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.
one of my most controversial views (genuinely) is that usb mini b is an awful connector and it's good that it was deprecated
people obsess over mini-b like it is the sun microsystems or something!
With all the recent discord shenanigans I finally decided to consider Matrix a whole lot more.
Therefore I've made my own synapse instance fully running at home (that is mostly a test to see if more services could be hosted at my place) to replace discord little by little.
It's not gonna replace my usage of discord entirely for now, but I hope it will with some time.
My matrix handle for those who would like to talk there:

今朝ふと思ったんだけど、 YouTube って有料の Premium で広告消せるっていう風になっていることで、広告が悪質であるほど有料契約が増えるという構造になってないか…？
まさに自分がそういうルートで契約したひとりなのだけど（子どもが YouTube 見てるときに出てくる広告とかに「う〜ん？」となって有料契約した）
1年くらい前はだいぶ下品な広告が多かった印象だけど、最近どうなんだろう

There's a very realistic future where small towns scattered all around the USA (and other places, but there's gonna be a shit ton of it here) will find themselves stuck with half built or buit-but-empty datacenters when this bubble bursts.
I think those cities should seize them from the bankrupt shell companies that will eventually own them on paper, and operate them as public utilities. Ideally, as part of or alongside public broadband utilities.
sometimes the data model is wrong and it shows up in other features. so you might have to change it a few times. but you shouldn't be embarrassed to make the UI reflect it, at least on the write path. on the read path aggregation is expected but the write path can't be fooled
i'm new to "design", and the lesson i unexpectedly keep learning over and over is that the UI should actually reflect the data model. when i try to hide the underlying model fearing it would be confusing, it actually ends up way more confusing and cause contradictions than if i had just embraced it

I think one of the most important things I have learned in life is that the more you practice having agency, the better you get at it
And for some of us, you’re not going to get the things you need via any other route, so you gotta start muddling through the discomfort
I really love HTML text fragment URIs¹: they let you append a `...#:~:text=...` fragment to a URL and highlight & jump to a particular span of text anywhere in the page without requiring the document author to have assigned an `id=...` element anchor. Hugely useful.
It took quite a long time for them to land in Mozilla², and it's instructive to take a look through the process of implementing it to see some non-obvious reasons why.

今天是侄女出世D53，她開始會「玩」了，我也偶爾陪她玩幾十分鐘，努力延長她躺在床上或沙發上而不哭的時間。這時期的她愈來愈可愛，因為她晶亮的眼睛會盯著人或物品看，她從一個懵懵懂懂來到世上什麼也不會、搞不清楚的新生兒，漸漸成為一個對周圍的人或物品有反應的可愛嬰兒。
中午我拿到新玩具（？）玩給她看，她愣愣地看著，很被彩色木頭柵欄玩具的顏色與裡面滾動的木珠聲音吸引。最近我也會輕抓她的小腿，把它們左右擺動，配合著節奏念道「啊tsiànn-pîng、啊tò-pîng，啊正爿倒爿正爿倒爿……」配合我念到哪一邊就把她的腿擺到哪一邊，意外地幾次在她好像要哭的時候，成功轉移注意力讓她恢復好奇的表情。因為她的反應不錯，我在她哭號的時候就抱起來拍拍，發現她會哭可能是因為胃不舒服，所以抱起來就吐奶了……XD 這樣幾次後，我決定要嘗試睡眠訓練——僅僅是嘗試讓她在嬰兒床上入睡——我嘗試了水晶音樂和安撫巾，但在大約4、5次反覆放下、哭號、抱起安撫、放下……的循環後，我驚覺當我抱起安撫好她，走回臥室時，她會在臥室裡還沒放下就哭，很怕她對臥室有不好的印象，只好宣告失敗，讓弟媳把侄女綁在胸前入睡。

“AI does actually make you more 10x productive, once you learn how. I know some of you are holding on to old September/October-ish beliefs about this, from last time you tried it, and you respectfully disagree.
But if you haven’t used specifically Opus 4.5/4.6 with specifically #Claude #Code for at least an hour, then you’re in for a real shock. Because all your complaining about AI not being useful for real-world tasks is obsolete. AI coding hit an event horizon on November 24th, 2025. It’s the real deal. And unfortunately, all your other #tools and models are pretty terrible in comparison.” — Steve Yegg

NEW: The FBI interview implicating Trump for raping and assaulting a 14 year old took place [2 weeks earlier and was posted] one day before Epstein was found dead in his jail cell, and emails about the credible accusation came around the time Blanche visited Ghislaine Maxwell in prison.

I’m taking another Leave of Absence because the last one really didn’t happen. I was still sorting out paperwork getting to everyone from everyone else around the same time I was returning to work.
The point of these LoAs is to forget about work and concentrate on your inner self, after all. So the above experience seems counter-productive.
Anyway, it’s been less than a week but I’m still sleeping until the late-morning; and yesterday I was in bed until 17:45. I feel shame.
Somehow I need to get my act together and find things to do during the day, otherwise I literally have no reason to get out of bed.
Oh, me…
