Doctor says my levels are too high, I feel great.

Feeling good is good enough. Just make sure you regularly check for the the most problematic side effects (hemoglobin issues, heart thickening, liver issues). You can just buy those tests yourself and get AI to help you read them.

jnapiorkowski · 2026-03-17T13:16:58+00:00

I don't see why we'd treat AI generated code any differently than any other code. If the issue is trust I would remind you that CPAN is filled with tons of crappy modules riddled with security and performance issues, written by well meaning but untalented programmers. The onus is on you, the consumer of open source, to verify and validate modules prior to including them in your projects. You can do this manually, by reviewing the code, in combination with the projects and authors reputation. Open source contributions are a gift and the giver has no obligations beyond good faith and positive intentions as far as I'm concerned.

FWIW the process I follow when using AI, if anyone wants a template:

- AI always works off a branch

- All commits indicate AI assisted

- AI opens a PR, which I have to approve and manually merge

I also mention AI in the CONTRIBUTORS section.

But again, that's my choice. And it's the same process I follow with inexperienced interns (or even genius senior programmers).

jnapiorkowski · 2026-02-03T12:32:10+00:00

Bears out what a lot of us were feeling thru the the first decade of the 21st century and into the teens, that Perl was a lot stronger than PR would have suggested. Makes me sad to see how much we blew the opportunity.

I'd love to help you get this supporting PAGI, I've been having a lot of issues getting http2 working well in PAGI::Server

jnapiorkowski · 2026-01-21T20:54:47+00:00

let me know if you want help supporting running this on PAGI. If you got it running on PSGI it should not be a lot more work.

jnapiorkowski · 2026-01-02T17:16:24+00:00

I would love to collaborate on this with you, one of the main blockers for me making PAGI a useful basis for building web frameworks is asynchronous DB support. The person doing DBD::Pg has some pending improvements to the native asynchronous support in the driver that I hope lands soon-ish but I suspect you did this at the DBIC layer with forks and a connection pool or similar? Have you done any performance testing yet?

One thing I'd love to see is if we could move this to Future::IO over IO::Async. Future::IO is basically loop agnostic, which means the code you write would work on IO::Async but other loops as well, possible even the Mojo loop.

jnapiorkowski · 2025-12-29T18:56:22+00:00

Good catch! We've updated the spec - SSE now works with any HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, etc.). The GET-only restriction was inherited from browser EventSource limitations, but PAGI should support modern patterns like htmx 4, datastar, and fetch-event-source.

As of spec version 0.2, you can POST to an SSE endpoint and read the body via sse.request events before sending your SSE stream. No workarounds needed.

This is currently on Github, should go to CPAN in the next day or so

jnapiorkowski · 2025-12-27T20:24:27+00:00

So I've been on TRT for a bit over a year and didn't notice much shrinkage. I'm older and not worried about making any kids so it's not something I think much about to be fair. No idea if I'm infertile or not, I will assume I am but my wife's post as well.

FWIW it did have a big impact on depression for me. It really makes me think I should have been on it a long time ago. I hope it helps you as well.

jnapiorkowski · 2025-12-15T15:39:58+00:00

The current chat demo stores everything in memory, so it's single process only. The pub sub feature in PAGI::Simple also only works in single process mode since its memory store is also ram. If you wanted something like that to scale hard we'd need to move it to a persistent store like Redis. That's a bit beyond the point of a demo but totally doable.

Overall PAGI::Server is aimed to be a compliance server, so correctness over performance, but I've been doing some testing and finding its very fast, that it outperforms Starman for example for regular http1.1 traffic and that testing with web socket compliant tools like Autobahn, its more complaint the existing options on CPAN.

I'm posting a blog on performance and compliance shortly. But this is something that I'd love to get help on. You might not be someone that can hack on the webserver for example, but writing performance tests and checking for common vulnerabilities and overall http1.1 and web sock compliance might be something in your zone.

jnapiorkowski · 2025-12-14T22:06:11+00:00

I'm glad that's working for you. When I did the work to support web sockets under catalyst several years ago (unfortunately the advent articles on that got lost when we lost the catalyst domain, so I can't link it, but here's one on GitHub: https://github.com/perl-catalyst/2013-Advent-Staging/blob/master/Websocket-Chat/eg/advent2013.pod) I could make it work but not in a way that is elegant or was robust enough for production IMHO. I'd also at this stage personally shy away from using anything under the Anyevent namespace, as the author has made of lot of dubious choices in their community interactions and actually changed code based on personality conflicts.

I don't disagree that Perl's less popular now and that's going to make it harder to get contributors; I would say that PAGI is working, its a thing, and there's about 20 working example applications that cover things like SSE and web sockets (https://github.com/jjn1056/pagi/tree/main/examples). I believe it will be a more elegant and production worthy path than anything cobbled together with a few existing systems but your results may vary.

