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.

If the Canadian government wanted to do something nice for me, the absolute best single thing they could do for me¹ is cap UPS's import/brokerage fees at the amount I would have had to pay in self clearance. Or at self clearance levels plus ten percent.

Or just fucking make self clearance possible in downtown Toronto without spending $10 and two hours to take the train to Pearson. Please. I am dying

¹ I mean short of something really expensive like OHIP covering medication.

Did you know that @chromium recently did some work to ensure that `document.importNode` and `Node.cloneNode` delivered a similar performance profile? They did!

That means that built to be compatible with the web can leverage `document.importNode()` for templated content with custom elements which will get optimistically updated. Win, win.

Seems like something that @mdnMDN Web Docs would benefit in sharing with the world, right?

Sprachkritik »Steuerflucht«

Personen, die die Gesellschaft um Steuern betrügen, fliehen nicht. Sie legen die Füße hoch auf Desingersofas in Villen, die auf Wassergrundstücken stehen, und lassen sich von ihrem Personal Beluga-Kaviar und Safrantörtchen servieren, während ihre Finanzberater*innen ihnen die Börsenkurse vortragen.

Tatsächlich fliehen müssen Menschen, die von Steuerbetrüger*innen durch Kapitalexport und Kriegskredite dazu gezwungen werden.

"Toda pessoa afro que, ao longo da história, foi muito importante para a humanidade, acabou embranquecida ou neutralizada"

O filósofo e teólogo David Santos, frade franciscano e fundador da organização Educafro Brasil, está entre os especialistas entrevistados pela BBC News Brasil que alertam para os limites de se usar termos e discussões contemporâneas sobre raça ao falar de histórias de outras épocas, quando muitos desses termos nem existiam.⁠

Para a pesquisadora em política públicas Roberta Basilio, a omissão da origem negra de personalidades históricas tem a ver com uma "necessidade de negar que uma pessoa negra possa ser tão genial".⁠

"O racismo precisa embranquecer as personalidades porque assim fica 'mais fácil' reconhecer a genialidade, o talento e a potência dessas pessoas", diz Basílio, professora na Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing (ESPM).⁠

No nosso álbum, reunimos histórias de personalidades famosas que foram "embranquecidas" ou tiveram sua origem negra pouco enfatizada ao longo do tempo.⁠

Incoming urban fantasy story premise (via this Threads user): the Fae created Github, now Microsoft are trying to take over the Summer Kingdom in order to fill it with AI data centres. Of course, the threadrippers are promptly squatted by the entire gremlin population of faerie:

Screencap of a toot from a Threads user:

Romantasy question: are the fae open source? I had only known them from SJM books, but didn't expect to see them in Quicksilver!

In an effort towards being both fair towards our friends in #Gaza and reduce the notifications/FOMO burden on donors, I have released two new bots for #GazaVerified:

  • @gaza_verified_accounts boosts all the posts from gaza-verified accounts. If you want to follow the stories of the families that we’re supporting but you don’t want to individually follow >70 accounts, you can follow this bot. It’s hooked directly to the Gaza archive crawlers and it refreshes every 5 minutes.

  • @gaza_verified_campaigns posts twice a day a list of accounts that made <$200 in the past 7 days. You can follow this account to get an idea of where to focus the donation efforts.

If you’re a volunteer who also hosts a copy of the Gaza Archive, and you also want to run your copies of the bots, you can add them to your instance by enabling the new environment variables.

As usual, the source code is open.

We’re in this together ❤️

🚀 Django LiveView 2.0.0 is now available

I just released a major new version of Django LiveView, the framework that lets you build interactive, real-time web applications using only Python — no JavaScript required.

🎯 What is Django LiveView?

A radically simpler way to build dynamic interfaces with Django. Inspired by Phoenix LiveView and Laravel Livewire, it lets you create SPAs without APIs, without JavaScript frameworks, without splitting your logic between frontend and backend.

HTML over WebSockets — all interactivity works in real-time, logic lives in Python, and you use Django's template system.

🔧 Simplified configuration

pip install django-liveview

## 💪 What can you do with LiveView?

- ✅ Update the DOM in real-time without JavaScript
- ✅ Interactive forms with instant validation
- ✅ Infinite scroll and lazy loading
- ✅ Multi-user live notifications
- ✅ Real-time dashboards
- ✅ Search with instant results
- ✅ Everything with Python decorators and Django templates

📚 More information

https://github.com/Django-LiveView/liveview

If you're a Django developer and want to add real-time features without the complexity of a separate frontend, give LiveView a try.

@troutgirlJoyce Park I'm a vegetarian, and I would!

Though notably, it might actually be less good for me if these products hit the market. By becoming vegetarian, which was for ethical reasons not dietary reasons, I seemed to have completely skipped several health issues that run in my family, including high cholesterol, which I don't have at all.

I generally argue for being vegetarian on ethical, not dietary, grounds. And thus I'd have no problem with it! But maybe it wouldn't be good for me...
