What is Hackers' Pub?

Forever thinking about Alabama AG (and eventually governor) Bill Baxley who, when threatened by the KKK for pursuing justice for the 4 girls killed in a KKK Black church bombing back in 1968 (Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, Addie Mae Collins and Cynthia Wesley, say their names), responded with the most legendary retort you could ever put on government letterhead paper:

KISS MY ASS.

@mikemcquaid is there a difference here between happening to work for a company and also being a maintainer for some OSS, and being paid by the company to work on said OSS?

e.g., my understanding is that a lot of the Rails core team is paid by either Basecamp or Shopify. (At the very least that has an impact on the team’s ability to distance itself from dhh, e.g. by forking.)

edit: to be clear I don’t think this implies _malice_ but it does potentially mean lesser freedom to make entirely unbiased decisions if the employer’s interests start to conflict with the community’s.

Fam, if you are Black and being bullied or harassed or you know someone who is Black that is being bullied or harassed on fedi, tag me the fuck in, I will help fight them and then do a fediblock post about them.

I wanna see more non-Black people commit to this or Black people will fucking leave and this will be a Hell hole.

now that my Big Project™ for the year has shipped and is wrapping up, i will be enjoying some relative down time at work, in which i’d like to spend time topping up my waning modern web dev knowledge.

💡i am looking for recommendations on good online courses to bridge my knowledge gap in latest (not trendiest) CSS and JS practices. i have a few already queued up, but this will help me prioritize.

boosts are most welcome. thank you in advance! #webDev #CSS #javascript

Hynek's talk is long but relevant all the way through. The headlines:
1. All sneks are good (there are lots of ways to write Python and they are all fine)
2. Options have costs (saying yes to everything is a failure of leadership)
3. Expand the gradient (lets open our minds to other ways of building applications)

The China Vehicle Collision Repair Technical and Research Center posted this video of their new battery ejection system for EVs for when they experience thermal runaway, and I cannot stop laughing.

The thought of launching a one-ton battery pack presently ejecting streams of hot flaming gases ten meters away is as horrifying as it is hilarious.

Good luck whoever is to my right!

Good morning! Judging by my email inbox after emailing a lot of people about the Starlink reentry over Saskatchewan yesterday, it's going to be a WEIRD day today.

Hey!
I started submitting more of my bots to botwiki a little while ago but then got distracted.
I went back to submit the rest today, but the first batch haven’t been added yet, so i can’t check which ones I’ve already done and i can’t remember 😅
Can you let my know which ones are there so i don’t double submit or miss any?

Trump’s EO labeling antifa a “domestic terrorist organization” can and will be used to threaten journalists and sources.

Journalists who cover antifa or report on ICE must now risk being accused of “terrorism.”

The EO is illegal, but it still chills speech. The intimidation is the point.

Does anybody have a solution or link to something I might find useful for "Django migrations at scale".

The issue we've got is from multiple people migrating a project. Then branches getting merged to a pre-prod env for client sign-off/testing.

At that point you end up with the database in a messy state due to all the migration dependencies not matching up if things aren't merged quickly.

ICYMI, YouTube is letting COVID and election misinfo back on, in the interest of "free speech."

YouTube's never been good, but going all-in for this regime is intolerable to me.

I'm just running my own #Mastodon instance here, so I don't have a ton of reach.

I'd love it if any of you who are willing would boost/quote this post.

My current SRE role is coming to an end, and the current market is scary.

The most current project was getting 3 line-of-business applications (for a national retailer!) moved to AWS, with some infra design, and lots of Terraform and Ansible.

I've got some Python chops, too.

I'm looking for a new role, remote preferred, or local to the PDX area.
