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.

Too many people are trying to differentiate between ICE and police.

I will hold your hand as I say this:

Police in the US treat marginalized people the way ICE treats everyone. They're far more similar than you want to admit.

Defunding the police and abolishing ICE are the same fight.

“When I was about 20 years old, I met an old pastor’s wife who told me that when she was young and had her first child, she didn’t believe in striking children, although spanking kids with a switch pulled from a tree was standard punishment at the time. But one day, when her son was four or five, he did something that she felt warranted a spanking–the first in his life. She told him that he would have to go outside himself and find a switch for her to hit him with.

I can't stop smiling, @kevinKevin Roose, @CaseyCasey Newton & @pj. The name is absolutely hilarious. 🤭

This brings back the ease that technology otherwise lacks!

Pretty cool podcast episode about three guys (@kevinKevin Roose and @CaseyCasey Newton of Hard Fork, and @pj of Search Engine and Reply All) setting up a Mastodon server called the .

There's also a pretty sweet melodic breaks track at the end of the episode that I need to know the name of (or at least the artist)!

Many of us have been here, happily waiting for you since 2017. Welcome, friends.

Fellow *non*-Americans—are you using any or all of the U.S. support for Israeli wars and the Israeli genocide on Palestinians, the U.S. attack on Venezuela, the annexation threats against Greenland, or other U.S. policy decisions to move away from U.S. products and services?

the best/worst one was where i had three features that relied on each other, and i had implemented 1 and 2, but not 3. Claude said "hey so, the way you built 2 may make building 3 hard, we may want to revise 2 before we go on to 3" and it was 100% right, I hadn't considered a requirement

Trying not to be nostalgic but this certainly feels like back then.

60 years old
Had an internet startup in 1994-96 doing dial up, then selling fractional T1s and fell into web design (ugly, bad) and helped on first websites for Pete's Wicked Ale, Sunkist (survey boy!), Disney, Orange County Register. Lived through the Pentium FDIV bug while trying to learn kernel compile and Tumpet Winsock. Usenet!

My first meaningful online community was radioparadise.com.

spent the whole afternoon debugging what I thought was a bug in my code but it turns out if you call Promise.finally() nodejs will treat the rejection of that promise as unhandled and crash your program, regardless of whether it is handled or not. is this supposed to be intentional?

I’m sure having to post a lot of links to this one:

hachyderm.io/@inthehands/11586

People are getting really confused about this. When I say “pretext,” I don’t mean for individual ICE officers. I mean that the Trump regime still (!!) does not have enough popular support and political cover to cross certain lines. They’re finding themselves genuinely stymied by federal courts and state govs, Congress is getting less (not more!) quiescent, they’re finding themselves unable to control the press, and popular support is collapsing.

Saying “the situation is already extremely dire” is true and important. Saying “they’ve already achieved total authoritarian control” is wrong, dangerous, and an invitation to give up when we most need people active.

@inthehandsPaul Cantrell It also doesn't help that they've already kidnapped many of "the worst" criminal immigrants, and more and more they're kidnapping perfectly normal people - oftentimes who are completely legally here, working jobs, paying taxes, whatever. It's becoming harder to paint everyone as some dangerous gang member when they're like ... A person who cleans houses and missed a paperwork filing deadline one time 10 years ago.

@inthehandsPaul Cantrell We are still in the 'Consolidating power' phase, which means that consolidation *can* still fail, and their base fragmenting over things like the pedophile president's attempts to cover up the epstein files matter; he has not taken full control, and the more loyalists he loses, the harder it becomes for him to actually finish consolidating power.
