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.
In v1.110, Bluesky now has a dark-mode app icon — for anyone who thinks light mode should require a content warning.
Also, nostalgia is nostalgia. It's easy to wipe out all the awful things in the process, or turn them into something you find charming.
One thing about the Attention K-Mart Shoppers tapes is the GOD-AWFUL new sitcoms they'd announce. They're so terrible! And partly because they're terrible but *distant*, they're kind of fun now.
But I would have groaned so hard suffering through them back when they originally came out, of course.

New, from me: The Cloudflare Outage May Be a Security Roadmap
An intermittent outage at Cloudflare on Tuesday briefly knocked many of the Internet’s top destinations offline. Some affected Cloudflare customers were able to pivot away from the platform temporarily so that visitors could still access their websites. But security experts say doing so may have also triggered an impromptu network penetration test for organizations that have come to rely on Cloudflare to block many types of abusive and malicious traffic.

cloudflare themselves get it: blog.cloudflare.com/18-november-...
writing their code differently is only one of four steps here. because this kind of mistake should not be able to cause this much damage. that's approaching problems in a systematic way rather than via band-aids

Too Much or Too Little Sleep Linked to Elevated Heart Risks in People Free From Disease
People who clock six to seven hours of sleep a night had the lowest chance of dying from a heart attack or stroke when compared with those who got less or more sleep, according to a study.

I'm not using AI.
Ever.
At all.
You will not make me.
GenAI has stolen so much from me.
@Em0nM4stodonEm 
Agree. What has been aggravating me lately is that coworkers have been recording meeting transcripts, running them through an AI tool to summarize, and then posting the summary to others within our company.
The AI summary often gets it wrong. It will also claim that people in the meetings said things that they didn't. It has caused issues when someone reads the summary and goes to accuse the person who supposedly said the thing. "But so-and-so said we need to do this!" 😖 I'm so frustrated having my name presented next to things I never said, and then having to go through that conversation.

v1.110 is live! We’ve expanded post-reporting options from 5 → 39. This gives you more precise ways to flag issues and strengthens the signals our safety systems rely on. Clearer reports mean better moderation and higher-quality conversations across Bluesky. Learn more: bsky.social/about/blog/1...
More generally, I do think OKRs / measure-what-matters has cooked peoples' brains to the point that folks can claim things — with a straight face, even! — like that AI adoption proves that ordinary users demand AI.
Three critiques of OKRs / MWM:
1. The ease with which something is measured is not the same as the importance of measuring it.
2. Placing incentives on measurements ruins the empirical value of that measurement.
3. You will never have perfect data, and must reason in uncertainty.
Numbers are a kind of magic trick for our brains, they make things feel way more concrete and certain than they necessarily are. That doesn't make numbers or empiricism more generally useless, it means it's hard work to do empiricism *correctly*, and that bad empiricism can be as bad as not doing any empirical reasoning at all.
Now this. This is #solarpunk.
A true community-owned gardening project. So many stadiums and sports intitutes are just left to rot once they're no longer profitable, instead of being reused for the greater good. Remember, repurposing is always easier than recycling.

Helpful tip for web server operators¹: if you want to know all of the network address space associated with a particular organization in a nice text form, find out their ASN (perhaps from https://bgp.tools/ with an IP address) and then:
whois -h whois.radb.net -- ' -i origin AS150436'
Dump that in a file, get all of the 'route:' entries, and feed them to your favorite CIDR/netblock calculator to minimize them and give you a nice list for your web server ACLs/etc.

My heroine this week is ABC’s White House Correspondent Mary Bruce who asked the Saudi-Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman what Saudi-Arabia was doing at The White House, after Saudi-Arabia’s involvement in both 9/11 and the killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
May her courage inspire us all.
Also, ultimately, the panic wasn't the root cause of the Cloudflare outage. I'd hate to see Rust over-rotate on one incident. You can make an argument that unwrap should have a better name, but imho, the churn is not worth it.
People want a technical solution to what is ultimately a judgement problem. People know that unwrap can cause a panic. That's the choice that's being made when you unwrap. Changing the name won't change that.
