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.

I forgot to tell you all fine people that I switched from VS Code to Zed recently. Here’s how I did it:

• Closed VS Code;
• Opened Zed;
• Disabled all AI bullshit with a single, easy to find toggle;
• Remapped Command-Left-Arrow to go to the beginning of the fucking line, not the first non-space character, something that VS Code needs an extension to be able to do;
• There’s no step 5; I’m not missing anything so far.

Inspired by a post which I just saw, which I don’t want to derail with my own semi-unrelated take:

Real talk, the more I learn about the niche parts of programming that interest me, the more isolated I feel because the fewer people I can talk to about the things I know well. When I was less aware than I am today I could be a part of the huge swaths of JavaScript FP beginners who hated on OOP without really understanding it, and there was a nontrivial sense of belonging.

This is why I can’t get off Reddit (even though most interactions there are unsatisfying) and why technical conversations on Mastodon and via email are so vivifying.

테트리스가 심리적 안정에 유의미한 도움이 된다는 학술적 근거가 있다는 이야기를 듣고 플레이 스토어에서 테트리스를 찾아보았고, 나는 상표권 보호의 가호에 힘입어 유사품의 씨를 말린 뒤 너저분한 광고와 자비없는 구독형 정기 과금제로 무장한 테트리스(공식)을 만날 수 있었다. 도피성으로 소박한 심리적 안정을 추구하려는 와중에도 자본과 BM의 농간에 놀아나야 한다는 환멸감이 원래의 불안감을 압도해서, 결국 지웠다.

"초개인화의 시대, 역설적으로 사람들은 다시 관계와 연결에서 답을 찾고 있다. 위선조차 떨지 않는 혐오가 만연해지고 국제 관계에서도 힘의 논리만이 강하게 작동되는 시절의 반작용일 것이다. 2026년을 예측하는 트렌드 리포트에서는 공통적으로 ‘인간다움’ ‘감정 회복’을 핵심 단어로 뽑았다."

hallucination in is disheartening. This topped a search result (startpage). I at once knew it is false for I've never heard of "Basimba community". It mixes it up with an actual people, the Ngo (leopard) clan of Buganda. Proof of hallucination? It claims to be a Ugandan community but mentions places in Angola, and Portuguese (who never came anywhere close). I've seen other wiki articles of this thing, and also in grok vomit.

Can anyone fix it?

This is PR. Ring collaboration with ICE and their violations of privacy are well known. If you want to help lost pets donate direct to a shelter, and keep treats and a slip lead in your car. Microchip your own animals and keep the data up to date. mastodon.social/@verge/1160014

レアアース泥の回収に成功ったって、ちきゅうと船長始め乗員の能力に頼り切りですよね。商用化はちきゅう並の能力でかつ省人化を図った採掘専用プラットフォームのイニシャルコストに見合うのかと言う。だいたい毎回中国がリグを浮かべるたびに「厳重に抗議」しているけれど、日中境界線での天然ガス採掘は日本はいまだに手を出して居ないでしょう?

코어 게이머층이나 유튜브 인플루언서들 중심으로 확산되고 있는 것 같긴 한데 요즘 전반적으로 윈도에 대한 여론이 나쁜 것을 넘어서 험악해진 분위기가 있다. 몇가지 요인이 있는 것 같은데

  • 최근 윈도 11이 bloat되었고 온라인 연결을 강제하면서 원하지도 않는 기능을 계속 떠먹이려고 시도함
  • 그러면서 게이머들이 버티고 있던 윈도 10의 지원을 최근에 끊어버림
  • SteamOS가 꽤 여러 상황에서 게임 성능이 윈도를 능가한다는 결과가 나옴
  • 게이머 중심으로 "AI Slop" 같은 표현처럼 AI에 적대적인 분위기가 있는데 MS가 AI에 올인하는 전략을 취하면서 여기서 오는 적대감 또한 기인하는 것 같음. (게다가 게이머 입장에서 하드웨어 가격을 폭등시킨 주원인이기도 하고)
