What is Hackers' Pub?

Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.

I recently read "short-term delivery is prioritized over long-term maintainability". In my head I translated to "cashflow is prioritized over optionality".

That's the decision from an investor perspective. We programmers experience it as "I have to wade through moist garbage forever & you don't care", but it's really a business decision. They're paying you money so they don't have to care.

That said, it's possible to get the business decision wrong, even fatally wrong, either direction. A balance that is maximizes the chance for survival when a product is new may lead to sclerosis when it is mature.

SudoVanilla hasn't had a donation since May 2024.

If you want to support SudoVanilla and it's projects, that would be great.

I would like to also afford new hardware in the future for the server, SudoVanilla's only server runs on 2 cores which is always overloaded.

LETTERS TO FRED

„Zwei Liedprogramme an einem Tag spannten einen Bogen von Lebenslust, Poesie und gerechtem Zorn am Vormittag zu trauerndem Andenken am Abend. Zwei Freundinnen erlebten dies gemeinsam, Megan Marie Hart auf den Bühnen, Joanne Herzberg im Publikum.“

❤️ Vielen Dank, lieber Detlef Obens & @opernmagazin!

I owe y'all another one...

UPDATE 2:

I am currently still at the place of a close friend of mine, although I was supposed to leave at the earliest today (so, after 2 weeks) and at the latest in 2 weeks (so, after 4 weeks)

If anyone has space, or advice, please reach out! I cannot make it alone on the streets.

by now I do have a DeutschlandTicket, so distance does not really matter as much as long as there is a reliable connection from Frankfurt Hbf, I will have this ticket until March 28th.

With the donations that came in, I've bought myself some more clothes (primarily, a sweater to keep warm whilst the one I previously had can be washed as well as underwear), food and misc niceties, and now have enough left to pay for next month's DeutschlandTicket and a little extra (think 20-40€)

I do not have WhatsApp, but I am available on Signal at alexia.42 or anywhere listed on my website

Horseshoe crabs (order Xiphosura, "sword-tail"), which date back at least 450 million years, are older than:

- crabs* (~200 million years ago)
- horses (~50 mya, tops)
- horseshoes (~1000 years ago, tops)
- swords (the _xiphos_ is Iron Age; ~1200 ya)

Not tails though. :horseshoe_crab:

* that's right, horseshoe crabs are not crabs. They are more closely related to arachnids and, according to some recent work, may even be more closely related to some arachnids than some arachnids are to each other, which you could think of as "horseshoe crabs are arachnids" but which really means "the group 'arachnids' isn't a true group and we need to make a new category." However, other work supports the traditional "family tree" with them solidly outside arachnids. At any rate, they are in the branch of arthropods called Chelicerata (also including arachnids and sea spiders) rather than Mandibulata (crustaceans, insects, etc.; all the other arthropods.)

Welcome to the shed my new beepyboopy friend!

This is a “GPO Modem 2B” - a … phone line in, RS232 out at a whopping 300bps!

It’s all discrete components (no ICs here!) and beautifully built with all the diodes/resistors mounted on little plastic carriers.

The modulator, demodulator etc are on separate, pull-out cards

It’s a gorgeous chunk of engineering, that I’ll be carefully powering up over the next few weeks!

Thanks for the swap @anachrocomputerJohn Honniball

A large, brownish grey box (about 17” wide, 6” tall) with a black rectangular GPO label on one rndLifting the front panel reveals four removable modules that slide into the chassis.  They’re light straw coloured (a yellowish cream) and from left to right are labelled power supply, control unit, modulator and demodulator.  There are various indicators, controls, and test points availableSame view again, but with a hand pulling one of the modules forwards out of the chassisA close up of a brown PCB adorned with transistors, resistors, diodes etc all mounted in little clear plastic carriers

On todays episode of “I’m ill so I’m going to watch a slow old film for the first time”:
Blade Runner.

I tried it several years ago and had no idea what was going on 20m in. I’m doing better this time. (I know it’s had a million edits, maybe I was watching a bad one that time?)

Whoaaaaa, what does this mean?

In the man page for `screencapture(1)` (on macOS), it says this:

> To capture screen content while logged in via ssh, you must launch screencapture in the same mach bootstrap hierarchy as loginwindow:
> PID=pid of loginwindow
> sudo launchctl bsexec $PID screencapture [options]

Wtf is a mach bootstrap hierachy? Apparently it's something related to `launchctl bsexec`?

Something to research! A thread to pull!

続編の、異聞の種

壇ノ浦に潜るあまの五百の一族
ここには光は無いけれど、こんなにも、音がある
無の面
シテと呼ばれる主役が着ける 面は特別
面をつければ力を持てるという発想
平家谷に潜り、物語を拾う 壇ノ浦に潜り合戦のゆかりの物を拾うように
犬王の『重盛』のシテは貞能
殺された琵琶法師の怨霊を成仏させると美を取り戻す
『腕塚』平忠度
『鯨』🐬 生者でもあり亡者でもあるシテ あわいを活用する犬王
最初の約束を違えるのだな? じゃあ おまえが壊れろ

uspol, erasure

The National Park Service has a page for the Stonewall Uprising. They just changed LGBTQ+ to LGB on that page, erasing transgender and queer folks.

This cannot go unanswered. The first Pride was a riot. Let them feel our fire again.
