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.

@dansup “how to get users for your fediverse project: - like shove it down their throats”

Ya that's right this is exactly what @GargronEugen Rochko did to make Mastodon a success. /s

I don't think I've ever heard even otherwise awful people like Zuck and Musk referring to the users of their platform in such deregatrory terms.

뭐 한국도 전쟁 몇 개 참여했다지만 사실 직접 일으킨 건 없고 그래도 뭐라하면 그래서 그걸 반성하는 의미에서 한다고 하면 되죠 노벨도 지가 폭탄 만들어서 전쟁으로 하도 죽으니까 참회(?)하는 의미로 평화상 만든 거잖아요? 한국이 북한과도 잘 지내고 이제 전쟁 참여 안 하고 그 전에 참여했던 걸 반성한다는 의미로 만들면 되지 않나 싶기도 가장 큰 문제는 지금 당장 만들면 트럼프가 지 달라고 떼쓸까봐ㅋㅋ 최소한 뒤지고 나서 만들어야 할 듯

『ブルシット・ジョブ』がいってるのは無意味な仕事ほど高給で意義のある仕事ほど待遇が悪い傾向があるということなんだけど、これは教員の待遇が不当に低い状況をうまく説明してると思うんだけどそういう文脈の話をあまりみたことない(むっちゃ寡聞ですが

@steveSteve Bate I've just seen a FEP-34c1 today which uses the TREE hypermedia vocabulary (which I wasn't familiar with) to ask from servers a particular representation of existing collections. Have a look if it's similar to your ideas.

What is honestly the point of house or car alarms. Literally noone cares. It'd be into hour 3 of people tutting and rolling their eyes before anyone even thought of calling the cops. You could burgle an entire street, fence the goods and retire to a warm non-extradition country by the time anyone came to investigate. We need a new system. Is there a noise that would make you drop what you're doing and spring into action? Or perhaps insurers should offer a percentage incentive? Or if you catch a robber in the act, the po-po should allow you to do whatever you want to them for half an hour. Really go to town on them. Silly makeup, cut their hair, do that really annoying finger in the ear thing. Anything. Say unkind remarks, spin them around until they're dizzy, make them eat a salad with no dressing. Just totally dry salad them. It would serve as a deterrent aswell. Noones gonna be out there robbin' knowing they might get dry saladed. I honestly don't know why I'm not paid for my very great ideas.

The software engineer work has changed with AI tools.

AI engineers have already become used to the mode of operation where you need to keep the machines working on valuable things, otherwise they are only depreciating in value.

Software engineers are becoming to be like that as well with AI assistants; they need to keep them working, and not only that, working in a way that creates value.

This has always been what managers have been doing, keeping software engineers productive.

It requires not only different skills, but also a different way of understanding work as it transforms from labor-intensive to capital-intensive.

Have you noticed a change in how you understand value creation when you have a machine creating the value?

IRCv3 is shaping to be amazingly good!

here's the things it offers, today, right now, on a chat server we just set up in one evening:

  • you don't need a bouncer (friggin finally)
  • there are moblie clients that work well
  • you can see backlog when joining a channel
  • you can browse chat history
  • you can connect from multiple devices with one account and nickname
  • if you disconnect, your nickname is still present in a channel you joined, marked as away
  • you can highlight or DM people who are away and they'll see your message when they join (without crutches like MemoServ)
  • there is a "last read message" marker and it is synchronized between multiple connections
  • messages have identifiers (and server timestamps) and replies can be tagged with the message you're replying to
  • messages can be redacted (for moderation)
  • you don't need to deal with fussy nonsense like NickServ authorization, ghosting, or such; connect with your username and password and that's it
  • there are typing notifiers, if you want them
  • there are message reactions, if you want them

here's the things it does not offer:

caveat: since IRCv3 is a true extension of IRCv2, the features listed above work if they're supported by both the server and the client. in my onboarding experience so far, people do not find it difficult to find a suitable client, but your mileage may vary. on the flipside, legacy clients will work just fine.

unexpectly, i realized that IRCv3 can completely replace Matrix rooms for my own group chat purposes, and i'm probably not going to set up any Matrix homeservers again; it's just not worth it and frankly I should instead put that effort into coming up with a file upload IRCv3 extension or something

生活感のある情報というか生々しい具体的なことはあまり書かないできたんだけど、SNSでまで社会的な属性をひっさげて人とやりとりしたくないのが理由の1つなのかなと今更自分でちょっと思った

Turns out Amazon had two outages in December caused by their IaaS management slop generator:

Amazon’s cloud ‘hit by two outages caused by AI tools last year’
theguardian.com/technology/202

> Reported issues at Amazon Web Services raise questions about firm’s use of artificial intelligence as it cuts staff

Sounds like things are not going well over at AWS.

> Michał Woźniak, a cybersecurity expert, said it would be nearly impossible for Amazon to completely prevent internal AI agents from making errors in future, because AI systems make unexpected choices and are extremely complex.

> “Amazon never misses a chance to point to “AI” when it is useful to them – like in the case of mass layoffs that are being framed as replacing engineers with AI. But when a slop generator is involved in an outage, suddenly that’s just ‘coincidence’,” he added.

Henlo.
