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.
Everyone knows about Asimov's laws of robotics, but little is said about the laws of robot manufacturing. For example, make sure to place red LEDs where the eyes are so we know when the robot gains sentience and turns evil.
oh my god why say `pkg-config exited with status code 127` instead of saying pkg-config is not installed oh my god

Wow. CVE database is in serious trouble, tomorrow.
The cyber industry as a whole is in trouble also really, it’s the elephant in the room - the collapse of the White House’s support for cybersecurity is obvious and pronounced due to widespread cutbacks.

Looks like it's fediverse Nazi Niemöller Poem Day again.
Repeat this post forever.
#infosec people, THIS is big and you need it in front of management RIGHT NOW.
MITRE has informed the CVE board members that effective TONIGHT, funding to run CVE and CWE is effectively gone. The US federal government contracts MITRE to run these programs including both management, operations, and infrastructure.
This not only could but almost certainly will result in disruptions to CVE and CWE including a halt of all operations if new contracts/funding are not secured.
ハーバード大学に寄付したいところだけど自己満足にしかならないよなあ…
hardest part of any decentralized standard is getting everyone on the same page, so i was wondering if it made sense to have a central body to at least coordinate among stakeholders. is that a good thing or a bad thing or a necessary thing or an avoidable thing. all i know is that if a central body doesn't have the authority to actually steward anything then what's the point.

fedi, please help me decide something. i need to make a portfolio of web dev projects for job reasons, i'm a bit torn between whether i should add a section for that to my existing personal website, or make a new separate website that's more "professional".
if you haven't seen it this is my personal website: https://palomakop.tv -- it's more geared towards art and stuff and also maybe a bit quirky for some design tastes, but it's also very "me" so could go either way.

idk how hot this take is but the adoption of omemo seems to have not meaningfully improved the security of xmpp communications while meaningfully degrading the reliability of xmpp communications

I'm surprised to learn that the whole enclosure is not a simple shell, but integral part of the battery and controller assembly.

Hi all,
Some discussion regarding NodeBB's handling of soft deleted posts and Discourse's parallel implementation prompted the creation of this FEP, which attempts to describe how the concept of soft deletion can be published without the introduction of new activities—using as:Delete as-is and relying on a backreference check for Tombstone in order to signal a soft delete.

“Hello! I am a developer. Here is my relevant experience: I code in Hoobijag and sometimes jabbernocks and of course ABCDE++++ (but never ABCDE+/^+ are you kidding? ha!) and I like working with Shoobababoo and occasionally kleptomitrons. I’ve gotten to work for Company1 doing Shoobaboo-ing code things and that’s what led me to the Snarfus. So, let’s dive in!

Apparently the Wedge Coop in #Minneapolis is trying to ban their employees from wearing political pin buttons at work, in response to a lot of employees wearing Palestine pins. I'm sure this will go well for them

rant, Destiny 2, Bungie
Got to love the death spiral of Destiny (and Bungie generally).
I'm a player that was there for the story.
The story has gotten worse and worse (as they move from writers actually nailing things to the modern writing that is just that meme "looking at the audience while turning a dial" style.).
They tease cool things, but then basically don't announce when it's happening until it happens.
And now they're shoving Marathon at every corner and quite frankly: I don't want to play an always PVP game, I definitely won't _pay_ for a PVP only game, so I guess I'll just fuck off.
