From rkingperl at sharpsaw.org Sun May 5 20:00:17 2013 From: rkingperl at sharpsaw.org (=?UTF-8?B?4piIa2luZw==?=) Date: Sun, 05 May 2013 22:00:17 -0500 Subject: A Place to Stay Message-ID: <51871CC1.5070904@sharpsaw.org> Hi all. I live in Buda, TX, and will have a 4 bedroom house mostly-empty (except for a few who've already expressed interest in staying). I'll have a minivan for transportation to/from the conference, and extra parking in case someone wants to rent a vehicle. Feel free to contact me on this list, on a private email, on IRC as rking @ Freenode, or at 806-368-2965. -? From admin at yapcna.org Tue May 7 09:52:04 2013 From: admin at yapcna.org (YAPC NA) Date: Tue, 7 May 2013 09:52:04 -0700 Subject: available now: YAPC Austin dorm registration Message-ID: The link to register for the on-campus dorms at the University of Texas is now live: https://utdirect.utexas.edu/apps/dhfs/conf/nlogon/register/?s_pgm_nbr=HF121301643000 The price is $70/night if you don't want/find a roommate, or $35/night each person if you do. Each of you simply supplies the other person's name in your registration form to register as roommates. They are configured to accept reservations for arrival on Sunday June 2, and check-out on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. However, you might be able to arrange an earlier arrival if you contact the email mentioned on the form. Each room either has its own bathroom or shares a larger bathroom with one other room. The dorms are "co-ed" and air-conditioned. There are dining facilities within or attached to the buildings, and they are a short walk from the conference venue. Search UT Austin Jester Hall for more information. There is a shuttle from/to the airport to/from the campus every 30 minutes for $1, running from at least 8 am until 11 pm every day. Search austin capmetro airport shuttle for more information. Payment is due at time of registration, and is refundable, but with a $50 cancellation fee. They said there are "beds" for 58 available, which I conservatively suspect means there are 29 rooms reserved for us. This link shows how many have registered under our group: https://utdirect.utexas.edu/apps/dhfs/conf/nlogon/ We regret the late availability and notice of this information, and hope it's not too late for you to get your expenses approved and travel arrangements made. FYI: latest conference registration graphic: http://i.imgur.com/thGPMKb.png More information forthcoming about the arrival dinner and other things needing your attention and possibly needing your reaction. See you there! -YAPC::NA 2013 Austin PS. I'll update the yapcna.org website with this information soon.

Enable Flash; we know you want to!) Located at The Lake Austin Dam, The Hula Hut is a unique Austin experience and worth the short drive out of downtown to get to it. We'll have our own area with its own alcohol bar for quick refills. Alcohol is on your own dime. Fountain drinks are $3 with free refills. Due to the size of previous arrival dinners, we had to get a buffet style dinner for this. $23 dollars gets you a Fajita Bar, including Hula Hut Signature Beef and Chicken Fajitas. For the vegan crowd, there are also vegan fajitas. Queso, salsa and chips are served at the table. Next Door is a coffee house with some nice dessert options for you to choose from, should you still have room in your belly when we're done eating and drinking. Sign Up We've reserved a space that can seat 120. This year, we're going to try requiring payment in advance via ACT to reserve your spot. If you need to pay for more than 2 people, please just make an additional donation via ACT for $23 x head count and email admin at yapcna.org. We can also take credit cards for your additional head count when you get there but it is easier for all concerned if you pay in advance via ACT. Fajitas: Signature Beef, Chicken Vegan Fajitas: Tossed together in a plum sauce are: zucchini, squash, bell peppers, mushrooms, sprouts, carrots Additionally, everyone gets these, most of which are vegan: flour and corn tortillas rice (non-vegan) beans pico de gallo / guacamole / jalapenos The chips and salsa on the table are also vegan From darren at darrenduncan.net Tue May 7 23:54:51 2013 From: darren at darrenduncan.net (Darren Duncan) Date: Tue, 07 May 2013 23:54:51 -0700 Subject: Arrival Dinner at the Hula Hut In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <5189F6BB.2050608@darrenduncan.net> Its nice that the Arrival Dinner has both the vegan and non-vegan options.

It doesn't have to be at an actually vegetarian restaurant. I made a wiki page for the anti-arrival dinner at http://www.yapcna.org/yn2013/wiki?node=AntiArrivalDinner. My impression based on past history is that many of the attendees come not because of dietary restrictions, but because they want a smaller group or the particular menu at the arrival dinner doesn't appeal to them.

The task is simple enough that you can work on it a bit then hand it off to someone else if you run out of time to donate. The requirements are simple; reply to admin at yapcna.org offlist or contact diakopter or toddr on #yapc (or /msg on freenode if you like). More than one person can help out if you don't mind some coordination overhead. We'd like you to research companies and advertised prices this weekend and prepare a list of 5-10 you plan to call first thing Monday central time. Melissa already started the research and gave us some links to start you off. Most of these places seem to advertise their prices, so getting a quote is really just a matter of confirming availability and getting a bid to provide the service in writing including any additional fees. Thanks!

