From doomvox at gmail.com Thu May 7 21:34:44 2026 From: doomvox at gmail.com (Joseph Brenner) Date: Thu, 7 May 2026 21:34:44 -0700 Subject: [sf-perl] The SF Perl Raku Study Group, 05/10 at 1pm PDT Message-ID: About the computer desktop screen, from "Otaku: Japan's Database Animals" (2001) by Hiroki Azuma: "... such a hyperflat world provokes a paradox, in which one cannot help pursuing the invisible _precisely because_ the invisible is turned into the visible and lined up on the same plane one after another." "... at this point another kind of desire emerges: the desire to tranform as many invisibles as possible into visibles, without arriving at the agency at the final level, and to extract as many simulacra as possible from the database." The Raku Study Group Sunday May 10, 2026 1pm in California, 9pm in the UK An informal meeting: drop by when you can, show us what you've got, ask and answer questions, or just listen and lurk. Perl and programming in general are fair game, along with Raku, Zoom meeting link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81884518495?pwd=r0sPB9kTd2MaXcgzBXuafFTaTat1WX.1 Passcode: 4RakuRoll Information about upcoming meetings can always be found here: https://github.com/doomvox/raku-study/blob/main/README.md -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
