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.

Most of you are familiar with the concept of phones, desktops, or servers, routers being hacked, right? Now, it's becoming known that doctors can effectively 'hack' the nervous system using ultrasound to fix conditions like inflammation and diabetes, among others. How cool is that? spectrum.ieee.org/focused-ultr

Trying to reload a lot of code I wrote a long time ago into my head for code review purposes. @tsyesikaJessica Tallon is working on some interesting changes in response to @kriskowalKris Kowal 🧙‍♂️ and @kumavis having proposed some changes to the spec, and those changes look promising based @tsyesikaJessica Tallon's experiments. We'll see!

OCapN work has been really heating up lately as the Endo folks have been doing their own implementation! It's an exciting time!

Dieses Jahr war ich zum ersten Mal auf der @republicare:publica – ein in jeder Hinsicht eindrückliches Erlebnis. Noch nie stand ich auf einer so grossen Bühne vor einem so grossen Publikum. Vermutlich hat man mir meine Aufregung angemerkt. Aber es war toll, so viel und so positive Resonanz zu erfahren. Ganz herzlichen Dank an alle, die da waren! youtube.com/watch?v=JZpi6Irzvd

Thanks to I got great feedback on @badgefedThe BadgeFed Project ,exactly what I needed.

One hot topic: badge posts in public feeds. Some love seeing them all, others find them spammy.

In an ideal world, BadgeFed would *privately* issue badges, and folks could *choose* to share them, with boost/quote options or a “Share to my Fediverse” button. (This is not technically possible right now, not without some hard user friction).

But even then, if 500 people *choose* to share, it’s still 500 posts. Not spam, just… noisy.

My take? Let people filter. I'll force the instances to tagging awards with something like so you can mute/follow as you wish. The power of the fediverse is giving people choice.

Die Tagesschau-App und ich haben sehr unterschiedliche Vorstellungen davon, was eine "Eilmeldung" ist...
Die App sagt, man kann die abonnieren, um "nichts wichtiges zu verpassen", aber dann kommen Push-Notifications für sowas wie "ein Fernsehmoderator ist gestorben". Was ist daran eilig?