If you were considering sponsoring YAPC::NA this year, try to make a decision today or tomorrow so you don't miss your opportunity for the t-shirt logo. However, you can still become a sponsor after then. Also, sorear++ asked yesterday about getting a table at the job fair; it's not too late for that, up to a certain number of additional tables. Contact admin at yapcna.org if you're interested. A couple of other related items: 1) if your company would like to donate branded (or even non-branded!) swag to be distributed to each attendee upon arrival, email admin at yapcna.org with details. 2) if you're one of the three sponsors who hasn't sent your black-on-white vector graphic of your logo for the t-shirt (printed light-on-dark), you have a decreasing amount of remaining time...

Reini, don't make any more comments generalizing about ethnic groups, including people with ancestry in India or American "Indians", whichever you meant. Even if you thought you weren't replying to hundreds of people, it's offensive because it implies that every member of the group you named has that property [not keeping rooms clean, whether as guests or management], which of course is immensely far from the truth, and shows you have disdain for every member of that group because of that property. However, even if you don't think every member of that group has that property, you were ALSO implying that ONLY members of that group have that property, since you concluded that you don't have anything to worry about if those people aren't involved, since ONLY those people could have that property. That is very revealing of your attitude. Hugh, there is no relation to the YAPC::NA code of conduct, since this is a public mailing list and you don't need to "sign" a code of conduct to join it. The mailing list is not just used by the North America YAPC, also. Also, even if Reini "signed" the YAPC::NA code of conduct, the conference hasn't started yet. Also, since it's not currently worded as an agreement, "signing" the code of conduct is meaningless apart from acknowledging that you have read the expectations of the Perl Foundation. There is no submission or commitment or agreement made to follow it. It's just saying "organizers might try to expel you if you don't live up to expectations"; "signing" it doesn't say one agrees to be expelled or stay away or not demand or sue for a refund anyway. A much toothier CoC agreement would be one that says "I agree to leave and not come back if the organizers ask me to leave, and I will not expect or demand a reason for being expelled if they do not give one. Separately, I will trust and will never doubt that the Perl Foundation made the correct decision when expelling me if they do so." That one actually has something that can Of course then, attending the conference then would represent a trust in the Perl Foundation to be reasonable and judicious about such decisions, which is nothing new... -not as an "organizer", Matthew On Mon, May 20, 2013 at 11:16 AM, Nuba Princigalli wrote: > On Mon, May 20, 2013, at 02:59 PM, Reini Urban wrote: > > Otherwise I would recommend Extended Stay, because they do not clean > > your room every day, only weekly and is therefore much cheaper, and > > they are no indians involved. > > Which means the rooms are clean and smell good. > > And here's -1 to the use of language that might imply a causal > relationship from "no indians involved" to "rooms are clean and smell > good". > > And I'm only using "might imply" instead of "implies" because english is > neither my native nor second language. > > -- > Nuba R.

The mailing list was also put into moderation mode in order to allow for a cooling off period over the issue. Q: Why is yapc at pm.org being moderated under the Code of Conduct Rules? A: The list has long since been controlled by YAPC organizers. The list in the past (including this year) has also auto-joined conference registrants. The list also has little or no activity outside of the conference venue. Q: Why did you ban Reini from the mailing list? A: This was a suspension to give us a chance to review the issue and make a considered response. Q: Why was Reini added back to the list? A: Reini expressed remorse and requested a chance to apologize. It is our opinion that the comments were made from ignorance and not malice and that he is sincere.

No, it's not a departure dinner, it's simply a dinner at the same time with fewer people at a different venue. If you'd like to attend this dinner, please sign up at http://www.yapcna.org/yn2013/wiki?node=AntiArrivalDinner so I have a rough head count. We will meet at 7pm in the lobby of the Thompson Conference Center. I will have a car, and can give rides. Others may have to cab it or walk or fly or skip (your choice). Right now I'm leaning towards The Clay Pit. It's reasonably close, the menu looks good, and vegan items are supposedly labeled on the printed menu. Absent any objections, that will be the dinner venue. Afterwards I plan to go to a vegan ice cream parlor, then pass out in a sugar-induced coma.

Bring a sharpie so we can write "HW++" on your forehead. :) More seriously, there should be stickers available, but they won't always be visible. And most people won't know "Deb Nicholson" from any of the random people they meet at the conference, so it helps to demarcate yourself in some more visibly obvious way.

The whole point of hallway++ is to be its own thing outside of the 'real' conference organising, hence why I considered suggesting they happened for badge ribbons and then decided it wasn't in keeping.

