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.
Random reminder that among the other things they can't get right, enterprise firewalls often have application fingerprinting or app IDs or whatever they want to call it where it tries to identify a network protocol and it's just bad. They're all bad. Yes, including that one. So please don't use them for anything important like, say, firewall rules.

afaik this paper's main suggestion for how to combat "contest cultures" (admitting you don't know something is seen as weak) and the "brilliance trap" (there's an attitude that people are either "brilliant" or "not") is to prioritize a
"strong culture of shared learning and [emphasize] that all people can belong in software development and should have the chance to succeed"
building a culture of shared learning is my literal favourite thing so I'm very into this
https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/2gej5_v2
(8/?)
@b0rkJulia Evans in my experience, as someone who is often a "senior engineer," one of the most effective things I can _personally_ do to combat this and encourage a learning attitude is to be quick to say "I don't know," and quick to admit when I'm wrong.
People really do pick up on behaviors like this from "senior" types (or their absence!).
I say this mostly in case anyone else in a similar position reads this thread and goes "but what could I possibly do to shift the culture in this direction"

Nice to see some much needed innovation in the JS package manager space 🚀
I can't help but feel someone somewhere has already done this but I can't find anything so uh, weird request but, does anyone know how many of an 8 bit system like C64 or NES you can emulate at the same time on a modern system?

It is obscene that any member of Congress is suggesting that we can EO our way out of murder. Pass laws to reform ICE or get out of your damn job to make way for people who understand Congress' role. But don't ask for Trump to fix the mess your cowardice created. . (2/2)

さすがボス。ブルース・スプリングスティーンが反トランプ、反ICE（移民税関捜査局）の曲をリリース。歌詞の和訳をリンクの下に貼ります。ロックだ。☞ Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) https://youtu.be/wWKSoxG1K7w
『Streets of Minneapolis』
冬の氷と寒さの中、ニコレット通りを駆け抜け
占領者のブーツの下で
炎上する街は炎と氷とたたかった
国土安全保障省の銃をコートに携えたトランプ王の私兵は
ミネアポリスに法執行のため来たと語る
夜明け前の薄明かりの中、煙とゴム弾に抗い
市民は正義のために立ち上がり
その声は夜を徹して響き渡った
慈悲が立つべき場所に血の足跡が残り
雪に覆われた街路で二人の死者、アレックス・プレッティとレネー・グッドが放置された
ああ、我らのミネアポリスよ
血に染まった霧の中に響く歌声が聞こえる
我らはこの地と、我らの中にいる見知らぬ人のために立ち上がる
2026年の冬、我らのホームタウンでヤツらは殺し、荒らし回った
決して忘れない
ミネアポリスの街で殺された人たちの名を
トランプの連邦暴徒が彼の顔と胸を殴打した
銃声が響き、アレックス・プレッティは雪の上に横たわり、息絶えた
正当防衛と伝えるヤツらの言葉を信じないで
我らの血と骨、そしてこのホイッスルと携帯電話が
スティーブン・ミラーとクリスティ・ノームの汚い嘘に立ち向かう
ああ、我らのミネアポリスよ
血に染まった霧の向こうに
叫び声が聞こえる
決して忘れない
ミネアポリスの街で殺された人たちの名を
｢法を守るため｣と主張するヤツらは
我々の権利を踏み躙っている
友よ、もしあなたの肌の色が黒か褐色なら
あなたは即座に尋問されるか
国外退去させられる
｢ICE（移民税関捜査局）を今すぐ撤退させろ」の叫びの中
我らの街の心と魂は
割れたガラスと血の涙を通して
ミネアポリスの街路で生き続ける
ああ、我らのミネアポリスよ
血に染まった霧の中に響く歌声が聞こえる
2026年の冬、我らのホームタウンでヤツらは殺し、荒らし回った
我らはこの地と、我らの中にいる見知らぬ人のために立ち上がる
決して忘れない
ミネアポリスの街で殺された人たちの名を
決して忘れない
ミネアポリスの街で殺された人たちの名を

What’s everybody’s read on the attempt at a second general strike this Friday?
From where I sit, it feels much more like a social media action than the on the 23rd; I don’t see the unions or same kind of organizing infrastructure behind it.
On the other hand, apparently it •is• getting a lot of social media traction in some circles? “All I see posts about,” said one student.
What’s the read from where you sit? Does this one have legs? Or is it a day to keep our powder dry?
I think there's something we have to explore in terms of the doomerism where people expect the US to be Exactly Nazism 2: there is a claim that they are nazis, and this is a true claim. But they are nazis in the sense of "people who happen to be really into hitler for some goddamn reason" - the same sense that, idk, Varg and Douglas P are nazis. This doesn't necessarily mean that the US has been consolidated as a fascist state, which clearly has not yet happened, if that had happened there would be some pretty clear signs ("Bruce Springsteen living in exile in Tokyo" might be one, "Zohran Mamdani arrested, denationalized and deported to Uganda" would be another). And, of course, it might be - and probably is - their ultimate goal! But it hasn't happened *yet* which means that there's still time to do something about it, which is obviously good. It means there's still hope. But certain people, in trying to seek support for their claim that they are nazis, start looking for any terrible news that they can use to support that claim, which means there's an ecosystem of doomer fake news that tries to make you believe that, for example, CECOT is a literal death camp. But it's not, and this fake news is harmful because the people who were deported to CECOT were alive, and it was possible to free them. And you wouldn't free someone that you think is dead! Likewise, the detainees at Alligator Alcatraz that went missing - obviously we do need to figure out what happened to them! But you *categorically do not assume that people who are disappeared are dead, until you know for sure, which usually means literally finding the body* And you do this because nobody searches for the dead, you search for people who might still be alive, and these people might still be alive, and we need to figure out what happened to them.
@julieofthespiritsHegelian Princess Agreed top to bottom.
A side branch: I’m newly frustrated by the way “concentration camp” has become synonymous with “death camp.” The distinction matters because the Nazis operated concentration camps for many years before they turned them into death camps; the original official plan was to •deport• all the Jews from Europe. It turned into mass killing only when deporting that many people proved impossible. And by missing that distinction and forgetting that history, we fail to notice that (1) DHS is most certainly building and operating concentration camps, (2) they are not death camps yet, and (3) this trajectory is exactly how death camps eventually came about under the Nazis. So we miss both the urgency •and• the possibility of action!
