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.

Just added easy-to-read logs to the ActivityPub Fuzzer! Here's a log of the fuzzer pretending to be Bookwyrm, along with an example of what the Create(Note) and the Article review look like in Hometown.

Note the "read article" link, which is a Hometown feature to be compatible with AP implementations that emit Article objects. You can also see at a glance that the "summary" field that Hometown is rendering here is actually coming from "object.name" (because "summary" is used for CWs lol)

A simple "log" page with a "Clear Log" and "Mark All as Read" button. Underneath those buttons are UI cards, each formatted like: title: Bookwyrm basic Article book review Software: Bookwyrm Time: now Content preview: [a longish excerpt from Moby-Dick with header html embedded] And "inspect" and "FSO" links, the former showing you the generated activitypub JSON blob, the latter taking you to the page on the Fediverse Schema Observatory for that particular schema.A Mastodon-looking timeline with a note with a cat picture, followed by a shorter post with Summary: "example bookwyrm basic Article book review (object.name)" And then a "read article >" link

Hi everyone,

I'd like to share and announce the release of llm.rb v2.1.0.
The source is available at github.com/llmrb/llm.rb

> What is llm.rb?

llm.rb is a zero-dependency Ruby toolkit for Large Language Models that
includes OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, xAI (Grok), zAI, DeepSeek, Ollama,
and LlamaCpp. The toolkit includes full support for chat, streaming,
tool calling, audio, images, files, and structured outputs.

> Example

A simple chatbot that maintains a conversation and streams responses in
real-time:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require "llm"

llm = LLM.openai(key: ENV["KEY"])
bot = LLM::Bot.new(llm, stream: $stdout)
loop do
print "> "
bot.chat(gets)
print "\n"
end

Ruby toolkit for multiple Large Language Models (LLMs) - llmrb/llm.rb

I passed an orange tree that had dropped oranges all over the street so I picked one up and opened it and tasted the juice, at first it was deliciously citrusy and sweet and then the bitter aftertaste set in. I just got to a cafe and now I smelled my hands and wow what an intensely strage smell. It's sorta similar to earthworms in the rain mixed with the sweetness of citrus.

Speaking in mitigation today Adelheid Russenberger, 34, a history PhD student from London said:

“I believe that I acted morally and according to my conscience [. …] There is no justice in climate breakdown and without a stable climate no-one can live, let alone thrive. I climbed onto the gantry to try and prevent the government’s disastrous plans to licence more North Sea Oil and gas extraction – oil and gas that would have pushed us closer to lethal irreversible tipping points. I climbed on a gantry because I refused to ignore that basic moral principle of acting to protect life.”

In mitigation, Jane Touil, 59, a visually impaired former crown servant from Rochdale said:

“We are in an unprecedented situation. Yet the law says our protest was not justified. Not necessary. Not reasonable or proportionate. Disruption from flooding, extreme heat, extreme weather and wildfires is not a public nuisance. I am.

“The law will not save us. I have always tried to live and act according to my conscience. I call on everyone in this courtroom and in this country to do the same. Politicians will not make the change we need, but we can”

You should definitely read about @nina_kali_nina 's project to reverse engineer and produce the first ever (published) 3rd party application for the platform. It's a massively impressive piece of work, even by the already high standards of the community. Her notes are available at git.sr.ht/~nkali/vision-sdk/tr.

A few notes on why I think this is important. Firstly, I don't think you can really understand any field without understanding its history, and I think software engineering is especially bad at this. We tend to dismiss anything more than a couple of years old as irrelevant, which is why we're constantly reinventing the wheel and have people who don't realise that you can build a web page without using a JavaScript framework. One of the nice things about historical software is that you can actually use it, and take it apart and modify it, which leads to a much deeper understanding than you'd get from just reading about how it was used.

Was looking through some of the bundles I bought on itch. One of them was a collection of ttrpgs… a bunch of interesting stuff in there.

OCCULTEAS, Build your shop, make tea, do witch stuff.

WasteCrawl, A One-page GM-less Exploration RPG for 1-8 Players

Dungeon Bitches, a game wherein disaster-lesbians get Fucked Up in dungeons.

You won’t find these listed on goodreads or your shopping mall bookstore heh.

Some weeks ago I posted a photo of this same scene with only the grazing horse. But the scene had more to offer: one more horse and, unintentionally, a bit more story.

I never go looking for stories in my photos; if they appear at all, I usually discover them afterwards. This time, the story was looking right at me. The second horse had noticed me long before I realised I was being watched. I was completely focused on the grazing one and only found my observant spectator later, while reviewing the images.

#Photography #BlackAndWhite #Unsquare
Panoramic black-and-white photograph. A leafless tree occupies the right foreground, its trunk and branches sharply defined. Dense fog fills the pasture, softening everything behind the tree. In the center of the frame stands a horse in side view, its head lowered as it grazes. Farther left, another horse appears in the same side orientation but with its head raised, looking directly toward the camera; its silhouette is faint but clearly recognisable in the mist. The ground is dark in the foreground and gradually fades into fog toward the horizon. The contrast between the crisp tree and the blurred, ghostlike horses emphasizes depth and atmosphere.

can you think of any way a proc-macro might be able to call into another proc-macro?

(the main proc macro from a crate like `facet` and the other is from a crate like `facet-thirdparty`, which `facet` doesn't know about or depend on at compile time)

Yes, sure, things look like they aren’t going so great for Apple’s executives lately. But I’m sure that you, a rank-and-file employee, can think of some perfectly legal thing to do, or not do, that could make it just a tiny bit worse.