From admin at yapcna.org Tue May 21 23:14:07 2013 From: admin at yapcna.org (YAPC NA) Date: Wed, 22 May 2013 01:14:07 -0500 Subject: YAPC::NA::Austin Evening Activities Message-ID: http://blog.yapcna.org/post/51053578419/yapc-na-austin-evening-activities We have a full set of evening events to keep you busy while at YAPC in Austin this year. Sunday Night: The night before YAPC, we typically gather for the Arrival Dinner. If you?re looking for a smaller group of folks, you can slso meet up with the Anti-Arrival Dinner (Not to be confused with the People?s Front of Anti-Arrival Dinners.) http://blog.yapcna.org/post/50501525837/arrival-dinner-at-the-hula-hut http://www.yapcna.org/yn2013/wiki?node=AntiArrivalDinner Monday Night We?re hosting a VIP meet-and-greet mixer in the LBJ Lobby after lightning talks on Monday. VIP stands for ?Very Important to Perl?, and refers to the new attendees. The focus of the event is to honor and welcome first time attendees. Everyone is invited. We are encouraging attendees to Create or Join a B.O.F. Dinner, suggested to be held Monday evening after the VIP mixer. This is your chance to get to know a small group of Perl-ers in an informal dinner setting, around a common interest or theme, that doesn?t necessarily have anything to do with Perl. http://www.yapcna.org/yn2013/wiki?node=DinnerBOFNight Tuesday Night We?re bringing back a favorite from last year: Game Night. This year, we?re combining it with the YAPC Banquet.. After the lightning talks, buses will take you down to The Stage on Sixth, a venue on Austin?s Sixth Street, which we?ve fully reserved for this night. Dinner will be served buffet-style from The Salt Lick BBQ, served outside. Please let us know if you need the vegan option so we can ensure we have enough food for all. Dinner transitions into Game Night, which is designed by you. Be sure to update the wiki with any games you?d like to bring or join an existing game. Vegan: http://goo.gl/hebEb%20target= Games: http://www.yapcna.org/yn2013/wiki?node=GameNight Saturday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday nights Of course activities will be happening these nights too. These events usually get announced on the mailing list.

I put two on my badge (one on the front, one on the back) and two on my t-shirt (one on the front and one on the back). I managed to peel them off my t-shirt the next day and put them on a fresh t-shirt. The last day I had to use the last two stickers. They are black on white and visible enough to attract people who want to make a random chat or a more serious discussion.

I'm still super angry at me and ashamed, because you never know who willl read that later and will get it wrong. That's why I stepped back from my yapc talk, because I cannot really stand everybody looking at me there. But I'll probably come to the hackathon to talk about the projects and ideas we are working on. A YAPC really should be about bringing perl forward and talk about hacking, not about our stupid behavior, fights and mistakes we do online. I don't want to see another CoC incident.

Past actions are sometimes useful indicators for future behavior but then again if one judged everyone by the past this would be an awful world to live in. I don't know you so I readily admit what happened will taint my perspective but I do hope we can all get past this incident and focus on Perl.

Is there "one thing" we can all agree upon that will help move Perl forward? Again, I'm somewhat new and trying to find a niche.

Dude, if we could all agree on One Way To Do It we would be Python programmers. :) My advice would be for you to just use Perl. And when you run into a problem or a frustration--"I don't understand this in the docs of this module", or "I wish this would accept an array instead of a single value"--figure out how to fix it. By doing that, you will learn how to contribute (whether that's by sending a patch, just suggesting a change, forking on github and sending a pull request, etc), which will be useful knowledge no matter where you end up spending most of your time. If you are anxious to jump in and make a contribution right away, you could build an app from the ground up using a framework like Catalyst or Dancer and document every single thing that confused you, and the resolution, and put it all in a series of blog posts. IMHO, Catalyst could use this due to its complexity, Dancer due to its newness (and, possibly, due to its lack of complexity--sometimes it can be confusing when so much is done by magic, because you don't know where to even start looking to figure out what the magic words are). Experienced people can't do this (or at least not easily), because they've completely forgotten what confused them when they first started. It's a contribution that only a newbie can easily make. Caveat lector--I'm on the early part of the contribution curve myself, so ymmv and there may be much better opinions out there about where your effort would be best spent. mike -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In-Reply-To: References: <1780EC0A-CFCB-4F51-834A-90809120E025@geology.wisc.edu> Message-ID: <61B8D086-3BA6-4721-82A9-B9891C11AEB0@lanl.gov> I've been computing and using email lists and newsgroups, and Yahoo groups, wikis and all sorts of group discussions since the "good old days" (1984). I don't hink wikis and other newer tools are necessarily "better" for group communication. For many things, I think I prefer to have a web sited that I visit, rather than having posts trust in my face in my email in-box. But then after a while, I neglect to visit the web site, and I loose track of what is happening with the group. But the biggest trade-off is when I feel I need to unsubscribe from an email list because of too many replies to the whole group that could better be made in private among the 2 or 6 individuals who care about the sub-topic, which is off topic to the whole list. A GOOGLE search for [Emily postnews netiquette] brings up more, which ironically is off-topic for this PERL list. Getting back towards being on topic here, I was thinking that PERL programmers, and in particular people who were "into" PERL enough to attend yet another conference on PERL, would have some super-duper wiki or other modern communication device set up for this, instead of a simple email list. http://www.yapc.org/about.html Sure, there are the local PERL User Groups: http://www.pm.org/groups/north_america.html but I am 90 miles from the nearest city that has one. So I'd rather interact on-line with people working closer to my area of interest, the BIOPERL community: http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Main_Page Games, dinners, anti-dinners, hallway meetings, and HW++ are nice to hear about, but maybe as a sideline to discussions of what to expect from a meeting, and not as the main topics. There is a YAPC "discussion" on FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/pages/YAPC/133538816686027?rf=145177855492256# that looks like it has not been updated since 2008. On Facebook, I do not mind all sorts of endless discussion and we have the ability to "like" a topic and so on. But with e-mail I am expecting a lot less "traffic" unless the list offers a daily or weekly digest mode. So, could one of the "Hallway Meetings" get some folks together to discuss the uses of social media (including simple email) to bring together Birds of a Feather, as well as simple "friends and family"? There are things a bit similar to Facebook, such as LinkedIn and ResearchGate https://www.researchgate.net/home.Home.html and even GOOG:E+ "communities" and GOOGLE+ "circles" (who has any idea what the differences are?). Some of these things may be good, or better than simple email, for some subsets of the PERL world. Brian T.

