  1. @clonezone Plans in *subtests* aren't as important because you automatically know when you've terminated early, unlike with normal tests.
  2. @clonezone If you don't like an implicit done_testing in subtests, just specify a plan, 'no_plan' or 'skip_all'.
  3. Submitted pull request for Test::Builder to eliminate need for plans in subtests. WIll make using them much easier.
  4. @techpractical It had better be a very old whisky. Thatcher won't die until the horcruxes are found and destroyed.
  5. The Republican party and the anti-choice "Focus on the Family" offer health care which covers abortions. http://bit.ly/3FJGE0
  6. Apparently, the death of #margaret #thatcher has caused some confusion. http://bit.ly/guQCx
  7. I'm guessing fans of this site are homeopathic astrologers who worry about vaccine/autism link. http://bit.ly/3oO2xA
  8. @ThreeBytesFull Hey, we're getting there. Cut us some slack :) (that said, all credit for www.perl.org is to Leo Lapworth and Foxtons)
  9. @aaroncrane I'm particularly interested that it lacks type hierarchies. Sounds like they think inheritance needs to die :)
  10. @aaroncrane Oh god, I certainly hope not. Plain assignments introducing variables is a big bucket of stupid.
  11. Some block important #perl work when they've no energy; when they do, they want results. Worry sometimes that I'm one of those.
  12. In case you haven't seen it, the new http://www.perl.org/ is up. #win #perl
  13. Seems we have what appear to be motivational signs all over the place. One of them reads "easy is hard". What a morale booster :)
  14. @timbunce Terribly sad that people would be so gullible as to think 2012 might be the end. Another loss for rational thought.
  15. @perigrin I can promise you I'm not giving them LinkedIn for my resume. It's just another networking too.
  16. LinkedIn can now add your Twitter feed to your LinkedIn profile. High-tech way of saying "You'd be an idiot for hiring me"/
  17. I'm beginning to suspect that any sufficiently complicated #database is merely a broken triple-store with edge cases.
  18. Coming up with a plan to sidestep Test::Builder 2. I want the new test features but I don't want to wait. #perl #testing
  19. @techpractical Oh, we do heavy caching already. We're running into scalability issues and we're beyond low-hanging fruit optimizations :)
  20. @techpractical May have practical use. Use a solid state drive for our prod db? Huge performance boost w/o architectural changes!
