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.
Nicole just showed up to my ActivityPub-enabled WordPress blog, what do I do?
Certain models of Lenovo laptops now ship with Fedora and Ubuntu Linux. This is done to keep costs low and cater to developers or IT professionals who heavily rely on Linux. Another reason could be the increased unpopularity of Windows 11 in recent times due unwanted features like "AI" or "Recall", but that is just my own wild guess ;) LOL. Would you buy it?

沒錯！本人我於西元2025年4/17日的凌晨1:30分醒來👍（仍然努力調作息中）
我發覺無論是口語還是書寫，只要是在需要溝通的語境下，我都極度的在意他人的看法，導致自己在闡述前就先自我審查一輪。我目前推測是因為我的價值觀是建立於他人對我的評價、需求、標籤之上的，但我不想這樣，我想要建立一個屬於自己的價值及信仰體系，所以我選擇踏出第一步，也就是嘟盡量都發公開。
但我剛剛在思考，我的文字會不會讓人感覺我在討拍，但這不是我想被解讀的形象。
我抗拒的是我「討拍」的這個標籤，我也不想被同情。我會這樣表達是因為，我始終相信只要自己表達的夠透徹，將自己剖析、翻譯，就一定會有人理解。我追求的始終是理解，而不是安慰。

The UCL Faculty of Laws conference this summer on Jeremy Bentham's "A Picture of the Treasury" is now open for registration! If you're in London in late July, this will be a real treat. The speakers and hosts include many of my favorite people in Bentham studies, and the new publication that this conference celebrates is absolutely fascinating.
If you are a British trans person, join a trade union. If they come for you in the workplace, you will need a big stick.
When it happened to me, I was very glad of my union membership.

If anyone else is looking to leave #Spotify and (re-)build a proper MP3 collection from scratch – I just discovered this extremely handy tool for exporting Spotify playlists into CSV files:
GitHub: https://github.com/watsonbox/exportify
(I'm aware that Spotify lets you export your playlists in one big JSON file, but even converted to CSV it's a hot mess. Exportify's CSVs are per-playlist and listed just the way you'd expect it. 👌)

I'm making a LISP-like language. What should I call the function that creates a function
(Note: There is for now no "defun". Defining a function will look like (set 'funcname (fn '(arg1 arg2) '(local1 local2) '(print (+ arg1 local1))). These ergonomics aren't up for reconsideration.)

Habe Post vom Petitionsausschuss des Bundestages bekommen.
Zur Erinnerung: 2024 hieß es noch für ein #AfDverbot gäbe es "keinen parlamentarischen. Handlungsbedarf", und verwarf mit dieser Begründung alle Petitionen für ein Verbot der Nazipartei.
In 2025 sind wir einen Schritt weiter:
Im (auszugsweise zitierten) Schreiben erklärt sich der Petitionsausschuss für "verfassungsrechtlich nicht befugt" eine Abstimmung zu einem Prüfverfahren im Plenum auf die Tagesordnung zu bringen.
Ich möge mich doch bitte direkt an die Fraktionen wenden. 🤡🤷
[Das ist im Ergebnis zwar das Gleiche, aber stilistisch riecht man schon sehr wo die Reise mit 150 Faschist*innen und noch mehr Steigbügelhaltern im Parlament jetzt hingeht.]

In case you missed it, Bluesky is apparently caving to an authoritarian government:
➡️ https://mas.to/@osma/114346166890552471
This is why the Fediverse is so important: each Fedi server is totally independent, servers communicate directly with each other, anyone can set up a server anywhere.
Bluesky posts all flow through Bluesky's own corporate relay which is impossible to bypass, making censorship easy.
:Fediverse: No one controls the Fediverse

AI isn’t always the cheaper option.
In my interview with lexicographer and Wordnik founder Erin McKean (
@emckeanErin McKean), we talked about what AI means for dictionaries, and she pointed out that “Lexicographers are way cheaper than AI engineers. By an order of magnitude.”
Sure, LLMs can sometimes speed things up. But tuning, deploying, and maintaining those models isn’t always more efficient than hiring humans.

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

On the plane to Montreal! Can't wait to get home.
以往隨處可見、
成群的台灣麻雀，
近年只剩部分地區能看到。
想紀錄下來，提醒自己，
許多我們習以為常的事物，
稍不注意，就會消失，
生態如此，民主也是。
台灣，是台灣人的台灣！

Thanks to 
@sbidoulStéphane Bidoul , pip 25.1 will have a `pip lock` command that uses `pylock.toml`!
https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/13213
pip-tools has started looking at if they can leverage it.

pip-audit has support in 2.9.0 .

@frostming has a PR for 'packaging' to add the required marker support (I assume for PDM support). It's getting really close to being merged.
https://github.com/pypa/packaging/pull/888
I'm a bit relieved there's uptake of pylock.toml already!

This week Semios/Almanac laid off an estimated 10% of headcount, including yours truly just today.
It wasn't a surprise, but that doesn't make it suck less.
Which is to say: I'm now 100% available for full time, contract, paid speaking, board, advisory positions. #OpenSource, #BusinessStrategy, #BizOps, #Standards, #Leadership, etc.