I am subscribed to a lot of mailing lists. In most of them I just "lurk". Look at the subject, sometimes even at the content of the messages and then delete the mail. There are many cases when I am interested what others say but either I don't want to "say" anything. If those 2-6 who actually write and seem to be care about the sub-topic take it off the list I won't be able to see their discussion. I wrote this in first person as I don't know how other think about this, but various statistics show that only 5-20% of the subscribers on a mailing list write in any given *year*. So the vast majority lurks. I have no idea if they read every single message or auto-delete everything. > Getting back towards being on topic here, I was thinking that PERL > programmers, and in particular > people who were "into" PERL enough to attend yet another conference on PERL, > would > have some super-duper wiki or other modern communication device set up for > this, instead > of a simple email list. > > http://www.yapc.org/about.html YAPC::NA has a wiki http://www.yapcna.org/yn2013/wiki and IRC channel and mailing list and probably a lot of other ways to communicate. and G+ page, FB page and Twitter account and ...

For many people the social aspect of the conference is more important than the technical aspect. For others, it is the opposite way. The technical part - the presentations is usually mapped out fairly well by the organizers and usually you can see this in the schedule: http://www.yapcna.org/yn2013/schedule OTOH the social part is to a large extent self-organized. The YAPC organizers provide the 'platform' aka. the rooms, and they organize some of the social events, but I think most of the social events are self-organized by the participants.

Google+ seem to attract more of them. Again, I can only give my own example: I configured my e-mail client to move all the YAPC related messages in one folder. That allows me to filter those out. Then I can go over the messages when time permits. eg. once a day *and* it organizes them in threads. I find it much better (for myself) than having a digest. > > So, could one of the "Hallway Meetings" get some folks together to discuss > the uses of > social media (including simple email) to bring together Birds of a Feather, > as well as simple > "friends and family"?

See "Social connect" on the right hand side of http://www.yapcna.org/yn2013/ for links how to "follow" YAPC::NA on your favourite social network.

Happy to do so. Any idea how I need to bring said film(s) if we're doing it at the Alamo? I've got a hard drive full of stuff, but I can certainly bring stuff on dvd/blu-ray if that works better. Since you're talking to them, could you query and let me know? > we expect to send out a short list of some classic films. we will > have to vote on them quickly as this event is just a week from > monday. hard to believe yapc is approaching as it has never been > held in early june. For what it's worth, I can bring good/classic films as well. Contrary to popular belief, I own a bunch of those too. :-) dha -- David H.

I never cared for any of the Highlander movies (or the tv show which was more lame). Any way, for those of you that have an account on YAPCNA.org, and who are interested in attending, please take a moment to add yourself to the list here (http://www.yapcna.org/yn2013/wiki?node=SocialEvents, edit the page to add yourself). This way we can get a better feel for how many will be attending. Thanks On Fri, May 24, 2013 at 7:54 PM, Eric wrote: > I could dig a little deeper.

Attached is a partial list of stuff I have. I've taken out the region 2 stuff, as their player may well not be region-free. For anyone feeling deprived, however, I probably have a bunch of it on a hard drive, so if/when ACTUAL Bad Movie Night happens, or if we have some other viewing night, I should be able to come up with something good. :-) dha -- David H.

I miss the horribly bad "Plan 9 From Outer Space" on the list. The worst movie I ever saw.

People don't watch enough of those. the truth. we may have to force feed them. i was at a bbq party today and heard someone misspeak 'walk on glass' instead of 'walk on grass'. of course chinatown came to mind immediately. the people around didn't know of that flick at all. i told them nickelson, dunnaway and one said they had to see it. film ejumication! > > And, I forget if it was actually on the list or not (and I'm too lazy to > look), but, as good as I Was A Male War Bride is, I happen to prefer > Bringing Up Baby.

Or a dinosaur skeleton. i agree baby is funnier but i didn't see it in your list. i see it now. i wanted to keep only a few b&w in the list (wife has a thing for color movies. a shame!). and i love kate. even better with kate and grant (and stewart who won an oscar) is philadephia story but that is more a sophisticated comedy than a farcical romp. anyways, no one has stepped up to vote on the main flick. i am fine with analyst and it is also hysterical as well as goofy. james coburn is a fave of mine. i recently learned he was the grandson of charles coburn. i often wondered if they were related. thanx, uri From uri at stemsystems.com Mon May 27 21:08:54 2013 From: uri at stemsystems.com (Uri Guttman) Date: Tue, 28 May 2013 00:08:54 -0400 Subject: dha is the catalog!

