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.

This week's career limiting accessibility regression from @github is to not show comments in pull request diff any more. There's a separate comment panel which you can look at (but not at the same time as the diff) where there are indications of content replies but these cannot be interacted with using standard accessibility tools.

I review very long pull requests for work and as a volunteer maintainer and I am not sure why we're okay with this constant march of degraded experience.

I’ve seen a lot of articles and posts about AI that use the term “like it or not” as in “like it or not, AI is here, and we might as well get used to it” and that is such bullshit.

Like it or not, ableism is here… like it or not, racism is here… like it or not, fascism is here.

No, fuck that, I will resist. I will speak out. I will fight back.

You do not have to roll over and accept the shit corporations and the existing power structure try to force upon you.

We can build a better world.

I'm happy that you can finally outsource all the boring coding to a chatbot: arxiv.org/pdf/2505.09598

I will hopefully be dead before the water wars of 2052, but our children won't. They will hate us for this.

Here is a nice accompanying dashboard: app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjo

If I read the data correctly, 100 billion queries consume as much water as 100 million people do annually.

6 months ago, ChatGPT alone handled 2.5 billion queries/day. You can probably extrapolate from that...

«Stoolap - High-performance embedded SQL database in Rust»

Have any of you tried it before and what is your experience with it? Can it be used in the same way as SQLite? I ask because the open source project is relatively new, i.e. are there certain arguments to (not) use it productively?

티빙에서 테러맨 방영하길래 웹툰 느낌 생각하고 봤는데 작화는 뭐 그냥그냥 그랬는데 성우가 하나같이 맘에 들지 않음. 웹툰 보면서 상상했던 그 목소리가 아님 ㅡ,.ㅡ

목소리 톤이 약간은 어둡고 그랬으면 좋았을 것을… 너무 밝고 하이톤들이여
#테러맨

May be an illustration of poster and text that says '히어로인가, 테러리스트인가 티빙 티빙오리지널 오 오리지널 테러맨 TERROR MAN TVING 2026년 1월 독점 공개'

As I mainly browse the web using , which has no JS support, I can say that, yes, some sites require JS.

Some site that, when loaded in a full browser, display only text! Blog posts! Not even pictures or shiny effect. No, a few paragraphs of text.

And they don’t load at all without JS.

What kind of effort does it require to make sure that you straight-text-only blog doesn’t work without ?

Seriously…

I'm playing around with Offer activities in Fedify. The AP Vocab provides this, easy peasy.

✅ Alice OFFERS Book to Bob
✅ Bob ACCEPTS Alice's OFFER

Or:

✅ Bob OFFERS Rotten Tomato to Alice
❌ Alice REJECTS Bob's OFFER

----------------

But I'm not clear if this is right:

❓Alice ANNOUNCES OFFER of Labubu to Followers?

❓Bob OFFERS $10 for Labubu to Alice?

❓ Alice ACCEPTS Bob's OFFER of $10 for Labubu?

✅ Alice OFFERS Labubu to Bob

✅ Bob ACCEPTS Labubu

@box464Jeff Sikes I think the Announce isn't really needed in the first place, the original Create should allow the object to reach its audience. Also, Offer is an activity, so the first one feels odd. I'd just Create a Note with the details, or some custom object if you want to have it used as a special logic for the frontend, or want to use custom fields for price for instance. Maybe using schema.org's Product (I just find the fact that they use their own Offer type for the price a bit confusing)
