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.

0

Another issue with ActivityPub is that we have a special delivery address, `Public`, which means that the activity should be visible to _everyone_. One question that arises is, if it's visible to everyone, should it be *delivered* to "everyone"? And if so, how is "everyone" defined?

One answer to that is that the sending server should send the activity to every actor on the ActivityPub network. That's clearly too much -- literally millions of actors. There's also not a big list you can look at that shows every actor on the network. It'd also be annoying to receive every single public post in your home timeline.

If your computer desktop was an infinitely-sized canvas that your monitor was a viewport into, would you want that?

Some scrolling window managers for (like ) now offer infinitely-wide workspaces. If you add a new window column to the right, one may scroll off-screen on the left.

It's convenient like a large house is convenient. You can fill it with even more stuff before you need to clean it. But if you want to find something? You've got a much larger haystack for your haystack.

Note to authors about using "AI" art to promote your work

I really hate to say this bluntly but I'm going to say it. I will not boost your stuff if you're using "AI" art in the cover or in the promotional material.

There's a lot of other people who won't either.

I would rather see the cringiest possible clip art than see hot "AI" garbage. I'd rather see the same five public domain photos off of Pixabay and Unsplash again and again than see "AI" garbage.

We don't want LLMs fucking with the writers' side of things. Don't use generated images to fuck with the artists' side of things.

In ActivityPub, each actor has an optional `sharedInbox` endpoint, that is used for this shared inbox delivery. If an activity is supposed to be delivered to 10 actors on the same receiving server, it only gets delivered once, and the receiving server routes it to those 10 actors directly. We expect that internal routing to be much faster!

verizon is down?

i can see in my head all the IOT security folks groaning as all the telemetry for all the remote bullshits attached to peplinks and various other brand of commercial ethernet-to-lte bridges vanish offline

Il y a fort longtemps, certains d'entre vous n'รฉtaient mรชme pas nรฉs, je fus arrรชtรฉe pour un motif ร  peu prรจs lรฉgitime. j'avais fraudรฉ en passant un portillon Ratp ร  la Dรฉfense...
ร‰tudiante, je n'avais pas le fric pour payer le supplรฉment du brutal changement de zone entre Paris et Nanterre, ma fac pendant un an.
(Je n'y ai pas fait de miracles, j'ai quittรฉ pour Vincennes ร  Saint Denis.)
Bref.

Bon, je ne l'ai pas pris au tragique, les agents ne m'ont pas menottรฉe ni รฉtรฉ dรฉsagrรฉables envers moi, juste comme je n'avais que ma carte orange (invalide ร  cet endroit ) sur moi, ils m'emmenรจrent au poste pour vรฉrifier mon identitรฉ et me coller ensuite une amende.
Je m'assis bien poliment pour attendre lร  oรน on me disait, et je commenรงai ร  causer avec la punkette un peu high qui se trouvait ร  cรดtรฉ de moi. Elle, elle avait รฉtรฉ arrรชtรฉe pour possession de dieu sait quoi (mais รงa envoyait du bois apparemment^^) et รฉtait menottรฉe au banc.
Comme le mec de l'autre cรดtรฉ, un jeune arabe qui baissait la tรชte dans le genre ยซ je ne prends pas le risque d'avoir eye contact avec quiconque ยป.

Pas moi, j'รฉtais un type bizarre de fraudeuse chic et blanche, propre sur moi, pas ivre, pas racisรฉe, pas shootรฉe, bien calme et bien รฉlevรฉe, jean chemise blanche, bottes nickels, cartable cirรฉ. qui observait tout รงa avec presque de la curiositรฉ, dans sa certitude privilรฉgiรฉe que rien ne pouvait mal se passer si je faisais tranquillement ce qu'on me disait.

