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.

Un detalle que llevo observando estos últimos años, y que va en aumento, es la confusión por parte de mucha gente (especialmente jóvenes) de la señal WiFi con Internet en general.

Cuando no les va bien su ordenador conectado por cable, dicen que no les va bien la WiFi. También hay confusión con la conexión de datos móviles (4G o 5G) a la que llaman WiFi.

Serán cosas de informático viejuno que ha vivido en épocas cableadas y pre-Internet, y tal vez también de profe, pero me suele chirriar. Pero en fin, para eso estamos, para explicar las cosas :-)

AI is one of the most horrific risks to human civilization in history. NOT because some imaginary super intelligent AI would take over the world, but because Big Tech CEOs are using generative AI to utterly destroy the ability of anyone to trust information. These billionaire CEOs -- who Trump accurately says are "kissing his ass" -- are "poisoning the well" of our information society, while decimating their workforces, screwing society, and smiling all the way to the bank.

@jimJim Killock They're all generally internally consistent and interoperable. My point re authn/z, was that for example doesn't define particular mechanisms, which is why an independently developed AP-client and AP-server can't talk to each other. Ditto AP-server w/ another AP-server. That's based on spec, as opposed to specific implementations agreeing on terms prior to communication / out of band. What's out there is mostly a software implementation offering both AP-client and AP-server.

I’ll try to bring more positive things into my timeline.

While there’s a lot of shit going on, I think it’s important to not lose sight of the small good and great things.

this afternoon my brain is going to repl-driven development, and also smalltalk-style vm development ... is the reason the former isn't super popular and the latter died out because they are basically balls of mutable state? which ends up being hard to scale?

More interesting angle to your question, maybe why asked, is to "reimagine forums" in our new age of social networking.

Yesterday I had a discussion about blocks.githubnext.com "Reimagine repositories". Great ideation starting point. What is a repository actually? Container of a solution? Or .. what?

Maybe a forum is single-person software, attached to the social graph of the social web? Tapping into activity streams and knowledge bases. To 'slice' our personalized community views?

@smallcircles@social.coop personally, I feel that asking people to post or continue a discussion on another platform is a roadblock that shouldn't need to exist.

You can't do it on Discourse, but in NodeBB you can "categorize" a topic, even if it came from the microblog-fedi. Similarly to how you can import a reply tree into another Mastodon instance. That's the difference, that the software should support something like this, although I get that that's not always important to every piece of software. Discourse does technically support two-way federation, replies are sent and received, but it primarily broadcasts content. You can't currently browse fedi from Discourse.

Things get a little more confusing if a topic is already categorized, like a Lemmy/Piefed post in a community, so I expect some of that to change in the coming months.

End of the day it would look something like "cross-posting" as currently exists on the threadiverse.

My cousin seems to think my fears about Pierre Pollieve taking away women's rights and building concentration camps are overblown. I reminded her that Trump is literally sending US citizens to concentrations camps. No due process, nothing.

Her response?

"They can't just take people off the street. There must be a reason they are taking them."

And this my friends, is how Nazi Germany happened.

Over 350 academic historians have signed an open letter condemning “attacks on the LGBTQIA+ community” from the Labour government.
Published on Friday (2 May), the open letter expresses significant concerns over the government’s treatment of trans issues following a UK Supreme Court ruling which excludes people from the legal definitions of women and sex in the 2010 Equality Act.

If you write code to make websites (HTML, CSS, JS, Web API, Media files, etc), and you get frustrated trying to wrangle your code to work in Safari, which bugs are blocking you? Which existing features would you most like to see improved? If you got a chance to order priorities, what bug fixing effort would you put at the top of the list?

New instance, new introduction!

I am curious about many things, and wish I had the time to practice everything, but some of the activities that have consistently been bringing joy to me are: baking bread and pastries, long-distance hiking, programming, folding paper, juggling, learning things, and listening to people talking about their passions!

For a living, I work in academia, currently as a post-doctoral researcher at Inria. I am using mathematical modeling, Bayesian statistics and scientific computing to solve biological problems usually involving bacteria.

I wish I could not care about politics, but I feel compelled to act and express my opinions by the state of the world. I am deeply appalled and terrified about the ongoing environmental and social emergencies. I am still trying to figure out how to best act in order to be the most helpful on these fronts.

I strongly believe in the Commons: public services, open access and open source, and I am involved in the development of several scientific open source packages, hoping that this is an effective way to use my skills and energy to help improve the world.

I have been on Mastodon for a couple of years now and I really like it here, thank you for having me 😊 ❤️
