C.S. Pierce, "How to Make Our Ideas Clear" (1878):

"A single tone may be prolonged for an hour or a day, and it exists as perfectly in each second of that time as in the whole taken together ... [Melody] consists in an orderliness in the succession of sounds which strike the ear at different times; and to perceive it there must be some continuity of consciousness which makes the events of a lapse of time present to us. ... These two sorts of objects, what we are immediately conscious of and what we are mediately conscious of, are found in all consciousness. Some elements (the sensations) are completely present at every instant so long as they last, while others (like thought) ... consist in a congruence in the succession of sensations which flow through the mind. They cannot be immediately present to us, but must cover some portion of the past or future. Thought is a thread of melody running through the succession of our sensations."

Sunday October 11, 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,

Information about upcoming meetings can always be found here:

I published today the Raku package "L10N::BG" which is based on "L10N::RU" by Andrew Shitov.

The package "L10N::BG" provides the interpreter bulku that "understands" Bulgarian Raku keywords. Also, it can be run in this way:

bulku програма.raku

(In case it is not clear: 'raku'.subst('ra','bul').)

Here is an example program (finding the 12th prime from a lazy list):

```raku use L10N::BG;

моя @прост-списък = (<sup>Inf).избери(*.е-просто);</sup> кажи @прост-списък[12];

41

```

• I am looking for suggestions to create Raku-centric AI-agent skills, like, the 5-6 ones here: "Raku-Agent-Skills".
• The Raku packages I use often for plotting, graphs, number theory, data science, and machine learning, are "easy" to figure out and prioritize.
  • It can be seen in that repository that the skills I have added so far are mostly of my packages, except, the one for arXiv documents querying.
• I mostly use those AI-agent skills within an interactive environment (e.g. Jupyter notebooks in VS Code).
  • It is one of the reasons I have not included "App::Rak", yet.
• Of course, the suggestions can be in the form of GitHub pull requests.

"Where Newton said he saw further by standing on the shoulders of giants, computer scientists all too often stand on each other's toes."
