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.

Just discovered swiftpackageindex.com/tomasf/C yesterday.

Back at @SwiftLeeds 2025, Aline Borges was explaining me how she's creating her models for 3D printing using code. I thought that was great but it would be really nice to do it in Swift instead of OpenSCAD and I would put that on my TODO list.

Yesterday, I was going through my (way too big) podcast backlog and finally listened to the August episode (#60) of Swift Package Indexing and the 1st pick was basically the answer I was looking for.

AI and rich people and economics

A sudden depressing, grim thought: a world in which rich people believe "AI" will take over all of the menial paperwork jobs is one where the rich people don't have to care if the not-rich people get educated, can read, and so on. Capable public schooling? Necessary if you need a lot of clerks and people who can read and type, not necessary if "AI" is doing it all for your company.

Suddenly I see the attacks on public schooling in a new light.

RE: infosec.exchange/@JessTheUnsti

SO. FUCKING. MUCH. THIS.

The day I came to work as myself for the first time I went from being the project lead and expert that everyone deferred to to having every single idea being questioned or completely ignored. In one day. On the same team.

That was almost 6 years ago... I could write a dissertation on the difference in how women and men are treated in the workplace especially in the tech sphere at this point.

서울시가 운영하는 위기 10대 여성 지원 시설은 3곳. 그중 가출 청소년에게 행정 절차 없이도 긴급히 숙식을 지원하는 ‘일시 생활 지원’을 주요 사업으로 하는 곳은 ‘나무’가 유일합니다. 하지만 서울시는 ‘유사 기관과 기능 중복’, ‘실적 감소’를 이유로 운영 중단을 결정했습니다.

여성 가출청소년들 버팀목이었는데…‘나무’ 이제 사라진대...

Remember kids, always check for planets before taking a 5 minute exposure with a 4 meter telescope to look for Kuiper Belt Objects!

Background: My collaborator running the processing for our survey is now wading through that hilarious/super annoying mistake I made, but was able to be utilized by other members of my team to add to another ongoing survey and help find even more moons of Saturn news.ubc.ca/2025/03/saturn-128

An image from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope showing a horribly over-exposed bright planet at the bottom, and weird circular reflections throughout the telescope image.

‘입법 능력자’ 김예지…일 잘해서 박수 받을 때 드러난 진짜 품위 www.hani.co.kr/arti/politic... "의정보고서도 특별하다. 2023년 최초로 ‘배리어프리 의정보고서’를 발간한 뒤 여러 시도를 이어가고 있다. 점자 의정보고서를 함께 제공하거나, 발달장애인이 읽기 쉽게 제작한 ‘이지 리드’(Easy-Read) 형태의 보고서도 낸다. 소리를 통해 정보에 접근하는 이들을 위해 큐알(QR)코드를 삽입하기도 하고, 의정보고 영상에는 음성 해설과 수어 통역 등을 추가하고 있다."

@fasterthanlimeamos as a followup, things that are complicated
- lockable units aren't atomic but mixed together with other units across a couple of folders. `-Zbuild-dir-new-layout` exists for changing this but will be a big transition because parts of the ecosystem depend on the layout. `build-dir` itself was a first step to help identify these cases.
- file handle limits makes grabbing locks per unit to be annoying
- with build pipelining (once rmeta is generated, dependents can build in parallel to rlib generation), locking for a build unit isn't just "read XOR write" because we need to do both
- some build units may get mutated by different builds so it can be tricky to track when we can concurrently read or not

We've been discovering and working through these issues in another PR that does change `build-dir` layout, see github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pul

Hey, my first post here on Mastodon! Allow me to introduce myself! I am a hobbyist LEGO stop motion animator and aspiring storyteller! I like good stories focused on original concept as well as great stories around already established franchises (Sonic, etc.).

I hope to gain some traction on this new platform, and some new attention and feedback on my work as a whole!

If you want as close to an A/B test in misogyny in industry as you can get, talk to trans women. Legit the same exact person before and after, and many many of us watch our careers stall out. I've seen my raises and bonuses halt entirely for the last 5 years while team members get raises and bonuses. I had a great grand boss directly interfering with my work and bashing my communication styles when I asked many of my colleagues and they said they saw nothing different in how I communicated than a great many of my men colleagues.

Now I daily consider how much longer I'll make it in tech.

Hey everyone! Codeberg will go down for about 10 minutes starting 19.00 UTC (20.00 CET) to create database indices which are expected to improve performance. This requires a short interruption of service.

We apologize for the inconvenience and short notice.
