Subject: [Pdx-pm] August meeting next week - rosettacode chrestomathy review
Message-ID: <201208030132.38699.enobacon@gmail.com>

  Thu. August 9th, 6:53pm at at FreeGeek ? 1731 SE 10th Ave.

This month, we'll review some of the Perl 6 examples from 
rosettacode.org -- we can also look at Perl 5 examples and other 
languages for comparison.

Please volunteer to pick an example or two to review.  Just look for 
something with a Perl 6 implementation and be prepared to talk us 
through the problem statement and how the Perl 6 solution works.  If you 
find an unimplemented one and implement it for the meeting, you get a 
mug.

Please add yourself to the agenda here:

  http://pdx.pm.org/kwiki/index.cgi?August2012Meeting

Thanks,
Eric

If it's tonight then I'll not be in attendance as I'll be driving
around the countryside with a stopwatch.

Looks to me like it was added to calagator Friday, August 3, 2012 at
1:37am. However, the actual event is for Thursday, August 9, 2012 from
6:53?8:30pm.

Yes, thanks.  That's human error for you (and me forgetting that 
calagator doesn't assume monthly repeat and adjust the day for you, but 
instead assumes the current date.)

Hi all,

If you're bringing a computer and want to play along, you probably want 
to compile your Perl 6 interpreter now (anybody running niecza? 
https://github.com/sorear/niecza/)

from http://rakudo.org/how-to-get-rakudo/

 sudo aptitude install libicu44 # I guess
 wget https://github.com/downloads/rakudo/star/rakudo-
star-2012.07.tar.gz
 tar -xf rakudo-star-2012.07.tar.gz
 cd rakudo-star-2012.07
 perl Configure.pl --gen-parrot --gen-nqp
 make
 make install
 export PATH=$PWD/install/bin:$PATH
 perl6 -e 'say "Hello {[+] 1..5000}"'

We also realized last night that the debian packages 'libicu-dev' and 
'libreadline5-dev' were required to get unicode and readline support.

 Greetings
Developers,

[image: Mr. Monopoly]Net Neutrality remains a hot issue. In the U.S., the
two presidential candidates have very different opinions on the matter,
with presumptive nominee Mitt Romney a firm
opponent<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1ztqbitnp1496td27nr07u15c9b2iubtbrbsljfng>of
government regulation, and President Obama a strong
supporter<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z29aunh4ke041n13rftc2sdeoh53krrisnf1p508>
.

But does it matter? As we've seen with *SOPA* and *PIPA*, sometimes the
public sits up and takes notice. The crucial question is whether Net
Neutrality strikes that kind of chord.

*What do you think? *Is the public well enough informed to act on Net
Neutrality? Write
code-newsletter at oreilly.com<code-newsletter at oreilly.com?subject=Code+Newsletter+-+Net+Neutrality>with
your thoughts. We're glad to gift all respondents a free O'Reilly
ebook of choice. (An O'Reilly account is needed to receive the free ebook.)

Open Dialog What the Open Source Community Is Talking About

Drill, Baby, Drill
[image: A Very Large Drill Indeed]You won't need to be a dentist to
appreciate the Drill<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zfg3aurctd4mr76cfah7edf831hlvjfhm8ros3fo>that
the folks over at
*MapR* are proposing. They are starting up a massive project to duplicate
Google's ?ber-efficient Dremel data analysis tool.

Vowelless
The NSA has spun off some of their database technologies into a new startup
called Sqrrl<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zdv5hlqoqo48tq97es6480dp420jlnp0l6uj9p6g>.
The vowel-deficient company will offer a commercial version of the secure,
massively capable database known as *Accumulo* (Note: not a Marvel or DC
universe villain), which is itself based on some familiar tech, Google's
BigTable.

Oh, Uncle Walt!
A recent episode of the Disney kid's show *Shake It Up* helped the audience
learn the important lesson of where viruses come from. From downloading
open source software<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1ze0gbjk6j23ui1kk66i4hg0evlrrkjhk1k7ki8gg>,
of course! Stay tuned, kids, for the exciting next episode, when failure to
pay full price for MP3 files causes house fires!

Of the People, By the People
It's evidently old news, just now reported, but worth a read. Apparently,
when it came time for Iceland to revamp their constitution, they simply
crowdsourced it<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zcf5e10q0uue327vn5ruqr9vm858s7j76kmhmg7o>.
Could the U.S. have avoided the whole Civil War by just branching the
constitution?

Catching Air
[image: DIY Airplane]Sure, it's a bummer when an open source software
crashes, but imagine the damage that an open source plane might cause.
Heck, don't imagine it. Do it. You can now download plans to 3D print your
own aircraft<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zto7kqueqo2kcicm26l1t9216b3n3bueq9er1sq8>.
Might want to print a parachute or two while you're at it.

Late to the Dance
But welcome: The
announcement<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z1tk89mc63bkba6cg8aedjrpo4e6i78vcls6pns8>by
Microsoft that upcoming versions of Office will support all the common
open documents has been oft-promised, and this time it seems it's for real.

Pop! The Weekly Quiz There Was Life Before 'Harry'

*J. K. Rowlings* is by no means the first person to write good science
fiction or fantasy for the young adult market (a certain Mr. Heinlein comes
to mind, for one). This week, we're looking for the first book in a YA
series that has, at various times, featured a walking Christmas tree and a
dog who can conjure pocket universes full of squirrels.

Think you've got it? Write
code-newsletter at oreilly.com<code-newsletter at oreilly.com?subject=Code+Newsletter+Pop+Quiz+-+First+book+in+a+YA+Series>with
your answer. The first correct respondent is welcome to a free
O'Reilly ebook of choice.

*[image: Cartoon]LAST WEEK*, the question concerned why some
astrobiologists were less than pleased with an aspect of Curiosity's trip
to Mars.

For the second week in a row, the self-described "world's most complete
sink of worthless knowledge," *Simon MacDonald, *was the first and only
correct respondent.

Simon's "worthless knowledge" this time is that because the wheels of
Curiosity touched down onto the surface directly, scientists worry that
they may not have had time to be properly sterilized by the harsh Martian
sun.
------------------------------
Q'S A'D The Interactive Bit

FOMO
[image: Cliff-Hanging Computing]Last week, we confessed to experiencing a
bit of trepidation when forced to unplug long enough to vacation, a
phenomenon known as Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO). We wondered: Are we alone?

Emphatically not, as legions of you wrote in to confirm or deny the
experience.

"I'm sure it hurts to go without food for a day or three, but many have
done it and survived just fine," writes *Rufus Eves*. "A modest fast from
being constantly connected would likely do us all much good."

New Mexico programmer *Bar Shirtcliff* admits she doesn't spend much time
anywhere that's not "short of breathtakingly beautiful," so no--she's never
bored.

Neither, she suggests, are her fellow hikers. "Certainly nobody on that
narrow ridge between Wheeler Peak and the next peak over, buffeted by 70+
mph winds, has time to reflect on their Twitter stream," Bar says.

*Hobson Lane* once sailed around the world in a boat. He's had enough alone
time, thank you. "Loneliness is in our DNA," he writes. "And it's not just
about missing out on the news. It's about life passing us by--missing out on
the chance to contribute to the collective consciousness."

"Yes, I do suffer from FOMO," confesses *Herb Lainchbury*. "I first noticed
it and its cousin Fear Of Picking Irrelevant Technology (FOPIT) early on in
my career."

*Jeff Ireland* thinks we all look like someting out of *The Matrix*.
"Everyone I see out and about has a slightly tilted head, looking at a
text, an app, an e-mail, Angry Birds, twitter, GPS," he writes. "Everyone's
*connected,* but it's connection via pixels and 140 characters, not solid
interaction. So, I definitely don't have FOMO."

Recently while on vacation, *Sumana Harihareswara* merely concentrated on
"questions like 'how do I
cross this stream via these slippery rocks?' Recommended."