Donc toujours pas menottรฉe. J'avoue , je ne prenais pas du tout la situation au sรฉrieux, j'รฉtais en mode "j'ai jouรฉ, j'ai perdu, je paierai et basta". (le "je paierai" รฉtait quand mรชme assorti d'une lรฉgรจre inquiรฉtude, il faudrait emprunter ร  mes parents et รงa, j'avoue que je ne me sentais pas tout ร  fait prรชte ร  leur dire pourquoi j'avais besoin d'argent, bref bis).
Donc nous gloussions, deux filles jeunes, presque heureuses, vivantes, sur le banc. Quand tout ร  coup, le type de garde s'est mis ร  hurler :
-- Sales putes, vous allez fermer vos gueules, parce que vous voyez le gars-lร  ร  cรดtรฉ de vous ? S'il fait un geste de travers , je lui colle une balle. Et les balles, รงa se perd !

Je suis restรฉe sans voix, la punkette aussi. Quand un homme te traite de sale pute c'est qu'il te hait, pas parce que tu as fait quelque chose. Cโ€™est parce que tu es quelque chose qu'il hait, et c'est souvent une femme.
Et soudain, la scรจne avait changรฉ. On nโ€™รฉtait plus dans une histoire de portillon RATP, dโ€™amende, de paperasse emmerdante, ennuyeuse, mais mรฉritรฉe. On รฉtait passรฉs ailleurs, dans un endroit oรน la loi nโ€™est plus le cadre, mais le prรฉtexte.

Il venait de sortir son arme potentielle comme on sort une carte maรฎtresse. Il rappelait ร  tout le monde, en postillonnant comme un malade, qui avait le pouvoir de tuer, qui avait le droit dโ€™exister et qui devait se taire. Le jeune homme arabe ร  cรดtรฉ de nous sโ€™est encore plus tassรฉ. Il nโ€™a pas bougรฉ, il avait compris depuis longtemps lui. Le message ne nous รฉtait pas adressรฉ ร  nous seulement, il รฉtait pour tous. Pour dire : je peux, je dรฉcide, je vous tiens.

ร€ cet instant prรฉcis, jโ€™ai cessรฉ de rire, dโ€™รชtre une รฉtudiante un peu fauchรฉe et vaguement insolente. Jโ€™ai compris que ce qui se jouait-lร  nโ€™avait rien ร  voir avec lโ€™ordre public. Cโ€™รฉtait une dรฉmonstration, une mise en รฉvidence de la domination brute, une faรงon de rappeler que certaines vies sont toujours conditionnelles.

Et le plus glaรงant, ce nโ€™รฉtait pas la menace elle-mรชme, cโ€™รฉtait sa gratuitรฉ. Personne ne bougeait, ou ne criait ou ne rรฉsistait. Il nโ€™y avait aucun danger, juste le plaisir de faire peur, la jouissance dโ€™รฉcraser, de fermer sa gueule ร  la femme trop ร  l'aise, trop tout, de rappeler que les balles ยซ รงa se perd ยป.

Je suis sortie de lร  avec une amende, oui. Et une conviction qui ne mโ€™a jamais quittรฉe depuis : la violence institutionnelle ne commence pas avec les coups. Elle commence avec la certitude dโ€™impunitรฉ. Cette haine brรปlante quโ€™on sait pouvoir cracher sans consรฉquence.
Et depuis ce jour-lร , quand jโ€™entends quelquโ€™un dire ยซ sโ€™ils nโ€™avaient rien ร  se reprocher ยป, ยซ ils nโ€™avaient quโ€™ร  obรฉir ยป, ยซ cโ€™est la loi ยป, je sais exactement ce que รงa vaut.

Je sais ร  quel point รงa peut basculer vite.
Et surtout, contre qui.

Last night with no warning, RFK Jr. cancelled up to $2 billion in funding for mental health and substance abuse research and programs administered through SAMHSA.

We are collecting information on terminated SAMHSA grants at Grant Witness:

If you worked on one of these programs, please let us know at the link! And please share with your colleagues. We need a comprehensive record of these terminations to fight back!

