What is Hackers' Pub?

A lot of people looking at Minnesota right now are fucking jealous too.

Not jealous of the brutality. Not desirous that it would come here.

But jealous of that amazing feeling of unity. People are getting hungry for that thrill. People are stunned by the beauty & power of collective resistance. We *want that* where we are.

Minneapolis's resolve strengthens all of us, & people have been shown what is possible.

They can't undo that. They can't make people unsee it.

ICE watchers with cell phones are just as vital to accountability journalism as old-school whistleblowers.

Shooting, killing and otherwise targeting them is an attack on press freedom and transparency.

So guess who wrote a convoluted date comparison conditional instead of using `Temporal.ZonedDateTime.compare()` like an intelligent human being and ended up hitting an edge case where future scheduled calls started getting cleaned off the database instead of past ones?

I’ll give you a hint: has two thumbs and his name is Aral 🤦‍♂️

Anyway, just restored things from yesterday’s backup and sent a direct message to everyone scheduled for a Gaza Verified video verification call apologising for the confusion and explaining what happened.

Moral of the story: stick to the Temporal API and use its methods if you’re implementing anything even remotely non-trivial involving dates, especially if there are timezones involved. (You can use a Temporal API polyfill in Node.js – I’ve been using temporal-polyfill.)

Now I’m going to expire for the evening.

And you want to access field's _parent_ instead. What do you write? `{.}` ? `{}`? Pipe into something else? La réponse D?

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ear.

If you are writing about a CVE or compiling a list of CVEs and their proof of concept code, please please please mirror the original proof of concept somewhere. I don't care if it's an unformatted .py file on your server. Just put it somewhere rather than hoping that that github user in China won't get their account deleted at any point in the next 15 years.

"Before TikTok, Tumblr or LiveJournal, before widespread computer ownership or the web itself, trans people were connecting online, allowing them to talk to people like themselves.

For many, this was the first time. The earliest forums offered an invaluable space for people whose innate sense of being trans clashed with the prevailing culture. But there, in cyberspace, they built community and friendships."

Canada’s news should be accountable to Canadians, and ownership is CRUCIAL. There's a House of Commons petition (e-6821) calling for legislation to require that Canadian news outlets (print + digital + non-broadcast) be majority Canadian-owned and controlled.

Did you know that Postmedia (National Post, Financial Post, Montreal Gazette, Ottawa Citizen, Vancouver Sun, Calgary Herald, Edmonton Journal, just to name a FEW) is controlled by an American hedge fund?

Last month I helped release the Resonant Computing manifesto. Now I want to explain why ATproto should be seen as a key component for resonant computing. It helps enable the various principles of resonant computing, and it's helpful for people to understand that...

Remembering the 1990s when you were allowed to pick what fonts your computer used

If computers were just bad, that would be more tolerable to me I think. It's the fact that computers start off good and get worse over time. We know things could be better. Software companies *make us know* they're capable of making usable stuff before they go and break it.

"The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone.

In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it."

I've been unemployed for about a month now, and have submitted a LOT of job applications. So many that it's become difficult to keep track of where I've applied, who has responded, etc.

I've tracked this kind of thing in spreadsheets before, but this time decided I'd put together a small app to track it things.

Searchlight is the result of that effort - tracking companies, positions, and interviews - making it a lot easier for me.

If you attended #FediForum before, you now should have received an invite to our upcoming un-workshop on "Growing the Open Social Web".

It's intended to be half way between unconference (agenda is entirely open) and workshop (focused, with up-front paper submissions).

This un-workshop is a bit of an experiment, but then, the topic is important, and many people in the community have very specific thoughts on this topic that are worth being laid out up-front.

If you want me to support your use case of compilers more than six months old, you need a better damn reason than "I don't want to upgrade my compiler". The v3 resolver handles MSRV ffs.

I am sure as hell not rehashing an issue when I am not in a good headspace (as is the case now). There's far too much going on in life to deal with this shit. If you want special support, talk to me and we can set up a binding contract. Until then I'm deleting this type of issue outright.
