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.

Happy 19th birthday to my bicycle. I take absolutely no care of you. I leave you out in the rain. I ram you through snow and mud and up and down kerbs. I make you drag stuff too heavy for you. I rarely remember to feed you with oil and air. I fling you onto trains and into hedges and into any space you fit, or don’t. And yet you always work, cost little to maintain and nothing to run. And you give me easy exercise. And I will never be too old not to think Wheeee! as I freewheel you downhill.

My trusty faithful old silver-coloured Kildemoes bike parked alongside other bikes at a bike rack, a rucksack in the big silver aluminium basket. It’s a city bike, a comfy sit-up-and-beg bike with big wide handlebars. The bikes here are all higgeldy-piggeldy, parked in different directions instead of in the actual wheel slots. Not because we’re edgy and cool, but because the racks were full earlier so some bikes had to be parked willy-nilly wherever you could find space. There are winter leaves on the ground; the edge of a nice big old tree trunk to the left; an empty side road beyond; and across from us, trees at the edge of the woods.

For my library and CLI projects, I've been writing documentation before writing any code. It helps me imagine the final interface early on, which usually leads to better design. Sure, sometimes I miss implementation details and have to revise later, but hey—it's just docs. Docs are easy to change.

This tiny habit has surprisingly big payoffs. When I focus on how things will be used rather than how they'll be built, I end up with interfaces that actually make sense.

Anyone else do this? Curious about your experience with documentation-first approaches.

My Easter treat has been to work on my silly hosted-at-home retro website. It now features actual content, animated GIFs, and photos of pineapples!

There's a few dynamic pages under cgi-bin, although they are not actually CGI scripts—they are generated by a Rust program. The dynamic content includes live energy stats, climate info, and memory & uptime info. I still want to fill out the content some more, but I also need to do other things.

Screenshot of my retro themed website, "Wes' Nonsense Website", open in IE4 on Mac OS 8.1. There's a happy sun animated GIF at the top of the page and a menu of links to Computers, Calculators, Pineapples, and Sunshine Coast. Under that is a News section and live energy stats about the server.

Don’t go read the The Guardian coverage of the recent UK Supreme Court ruling, or their JKR puff piece, unless you’re prepared to read raw hate. It’s so bad I can’t link because I care about y’all’s mental health. DO NOT give them ANY money until they publish retractions.

【11年後,我們又在街頭相遇:318太陽花到419守護台灣,與我們的民主轉骨】
昨天剛參加完「419守護台灣,拒絕統戰」遊行,亢奮到有點睡不著。
滑著手機,突然看到昨天凱道上有個熟悉溫暖的笑容,有點眼熟⋯⋯好像在哪裡看過。

欸?這不是我2014年太陽花運動的時候街頭遇到的阿姨嗎?

我馬上翻出當年的文章,反覆對照著各個網友分享的照片,幾乎確定就是她,心頭瞬間湧起難以形容的激動。
我們,竟然在11年後,以這樣的方式,再次「重逢」在街頭。

她還在。我也還在。我們都沒有離開。

<The Image of the City>를 읽었다.

도시 공부하는 사람들이 반드시 한 번은 읽는다는 그 책. 개인이 도시에 대한 갖는 심상, 즉 '도시 이미지'를 명확하게 만듦으로써 좋은 도시 환경을 설계할 수 있다는 것이 케빈 린치의 이론이다.

왜 광교에 사는 사람이 ‘수원시 산다고 안하고 광교 산다고 하는지’ 다시 생각해봤다. 경기도의 신도시 거주민들에게 형성된 도시 이미지가 그렇다. 지하철역을 정점으로 만들어지는 상업지역, 서울로 향하는 대중교통 노선, 고속도로가 만드는 경계, 이 모든 것이 구도심과의 단절을 일으킨다. social.silicon.moe/@parksb/113

Once at work, back in 2005 I wanted to run a newer ssh on one of these. I went to boot an OpenBSD CD but realized the external SCSI CDROM drive didn't actually work or boot, but the ethernet worked fine so I ended up netbooting NetBSD (for whatever reason I couldn't netboot OpenBSD).

NetBSD started up fine and ran great on the 40 MHz CPU. 😂👍

트랜스젠더가 여자화장실에 습격하여 범죄를 저지른다는 평행세계를 보는동안 현실세계에서는 시스남성들이 여자화장실에 침입하여 실제로 성범죄를 저지릅니다 저딴식으로 혐오를 하는 것들은 실제 범죄가 더 일어나길 바라는 것들임.
