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.
2 hours at at desk is about all I can manage right now without pain.
So that’s super fun.
"Lawmakers in both Maryland’s House of Delegates and Senate are set to discuss the bill, called HB0027 in the House and SB0392 in the Senate, next week, with hearings scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday."
If you live in Maryland, be sure to call your representatives and let them know you want them to support this bill!

The world is drowning in slop and so many artists still feel the need to say "sorry for wasting your time with my silly doodles" type of stuff when writing a blog posts or posting new works.
Believe in yourself! You're humanity last line of defence againt hopelessness and nihilism.
Congressman Jamie Raskin just said that he was able to view the full and unredacted Epstein Files, and searching Donald Trump's name resulted in "MORE THAN A MILLION" results.
We knew of 38,000 mentions. That means we know of only ~3% of Trump's involvement with a convicted child sexual abuser and sex trafficker.
Anyone still not ready to impeach and remove him is complicit. Period.
“However, some users may not have to go through either form of age verification. Discord is also rolling out an age inference model that analyzes metadata like the types of games a user plays, their activity on Discord, and behavioral signals like signs of working hours or the amount of time they spend on Discord.”

Me and some friends have been trying to be ready for when the day comes. Installing our own chat software, our own forum software, our own video conferencing system, and so on. It’s all less polished than Discord but if you’re trying to find a way out of Discord, I feel that this is a way that works. Go slowly, install and use one piece after another, and use a “bridge” to connect the old world (Discord) with the new world (your own).

The answer is not “have you tried wearing noise canceling headphones”.
The answer is “don’t let extroverts decide on office policy and design”.

how is speed shovelling not an Olympic event yet? We're getting lots of practice.
AI analysis continues to be junk. I wrote an issue with some notes on a tricky corner case for some code we'd just merged. Some user swept in soon after, wrote a ton of plausible sounding analysis, then immediately opened a PR. They claimed they only used AI to translate, not to code or write. They were obviously lying, because I came back this morning and did actual analysis. https://github.com/pallets/werkzeug/issues/3105

While it's obviously good that the EU becomes more independent from the US, the focus on having this be a software based solution is scary.
We can already see in Sweden, how Swish has created digital exclusion, where some people cannot pay for products and services, just because they have the wrong/too old phone.
Cards might not be perfect, but at least they are ~20€/year pieces of plastic, not 500€ phones that can become unsupported at any point in time.

同年代の恋バナは焦る
This is Molly
We got her from a rescue. Unfortunately, while she was there, she caught calicivirus, which led to stomatitis. Her body thought her teeth were invaders. She couldn't eat because of the pain
The vet said they needed to remove all her teeth - but don't worry, cats don't need teeth
Okay
In the end, they removed all but the canines - and she has been fine. She eats happily now. And she eats a lot
So I guess cats don't really need teeth
"By the end of 1994, there were roughly 10,000 websites on the web. It was still early days and most of the websites were quite basic in structure."
1994: Publishing comes to the Web — and design matters
1994 marks the Web’s shift into a publishing medium. As site authors seek control over formatting and design, the WWW-Talk mailing list hosts an early debate over style sheets and presentation.

firefox - sluggish, shoving AI in everything, randomly has stuff like canvas and keystroke events stop working
try librewolf - sites don't work because loading is bad for privacy
try waterfox - sites don't work because loading is bad for privacy
try floorp - you have to edit about:config to disable AI shit
try vivaldi - blinds me with a splash screen every time I open a new window
I fucking hate how everything is terrible now. We can't even have a functional browser.
If you're searching Mastodon, there are special phrases called "operators" that you can include to narrow down your search.
For example, if you just want to search your own posts you can include the operator from:me alongside your keywords.
There's a complete guide to searching Mastodon including a list of all the operators at:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-search-for-stuff-on-mastodon
You can combine several operators in one search to narrow it even further, or include a minus sign - to exclude stuff.

This is very interesting and it's great this kind of research is being done!

This is one development organization. So I wonder how much culture plays into it. If you have a grind mindset, maybe focused more on competition than collaboration, using AI could feed into this.
I already read a lot of stuff about keeping multiple agents running at all times, juggling between them. While I'm sure there are useful applications of this, I suspect a grind culture plays into this that makes people want to show off how busy they are.
@grimalkinaCat Hicks has written a lot about the cultural aspects of software dev, which is influencing me to ask questions like that.
apparently NetFront still exists

Everyone knows about ARM chips and some people even know the "A" secretly stands for "Acorn" who created the Atom and BBC Micro.
Less well known is the ARC chip where the "A" stands for Argonaut, the game company I once worked for. The ARC was developed by building on expertise that came from designing the SuperFX chip. ARC is everywhere - but in embedded systems so it's not a household name.
Anyway, I mention this as I just learnt that ARC now has the same home as MIPS: https://www.eetimes.com/globalfoundries-mips-to-buy-arc-ip-business-from-synopsys/
