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’ve said it before, but my biggest pet peeve and #1 way to make me dismiss your complaints is saying that we—open source software developers—don’t care. I’m not a billion dollar corporation. I’m not even a million dollar corporation. Most years I’m not even a $100k corporation. The *only* reason I do this at all is because I care.

"At the heart of these alternative apps lies the Fediverse platform — a portmanteau of "federated" and "universe" that represents a radical reimagining of how social media can work. Unlike traditional platforms where users are locked into isolated ecosystems, the Fediverse operates as an interconnected network of independent servers that communicate with each other through a standard protocol called ."

家からある場所まででかけて行って帰ってくるという経験、わりと厚みのある経験だけど、よくないなと思うギャラリーとか展示は一歩入って全体がわかってしまう。そこで時間を過ごすことができないと、「出かけていった」という労苦のほうがデカくて不満に感じる。場所の大きさはあんまり関係なくて、小さくても複雑さを感じる空間はある。

家からある場所まででかけて行って帰ってくるという経験、わりと厚みのある経験だけど、よくないなと思うギャラリーとか展示は一歩入って全体がわかってしまう。そこで時間を過ごすことができないと、「出かけていった」という労苦のほうがデカくて不満に感じる。場所の大きさはあんまり関係なくて、小さくても複雑さを感じる空間はある。

アートギャラリーって、客に対してはタダで見せてるという意識にギャラリー側はなりがちだとおもうんだけど(ほかの人がどうなのかしらないけど)、客側の主観的意識はぜんぜんそうではなく、交通費も時間もかけてその場所まで行っている。このコストについての主観的意識は、立地の良し悪しとはあまり関係がない気がする。一見辺境っぽくても、いろんな人にとってだいたいの場所は遠いのだから(心理的にも物理的にも)、場所自体が辺境っぽいかどうかはあまり関係がない。

아직 초반인데도 굉장함. 지금 우리가 일베/디씨/아카라이브/펨코를 통해 겪고 있는 거의 모든 일들이, 그리고 트위터에서 페미니즘과 관련해서 일어났던 황당한 사건의 흐름들이 전세계적으로 이미 거의 같은 패턴으로 발생하고 있었다는 것. 그리고 그런 흐름이 결국 트럼프가 (그리고 어쩌면 이준석이) 대통령이 될 수 있게 만들었다는 것.

I had the BEST time today at . It was really inspiring and energizing to connect face-to-face with people championing the Fediverse and working tirelessly to create better online spaces - away from Big Tech’s closed silos.

It was also SUPER COOL to meet IRL people I had been corresponding with online. Thanks for coming up to say hi :)

Feeling hopeful for the future ✨🚀

Si el Universo es determinista, estamos en la situación del Dios mecánico, un clásico. Pero si no lo fuera, si de verdad existiera algo aleatorio, ¿tendríamos los humanos acceso a ello, o seguiríamos comportándonos como si hubiera un Dios (mecánico)?
¿No pasamos de hecho la mayor parte del tiempo intentando huir de esa aleatoriedad y urdiendo planes súper inteligentes y rebuscados para hacer y justificar nuestra voluntad de la forma más lógica y previsible posible?

alc, drugs, talking about intoxication

another factor in why i drink the way i do is that while being tipsy is alright i actively dislike being drunk. it's for a similar reason that i dislike most weed, particularly sativas, actually. in both cases i can feel my brain slowing down and it is intensely uncomfortable and distracting, so whatever other pleasant effects might be happening i cannot possibly enjoy or even notice

like people say you can't tell you're impaired when you're drunk but I Can and It Sucks

인싸를 죽여라 온라인 극우주의, 혐오와 조롱으로 결집하는 정치 감수성의 탄생 ridibooks.com/books/852001... 미국에서 2017년에 나온 책이라는데, 지금 들어가기 읽고 있는데 벌써 굉장하네요. 게임하려다 아픈 눈 붙들고 보고 있음. 전자책으로 살 걸. "실력자로 포장됐으나 실제로는 '트잉여'에 불과한 자가 기득권 세력의 도움 없이 백악관에 입성했다." 한국이야?

Apple love to preach "the UI gets out of the way of your content" with each new redesign, but how true is that in practice? Let's compare the total height of the Safari UI with a toolbar, favourites bar and tab bar visible, across the three latest Mac OS design languages – Yosemite, Big Sur and now Tahoe. I've added a red line for emphasis.

It sure looks to me like the UI is eating more into my content with each redesign.

Collage of three screenshots, showing a comparison of the upper left corner of Safari between Mac OS 10.10–10.15, 11–15 and 26. With each redesign, the Safari UI gets taller.

I'm designing a simple arduino-mozzi-based synth and I'm surprised that virtually none of the projects or examples I found are dealing with (or even mentioning) the fact that PWM audio output has a significant DC offset. I guess I learned something since I built my first similar DIY synth sometime during the COVID lockdowns