Plan 9 isn't anywhere > *near* the bottom of my list. Heck, I've seen worse films by the same > director! plan 9 is just the most famous worst film ever. it was voted that some years ago so it clings to that title. the director (ed wood) was a loon and transvestite among other things (like a bad director). he even made a movie about this called glen or glenda! they made a recent bio-pic about him called ed wood. so he is famous for some of the worst movies ever made and they made a move about him because of that! :) but one of the cheapest bad movies ever made is actually kind of good - the original b&w little shop of horrors. with jack nicholson in an early role as a masochistic dental patient. it was shot in 2 days on a set left over from another movie that was scheduled to be torn down. a roger corman classic that has to be the best value ever in making a movie (cost about $20k to make). a must be seen movie! thanx, uri From dha at panix.com Mon May 27 21:20:35 2013 From: dha at panix.com (David H.

I miss the horribly bad "Plan 9 From Outer Space" on the list. The worst movie I ever saw. In that case, you may need to see more bad movies. Plan 9 isn't anywhere *near* the bottom of my list. Heck, I've seen worse films by the same director! plan 9 is just the most famous worst film ever. it was voted that some years ago so it clings to that title. the director (ed wood) was a loon and transvestite among other things (like a bad director). So.. apparently being a transvestite is not only a bad thing, but just as bad as being a loon.

What do you know. uri--, this is not acceptable > behavior. > I really think it would be preferable if people would address these things off-list first--a polite note to the individual like this: "Uri, your comment: [include text of comment], could be taken to be disparaging to transvestites, who are a part of the queer universe and subject to significant persecution in various places. It might be good if you would post a clarification that you weren't intending this as an attack or smear against transvestites, because we don't want transvestites or anyone in the greater queer community to feel unwelcome." Or, just as another example: "Brian, I noted that in your recent rebuke of Uri you referred to Uri as saying that being transvestite is "as bad as" being a loon. As I'm sure you know, 'loon' can be taken to be a pejorative against the mentally ill. The mentally ill are subject to severe persecution in various places, and you sticking up for transvestites while not just ignoring but callously reinforcing the stigma against the mentally ill would be a double insult to anyone on the list who is either themselves suffering through mental illness or has a loved one who is. It might be good if you post a clarification that you weren't intending this as an attack or smear against the mentally ill, because otherwise those on the list that are mentally ill might feel unwelcome.." or even [seriously, I think this could be a legitimate concern with what I wrote above when re-reading], "Mike, why did you say 'suffering from' mental illness? Why not 'dealing with' or 'surviving'? People with mental illness are very likely tired of phrasing that invokes pity rather than recognizing and validating their efforts at surviving a serious challenge that very few (if any) of the non-mentally ill have a tiny inkling of understanding about." In fact, "loon" can be meant in a somewhat affectionate way, and if that is the way that Uri meant it (which you can't tell from text), it is not necessarily bad to have transvestite juxtaposed to it. I don't know Uri's country/culture of origin, or his native language. Transvestitism may be viewed as a mere curiosity where he is from rather than something to be violently persecuted as it is in other places. We have people in this community from all over the world, from different cultures and backgrounds. If we find something said on-list to be potentially offensive to another member of the community, let's all start taking that directly to the person that posted it, off list. Politely explain that what they said could be seen as an attack by some members of our community, and let them know that they might want to post an apology or a clarification. It's much smoother to resolve these things this way--the person who made the post can then issue a one liner like: "it has been brought to my attention that this comment I made earlier [insert comment] could be seen as an attack against the [x] community. That was not my intention, and I apologize if to anyone who was offended if it was taken that way." rather than having a defensive reaction triggered because of a public attack. TL;DR : Whenever possible, assume innocent miscommunication. Attempt to resolve off-list first. mike, waiting expectantly for a note like: "Mike, I noticed in your rebuke of Brian's rebuke of Uri, you did it on the list. I thought the whole point of what you were saying was that you should make these comments in private and give the person involved a chance to apologize on list without first publicly shaming them." Sorry about that. I'll try to do better in the future. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ed Wood was pretty well-known to be a loon (a crazy lunatic), a cross dresser (some outsiders might call his behaviour transvestite), and one of the worst movie directors all times. Well, Uwe Boll might be worse for sure.

Loon is a significantly derogatory term. There are ways to discuss people with mental illness which do not carry that level of stigma. Similarly, someone's gender orientation probably isn't meaningful for discussion, especially not when rolled together with madness and other critically toned comments. There's nothing particularly wrong with cross dressing; that's a lifestyle, not a problem. This is particularly of interest because Ed was placed into that lifestyle by his mother, rather than through personal orientation. Also of note is that I think the accusation of mental illness is probably over-stated. He was in the 1950s, when adult fetishes were considered a sign of mental illness (simple things like one now takes for granted.) By modern standards, he wouldn't even be considered particularly kinky. Remember, this was a time when the head of the FBI was terrified that people would discover he wore dresses in private, and would as a result be institutionalized or lobotomized. Things are different today. I don't know that uri particularly made me angry, but it was fairly easy to understand as a comment that could trouble people who themselves were or had friends or family who were in these groups. We're all sort of riding out a wave of massive over-sensitivity in software engineering, to the point that an outsider can over-hear and misunderstand a joke about forking a codebase, and end up getting three people fired. So let's err on the side of being considerate, until we can go back to being a community of plain spoken people? Anyway, that's how I see it. Thanks for hearing me out, and I won't speak to the matter again. Also, his bad movies are actually really good. They're like movies that someone was dared to make. Give them a chance. It's not like we're talking about Hammer Films here. :) If you think Plan 9 from Outer Space is the worst movie of all time, I recommend a good solid showing of Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires, or other unrelated classics like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes Part 3 and Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD.

