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.

The tree is up. No other decorations have been attempted. As a neurodivergent household with limited spoons we tend to do bits throughout December as and when circumstances allow.

I don’t care that it’s technically still November, I wanted lights and shiny things because the world is too fucking dark right now.

My living room. My legs are in shot as I’m taking the photo from the sofa. A large rainbow glowing Christmas tree is to the left. There are mini disco balls as well as many other mad things hanging from it. The TV is on a stand in front of me showing a a log fire video. There is a mantelpiece covered in plants to the right.

Its success shows the power of open source, transparency, IT/dev community, and global collaboration. From Supercomputers to Smartphones: How Linux Became the Backbone of Modern Technology

Greetings Mastodon friends

My team has started "managed data services" for non-technical companies. I.e, we deploy our Very Nerdy People to protect people from vendors and set up a sane, affordable data practice

If anyone knows a non-technical person that is running a company that might want this, I would very much appreciate being put in touch

We spread the holy word of open source and have managed to get costs below $10K per month for Real Engineering

Sorry for talking about b2b sales 💀

“Modern hunting bows generally feature pullback weights around 40-60lbs. And that should make sense: deer cannot shoot back and do not generally wear armor. The military archer, by contrast, needs a lot of lethality and a lot of range because he is shooting at someone with armor and weapons who means to shoot back.

As a result, the pullback weights of war bows tend to be higher. How much higher? At least in Afroeurasia, 80lbs pullback is about as light as a war bow will usually get. Draw weights anywhere from 100lbs to as high as 170lbs are known for bows like the English longbow and Steppe recurve bows.“

I don’t just mean this as a flippant remark. I’m deadly serious. If whipping up a fake war keeps Epstein off the front page, they’re going to keep doing it. Our best hope for preventing a war is to make it not work as political cover for them.

Writing about why the existence of Bounce is so personal for me, and it's been tough to relive memories of the communities I've lost.

The web is a beautiful place, but it's always at risk of being stolen from us. I feel so fortunate to be a part of a coalition of builders + users fighting for it.

객관적으로 평가해서 나는 AI보다 형태력 안좋지만 "나는 직접 그린거니 우월하다" 같은 자기합리화를 하기보단 내가 AI그림보다 못함을 인정하고 더 나아가 진정으로 내 자신의 만족감을 찾고 내 그림과 대사를 어떻게 하면 독자분들에게 더 나은 만족을 줄 수 있는지 찾아가고 싶어

"니 그림은 AI 학습시킬 전기세가 아깝다 ㅉㅉ"이란 말을 들었을때는 솔직히 마음아팠지만 굳이 그런 말에 너무 휘둘리기보단 대부분의 사람들이 하고싶다만 연발할때 나는 소질 정 반대여도 도전했고 여기까지 왔다는 점에 중점을 두고 느리더라도 앞으로 나아가는 모습을 보여드리고 싶다.

Obscure game question for you: have you ever played a PC game called "Watchy"? Even better, do you have a copy? It was sold in boxes that look like this.

The reason I'm wondering is because every online game catalogue tells you "Watchy" is an alternate title for another game by the same company. But I don't... think that's true, based on the boxes and the company website. I just don't have a copy of a game or demo to prove it.

Edit: Mystery solved! Check the replies.
