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.

The Tokaido Shinkansen continues operating in conditions that would shut down most rail systems.

**Engineering behind it:**
🔹 Advanced snow detection sensors
🔹 Heated track switching systems
🔹 Aerodynamic design prevents snow buildup
🔹 Real-time monitoring & predictive maintenance
🔹 Automated de-icing systems

Since 1964, the Shinkansen has maintained a perfect safety record while running at 320 km/h.

I wish I could force every legislator
in favor of Age Verification to watch this amazing talk by Carissa Véliz,

So that they understand the dangers
of the surveillance infrastructure they are currently putting in place.

You should watch it too: youtube.com/watch?v=xSPRouBvgFE

My young nephew was recently diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum (and mild adhd) and I'm wondering if there's any books out there me and @Njord could read to be a better aunt/uncle to him

I know there's a lot of books out there written from by people who have kids with autism that focus on their needs/pov rather than the kids so I'd really like to avoid those

I suspect a long term consequence of AI adoption in workplaces is that document reviews become worthless. An initial problem some have begun to encounter is where the author didn’t even read the document AI produced.

Some AI-forward companies have an even more pernicious problem of people not reading the document but instead asking AI what questions to raise to make it look like they did.

Over time this will become a waste of time with only the AI companies benefiting.

Naming is hard, but I think the community lately has proven that once again with names like:

- uv
- ruff
- ty

I really wonder how those names were selected. For some reason I kind of like uv, but I'm definitely not fond of the others. For me a good project name is:

- memorable
- meaningful
- easy to google
- fun

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.

"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.
