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 can't stop thinking about the LLM-generated compiler that passes all the unit tests but emits inner loops that benchmark over 150,000x slower than a gcc debug build. I couldn't possibly have intentionally come up with such a funny demonstration of the point of genuine expertise https://harshanu.space/en/tech/ccc-vs-gcc/
@retech Yes, we are in an arms race. They've changed tactics.
And guess what? We found out. Because they're being watched. Because people are out there and being alert. And because that open outrage actually makes the media pay attention.
People are rallying against those warehouses, forcing their local gov'ts to refuse approvals. The new offices? Building management can decide the risk is not worth the rent.
@retech I think the important thing to remember is that *we* are forcing *them* to change tactics.
Which means yes, standing in the streets is most definitely hurting them. They can't bring in the numbers being demanded of them. We're slowing them and costing them money.

I had to say goodbye to my sweet little kitty Eva last week after 15 years of snuggles and love 😿
She was by my side almost my entire adult life, and I’m really missing her presence already.
Now I mentioned advancing Spritely's core tech. You may have seen that Spritely is very demo-oriented. But it's often a bit more than just a demo, we've shipped a bunch of games built on our tech so you can see things work, but that's also because a game is something more substantial that tends to push the limits of things and helps us stress that the core ideas are working, and working performantly, while demonstrating core ideas in a fun way. But an application that users use every day is a different matter. There's a lot of things you have to get right. And we've spent several years in the demos and games phase. It's time to start getting this stuff in users' hands. And that will improve the whole Spritely ecosystem too, so that you can also use Spritely's tech to do other wild things.
What kinds of wild things? Well really, why shouldn't all software be social and collaborative? But I am also talking about real, performance-critical things. And yes, returning to games again, but take a look at this game demo we put together Goblinville: https://spritely.institute/news/goblinville-a-spring-lisp-game-jam-2025-retrospective.html
That's cool and realtime and honestly is something you can't do on top of ActivityPub for instance; the latency requirements are too tight. This is a good example of the use of our protocol OCapN.

What I'm listening to today: "Sex", the Necks
This is an Australian jazz trio whose "albums" all seem to be very long single pieces. This is their first release, and it hits a satisfying loungy groove in second one then digs in for *an hour*, constantly shifting the whole time, like a knob is being very slowly turned up on a single emotion. If you like electronic music with very long track lengths this basically is jazz custom made for you. Like, Plastikman fans attn

I just remembered a programming technique from the days when I had access to a Commodore Pet.
I wanted a graph plotting program to allow users to type in a function and plot it. I could have written an expression parser. But far easier was to print out a line of code for the function and a RUN command (or similar), place the cursor in the right place, put a carriage return or two into the keyboard buffer, and stop the program. IIRC the Pet literally read input from the frame buffer (which allowed you to edit code by cursoring into the output of LIST) so this would update your program and continue.
"An AI Agent Published A Hit Piece On Me" is a *WILD* read, as is the issues, and the blackmail blogposts (and later "apology") by the AI agent https://theshamblog.com/an-ai-agent-published-a-hit-piece-on-me/
TIL that some people upload 10h looped versions of a single song to YouTube 🤦♂️
Oh and one more talk I highly recommend, very complimentary to 
@wingoAndy Wingo's Wastrel talk IMO (tho not using the same tech):
High-Speed Linux Application Execution in the Browser with Binary Translation https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/NABRSD-high-speed_linux_application_execution_in_the_browser_with_binary_translation/
To everyone who pointed it out, yes my Lisp is Clay talk video wasn't up when I posted this! Here it is now: https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/HDE7JZ-lisp-is-clay/
I had a really strong positive reaction from the audience on this talk! If you've ever been wondering "well why is Spritely in lisp/scheme and what are those lisp people doing over there anyway" OR if you have had a hard time articulating why Lisp is great (and not just "it has macros"!) here's a talk for you!
The companies have launched a pilot program in Atlanta, where “during the rare event a vehicle door is left ajar, preventing the car from departing, nearby Dashers are notified, allowing Waymo to get its vehicles back on the road quickly.”

when i was a kid, Android hacking was wild, i made my phone look goofy as fuck, overclocked it to the point of instability, patched games to unlock all the items, hell once I even got a Debian container to run with X11 forwarding....
I jailbroke my ipod and installed a patch that turned my homescreen into a physics engine
Now running containers and VMs on your phone is boring, iOS shortcuts can literally call out to shell scripts running in an x86 interpreter
this is the state of android hacking in 2026

Vznikl nový nástroj pro skriptování #AbraFlexi z příkazové řádky.

At my library's repair cafe as a volunteer.
It's the first time they're running it and they're hoping to do this regularly.
I came in thinking I would help with computer troubleshooting... but they have enough people doing that.
So I figured I could help with Linux OS install... but the local Linux Install Party is here and has enough people.
Then a guy brought in a bicycle! And no one is here doing bike repair. But I brought my allen wrench set and a multitool.
So I just got done running and installing a new bicycle brake line on an older bike. Brake works just fine now!
I'll bring my full set of bike tools next time!
This year's #Pintopia is strange. Normally in crowdfunding, you have an explosive first few days, then a very slow climb in the middle and another spike towards the end.
This year, you have an extra-explosive first few days, then mostly stagnation and now cancellations during the end. 😬

I am still completely fucking baffled about why people hook up LLMs to their systems administration tasks.
"Twitch plays sysop" is not a fucking reasonable workflow, my fucking gods.

No single post in this thread will prepare you for the next post in this thread. I'm beginning to think that tools like OpenClaw are professional malpractice and should be outright banned from civil society.
