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.

I have the ssh movie player back online!

This is running on a custom ssh server built using russh as the backend. To convert frames, I used the python tv package, subtitling and playback is all custom.

You'll need a terminal that supports 24 bit color.

Try it! ssh ansi.rya.nc

A computer screen can be seen with a map of the New England states, with some illegible labels and menu items.

I never noticed this until today. At the very very end of our Q&A session, the Cooper Hall editors intentionally overlaid this specific song with this specific lyric, where the fair use song cutoff time limit makes a dramatic point: "without love..." (end video) "where would you be right now?" 💛 youtube.com/watch?v=ouwlIHkXCw

The combined Latitude, Declination, LHA grid didn't work, so instead I've added the normal S/ST, and T/T1/T2 scales to allow computation of Hc and Z from the corrected sextant height.

front and back of a simulated circular slide rule with lots of circles of numbers and some diagrams showing how to compute position from celestial measurements

Printed and laminated a prototype of my solar slide rule on 350g A3 at the local print shop and it works fairly well! Correcting sextant height for index error, temperature, refraction, height of eye and lower limb is fast, as is computing latitude from the noon sight. Computing Hc and Z is a bit more involved (using additional scales on the reverse side)

🎮 From Pac-Man to Nosh Kosh—retro games shaped generations. But many are vanishing.

Only 13% of classic games from 1960–2009 are still available. Some, like Jewish educational games by Yaakov Kirschen, who died on April 14 at 87, were almost lost forever.

Journalist Josh Renaud @kirkmanJosh Renaud explains why preserving niche software matters in the latest essay from the Vanishing Culture report.

엑스와 쓰레드에서 모나드글을 가끔 올려서, 함수형 프로그래머분들을 "낚는데요". (이 거 좀 더 좋은 표현이 없을까요? ㅎ) 방금 전, SICP 역자 분으로 보이는 분(추정)이 팔로우를 해주셨네요! 해커스펍으로 모셔 오려고 하는데, 쓰레드는 DM이 없나봐요.