RE: linuxmom.net/@vkc/115894822461

My gut is telling me that the folks who use a watch/phone for payments don't carry a purse.

I carry a purse, my phone/wallet/keys can't go in pockets that either don't exist or are comically small. So for me, I just never saw an impetus for "contactless" vs traditional cards/cash.

I don't think I could wordsmith a poll to test my suspicion, but that's my read on it.

So, if an activity is supposed to go to M actors, it would normally take about M deliveries to get it to all those actors. But if there are on average N actors that share a server, then using a shared inbox will reduce the total number of deliveries to M/N.

In ActivityPub, each actor has an optional `sharedInbox` endpoint, that is used for this shared inbox delivery. If an activity is supposed to be delivered to 10 actors on the same receiving server, it only gets delivered once, and the receiving server routes it to those 10 actors directly. We expect that internal routing to be much faster!

A simple question: do you know who I am?

(If this could be boosted so not just my friends, moots, and oomfies see this, that'd be great... and probably rightfully skew the "no" votes.)

uspol, ai software dev

i think another (maybe the primary?) factor driving the use of "ai" tools in software dev right now is that it simply doesn't make market sense right now for a business to care whether or not their software works. so what if it's broken? end users will stop using the software but they'll forget to cancel their subscription, or they'll grit their teeth and deal with the jankiness bc the business in question has a monopoly and there are no good alternatives

Ooooh, ? Nice :D

I'm Victoria. I'm an astrophysics and artist doing scientific/academic illustrations.

I've recently published a book on black holes with my own illustrations (only in German so far, sorry!) and when on holidays, I love making small watercolour paintings of things I encounter (often buildings, sometimes plants). I post my art under here.

Cover of the book "Schwarze Lรถcher: Schwere Kost, leicht verdaulich" written by me.Mostly fback and white digital drawing titled 'The confernce audience' showing six little doodles showing typical conference audience members - each with a short description. A stick person panicky hinding behind their laptop and panicky typing - the postdoc panicky finishing their talk. A screen with black square - remote participants: black boxes asking questions. A phone screen showing the photo of a talk slide - the person running the conference twitter feed: always taking pics with their phone. A stick person head, sleeping - the transatlantic colleague sleeping of their jet lag. Stick person in a PhD hat behind their laptop, raising their hand while continuing to type with another hand - the senior faculty emails from their provost & asking the occasional very pointed question.Mostly black and white digital drawing of the JWST, with gold highlight for the mirror and some of the electronics.Seven ink and aquarelle postcards; two showing the city if La Plata, three cute houses in El Chaltรฉn und Puerto Natakes and two flowers and berries from Patagonia

Sur cette histoire de dรฉputรฉ RN qui s'emporte contre le Festival Trans qu'il associe ร  des personnes transgenres, ce qui compte c'est sa transphobie dรฉclarรฉe et assumรฉe pas le fait qu'il se soit trompรฉ. Ce serait bien qu'on arrรชte de se gausser pour sortir les nerfs de boeuf contre ce type de discours et la vision de la sociรฉtรฉ qu'il porte. En mรชme temps c'est pas au Canard qu"on va demander une analyse politique un tant soi peu basique.
Quand une proviseure s'en prend ร  une lycรฉenne qui veut couvrir ses cheveux pour cause d'alopรฉcie ce qui compte ce n'est pas qu'elle confonde avec une musulmane mais le pouvoir qu'elle s'arroge sur le corps d'une ado

My college (California College of the Arts) is going to close, ending operations in June 2027 after we teach out as many students as we can. Vanderbilt will take over the campus and open a location in San Francisco.

It'll be my twelve year anniversary at this job this summer. The best coworkers, students, and faculty you could ask for.

The photo shows snow covered conifers in a forest in portrait format. The stems of the trees is covered with frost and the branches are covered in snow. The ground is also completely covered in snow. It is very misty so after a few meters the background is completely white.
