What is Hackers' Pub?

오늘이 생일이라는 것 같아

New Alsup decision dropped!

It's... not wonderful, but seems like a pretty reasonable conclusion to draw from shitty laws. It's also a good reminder that at *best* copyright is a tool to protect labor rights, and not in and of itself a thing to be given moral weight.

in other words, if i read the source of rails, and then do something similar in my app, if i need to attribute rails (due to MIT) is based on how similar it actually is.

As Prime Minister, Rutte was known for forgetting things ('I do not have an active memory of that') and for deleting text messages from his phone ('It does not have enough memory').

At least, this one is kept for the history books.

Clearly what Mastodon needs more of is Japanese tongue twisters, so here's one I learned tonight (I say "learned", but I'm not claiming I can say it unaided 😅).

東京特許許可局長
今日急遽休暇許可拒否

(とうきょうとっきょきょかきょくちょう
きょうきゅうきょきゅうかきょかきょひ)

"Tōkyō tokkyo kyoka kyokuchō kyō kyūkyo kyūka kyoka kyohi"

I think (not sure because it's not really a grammatically correct sentence and ambiguous, but I guess that's not the point) it means something like "Head of the Tokyo Patent Approval Office today suddenly denied the vacation approval".

Oops, I think I've gone a bit too deep into the #AI rabbit hole today 😳 (a thread 🧵):

Did you know why AI systems like #AlphaGo or #AlphaZero performed so well?
It was because of their _objective function_:
-1 for loosing, +1 for winning ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@NebulaTideDoerk @kbsez @_elenaElena Rossini ⁂ sure. But at least you can do it, here.

Thistle & Milkweed would be a great pub name. 🌸

「ジークアクス」最終話「だから僕は…」が展開は超加速した詰め込みっぷりだが、その結末には大満足の声ぞくぞく

@stefanoStefano Marinelli Didn't Meta fairly recently (within the last year or so) classify Linux as some sort of contraband? I don't remember if they had it down as spam, malware or something else, but it was definitely one major online platform classifying discussions about Linux as something like that, and I'm quite sure it was one of Meta's.

Yes. It's your own data. Own your data. Data you own.

When someone asks me what I did today:

Me: Nothing much.

What I did:
Washed, dried and folded whites.
Washed, dried and replaced bed linens.
Rowed an hour and a half. Did mobility work and body weight exercises for another 45 minutes
Made a killer salad for lunch
Swept/mopped the south balcony.
Updated our router.
Made refried beans for tomorrow.
Washed and put away the dishes.
Prepped for tonight's dinner.
De-grimed the shower. Chlorine rinse for the grout.

So. Nothing much. Like every day.

I would like to subscribe to an ebook in my feed reader and have it show up like 500-1000 words at a time.

Sorry too lazy to do this again for Mastodon copying all the ALTs over - but this should work here too, thank you bridgy!

The Japan Tourism Agency confirmed that travel from Hong Kong is down in May, thanks to an old manga that predicted a massive tsunami in Japan on July 5th. However, the panic isn't affecting travel from other Asian countries & Japan is still setting monthly inbound travel records.

Huh. I wonder who that is for?

So, there’s much to be said about these vulnerabilities…

First, thanks to fellow Nix and Lix hackers for sending us a heads-up, for sharing Snyk’s detailed report, and for coordinating with us. 👍

@steipetePeter Steinberger You got me playing with Claude Code on a PHP application and it's such a weird feeling. It's like the dopamine hits of TDD but worse, because there's so much more that happens. I can see how people don't want to go back. And I can see why @mergesortJoe Fabisevich mentioned he was uneasy. I am too, now. It's great, and weird, at the same time.

Programming language nerd minutia survey! Which is right(er):

Two iconic 1980's mice:
◽Left: Commodore 1352 (Tank)
◽Right: Atari STM1
Both have very different external designs, but inside they share a nearly identical PCB and both were manufactured by Mitsumi.

A little experiment. I want to trade knowledge. Engineering, AI usage, team management! Book a 30-min call, walk me through your company & the pains you’re facing, and I’ll share my experience. Book👉 https://cal.com/mitsuhiko/experience-trade

Sporadic reminder to do a #backup of your #Mastodon account (i.e. request an #archive from your instance)!

Even in the Fediverse servers crash and instance admins turn rogue, and all of a sudden you may be left with nothing but the last archive.org snapshot of your account, so... request your archives, folks!

@swiftyshqforest @mcc it's so weird because it is no amen break. this is the snare from the almost as famous funky drummer loop: https://youtu.be/jOCNmimkFTs

Two men in Aichi Prefecture were arrested for marijuana possession when a neighbor reported something that "smelled like pot" to the cops. Cue Japanese social media troutting out its favorite "how did they know what pot smelled like" memes (descriptions in alt).

Nix/NixOS is the new “dotfiles golf” - and that’s awesome https://lobste.rs/s/vxkduy #linux #nix

IP is complicated, for example, coke never patented their recipe, because it meant it would have entered public domain eventually, and just kept it a trade secret. choices like these don't necessarily imply wrongdoing
