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.

@Nanachiakari笹木アカリ Sasaki Akari 比較慘是枝野幸男
當年311以不眠不休拼命三郎聞名

然後小池旋風的時候黨友紛紛靠大邊,民主黨樹倒猢猻散
自己創了立民,大家都不看好
用舊車宣傳、人肉式巡遊拉票,結果奇蹟成為最大在野黨,昔日那群狐朋狗友又靠過來了

靠過來就算了,畢竟上次還幾乎和自民平分秋色,差點又一次政權交代
沒有想到一下子又啪,沒有了

政治真是一天都嫌多

爆笑問題の太田が「消費税減税できなかったらどう責任を取りますか」という質問をして、高市が「意地悪やなぁ」みたいな返しをしている動画を見たが、ふつうの質問で返せないのおかしいだろとおもうんだけど(太田はべつに「やめろ」とか言っているわけじゃなくて公約に入れて選挙やったんだから当然責任あるでしょと言っているだけ)、Twitterでは高市擁護勢が大量にいて、どうもヤラセとかではなさそうで、かなりびっくりした。「これからがんばってやろうとしているんだから応援しないのがクソ」みたいなやつ。

Changed my defaults to private by default with quotes off.

I like the feel of this; I can’t easily accidentally blast an opinion or belief into the public sphere (privacy of ActivityPub notwithstanding, a topic that’s been covered to pieces) but if I want something public it’s easy to opt-in. So far I enjoy the forced thoughtfulness.

"Kevin Welch of EFF-Austin, a digital civil liberties organization, said the LVT contract is fundamentally flawed because it has no enforcement mechanism. “I see data abused and misused by well-intentioned people every day,” Welch said. “The reality is, the only data that is safe is the data that is not collected. There is no bureaucratic means of reforming this. And there is no reason to trust a contract that has no enforcement mechanism.”" austinchronicle.com/news/the-m

今天去了深水埗區的主教山配水庫古蹟

羅馬式的建築風格,1904年建成
它的發現卻差點導致它被毀滅,是一個幸運地活下來的活蹟…

その一点で「この世界の片隅に」を無価値と断ずる気は毛頭なく、傑作であるという評価は変わらないのだが『文脈読める力のある人にだけ伝わる反戦メッセージ』という文法に、受け手である映画ファンも多少酔っていたかも知れぬという反省はある。直截な表現を恥ずかしがってるターンでは、もはやない。 x.com/i/status/202017428688415

I had an interesting conversation on here recently that made me realize that maybe not everyone who uses Mastodon knows that you can use filters as a way to add content warning to other people's posts?

I'm looking for people who moved to a different country past the age of 45 and found a job there (so not "my company had a branch there and I was transferred" but "I would like to move there and need to find a way") to share their story with me.

I need some reassurance that it's not too late for me to do the thing I would like to do but haven't been able to so far 🫠

Bonus points if moving to this country involved having to learn a new language.

Boosting is greatly appreciated, thank you! 🙏

Edit: Oh wow, I've already gotten so many replies! Thank you all so very much, I'll respond to every single one asap 🥰

Also: I'm not looking for jobs atm, this post was more about "damn did I wait too long and will moving to another country even still be an option for me or am I too old" and wanting to hear some encouraging stories 😅

What I notice over and over again: I would not like to live in a part of Germany, where the next other country is maybe hundreds of kilometers away.

I need the proximity to the Netherlands and Belgium especially. There's sort of a cultural diffusion, bringing their culture, habits, food and attitude to this part of the country, making it less … German.

Thank you, Belgian and Dutch people :ablobcatheartsqueeze:

今の状況見るに『この世界の片隅に』とかに対する「声高に反戦を訴えない」的な”称賛”の言葉は決して「声高に反戦を訴えない……のに反戦のメッセージが静かに力強く伝わった」ではなく「声高に反戦を訴えない……ので反戦ウゼェと考えてても感動できて特に考えも変えずに済んだ」だったってことだよな x.com/i/status/202015707735277

最近はSNS離れが進んで、ChatGPTなどのAI相手の会話に時間シフトしてる人が増えてる様子。「深夜のポテチうめぇ!」とか「おはよ~」だけにも、良い感じに必ず回答が来るのにたいし、多くのSNSでは一人相撲の状態となってては、さもありなんと思った。
Misskeyは割と挨拶だけでもリアクション多く返ってくれるし、誕生日ともなろうなら結構派手に賑わってくれるからアクティブ率は多そうだけど。

The tech job market is so bad I submitted my CV for a leadership position in an AI friendly company...

No chance in hell I get it, but I needed to practice the bullshit generator part of my brain that this kind of position implies... Sigh...

Sir Alfred persisted: I understand your reasoning entirely, Ma'am, but I'm afraid that ship has sailed. AI is here to stay. People bank on it. We must build an AI tool into our app.

Our Lady Joan Mastodon rose. She spoke in forced calm. My dear Sir Alfred, I thought I had myself clear. I said no. Please enjoy your mutton chop. Let us not talk any more.

She sat down again and stayed silent for the rest of the meal.

Later, over coffee, she relaxed a little. I saw her chat with Lady Kinneret, her trusted comrade from the pre-protocol days. "Ships are sailing, tools are staying, people are banking, oh my dear Kinny, when will our men stop mixing their metaphors? It tires me so." The banter went on late into the night.

One thing I love about being involved in my College is I get a direct line on what young people are thinking.

In my circle of 30-50-somethings, it's taken for granted that "AI" is changing everything. Some people express caution that we shouldn't even take any position on software engineering education because it will be out of date within a week.

Meanwhile, my students are telling me that in their cohort, everyone is tired of AI and wants to learn proper software engineering.

One lesson here is: do you remember how clueless your boss was about everything? Recognise when you are in the "boss" demographic, and that your breathless enthusiasm and concern may be equally misinformed.
