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.
中道どうするかといっても、結局中道続ける以外に選択肢なさそうなんだよなぁ。中身はごっそり変える必要があるだろうけど。
Heard about the am-dash (https://www.theamdash.com/) on the latest episode of 99 Percent Invisible.
As I understand it, there's no unicode for the am-dash yet. While I have downloaded Times New Human and Areal, I wouldn't now how to actually get the am-dash in a LaTeX-generated document, since the command to get it is more than a single character.
I hacked something together, but obviously that's not the same.
Does anybody know how to do it properly? Or maybe someone has already contacted Cocogun to ask if they'd be willing to collaborate on a project to make a tiny LaTeX package or something, just so we can use the am-dash in our LaTeX-typeset documents?

This isn’t the first time I’ve moved to a new server, and at first blush it does still feel like a missed opportunity to not be able to move your posts over to the new instance.
I then remember that —beyond potential technical issues— every server is a community with its own policies about content and as such, me showing up with years of content that may not be in line with those policies is a moderation burden that no one is asking for.
@angeloAngelo Stavrow There's a new standard for doing this; the first experimental implementations are being rolled out now. I hope in the next year or two we see servers like Mastodon implement it.
The political empire of Trump has always been built on vibes, not facts. He was never a successful businessman — he sucked at it, actually — but he •played• one on TV. People voted for the character on The Apprentice, the character in the QAnon posts, the collectively imagined Second Coming cult leader with ripped muscles, the generic racist whose granting of permission to indulge in collective cruelty offered a kind of euphoric bonding.
The facts are never what gave him power.

@inthehandsPaul Cantrell Totalitarian leaders never derive their power from facts. According to Hannah Arendt, the facts are a problem to be solved with propaganda, conspiracy theories, and terror. What's true is whatever the leader says is true, and may change from day to day. Fortunately for leader, his followers profess an odd mix of gullibility and cynicism, making it possible for him to make contradictory statements and not lose his power.

Current Toronto conditions: -17 C, wind chill of -25 C. I was considering running a shopping errand but you know, it's not urgent and I'm not quite that enthused about freezing my face. I think I will stay indoors another day, where it's nice and warm.
(Environment Canada even has a yellow cold warning. Which is not as amusing to write about as a "yellow snow warning".)

Wapusk: The Polar Bear Nursery
Wapusk National Park, whose name means 'White Bear' in Cree, protects one of the world's largest polar bear maternity denning areas. Each year, pregnant polar bears dig dens in the permafrost to give birth. The park's remote location and strict access restrictions are essential for protecting these vulnerable mothers and cubs during their first critical months. #Canada #Wapusk #PolarBears #Manitoba 🇨🇦

Mostly I'm learning that I've spent a couple of weeks trying to support `FSKit` for something that is slower and, more importantly, can make your computer completely hang and expose some ghost state in the kernel in about 22 different ways.
Does my code have 27 bugs that would likely explain this deadlock? Probably. Should you be able to fuck up the OS that much from user space? Probably not.

The "live location" sharing situation is fucking abysmal. There are situations where it's totally reasonable that you may want to let someone track your phone in realtime - such as meeting an online date for the first time and wanting to make sure a friend knows where you are just in case. Your choices are basically "make sure you both have iPhones," "use Google Maps," "use WhatsApp," or "let some shady company like Life360 sell your location data." It's insane we don't have better options.
Today, we had fun with unboxing and testing an Arduino UNO Q, looking at some hardware-driven games using an ESP32 board, and discussed mechanical keyboards; Home Assistant; and reflashing Rockchip boards. Fun!

Phyllis Munday: Conqueror of the Rockies
Mountaineer and naturalist Phyllis Munday was a true trailblazer. In 1924, she and Annette Buck were the first women to summit Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. A skilled cartographer, she also mapped over 180 square kilometres of BC's wilderness, a significant contribution to Canadian geography. #Canada #Mountaineering #WomenInHistory #CanadaIsAwesome 🇨🇦

I have been trying to think of ways of making the Fediverse more Friendly and Welcoming.
To people outside the Fediverse.
To people thinking of joining the Fediverse.
To people who recently joined the Fediverse.
And more.
...
What do YOU think could make the Fediverse more Friendly and Welcoming?
(Reply with your answers.)

Definitely better onboarding. Based on my own experience and when I had my wife sign up, these are the things that comes to mind:
1. Explain why you need to sign up on a server, and why you may benefit from signing up on a server that aligns with your interests. A way to pre-filter servers based on a few checkboxes would be great.
2. Explain how there is no algorithm, and that you only start to see content in your feed after you start following others. Starter packs would be a huge difference here, so that should have a very high priority.
3. Explain how moderation works, how to contact your server admin, how to block other users and how to make this a safe space for yourself.
4. Explain how not agreeing with others does not make them unwanted here, as long as they do not actively try to harass you or otherwise interact with you. Nobody owns this - and that includes you.
5. Oh, and lets create a USB disk image that anyone can run from an old laptop and host their own Mastodon, Lemmy, PeerTube, Friendica and Bonfire instance for their family to use. Easy-peasy. 😉

Today I tried Claude Code new Agent Team feature, and if you haven’t yet, you should give it a try asap https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-teams
Sub agents are focused on a small task, they become more precise, have a dedicated context each and can work faster in parallel.

I like my set up:
- Vivaldi
- Qwant
- Deezer
Change of habit, I try something else.
I Qwant, I don't google. Well, I admit it's not as good as google, but in nine out of ten searches it gets me there. I don't know anything about the company behind Deezer, but a few things makes me not want to use spotifi. Deezer app is not as good as spotifi, but I manage. Vivaldi is of course the best- and most ethical browser available. Next step would be Jottacloud, a Norwegian cloud storage service. Later, perhaps change OS.

這次日本選舉我關注的是日本共產黨，他們的基本盤是八席，以往也沒有低過這個數字。但這次跌至兩席。
日本政治「地盤」是存在的，一個地方的政治人物穩固了之後經常會形成一個能夠穩固承傳的「地盤」。
我關注日本共產黨這八席的理由在於觀察日本人是否脫卻惰性的投票策略，而已積極的投票選擇想要的政治人物。
所以有固有地盤的日本共產黨是一個很好的指標。從他們的席次大跌的狀況來看，日本的選民已經不能再說他們政治冷漠了，有積極政治意識的國民、這樣的國家公民參與也會積極。雖然不知道結果會怎樣，但日本人變得積極了，日本是很有潛力的國家，祝日本有更好的未來，願台日友好、共生共榮。
A good perspective to keep in mind.
ねよー
また一週間がんばりましょー

I know I'm a bit late for new year's resolution but maybe I can still motivate someone: This year, I'm learning japanese. Would anyone over here want to join me? Just for cheering each other on, sometimes trying to communicate in japanese, or maybe also going through a textbook together.
Or, maybe even a japanese speaker interested in learning German?

Have you ever considered adding a replyTo field on #ActivityPub?
It would be an easy way to make all my accounts integrated.
I just posted a video on
