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.

"I had an acorn fall from a tree in my driveway and dent my roof!"

"An acorn fell from a tree in my driveway and dented my roof!"

Why is this "I had" pattern becoming so common? Why does adding two words (and inserting yourself as a subject) seem preferable to using past tense in the normal way?

(I understand that language changes over time, so I'm actually curious as to what may be motivating this change).

I wrote a blogpost about an automatic phone call testing PoC I did recently.
The setup can detect a failed phone call. When properly integrated into the postmarketOS Hardware CI setup, it will automatically detect phone call reliability/quality issues.

Hopefully this can take away the fear of the phone not working when you need it and remove a roadblock for daily driving .

그는 빅테크 기업들이 AI가 인간 수준의 지능에 맞먹는 범용인공지능(AGI)과 이를 넘어서는 초지능을 목표로 삼고 있지만, LLM만으로는 고양이나 강아지 수준의 지능도 달성할 수 없다고 지적했다. 르쿤 교수는 “현재 AI는 물리적 세계를 이해하는 측면에서 아직 고양이보다 멍청하다”라며 “AI가 영상과 공간 데이터를 스스로 학습해 세상이 작동하는 원리를 내제화해야 인간 수준의 사고에 접근할 수 있다”고 했다. n.news.naver.com/article/366/...

Hey, I've been under distress lately due to personal circumstances that are outside my control. I can't find a permanent job that allows me to function, I'm not eligible for government benefits, my grant proposals got rejected, paid internships are quite difficult to find. Essentially, I have no stable monthly income that allows me to sustain myself.

Nowadays, I work mostly on accessibility throughout GNOME as a volunteer, improving the experience of people with disabilities. I helped make the majority of GNOME Calendar accessible with a keyboard and screen reader — still an ongoing effort with !564 and !598 —which is an effort no company ever contributed financially. These merge requests take thousands (literally) of hours to research, develop, and test, which would have been enough to sustain myself for a couple of years if I had been working under a salary.

I would really appreciate any kinds of donations, especially ones that happen periodically to bump my monthly income.

These donations will allow me to sustain myself while allowing me to continue working on accessibility throughout GNOME, potentially even 'crowdfunding' development without doing it on the behalf of the Foundation.

I accept donations through the following platforms:

- “TheEvilSkeleton” on Liberapay: liberapay.com/TheEvilSkeleton/ (free and open-source platform)
- “TheEvilSkeleton” on Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/theevilskeleton
- “TheEvilSkeleton” on GitHub Sponsors: github.com/sponsors/TheEvilSke

Boosts welcome and appreciated.

쿠와바라 타모츠 작가의 ダメ犬彼女 1권 봤다. 그동안 작가 연재 성향을 봤을 때 질척한 복수극이라도 나올까 했는데 아직까지는 개그만화 느낌? 앞으로 어디로 튈지는 다음권 봐야 알겠지만.