Waxing far less rhapsodically, *John* cuts to a point we all know: "I don't
have a fear of missing out so much as I have anxiety about having to wade
through what piled up," he says. We hear that!
------------------------------
The O'Reilly Animals Open Source and Endangered Species

Work on Stuff That Matters
[image: Elephant!]We have to admit to taking a certain delight in watching
elephants batter a camera placed in the lush Sumatran rain forest. "Go,
elephants," we might even be heard to mutter.

But that camera is important.

As shown in the Eyes on
Leuser<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zumlt28i2einr6poa3skk1htad8cvbdoq8poa20g>video
project, placing a camera out in the wilds to catch the habits of the
forest denizens is important. It's also awful tough on a camera.

The O'Reilly Animals
project<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zv5up9tddml2afjk21u3bti56d2rks48tdleq9q0>highlights
Eyes on Leuser this week so that you might consider how you can
help devise a camera impervious to humidity and elephant's feet or figure
out how to upload video to the cloud half a world away.

tail -f /dev/newsletter All Good Things Must End

Life's Language Writ Really (Really) Small
[image: Bookish DNA]We're all getting used to reading books on tiny
screens. But one Harvard geneticist has taken books to the next level of
minuturization.

*George Church* used new DNA sequencing technology to create a
copy<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z4enmrh15ugvq7t0lngt9god1mams1c7da8bs3og>of
his new book,
*Regenesis: How Synthetic Biology Will Reinvent Nature and Ourselves, *encoded
in DNA. Then he made 70 billion copies.

Although human reviewers have been a bit reserved in their comments on the
new book, microbial reaction has been very positive. "Finally, a book small
enough for me to read comfortably," gushed E. Coli. "A real base-pair
turner," exclaimed S. Pneumoniae. "And I've already incorporated some of
the genome into a new super-bacteria version of myself."
 In this Issue:

   - Net-Net: You Feeling Neutral?
   - Dremel Data Drill is Everywhere
   - Life Before 'Harry' - The Weekly Quiz
   - FOMO Explicated

Howdy folks,

Does anybody have recommendations about where I can host a 1U server
on the cheap in PDX?

Thanks!

Duke

Subject: [Pdx-pm] h2xs not + Pod::Weaver -- in two weeks | September 13th
	meeting
Message-ID: <201208292313.45084.enobacon@gmail.com>

 Thu. September 13th, 6:53pm at at FreeGeek ? 1731 SE 10th Ave.

speaker: Ian Dees + Joshua Keroes

+++++++
 Ian will cover what it's like for n00bs learning how to create a new 
Perl module, including: 

 * Where rookies look for "Getting Started" information
 * Which tools we can readily find for the job
 * What kinds of questions we have about namespaces

What Ian would like to do to help:

 * Listen to your answers
 * Format them into some kind of guide (or supplement an existing one)
 * Hand it to a Perl expert to post in the right place
 * Commit to checking in a couple of times a year to keep it current

You will be vastly enlightened, or horrified.


+++++++
Joshua will continue down the Dist::Zilla path of Automated 
Enlightenment and speak on Pod::Weaver.

 In July, Duke Leto gave Portland an introduction to Dist::Zilla, 
demonstrating how it can help write, package, test, and release your 
modules; automating the boring stuff like figuring out prerequisites, 
automatically inserting and updating $VERSION's, getting rid of all 
those meta files and generating them automatically; all good ways to 
focus on the important stuff: the code.

 This month, Joshua will show how Pod::Weaver can help automate the 
boring parts of writing documentation so you can avoid getting bogged 
down by boilerplate and focus on the important stuff there: the docs. 

As usual, the meeting will be followed by social hour at the Lucky Lab 
Brew Pub.  O/''\O

Hi all,

Regarding this topic, I found this guide, which appears to be very 
factual,
and modern:

http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=879515 ("RFC: How to Release Modules
on CPAN in 2011").

I have placed more information about CPAN and writing modules and 
packages here
and here:

* http://perl-begin.org/topics/cpan/

* http://perl-begin.org/topics/modules-and-packages/

Sorry for having to miss the talks, but I hope slides or notes will be 
made
available online.

Regards,

	Shlomi Fish
