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.

Mastodon doesn't do either of these things, by the way. It doesn't let you reply to Alice's followers, and it doesn't use the `replies` collection for showing and hiding replies. It's too bad; these are really valuable features of ActivityPub.

I never got around to digging into the literature when I first got curious about this question some years ago: is there any other Cilk-style fork-join scheduler that uses Rayon's StackJob trick where it can avoid per-job heap allocations entirely for 2-way fork-join? Since most uses of 2-way fork-join are for approximately balanced divide-and-conquer, it bounds the stack usage by the logarithm of the data size.

Some repliers insisted that it should be whatever Bob wants, which is trivial. It sidesteps the issue and doesn't address the question at its own level.

I asked, what should be the outcome? Not, who should decide?

What options should Bob have to choose from? What should be the default? What should he choose?

Anyway, I agree with the vast majority that the reply should be to Alice's followers. I think the rule of thumb for replies is that they should address about the same audience as the original post, or optionally a subset of that audience. Expanding the audience confuses readers and violates privacy expectations.

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?

"Alice's followers" is the way most social networks work with private X, Facebook, Instagram. It lets Alice ask questions or share private info with people she trusts and cares about, and lets them discuss amongst themselves. It is really the best way to use social networks.

"Bob's followers" is the literalist version, with the worst possible dynamics. "You should reply to a followers-only post with a followers-only post" retains the same UI choice while completely changing the audience. Most of the other people who read Alice's post won't see Bob's comments. Bob's followers who don't follow Alice won't understand the context of his post, and won't be able to read Alice's post. It also violates Alice's privacy to share a response to her question with strangers.

After years of using only Mastodon,
I became completely "de-accustomed" with quote-posts.

Now that they've been implemented here, and are getting increasingly more used, I realize I don't really like them in most circumstances actually.

I think I'd rather keep boosting and replying, and boosting replies. I'm very grateful they can be opted out of here.

Iโ€™ve tooted about open models probably not being a way out of knowledge capture in the past few days. This article is an excellent deep dive into the issues. And it has sources!
- High end hardware available to consumers is not usually sufficient to run the models without severe compromises
- With the death of quality open data, advancing models requires larger and larger piles of money and hardware. And itโ€™s not clear how the open community would ever close this gap.

PSA: Apple has an obscure service/feature called โ€œiTunes Matchโ€ โ€” conceptually itโ€™s very similar to iCloud Photo Library.

Iโ€™ve been using it for years.

In practice, it is **not** reliable. I recommend you do not use it.

I have some pieces for my-notes that would be, in many ways, much better than what Iโ€™ve been posting lately.
But I canโ€™t write them. Or, at the very least, I canโ€™t publish them.

And this is fantastic on the one hand, but a sort of curse on the other. Who knows, maybe one day I will, perhaps in a less direct way.

It might seem sad, but itโ€™s actually the opposite: when some of the best parts of your life canโ€™t be told, it means youโ€™ve lived through some definitely interesting experiences.

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.

Great to read all the responses to this poll!

I think the Conversation Containers proposal, comes closest to this
codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src

What I'm unsure of if how a Mastodon Reply to this type of post interacts with the model

@silverpill does the OP appear as FO to the mastodon user, does the Mastodon user reply with their FO collection?

Oh hey, our new website design is live:

colocataires.dev/

It's more reflective of what we actually are (nerds carving out a friendly hosting company in a "scrapped" datacentre, with recycled servers) and it features a new pricing page which is either more or less confusing than the old one. Let us know!

Did you know we run the whole thing off approx 550W of power? Seven physical servers, two switches and all of our VMs, serving thousands of users, for less power than a security light!

Heard about the am-dash (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?

Text: "While this will work in a pinch โ€” especially for a LaTeX hacker like me โ€” it's not quite the same as a proper am-dash."

Instead of em-dashes, tho, there is a mirrored integral laying on its side.LaTeX source code for the standalone document. The am-dash-like character is achieved by a mathmode integral sign that is first rotate -82 degrees by a rotatebox command, then mirrored by a scalebox command.

This isnโ€™t the first time Iโ€™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 โ€”beyond potential technical issuesโ€” 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.

The political empire of Trump has always been built on vibes, not facts. He was never a successful businessman โ€” he sucked at it, actually โ€” but he โ€ขplayedโ€ข 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.