Given that it's a University environment, I suspect the temperatures in buildings will be set for the mid-low 70s. They'd want people (e.g. students) to be comfortable in warmer clothing, without freezing out those who are wearing shorts or lighter clothing in the Texas late-Spring. Of course, if the University or building managers decide that's the week to institute energy saving measures (as sometimes happened at the University I worked at when classes weren't in session), then it might be a bit on the warmer side inside. Personally I plan to wear shorts most of the time I'm there. > I don't recall how the humidity compares, but when I would > walk outside I wouldn't be able to see for a few minutes > due to fogged-up glasses. I've never found Austin to be particularly humid, and certainly not anything like Houston levels of humidity. I tend to think of Austin as more arid than humid, at least in the spring and summer months. Mornings can be a bit humid but they're cool (60s), and the air dries out a fair bit as the day goes on.

What's the link for that? And do you need to sign up on crowdtilt for that? 'Cause, if so, there's a problem - I try to create an account and it tells me there's and error and I should try again... but it doesn't tell me what the error *is*.

Starting with the LBJ Auditorium, this is the main meeting hall, the site of all the plenary events and one quarter of the talks. Here is its floor plan, where North is to the right. Note its two entrances - the 6 exterior doors from the Lower Lobby are shown in several of the photos below, so you can find them. They are at the bottom of a long stairwell ramp on the side of the large concrete platform. The other entrance is through the Upper Lobby, a long, wide walkway connecting the stairs from the first floor lobby (yes, a lobby above the Upper Lobby) with the Lower Lobby. Registration/check-in on Monday morning is in the Upper Lobby. See the next post for the TCC floor plan and conference schedule.

You can unbutton or remove an outer layer if you're warm enough, but you can't put one on if you don't have it. This is true not just on campus, but in many other places (theaters, museums, restaurants), in that many places err on the side of freezing. I don't personally mind this -- so long as I have remembered a protective layer. It's the transition and contrast that can be jarring, even when I like the indoor temperature just fine otherwise.

Humidity in Austin generally isn't terrible (nothing like Houston), but if you're from the Left Coast as I am originally, then any humidity above 40% may seem like a lot. Typically, the humidity this time of year will be between 45% to as high as 85% (yikes!). When thunderstorms roll through, you'll definitely notice the humidity then. The advice I've seen repeated here sounds good - bring something light to put on should you be in an overly-cold room. I have a team mate that always has a sweatshirt or pull-over at the office even when it's in the 90's (32 C) outside.

Low-to-mid 70's (21 C) is typical for most offices here, but some err on the side of "too cool" IMO, and tend to be warm natured (in body at least!). Humidity in Austin generally isn't terrible (nothing like Houston), but if you're from the Left Coast as I am originally, then any humidity above 40% may seem like a lot. Typically, the humidity this time of year will be between 45% to as high as 85% (yikes!). When thunderstorms roll through, you'll definitely notice the humidity then. The advice I've seen repeated here sounds good - bring something light to put on should you be in an overly-cold room. I have a team mate that always has a sweatshirt or pull-over at the office even when it's in the 90's (32 C) outside.

I worked as professional film critic for more than 10 years and I am still going to the major festivals. Both of you are right. Clear and consistent style and themes are okay, but this doesn't make you a good filmmaker per se. To be a good filmmaker you need to make good films also :) Or least certain parts of a film must be good enough. Story, working with the actors, technical, marketing, ... The current cult worst director is btw. Tommy Viseau with "The Room". This is so bad that it is legendary already. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Room_(film) I believe he is german.

