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.

With everyone making Chromium based clones these days, ublock origin might as well release a new browser and remove all the bad bits like forced LLM or tracking and stuff like that. I will even pay a yearly subscription to help cover the development costs.

감성적 성장을 위한 작은 다짐들

1. 오늘의 작은 기쁨을 만끽한다
2. 내 마음의 소리에 귀 기울인다
3. 부정적 감정도 나를 성장시키는 밑거름임을 안다
4. 타인의 눈치를 보지 않고 진심을 표현한다
5. 감정의 흐름을 존중하고 받아들인다

ㅈㅎㅇ 디엠으로 연락해서 궁금한거 질문했을 때 친절하게 답변해준거나 여러가지 기억이 있단말임. 그리고 읍내에도 미담 중에 직접 소통한 게 꽤 있었고... 문제는 이제와서는 그게 다 착취당한 피해자랑 소통했을 가능성이 매우 큰거란 말임?(그리고 마찬가지로 당시 미담으로 알티 탔던 분들이 이를 알고 혼란스러워하는게 마찬가지로 알티를 탐) 저 쓰레기 교수는 정말로 현실 감각이 없겠다. 싶은게 당연하게도 그때 과거 ㅈㅎㅇ을 고마워 한사람들은 피해자에게 당연히 연대할거라는 점이다.

Today's... "what?!" Wikipedia post:

> In 2007, Steenburgen underwent minor surgery on her arm, which required a general anaesthetic; shortly thereafter, she began experiencing "music (...) playing in her head day and night". She subsequently took music lessons so that she could write down what she was hearing, and by 2013 had almost 50 songwriting credits.

GLM-4.7의 성능이 그렇게나 좋다고 들어서 요금제를 보니 상당히 파격적인 가격이라 조금 시도해 봤다. 우선 LogTape에 있던 이슈 하나를 수행하게 했고, 혹시 몰라서 Claude Code에서 Claude 4.5 Opus로 PLAN.md 계획 파일을 꽤 꼼꼼하게 만들게 한 뒤, 그걸 참고하게 했다. 그럼에도 불구하고:

  • 모든 export되는 API에 대해서는 JSDoc 주석을 써야 한다는 당연한 절차를 수행하지 않음 (코드베이스의 다른 코드는 다 그렇게 되어 있는데도 눈치가 없음)
  • JSDoc 주석을 쓰랬더니 Python docstring 스타일로 정의부 “안쪽”에 주석을 씀…
  • Deno.env 같은 특정 런타임에 의존적인 API를 씀 (코드베이스의 다른 코드는 그런 API 안 쓰고 있음)
  • 아주 기본적인 JavaScript 구문 오류를 냄 (예를 들면 세미콜론 빼먹는 식의) → 이것 때문에 상당히 토큰 소모를 많이 함
  • 한국어가 살짝 귀여움 (“나옵니다”가 아니라 “나옴니다”라고 쓰는 식)
  • 결국에는 JavaScript 구문 오류를 못 고쳐서 테스트 스위트도 아예 못 돌리는데 전체 작업이 완료되었다고 스스로 결론 내림

소문난 잔치에 먹을 게 없다더니, 역시나 벤치마크만 보고 모델을 골라서는 안 되겠다는 교훈만 재확인 한 것 같다.

冬の道路

スタッドレス履いてればどんな道でも怖いもんナシと思ってるようなドライバー少なからずいるみたいだけど、まったくそんなことないんだよなあ

the UNIX v4 tape reminded me of this story by Ali Akurgal about Turkish bureaucracy:

Do you know what the unit of software is? A meter! Do you know why? In 1992, we did our first software export at Netaş. We wrote the software, pressed a button, and via the satellite dish on the roof, at the incredible speed of 128 kb/s, we sent it to England. We sent the invoice by postal mail. $2M arrived at the bank. 3-4 months passed, and tax inspectors came. They said, “You sent an invoice for $2M?” “Yes,” we said. “This money has been paid?” they asked. “Yes,” we said. “But there is no goods export; this is fictitious export,” they said! So we took the tax inspectors to R&D and sat them in front of a computer. “Would you press this ‘Enter’ key?” we asked. One of them pressed it, then asked, “What happened?” “You just made a $300k export, and we’ll send its invoice too, and that will be paid as well,” we said. The man felt terrible because he had become an accomplice! Then we explained how software is written, what a satellite connection is, and how much this is worth. They said, “We understand, but there has to be a physical goods export; that’s what the regulations require.” So we said: “Let’s record this software onto tape (there were no CDs back then—nor cassettes; we used ½-inch tapes) and send that.” Happy to have found a solution, they said, “Okay, record it and send it.” The software filled two reels, which were handed to a customs broker, who took them to customs and started the export procedure. The customs officer processed things and at one point asked, “Where are the trucks?” The broker said, “There are no trucks—this is all there is,” and pointed to the tape reels on the desk. The customs officer said, “These two envelopes can’t be worth $2M; I can’t process this.” We went to court, an expert committee examined whether the two reels were worth $2M. Fortunately, they ruled that they were, and we were saved from the charge of fictitious export. The same broker took the same two reels to the same customs officer, with the court ruling, and restarted the procedure. However, during the process, the unit price, quantity, and total price of the exported goods had to be entered—as per the regulations. To avoid dragging things out further, they looked at the envelope, saw that it contained tape, estimated how many meters of tape there are on one reel, and concluded that we had exported 1k to 2k meters of software. So the unit of software became the meter.

情報処理学会誌に記事が出ていて気になったので、角川武蔵野ミュージアムで電脳秘宝館の展示を見てきました。
展示スペースは狭小でしたが、一世を風靡したコンピュータたちが所狭しと並べられていて、面白い展示でした。
これだけ目当てに行くのはツライけど、他の展示とセットなら良いかも。

PS Portal quick review. Latency + picture quality is good for local games. Battery life seems really good. Could use an OLED screen. Lack of Bluetooth audio is ridiculously annoying. Controls feel a little plasticky but otherwise good. Not sure if I’ll keep it but seems a lot better than initial reviews.
