What is Hackers' Pub?

Panic.

From my notes in a team coaching session not too long ago. Always applicable.

@semitones @cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber pumpkin chat is more of a traditional multi-user chat system in that the room has to be hosted somewhere, which means the machine hosting the room has to be online in order for you to chat. brassica chat is fully p2p and a room is not hosted anywhere. instead, everyone in the room maintains their own copy and users synchronize when they are able to reach each other, kinda like a git repo.

Massive AdventOfSysadmin traffic & no incidents,managed with:

❌No CDN/Cloudflare
❌No LB or autoscaling
❌No caching
❌No fast code (Python)
❌No big server

But:

✅good architecture
✅rate limits at multiple levels
✅ bkgrnd dependencies with timeouts
✅static page 😅

Fail, fail and fail again...

The UK Information Commissioner's Office has issued a weak reprimand to the Post Office for publishing the identities of Horizon’s victims.

The ICO's failure to enforce data protection law adds insult to injury for the victims of this scandal.

Fans of the iPhone/iPad Mastodon app Toot! can now finally get the updated version from the App Store 🥳

https://apps.apple.com/app/toot-for-mastodon/id1229021451

(This isn't the testflight, this is the full release version)

Toot! is quite an unusual and quirky app, but that seems to be what has made it a favourite with many people.

"La felicidad pertenece a quienes se bastan a sí mismos. Pues todas las fuentes externas de felicidad y placer son, por su propia naturaleza, sumamente inciertas, precarias, efímeras y sujetas al azar." ~ Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860).

Hey folks, I know Giving Tuesday was yesterday and I purposefully avoided it because there's many causes that deserve your dollars more than us.

If you have something left, I'm contributing more to keep our community alive than what we're getting in, and I know that we can fix that.

If everyone who read this contributed $5, we'd be in a much better position, paying off backed-up invoices.

If everyone who read this committed $10 monthly, it'd pay off our hardware deficit. The hardware I bought to get us off the cloud, I bore the entire $25,000 cost. I'm fine with this as long as we can chip away at it... But as it is, we're not.

Right now we're $453 behind on monthly costs. The physical servers are fine at being chipped down, knowing we're solidified for years to come.

Your `pip` unwrapped 🎇

- you tried to install `requirements.txt` 18 times this year. Doing better than last year!
- of the packages you installed 67% started with py, 11% python, and 6% Py. You guessed wrong 85 times.
- your love for building source has no bounds, except maybe the 92 failed compiles
- you updated `requests` 18 times. Urllib is feeling lonely.
- the average time between updating `pip` was 97 days. But we warned you 338 times!

Go is what happens when you use C for decades and come up with a load of great ideas to improve it, and then implement them. Along the way, taking great care to never look at any ways other people have improved on C.

It is a language that containers every good idea Rob Pike ever had, and none of the good ideas people who are not Rob Pike ever had. Which would be more excusable if it weren’t the second language to merit that description.

It turns out that there are a lot more smart people in the world who are not Rob Pike than who are.

Transhumanists talking about "continuity errors" in a latently sinister fashion

Great to be part of social.coop! Here's an #introduction: The People's Tech is aimed towards becoming a co-op based in England with a small team of Small Tech workers promoting technology at the intersection of privacy, security, sustainability, *and* inclusivity, Covid-safer and non-hierarchical, slowly rolling out public workshops discussing alternatives to Big Tech, plus private consultation for co-ops, non-profits, and campaign groups on how to make better choices (which has already begun!)

Apple just announced some upcoming changes to its Observation framework that might look familiar to users of our SwiftNavigation library! We obviously think it’s a great addition, and are happy to see Apple provide the same solution as ours directly in the framework.

See Apple's pitch here: https://forums.swift.org/t/pitch-advanced-observation-tracking/83521/10

And our tool here: https://github.com/pointfreeco/swift-navigation/blob/main/Sources/SwiftNavigation/Observe.swift

with the new `fold` feature, i could now implement the MIDI voice allocator.
