What is Hackers' Pub?

welp, Kim and I now own a retired police cruiser

@cwebber@social.coopChristine Lemmer-Webber a datacenter is a little like an activity pub, which is a place where activities get together to share in the warm glow of companionship, except this time the activities are data.

🚀 New blog post: “🐘 Finding My People (Again) on Mastodon”
I was a longtime Twitter fan, but the algorithmic mess pushed me away. Mastodon was a joy — and self-hosting my own instance? Even better. 💜
Curious about reclaiming your social space?

Customers are clear: they need compute infrastructure they can verify and audit. Not mystery code in proprietary firmware.When you can inspect every layer of your infrastructure, you're not just running servers – you're running a system you can trust AND verify.

I just saw somebody refer to a human person, like an actual meat-and-bone possessed-of-inalienable-rights-and-inherent-dignity human person, as "agentic".

Bernard Avishai once famously said that the danger of computers is not that they will eventually get as smart as people, but that we will meanwhile agree to meet them halfway, and I think about that every day. Not just in terms of smarts, but dignity, kindness and decency.

As much a fan as I’ve been of Open Source (not FOSS), I’ve been coming around to the realization that it’s a collaboration between the industry and thought leaders to convince free software developers to work for free. https://gts.superseriousbusiness.org/@dumpsterqueer/statuses/01JYH4NPSJTDK3N5XQD2121TG8

I do use AI — though you can see a bit more about my thoughts in roe.dev/blog/using-ai-in-open-source. I tend to use it for: ⚪️ automations (@n8n.io) ⚪️ agent-coding (copilot) ⚪️ code review (@coderabbitai.bsky.social) I use it to _augment_ (running in 'background'). lots more to say tho … !

if we let individual people own corners of human creativity, we'll never get scenes. culture won't be able to advance. but also, they gotta somehow make a living

I find it fascinating that the response to the latest "outage" has been "ThE sUpPLy ChAiN!!!" rather than "WebPKI is a fundamentally broken mess".

Some impressive mental gymnastics going on among those who understood the incident and nonetheless reached this nonsensical conclusion.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with corporate interest permeating the discourse. /s

I met one of those guys who maintains a large COBOL codebase over the weekend. He's pretty happy with his job, is close enough to retirement that he'll be able to just keep doing this until then. Even though we only chatted for a few minutes, it was neat.

I'm writing my book on Python performance using Quarto (https://quarto.org/) and it's really great technical writing environment out of the box.

But beyond that, it's also extremely customizable.

Each document (an article or chapter) can be a Jupyter notebook, and I have written custom Jupyter magics that e.g. benchmark different functions and generate markdown tables of the results.

So e.g. I'd write:

```{python}
#| echo: false
%%compare_timing --measure=instructions
function1(DATA)
function2(DATA)
```

And it will benchmark both functions and render a Markdown table that shows mean elapsed time and mean CPU instructions.

Rendering the book, including running benchmarks and formatting their results, is completely automated.
