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.

A long time ago, I saw the first bits of Swift be used for the Swift compiler, looked cool.

Then I blinked for a second, and a massive chunk is now written in Swift!

Pretty sweet.

@MigueldeicazaMiguel de Icaza ᯅ🍉 If we’re doing our jobs well, nobody will ever notice that we’re doing this. But it’s making things cleaner and more robust and so much nicer to work on, bit by bit. You pointed at the optimizer bits; we’re also doing new-parser and related work over in github.com/swiftlang/swift/tre.

明日はアクアブリーダーズフェスタってのがあるらしくて、割りと行くの楽しみにしてたけど、オイカワが短期間で大きくなってきてるのとやっぱり流れのある場所で広々と泳ぐ魚やから今の飼育ケースやと狭過ぎると判断して、早めに新たな水槽(小型ではあるものの)立ち上げせねばならんので今回はイベント行くの見送る事にした​:ablobcatnodmeltcry:
どのみち新しい生体お迎えする余裕は無いし、何よりまずは目の前の子達が快適に過ごせる様にするのが飼い主としてのお仕事やもんね

今天正好在台電大樓的加羅林魚木附近用餐,幾年前來看時還是圍牆封起,現在旁邊有完整告示和介紹,歡迎大家親近這棵可愛的老樹。幸福感的組成要件之一包含了不時體驗對自然的敬畏,我們站在這邊遠看不同生命的尺度、近看美麗的枝葉繁花、用鼻子大口吸進香氣、用掌心接住飄零的花瓣,覺得,很幸福喔!

アクアリウム関係、調べれば調べる程に人によって真逆の事書いてたりするし、書いてる内容も個体差とかで全く通用せんかったりするので、結局は大まかに参考にする程度で目の前の子達としっかり対話しながらやっていくしか無いと悟った​:blobcat_frustration:

There's been a lot of fretting recently—some of it from me—about there being Too Much Politics On Here, encouraging people to (A) stop posting so much about it and (B) post about other things. This is a valid concern but I want to take a moment to put a structural lens on this problem.

@glyph this is maybe orthogonal to your thread but a bit of a rhetorical puzzle I've been chewing on lately is how to concisely and memorably communicate "stress is literally physically painfully destroying my body, please, I'm begging you, stop posting misleading Headlines and panic speculation if you're going to talk about current events don't crowd source debunking misinformation please just put in the 30 minutes of rigor yourself" without it reading or reducing to "duh hur im apolitical"

We talk a lot about the negative aspects of (sigh) "algorithms", but *this is a thing that "algorithms" can do too*, and in the absence of such a tool, we need to do it ourselves; it will not happen automatically, because there's no automation to do it.

Be the boost you want to see in the world.

This is a couple of days past, but I couldn't get my spoons together enough to write this till now.

Many of you know James Lopeman, mostly by the name of Meflin. He's a @ThePSFPython Software Foundation Fellow, been an Admin and Mentor for , and been around the open source world, quietly in the background as is his way, for many many a year.

Meflin passed somewhat suddenly on Wednesday the 16th.

It was natural causes nothing too crazy there.

He was the absolute pinnacle of why, we in the open source world, need to care more about the folks who don't code. Those that deal with infrastructure, or people, or anything else that isn't just the code. We are fundamentally better off with them in our communities.

So in his honor, go drink some tea, be a giant grump, and remind folks that "No. is a complete sentence".

In the words of Terry Pratchett:

GNU James "Meflin" Lopeman

Share around, because I think this is bigger than just him, but I think everyone needs to hear what he at least meant to me.