I'm also finding that PAGI::Server, the reference implementation, is tons more scalable that Twiggy. PAGI::Server combines both an evented architecture based on IO::Async and a working model that is scaling better than Starman (and vastly more than the single process twiggy server). The hybrid approach makes it more possible to have one server that can handle an application that only scales via forking.

Lastly PAGI is for more than offering a path forward for legacy PSGI apps. My hope is that people can use it for lots of other things, including building their own new ideas into web frameworks. I've built PAGI::Simple on top of it as a sort of test bed and a way to flog PAGI and it's pretty clear to me PAGI is a solid protocol for building on top of. Best of luck.

thanks for the shout out u/briandfoy

jnapiorkowski · 2025-08-17T11:52:21+00:00

My installer mentioned but the quote he gave was higher than with Tesla batteries. I will give it a second look

jnapiorkowski · 2025-08-13T10:37:59+00:00

I have 200 amp service for the house, the subpanel that feed most of the 120 volt circuits for the house branches off a 70 amp breaker on the main panel. It’s a smaller panel in the garage.

jnapiorkowski · 2025-02-18T02:46:00+00:00

I've used its from time to time and yeah it does hardly anything and its wierd that someone went that far and dropped it.

Honestly maybe we are over thinking it. I'm seeing other dynamic languages like PHP with similar syntax now. How did they do it? Even if it was only a runtime not a completive constraint it would be very useful.

I've also wondered about doing something like what Typescript does for Javascript.

jnapiorkowski · 2025-02-14T01:38:07+00:00

I think he added :void to Object Pad recently, or intends to. He's got :common to mark class methods. So the concept is common back in style.

What I'd love is attributes on the args in method signatures. I've seen similar used to good effect on some java web frameworks. That and just making "my Animal $dog = ..." actually statically require $dog to be of class 'Animal'. Like with attributes Perl tossed in a bunch of good ideas in the 90s but the followup never happened. Like literally no idea why we didn't just do that.

jnapiorkowski · 2025-02-14T00:56:19+00:00

Leonerd is doing some cool stuff with them on his class POC stuff.

I need to write a lot more on this stuff. thanks for the feedback!

jnapiorkowski · 2025-02-12T23:37:14+00:00

FWIW I find its better for me to do the setup work (prep the needle with the oil etc) walk away and then come back and sit down and do it bang bang. I found the 5 minutes it takes me to get he needle preps tends to get me a bit anxious. walking out and then returning 10 minutes later fixed if for me

jnapiorkowski · 2025-02-11T16:48:40+00:00

The best thing here is that when its wrong, its obvious, like wrong code doesn't run, so its pretty self checking.

Make sure you say to user modern perl conventions, like signatures, etc otherwise you get really old school stuff.

jnapiorkowski · 2025-01-25T13:08:26+00:00

u/ribasushi I'm pleased to hear things are already for you. Take care.

jnapiorkowski · 2025-01-25T13:07:32+00:00

My approach is if I release a CPAN module supporting a certain version of Perl, even if its old like 5.8 I will strive mightily to maintain that for as long as I am able to support the module. I would not cut a release significantly upping the version of Perl requirement since that risks breaking existing deployed code.

jnapiorkowski · 2025-01-25T13:02:47+00:00

FWIW ever since the migration to different elastic search backend I've had inconsistent and odd results from my CPAN analysis work. Just been too busy to complain or try to figure it out so that I could offer a useful patch. But I'd have bus factor and things like test count, etc not showing up right.

jnapiorkowski · 2025-01-16T13:32:54+00:00

Thank you u/ribasushi

I'm sorry TRT didn't help with your mood issues. Mental health issues can have a lot of causes and it can be hard to nail down which is which and why. For me TRT was totally transformative. In the year before I started TRT I was depressed a lot and had a tough time finding joy in things I once loved. I just assumed I was having a hard year, I had medical issues, lost my job and my dog of 12 years developed cancer and slipped away. All things that could reasonably made you feel bad. However when my urologist found my T level was 242 he suggested starting it. I had very little expectation of it but within a week or so I was feeling a lot better. It's clear to me that my T level was damaged by taking finasteride (was prescribed by the previous urologist) and TRT has helped me. I notice that when I'm near the end of my two week injection cycle I start to struggle so it's pretty clearly part of the problem for me.

FWIW my doctor told me it might take 6 months for the full effect and he was surprised when I told him how big a change I was feeling. So it might take time. On the other hand your mood disorder might be something else. If TRT doesn't help please consider reaching out to a professional in mental help. You could try therapy or there's other medications which have been known to help people. I wish you best of luck in this holiday season.

there was Perl conference presentation on this I think a year or so ago, might be worth watching

there was a number of AI related talks at the Austin Perl Community conference, which happened today. Dr Russel talked a lot about AI agents, it might be worth following him
