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 have not signed the "hard fork" letter, not because Tobi won't think I'm a terrible person—I hope he does—but because I don't want a hard fork of Rails. I want the community to use Rails less. I want Rails to be less important to the community. One reason I created https://brutrb.com
Super excited to see swift-configuration! There's a introduction on the Swift Forums at https://forums.swift.org/t/introducing-swift-configuration/82368; docs: https://swiftpackageindex.com/apple/swift-configuration/documentation/configuration; and code: https://github.com/apple/swift-configuration
Fills in the component for picking up configuration for server side apps that I've been shimming in somewhere between environment variables and using the argument parser for CLI options. Makes it way easier to wrangle for config when you use containers and cloud-based hosting.

The most significant downside of the mastodon and so-called fediverse is that it has no users. It's just me from millions of accounts, and to prove that i'll now post this from all of them

I'm sure other people have noted this but at some point we went from talking about "social network sites" to talking about "social media sites".
At first, the network was the thing that mattered. Then, the media was the thing that mattered.
A quick Google Trends query shows the shift might have happened around 2012:

cursed headline
Whenever I see another round of the C++ community’s war against guaranteed memory safety, I think of Tony Hoare’s Turing Award lecture where he said that if computer engineering were real engineering, memory safety bugs would be considered criminal negligence.
He did not mean this as hyperbole. If you ship software and it fails in the real world due to a memory safety bug, they should find out who put their engineer stamp on the software and prosecute them criminally.
He said that after having written an implementation of Algol 60, in 1963, which did run-time bounds checking. On 1963 hardware. His customers didn’t even want to have the *option* to switch it off when they were offered it.
In C++ 60 years later they’re still surprised that the cost of run-time bounds checking is affordable.

Why, oh why does SNMP need to be exposed to the Internet for everyone to hack?
"we couldn't get our NMS to work with all our gear until we dropped back to SNMPv1, turned off all ACLs by IP, and changed all variables to R/W"
For those who don't read my blog at @hikingdude@www.franzgraf.de I'll post some of the photos from our trip to the #schwarzwald separately.
This one was one of the first "tests" to get into seeing details in the chaotic and dark forest. I was just simply overwhelmed by the amount of detail and just saw chaos at first.
It took me a while and I needed to force my self to slow down to start seeing something.

Thinking harder about the forget sea-orm, feed sea-query into sqlx" approach described here
https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1e8ld5d/my_take_on_databases_with_rust_seaorm_vs_diesel/
Looking at it I'm suddenly understanding I… don't understand the return type of a sqlx "query" call. In much of the "sample" code https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx it seems to be mapping return values to structs but I don't understand how it knows which one. Is this magic with generics or is the sample code omitting setups on the types. Why is "bind" required sometimes but not other times.

If you're on a small or medium sized server, you might want to browse its "Local" timeline. This shows all the public posts by people on your server, and it can be a nice way to discover interesting accounts to follow. It also gives a server a sense of community 🙂
(It's not a good idea if you're on an overcrowded server like mastodon.social though, its "Local" timeline is an incomprehensible firehose 🙁 )
More info about timelines and how to view them:
