What is Hackers' Pub?

"Claude will never deliberately include advertising" is not the same thing as "Claude will deliberately work to reduce advertising content that it outputs" which do you suppose they mean by "ad-free"?

Want to know something funny? People in Spain don't speak Spanish. Spanish is a New World language. In Spain they speak Castellano, Gallego, Basque, Catalán, and a bunch of other languages. If you show up in Spain speaking Spanish, they'll understand you but that's not what they speak.

This is my face when modern Go self-tests that you can run during toolchain build require roughly 5 GBytes of temporary disk space.

(For Go people, this is './all.bash" on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, git tip.)

Trying to decide if it is worth including diagrams and formulas in the empty space of my celestial sliderule (now with lunar timekeeping on the reverse side)

This makes me sad (been there). From Joe Menn at WaPo: "Most of the Washington Post’s tech reporters were laid off today, including me. I have loved my time at the paper, which is where I wanted to work from age 15. I take some consolation in not being among the survivors who will have to work harder with less for fewer readers. On to better things."

케이토연구소 보고서에 따르면, 1994년부터 2023년까지 이민자는 세금 기여로 14조 5000억 달러의 재정 흑자를 창출했으며, 특히 서류 미비 이민자는 1조 7000억 달러의 재정 흑자를 만들었다. 이민자는 세금 납부 비중이 높고, 교육, 복지, 교정시설 등 정부 서비스 지출 비중은 낮다는 분석 www.fortunekorea.co.kr/news/article...

Can someone let me know the average cooking time for fish?

I can't locate one of those handy time tables on the microwave in the employee break room.

@mcc Very much like the Rapture that inspired it: the point of that is not the going to heaven, everyone always said you could do that, but the going to heaven without the painful scary dying bit first.

@mcc to be fair some of them just think that if they cause it, they can control it

I got a beautiful bunch of okra when I was up in the 505 last weekend. Anyone have an okra recipe that they like? #food #cooking #okra

@wjmaggoswilliam.maggos i got the full the #forkiverse experience and can tell you it's been amazing. As most, at least in the very first days, I thought this is what all of fedi is like. If we can, we will continue to partake in any positive development 🙌

With Encrypt It Already, we’re pushing on tech companies to deliver stronger privacy protections to their users by enabling and expanding the use of end-to-end encryption across their products or services. https://www.encryptitalready.org

We've teamed up with Automattic to fight link rot on the open web. Check out the new Internet Archive Wayback Machine Link Fixer for WordPress. The free plugin preserves pages, redirects broken links to archived versions, and helps ensure the web keeps its memory.

“It’s very important that websites have a memory," said Alexander Rose of Automattic. "When links go dead, in effect, the truth goes dead—especially in the age of AI,”

I know everything is overwhelming for a lot of folks but I have never, NEVER been in a moment in tech when so many people have *actually* been talking about people's need to learn and questioning the needs of their own minds. And that is really cool. It is a moment of flexibility to make new demands

Larissa Baca (@babaklarLarissa Baca) thinks we can best grow the Open Social Web by continuing to talk about how it benefits the community and how it is not run by tech giants who don’t care about people. For their submission to the Growing the Open Social Web un-workshop March 2:

My favorite media "joke" is the one where fake news stories describe the US as an unstable regime led by an incompetent strongman leader.

You know, the way US media portrays any country we're not supposed to like.

Only in this case, it's mostly true.

I've finally made it. I'm apparently famous enough to be impersonated by a scammer in Discord DMs.

I wrote about what I've been calling "The Everything Account"

If you're familiar with The Atmosphere, you already know how to get one, and this should hopefully help you explain it to others.

For those of you who aren't, you'll be surprised to know that you may already have one; here's how you use it: https://www.augment.ink/the-everything-account/

now, i also don't mean that 'more lines of code is good', obviously. but just to characterize differences. i certainly wouldn't have written 708KLOC by hand in the past month

If you're curious, from 2026-01-02 to 2026-02-03, i apparently did: 10,638 Messages +708,462/-172,910 Lines 6416 Files 19 Days 559.9 Msgs/Day what's really wild is that i feel like i could do way more than this, actually.

just found out claude code has `/insights` aka claude code wrapped it produces an html page with details about your usage and suggestions for using the tool more effectively extremely interesting

anyway sorry still at the 'barely coherent' stage here, haha

by the same token (bad pun), using English to generate code is also a form of leverage. a little prompt can make a lot of code. the core difference between a lever and an llm is that the lever doesn't have semantic drift. that's the challenge of effective tool usage here

I do enjoy a desktop environment that allows you to _easily_ create an old skool right-click menu on your desktop.

There's some quirks to configuring the ordering, not sure if I'll need to hand edit the menu once I get it most of the way there.

For a mutli-head setup this avoids having to have an Application Launcher on every screen, but it does require access to unobscured desktop in order to work.

And my nerdy part likes the '80s-'90s UNIX desktop vibes it creates. Ha.

I think the whole fedi could learn something by thinking about the experience of the #forkiverse. I need to go into these details eventually but they touch on all the culture stuff we've been struggling with forever.
