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.
To QWERTY/Vim users: Your middle finger is longer than your index finger. That’s why Vim’s HJKL (on QWERTY) home row keybinding isn’t comfortable. I use U and H for moving the cursor up and down instead — it makes finger movement much smoother. Don’t cage your fingers on the home row.
mcc regrettably (& completely understandably) running into The Python Problem:
- it’s appealing to use for system tools, so core OS bits are often built with it (Ubuntu, RH yum, included by default in macOS, etc)
- also appealing for random user scripts
- single global package environment by default
- average user can’t be expected to have virtualenv knowledge
- now one’s user scripts are tightly coupled to the system tools interpreter
- aw, fuck, shit!!

New #GAKHED just dropped. I can't get enough of the original electronic music, short form analog video, subtile creepy vibes and cats of this channel. It's one banger after another IMO
I post about them all the time, if you haven't tried watching one yet, you should. It's short. Like a little vacation:
mrow!!

#Pikchr (pikchr.org) is a great little piece of software from the SQLite folks. It parses a little language for describing diagrams with boxes and lines and things, and puts out SVG.
#OrgMode (orgmode.org) has, among many other things, a way you can make code notebooks, #OrgBabel. Like #Jupyter, but less webby, and inside #Emacs, and supporting many languages - even multiple in the same document - thence its name.
Thanks to the ob-pikchr package by 
@SReyCoyrehourcq, Pikchr is one of the languages you can just write in the middle of your document this way.
Pikchr supports #darkmode, and I've just made a pull request that gets ob-pikchr in on the dark-mode game.

Many thanks to Sebastien for the help ob-pikchr has provided in diagramming my thoughts! You go use it too!

I have been thinking for a while about the issue of anonymity in Web3 (and, more in general, anonymous transactions). The growing realization of the damage caused by decentralized financial technologies is nagging my cypherpunk self, who has been at war for a lifetime against invasive tracking, manipulative marketing, and surveillance capitalism. I collected my thoughts here: https://gagliardoni.net/#20250427_privacy_compliance
Spoiler alert: I'm not endorsing backdoors, but I think some middleground solution must be found.

@mcc this is all true but the thing I hate about this situation is that there isn’t really a first-party or well-integrated consensus “good” python to use for your own purposes on linux. I really want python dot org to start providing one but we seem to be moving in the wrong direction for that

Hello, Fediverse! I recently moved from 
@arnelsonAdam Nelson and I'm now self-hosting Mastodon from a server in my living room!
I don't think I've actually posted an introduction before?
I'm Adam. I write code. In theory, I use Mastodon to talk about programming and tech and my own side projects (which I rotate constantly but never seem to finish).
In practice, I mostly use Mastodon to boost memes and talk about whatever video game I'm currently obsessed with. So if that's what you're here for, follow me!
I want cold
Just think of me as your misanthropic pixie dream girl, fediverse.
TARGET went hard into urban mostly Black and Latine communities. they figured out 20 years ago that Black and Latine companies have rabidly loyal clienteles, especially in beauty and haircare products. the best example is Carol’s Daughter which started as a humble stall in downtown Brooklyn and now sells millions nationwide.
and they threw it all away for Trump.

@lcamtuflcamtuf there’s always a basement dweller on HN with an interesting take on things.
Swift Concurrency has been a bumpy business
But yesterday, there I was, minding my own thread and wrote some code backed by my 30 years of experience and Swift was having none of it
Took me a moment to realize that the compiler was right, fixed the flaw and moved on with life
Nice progression: from wasting weeks tracking an obscure race condition that rarely ever happens, to fighting the compiler for half an hour, to accepting my role as a meat-based LLM that writes thread safe code

there's a couple seats where the greens will probably win, but they're definitely losing ground from the last election :(

@lcamtuflcamtuf If there was a property for the most ignorant thing you could say without recognizing your ignorance this would pretty much define the upper end. Up there with a comment from a Greenpeacer that went something like “if we could engineer a way to kill off 95% of the human population without destroying what’s left of the environment we could bring the Earth back into balance.”
