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.
Tonight's speculation game: if you went back in time to the early 1700s and wanted to win the Longitude Prize for making a clock that kept time at sea, what would you do? You have your modern knowledge (and offline wikipedia on your phone).
I don't think you can make an atomic clock. There just isn't the refining or the electronics. But I wonder about a quartz oscillator. You can do that by cutting a thin piece of quartz and having a battery (which you can make with copper and vinegar), I think?

You don’t get a medal for leaving Twitter in 2026. Just leave quietly and hope no one notices you were there.
my bio says it all
I was booked to play a small tent at a festival years ago. I turned up and there was some kind of booking clash so I ended up playing in front of thousands of people. I cleared the tent within 30 minutes. No idea who I was meant to be but I had a great time.
Threaded applications often have the need to move and remove content between groups/communities for curation purposes (i.e. resolving miscategorization, spam, etc.)
This is an extension of the Resolvable Contexts tree of FEPs.
The FEP draft has been submitted for review. In the meantime, it can be viewed here: https://github.com/julianlam/feps/blob/fep-f15d/fep/f15d/fep-f15d.md
The submission of the FEP and timing of this post are intentional as there are now two implementors supporting (part of) this FEP.
As the implementors work through any issues, the FEP and this topic will be updated to reflect those changes.

Great news that forkiverse accounts are going to have their 7-day waiting period waived for bridging. Shows what a cool little instance this is, it's reputation precedes it ✨

First #protip for the #forkiverse & #fediverse. Go to url <instancename.url>/deck (you might need to go into your Settings > Appearance > Enable Advanced UI, near the bottom, to enable this), and you'll get a multi-column view of your feeds where you can pin what you want to see. For example, theforkiverse.com/deck gets you what you see attached in the image. Enjoy!

Happy Monday, I just pre-emptively hit "send" on an email before I was done typing, so someone just got a reply from me that says only, "Good morning, I think"
Making some progress on my Terminal UI prototype. Lots of controls done already, but it is going to require quite some polishing work. Very rough for now but it is promising! ✨️
My automatic tracking dependencies is working but it has been tricky to allow dynamic visuals created based on state changes without rebuilding the whole UI. Func<Visual> are called only if something is reading a property that is changed. It's cool but tracking dependencies bugs are quite difficult to chase down! 🐛
Saw something kinda fascinating the other day: a BBS-native comic was being labelled the "first webcomic”. Which makes me wonder if "webcomic" has transcended the "web" at this point, so something pre-internet that’s never been on the web counts.
