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.
If you're still posting content on Twitter - just know I'm thoroughly disappointed in you, and you should be pretty ashamed at this point tbh.

Not sure where this is going, but I've made isometric libraries a bunch of times. This is the 2026 version. I'm never totally happy with the api for defining the different textures. You either have a set list of predefined textures, which winds up being limited, or a way to draw custom ones, which winds up being overly complex. Or both I guess. We'll see where this goes.
I think I like what I'm coming up with.
Can people please CW videos of people getting murdered or idk at least mark it as sensitive?
essentially, i put up with HN because the reach is worth dealing with people who are unpleasant to be around but lobsters just has a bunch of people who end up making threads on the topics they care about insufferable it's not even about disagreement vs agreement, it's about the *how*

I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

uspol, history, pessimistic i guess
just heard a bad take (from offsite)
"the US is not nazi germany because the nazis were popular, but trump is not"
this is very false, and a very dangerous thing to think
the nazis were also unpopular, never winning a majority of seats in the reichstag
in the march 1933 election (the last contested election until after the war), the nazis only won 43% of the vote. they had to join with the nationalist DNVP to create a governing coalition and even then they barely had a majority
this is despite extreme levels of street violence, extreme voter intimidation, and a complete ban on the popular communist party, and banning of campaigning by SPD (social democrat) and centre party candidates. and the election was only 6 days after the burning of the reichstag, which likely had at least a partial rally around the flag effect
i say this is a dangerous misconception because it makes it seem like resistance to trump as going better than the resistance to the nazis, but if anything i think it's going worse. in the weimar republic there was at least semi-effective institutional opposition in the form of communists and to a lesser extent the SPD. in the US we have the democrats, who are collaborating with and enabling the fascists at every turn, refusing to use the power they have
it's impossible to read the history of the centre party[2] and not see the democrats behaving almost exactly the same way: old and ineffective leaders, choosing to work with the fascists instead of the left wing, and constant appeasement. but that got them nowhere as the nazis swept them aside as soon as they were unneeded
the centre party was a small but strategically important party (winning ~12% of the vote), while the democrats supposedly represent the entire left half of the political spectrum
so i guess my point is, we're not nazi germany, and not everything is directly analogous, but in many ways we're actually doing worse at resisting fascism than they were

When it comes to passwords think of the Cesar rule: "oneape" weak "apes 2gether" stronger.
Sunday is the day to rest, they said. But if I would have taken that literally, parts of the Dutch medical sector would be drastically impaired. So naturally, I fixed it.

Ton of down reports this morning for TikTok: https://downdetector.com/status/tiktok/
My guess is they were separating US vs. global users because of the new ownership structure and something got messed up
Or Trump could have asked new ownership (led by his close friend Larry Ellison) to temporarily slow down or freeze accounts sharing about Minneapolis

I've been moving away from Big Tech platforms for a while
But I think we'll continue to see more people leave them as the Trump regime leans on people in both obviously visible and hidden ways
Mastodon isn't a video platform per se but anything we can do to welcome / educate people on how to use the various apps/platforms of the #fediverse I believe we should

Alex Pretti's last words were "are you ok?" to the woman he was trying to help off the ground after she was maced and shoved down into the ice.
He died trying to protect someone.
Renee Good's last words were "I'm not mad at you, dude." She died trying to protect her neighbors.
They died keeping people safe, without so much as raising a hand in violence. They are American heroes.
What does that make of the men who killed them?