Perhaps not really Perl, but still good. :) But as I'm sure you'll agree, it's easy to mechanically translate between the two dialects, which renders it fundamentally uninteresting to VM hackers. And as such I hope never to have to talk about it in Austin. What I think we *do* want to talk about are the dimensions of VM implementation: The major issue that can't be avoided is semantics. What *are* the translation failure points moving among Perl 5, other Perl dialects (present and proposed), various candidate VMs, and even other dynamic languages? Where do square pegs meet round holes, and can we round the pegs, square the holes, or just get a bigger hammer? What's fun *and* useful? For one example subject: It sounds good to target Perl 5 on JavaScript until you realize that all of "perldoc perlre" has to work. Anyone planning to reimplement just PCRE in JS, let alone the full Perl regex engine with (?{}) and (?{{}}) ? Would anyone want to *use* it? Anyone? Bueller? Also, JS uses UCS-2, not even UTF-16. Planning to toss the whole swash database into that perl.js? IMO, proper Unicode support is impractical on JS. And who wants to retrofit the user code that assumes timely DESTROY when JS has no destructor calls? Not looking good to me. Most of these issues are also bad enough in Java to make it a hostile environment for Perl. What have I missed? Here's another: I would prefer a Perl VM that doesn't use references (RVs) in the Perl 5 sense, but works more like every other dynamic language where there are no separate values called "references" because all general-purpose values can be used by reference[*], though with escapes for efficiency (unboxing). A Perl VM without RVs is a much better Perl VM: it's simpler, and it's a lot more compatible with non-Perl data models. It might even host Perl 6-ish languages without huge pain. AFAICT, the only place RVs are user-visible and persistent and non-fakeable is in references to scalars, e.g. \$a and \\$a, which can be special-cased. Is my imagination good enough? I think XS compatibility can be kept as well. It's not like we can afford to keep revealing our real full API to XS code anyway. That leads to hardening of the implementation. So XS will be a fakery level going forward. Here's a third: Working complex systems always evolve from earlier working systems. So I think the best C-family VM in the future of Perl is likely to be a stepwise evolution from Camel perl. Maybe the steps will be big! But it's a matter of steps. In the end we may have changed both the handle and the head, but it'll be the same axe. Here's a fourth: What parsing technologies are suitable for Perl? Can we crib something from Parrot land? *Should* we? Personally I'd love to parse Perl with a Boost Spirit grammar, and I probably will, but extending it would be somewhat more work than using a grammar itself build on the Perl VM's dynamic nature ... though again, we must be sure not to slow down parsing to the point it's not fun to use. So, a C++ parser may have a limited lifetime; but if that's the case, how did we get this far with perly.y? So many interesting questions, so little time. [*] sometimes the value references are faked, e.g. V8 Number, but that's actually good; it shows that faked references can work. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I think if you were going to make a Perl-like language that is sigil-free, where sigils aren't used to indicate that what it appears with is the name of some entity in contrast to a keyword or literal, I agree. My preference instead is to let bare symbolic characters generally be parsed as operators, so for example a "$foo" means "$" is a unary operator whose argument is "foo", like how "-foo" is treated (or its an infix depending on context, again like "-"), and likewise for % and @ etc. In the same context I'd prefer # to be freed up from being a comment marker and useable as an operator like other symbols, so for example one can declare unary "#" so eg "#ary" returns the count of elements in "ary". I like "/* */" for comments as one is unlikely to want an operator like that while I can see a lot of desire for "#" as an operator. So this wouldn't necessarily be Perl anymore, but I do that in my Perl-alike language. -- Darren Duncan From uri at stemsystems.com Thu May 30 20:48:45 2013 From: uri at stemsystems.com (Uri Guttman) Date: Thu, 30 May 2013 23:48:45 -0400 Subject: dha is the catalog!

I disagreed. i agree with you dha. the auteur theory as i know it was to say who is the person most behind the film. in many cases it is the director and those great directors whose films you know justify it. a hitchcock, woody allen or spielberg film is usually easy to identify. they are the auteur of their films. ed wood is an auteur by that rule. he is a BAD auteur but his films are unmistakenly his films! now films are a very collaborative enterprise and the director isn't the only one with major influence on the final product. they are in many case the most influential as they tell the other creatives and crafts people what they want and give feedback when they don't get it. few directors (good or bad) cast such a large shadow that you know it is their work by just watching it. uri From rev.chip at gmail.com Thu May 30 20:58:51 2013 From: rev.chip at gmail.com (Chip Salzenberg) Date: Thu, 30 May 2013 20:58:51 -0700 Subject: I'm going to YAPC In-Reply-To: <51A81D8F.1050407@darrenduncan.net> References: <1825C144-415A-46A9-985E-CF442F4D42C9@gmail.com> <51A81D8F.1050407@darrenduncan.net> Message-ID: On Thu, May 30, 2013 at 8:48 PM, Darren Duncan wrote: > On 2013.05.30 8:03 PM, Chip Salzenberg wrote: > >> On Thu, May 30, 2013 at 6:58 PM, Reini Urban >> wrote: >> What? >> And I seriously thought of proposing making the scalar $ sigil >> optional. >> It looks bad and is only needed within strings. functions are scalars >> also, >> so treat them as such. >> Bleach the beast. ruby had a point. >> >> if (b) { a = 12 } >> elsif (b) { a = 14 } >> else { a = sub{ 1 } } >> print a; >> >> A sigil-free mutation of Perl would be a good language, to be sure. >> Perhaps not >> really Perl, but still good. :) But as I'm sure you'll agree, it's easy >> to >> mechanically translate between the two dialects, which renders it >> fundamentally >> uninteresting to VM hackers.

If your son is just coming along to see your talk, I don't really see that he's getting any conference value per-se, so no, I don't see that he would need to pay for a badge.

