organising team for having to pull my talk at the last minute, and to the attendees that we're looking forward to hearing it. Unfortunately, it could not be helped.

And thank you for the chance to share my #Perl work. That really means the world.

I'm sure the conference will be a success regardless, and that there will be other chances in the future. Have fun, everyone!

@rrwo Say there's a system that consistently uses `hash` for non-hash-based IDs.

Say there's a function that needs to calculate a hash of one of those IDs. Contrived maybe, but clear at least.

A bad-but-consistent name would be something like `hash_hash`, or something along those lines.

A good-but-inconsistent name would be something like `hash_id`, or again something similar.

Which one is less bad? Not looking for a gotcha, by the way. This is a sincere question

@rrwo How about consistent badly-named things and inconsistent well-named things?

Usability fail: the command to edit the crontab (crontab -e) is one slightly misplaced finger away from the command to delete your crontab (crontab -r)

They're Right. Next. To. Each. Other... 😑

On my way to #lpw2024 to talk about #opentelemetry and #perl.

I'm so happy to be back after all these years!

I really appreciate today’s #PerlAdventCalendar by @jjatria: https://perladvent.org/2023/2023-12-24.html

On this #ChristmasEve, maybe the #Perl kids and the #Kotlin kids and the #Ruby kids and the #Java kids and the #Python kids and the #RakuLang kids and the #GoLang kids and the #Rust kids and the #PHP kids and the #JavaScript kids and the #Csharp kids and all the other kids I can’t fit into a #Mastodon character limit can all play and have fun with each others’ toys.

Peace on Earth, y’all. 🎁

Goth pickup line: the best thing about ennui is that u and i are together.
Using this tool the first practical #Perl extension on CPAN (possibly anywhere?) written in #Rust that I am aware of is Memcached::RateLimit. #FFI #RustLang #Memcached
https://metacpan.org/pod/Memcached::RateLimit
Memcached::RateLimit - Sliding window rate limiting with Memcached - metacpan.org

Sliding window rate limiting with Memcached

@gbxyz @rrwo I think in that case you can get in touch with the PAUSE admins. They might ask for proof of attempted contacts.

That said, one never actually done that myself, but I hope it works! 🤞
