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.

@shriramkShriram Krishnamurthi I feel these fellows are calling you out!

“To implement a language with these features, a gentle college professor might have students use a programming language that's well-suited for the task such as Racket. Sure, you could do that…”

We’re grateful for the years of support from the Python Software Foundation, whose sponsorship of our Opportunity Grants has helped make DjangoCon US accessible to so many in our community.

defna.org/donate/
As the PSF faces some tough financial decisions, they may not be able to fund as much next year, so we’re turning to our community for help to ensure these vital grants continue.

This (Dec 2), please donate at to keep grants—and our community—open to all!

I've got a Mastoduh question: If you hover over the follow button on someone's profile and see that it includes a "do not" circle that disallows following, does that mean they've blocked you, or that they have just turned off new followers? Or maybe something else? Thanks!

Evropská komise navrhla dvě řešení na podporu finančních potřeb Ukrajiny v letech 2026 až 2027. Jedním je půjčka od Evropské unie, druhým reparační půjčka zajištěná zmrazenými ruskými aktivy v EU.
ℹ Návrhy, které jsou podpořené několika legislativními texty, podle Komise zavádějí řadu záruk na ochranu členských států a finančních institucí před možnými odvetnými opatřeními ze strany Ruska.

韓国の、最近はグルメ動画ばかり撮ってる有名な歌手、ソン・シギョンが日本のテレビに出て歌を歌って、その歌声を好きになった日本の人たちがyoutubeでソン・シギョンを検索しても、ごはん食べてる動画しか出てこないという現象が起こってると知ってほっこりした☺️

Today's entry: ledger(1) & hledger(1)

I primarily use ledger use for my purposes¹ but try to mostly keep my data-files in a form that hledger can process them too.

Getting started involved a crash-course in accounting terms, but the use of positive/negative numbers (rather than "debits" and "credits" which always bugged me; though both have ways of specifying that output should be in credit/debit format) eased the transition.

While it started a little tedious, a few helper-scripts and shell-functions simplified adding new common entries and gave me lazy access to common reports.

I still struggle a little bit with closing the books (I though I'd figured it out, and documented it², but had some hiccups so I'll need to revisit my documentation in January)

But it's been incredibly helpful to see and track our household net worth, spot trends, keep tabs on gift-card balances that would otherwise get forgotten, track invoices sent to clients, and it simplifies balancing the checkbook monthly.
