This weekend’s "final boss" wasn’t in a video game—it was my #Perl build. 🦖 Dist::Zilla and I stepped into the ring… and left as allies.

(No Pacific Rim cities were harmed.)

This thread highlights one of the key differences between the design processes behind #Raku and #Perl.

Raku's design all came from the question "What could I build if I could basically start again from scratch? What ideas might I have? How do I build a coherent whole from (1/2)

More seriously, the whole approach is Platonic. The Good is some perfection that we compare imperfect concretes to. Concretes are good insofar as they resemble this perfection.

But whereas Plato saw the Good as an other-worldly abstractions, religionists see it as an other-worldly concrete.

This approach defines out of existence an Aristotelian approach, where the good is not some abstract perfection, but an abstract standard we use to guide us in the achievement of a rational ultimate value.

That's the approach I take here: https://t.co/DTGfFsb7Tw

Step 1: Define the good as God

Step 2: Declare that atheists must by definition reject the good

Cute.

Twitter is shutting down our integration. They did not provide a schedule (or even working links to more info). I’m working on the Mastodon replacement now: https://t.co/tzVre3OFy4

I'm broke and looking for #flutter work. You've seen my skills. Please talk to me. DM here or Slack or Discord or https://t.co/jJs9uPvQmB.

@john_bokma OK, I’m breaking my Twitter silence because I see (an entirely different selection of?) these “greatest hits” blogs on https://t.co/shK80bb0uy but you don’t respond there.

In a word, why? Especially because you seem to post up-to-date material at https://t.co/tk1f3vZt72

[Mark Gardner @markjgardner]

@denschub They mentioned it in their November 23 blog: https://t.co/MdvsAfoT8N

And they sent an email titled “Pricing update for subscribers” on December 1. See the attached screenshot.

It would have been nice if @flexibits emailed again before the @AppStore‘s one-month warning notice.

[Mark Gardner @markjgardner]

@petvas I received an email directly from @flexibits back on December 1. Perhaps you did as well?

“Subscription pricing for Flexibits Premium will increase (due to inflation and rising costs) on January 3, 2023. You will not be charged the new price until your subscription renews.”

[Mark Gardner @markjgardner]

You literally hold the fate of stalwart #indie #innovators @tapbots and @Iconfactory in your hands. Do nothing and they’re collateral damage in @elonmusk’s destruction of @Twitter.

Do the right thing. Tell everyone. Install & run the #apps one last time and decline the refund.