If you're not in training and you've never been to a hackathon, all you need to do is show up and volunteer. There will be plenty of projects in need of help and people to show you how you can. How to get there: You can find all of the points of interest for YAPC in this handy dandy google map: http://www.yapcna.org/yn2013/map.html. You want to go to the Thompson Conference Center tomorrow. A close up can be seen here: http://goo.gl/maps/tPSF6. Note that parking is in lot 40 not lot 39. Parking is free. How to get your WiFi fix: The SSID is ?attwifi?. You?ll use the coupon code that?s on your badge. This will be provided tomorrow if you attend an official event. The Arrival Dinner: Hula Hut is out of seating. If you didn?t manage to get a spot, we encourage you to join the Anti-Arrival Dinner or form your own social gathering.

URL: From volunteers at yapcna.org Fri May 31 22:42:40 2013 From: volunteers at yapcna.org (Volunteer Organizer) Date: Sat, 1 Jun 2013 00:42:40 -0500 Subject: Request for Volunteers Message-ID: Hi, all. We're looking for some volunteers to help out with the conference. YAPC is a community conference, more than just about every other tech conference today. It is through community involvement that we have a conference at all. It is in this spirit of community and camaraderie that we come to you today to ask for volunteers. If you've ever wanted to help run a YAPC but didn't want to have to take care of everything, or didn't want all the responsibility involved (and there is a lot of it), now's your chance. If you've wanted to help out in some small way but weren't sure where to start, this is your chance! What follows is a list of things that just about anyone can do. Please feel free to respond with any interest you have in helping out. We thank you for helping to make this YAPC amazing. * We need people to be in each room for each talk to make sure that speakers get off to a smooth start. This includes making sure their laptops work properly (and seeking help if not), setting up the microphone, and signalling them as they approach the time limit for their talk. I've found a tablet with a big "5 MIN" written in a word processor works well. The idea is to give 10, 5, 2, and 1 minute notices for longer talks, and 5, 2, and 1 minute notices for shorter talks. * We need people to monitor the sound in each room during each talk. This will preferably need to be someone who's familiar with audio kit, and is probably the most technically demanding item on this list. * We need people to monitor the LiveStreams to make sure that things are proceeding smoothly and to let us know if / when things go pear-shaped. * We need folks to greet / redirect / guide attendees to their destinations on Monday morning. Ideally this will be people who have tablets with maps of the area to show people where to go and how to get there. There are other ways to do this, of course, and the above is just one tested and known-working approach. This also includes people standing outside LBJ and making sure people reach the registration desk, which brings us to the next point. * We need people to coordinate registration on Monday morning, which opens at 7 AM. Yes, it's 7 AM, and it's a crime against nature. However, there is a major perk for this position: every single person needs to pass through registration. Every single attendee. This is a unique opportunity to meet new people and make connections with a large part of the Perl community. If you've ever wanted to have a good reason to talk with someone in the Perl community, this could be it! * We need people to shepherd folks to / from the busses and into The Stage for Tuesday night. This will help make sure everyone arrives where and when they need to be there. * We need people to coordinate setting up and tearing down at The Stage early Tuesday and late Tuesday, respectively. If any of the above sounds interesting, please let us know by emailing volunteers at yapcna.org. We'll contact you offlist to coordinate further. Thank you for your interest in helping out! YAPC is more than anything a community conference, and by helping out you help us make a better conference for everyone. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We need to talk about it more. You don't have to look very hard to make a sizeable list of accomplished people in the F/OSS community whom we've lost to suicide. Less apparent is the ongoing harm when someone's struggling to deal with an unrecognized or untreated mental health issue on their own. In addition to the obvious suffering, it's pretty hard to do your best work when you're trying to cope with a brain that hates you. This is a huge loss for them, their employer, and the community as a whole. Something like 1 in 5 people will deal with a diagnosable mental illness in their lifetime. Despite this, there's still a lot of stigma around disclosing mental health problems and seeking treatment for them. This stigma is killing us. The longer people wait to talk to somebody or seek help, the worse things can get. So, I'd like to put together an informal BoF for anyone who's interested in mental health in the tech community. No crazy required to attend -- folks who are interested in talking about the issue at the overview level are welcome along with anybody who wants to share their own experiences. Scheduling is pretty open -- we could pick a restaurant for the Monday night Dinner BoF, grab a table at Tuesday's banquet, or do something else entirely. If you're interested, you're welcome to email me privately (rick at shadowspar.dyndns.org), or to sign up on the BoF wiki page. http://www.yapcna.org/yn2013/wiki?node=Mental%20Health%20BOF Cheers, Rick PS: Speaking of people who are talking about these issues, props to Greg Baugues (@greggyb) and Ed Finkler (@funkatron) for trying to get the conversation going: http://blog.baugues.com/devs-and-depression http://confreaks.com/videos/2341-mwrc2013-devs-and-depression http://funkatron.com/posts/open-sourcing-mental-illness.html http://funkatron.com/posts/open-sourcing-mental-illness-at-php_tek13.html -- key B2480CA6 / print D0E7 6EBB A448 B31D 691E 3F44 71D8 8993 B248 0CA6 By all means insist that all pitons be driven in at the mountain's peak only.

I don't like mustard. For what it's worth, I'm bringing a lot more physical media than I usually do for yapc. 80% are arguably "good" films. This, of course, doesn't count what's on my hard drive, which probably contains a lot more stuff for Bad Movie Night. So, if need be, I can attack Uri with sharp discs if he becomes a problem. :-) dha -- David H.
