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.

(I find Zulip's interface unspeakably baffling. It's not glitchy like Element. It's just really confusing. It somehow splits the difference between a forum and a chat room in a way that makes it feel cumbersome for the tasks either of those two traditional idioms excel at.)

anyways, don't get off discord yet; not because this isn't heinous but because we're currently in the post-horror scramble to find alternatives. give things a second to settle down so you can find out which ones suck and which ones don't. instead, cancel your nitro, yell at discord, and plan.

In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions. Then covered it up again when caught. Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Trans Youth Suicides Skyrocket...

Still hooked on BLUE. Hacked all day yesterday and today converting Dezyne's (dezyne.org) build system. Opened six issues, and two pull requests, one already merged.

It's not perfect *just* yet, in fact, some issues are show-stoppers for BLUE to replace Autotools for Dezyne, which has a pretty "interesting" build system.

I would very much recommend to anyone who has a soft-spot for build-systems and/or Guile to take a look.

However, the experience of hacking a build system in Guile is amazing! And I'm certain the show-stoppers will be resolved some time soon.

It feels rude to say: “It’s not a good use of my time to explain what’s wrong with this PR.”

But I also don’t want to put a lot of effort to something nicer if I’m not even talking to a person but to an LLM by proxy.

I don’t like this.

I’ve heard tell that “favorites” don’t actually do anything on mastodon, but since they’re federated, don’t they increase the speed at which a message is propagated across the fediverse? Or are they local-only?

I'm just gonna say it: I think the amount of blood I'm supposed to give during routine labs is excessive. I *need* some of that to live! What are you doing with all of those vials, making a smoothie?
