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.

TIL Kicad's builtin font is defined as a set of Kicad symbol libraries, which (mis)use symbol features like pins to mark out important locations that matter for fonts. Then a python script goes brrr to convert all those "component symbols" into a C++ file containing hardcoded glyphs.

Here's the latin capital letter A, for instance.

It's... quite cursed? I went into this to try and see if I could find an easy way to extract an approximate size of individual glyphs, and the answer appears to be "lol, lmao".

The letter A in uppercase, from Kicad's built-in font. It's being shown in the Kicad symbol editor, complete with a whole bunch of annotations for things like accent positioning, spacing around the glyph, and so on.

1/n Okay, gang. We are on a train again.

Follow my journey through until I come up with a better hashtag. I'm open to suggestions, so please comment below if you have a good hashtag that also captures the moments that I am *not* on a train, for example b/c it was cancelled or delayed.

Before The Internet starts mansplaining Quiet Zones to me again: I always pay extra to reserve a seat in a Quiet Zone if I can, and find Quiet Zones to sit in if I cannot book a seat. I do not complain about people being loud in a Quiet Zone unless I have at least asked them to be quiet once, and they have decided to choose violence and be loud anyway.

Using US taxpayer dollars to bomb people and steal another country’s oil for oligarchs to sell to US taxpayers. Taxpayers pay twice, the rich get richer, and climate change from burning fossil fuels gets worse, spreading disasters globally. Murder, corruption, theft, terrorism, climate destruction - all in one.

새해도 됐고 해서 집에서 #돼지국밥 만들어 봤음.

한인 정육점에서 돼지고기 앞다리살을 샀으면 수육 썰기 편하게 되어있었을텐데 그냥 동네 울월쓰에서 샀다보니 고기가 둥그런 덩어리로 말려져 있… 그래서 고기 써는데 힘들었…

@oapicks 法的にどういう言い訳…というか正当性を主張するのかかなり気になります
外国に乗り込んでいって国家元首を捕まえて国外連行をしているので

グレナダ侵攻やパナマ侵攻ですらこんなことはしていない(パナマ侵攻に関してはノリエガが逃げ込んだバチカン大使館に
嫌がらせをしまくり自分から出てくるようなことをしましたが)

えー、途中でオブジェクトストレージ乗り換えた場合、外向きのURLを維持しないのは当然として、内向きには新しいオブジェクトストレージで古いファイルも読めないといけないの?

The reason Grok so easily can generate nudes of children is because it is trained on that type of content. It is not using "imagination".

Too few are saying this part aloud. Any face generated using image-gens can be from a situation of abuse.

"We’re buying oil from Venezuela! When I left, Venezuela was ready to collapse. We would have taken it over, we would have gotten all that oil. It would’ve been right next door. But now we’re buying oil from Venezuela so we’re making a dictator very rich.”

- Trump speaking in North Carolina in 2023

Thug regime; That's probably the best description of the US and its method of operation nowadays. Well, I'd like to argue that the general public/voters harboring the desire to have their nation to be Thuggy deep inside. The mastermind behind this was elected with democratic legitimacy after all.
