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.

The mildest of frustrations given all Debian has given me, but following the instructions in the guide only to find that the tool I’ve got from the apt repos is less than current and missing the option I need feels like a frequent story.

"Steam Next Fest" is happening now and I want to let you know about some unreleased games which have demos up for the next few weeks.
1. "868-BACK" by Michael Brough
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3304110/868BACK/
This is the sequel to 868-HACK (the Best, most satisfyingly fast roguelike). The sequel will include a "campaign" mode, which this demo omits, so this demo is basically a free, more refined version of 868-HACK.
2. "Titanium Court"
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2364580/Titanium_Court/
I literally do not know what this is.
ONE BILLION personally-identifiable records were leaked by IDMerit an “AI-powered digital identity verification solutions provider”. The leaked data included:
Full names
Addresses
Post codes
Dates of birth
National IDs
Phone numbers
Genders
Email addresses
Telco metadata
Good thing we’re not uploading personally-identifiable documents for age or identity verification or anything whatsoever OH WAIT
FUCK all this surveillance tech. FUCK this identity verification bullshit. No one can be trusted with this information.

Wes McKinney on the mythical agent-month, install Peon Ping to employ a Peon today, Andreas Kling explains why Ladybird is adopting Rust, Cloudflare has a new MCP server that's quite efficient, and Elliot Bonneville thinks the only moat left is money.

It's not a good morning (probably) for the person who was supposed to fly from Istanbul to New York today and gave the travel agency my work phone's number. On the positive side, apparently they got a refund on the flight (a full refund? don't ask me, the text messages don't say).
Duże modele językowe od OpenAI, Google, Meta, Anthropic i xAI zapamiętują (memoryzują) znacznie większy zakres danych treningowych niż się spodziewano. Badanie z zeszłego miesiąca może być argumentem przeciwko firmom tworzącym te modele, broniącym się przed pozwami z ochrony prawa autorskiego opinią, że "LLM-y "uczą się" z chronionych prawem utworów, ale nie przechowują kopii".
Badaczom ze Stanforda i Yale udało się nakkłonić LLM-y od OpenAI, Google, Anthropic i xAI do wygenerowania tysięcy słów z trzynastu książek, w tym "Gry o tron", "Igrzysk śmierci" oraz "Hobbita".
Efektem żądanie dokończenia zdań z książki doprowadziło do tego, że Gemini 2.5 zreprodukowało z wysoką dokładnością 76.8 proc. "Harry'ego Pottera i Kamienia Filozoficznego" a Grok 3 - ponad 70 proc.

Armin was once one of the most prolific programmers in Python. Says he never writes code anymore. Seeing more and more people like him write stuff like this on what are supposedly computer programming forums. https://lobste.rs/s/qmjejh/ai_is_slowly_munching_away_my_passion#c_jcgdju
Notably, once a person crosses this threshold, I see them still hang out on programming forums, but they never talk about any of the puzzles of programming anymore. Only about running agents. Which feels strange and sad. Why hang out on the forums at all then?
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber 
@jalefkowitJason Lefkowitz in Armin's case specifically, a not-insubstantial part of the answer seems to be sneering at people who don't use "AI" (including here on Mastodon)
That's not a very charitable read, but I have run out of charity for the way he has performed his enthusiasm to the community
I'm seeing the same thing in some of the Python spaces I inhabit. The users who go all-in on it stop talking about programming.

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber In another thread he defends DHH and Andreas Kling. Maybe that’s why.

France's Foreign Ministry has announced that it is revoking the government access of US Ambassador Charles Kushner, father of President Trump's son-in-law, after he failed to appear when summoned regarding comments made by the Trump administration concerning the killing of a far-right activist.
Playing the Doctor is not remotely similar to playing Rose, but I've seen her in other things and I think she could do it, and I think she could do it well. And the timeline where we look back on this as "iconic companion promoted to Doctor, and becomes equally iconic as that" sounds really cool to me.

So it looks like zirk.us has died (RIP 2026-02-23, hope it comes back). But this is just what I needed to finally get my own instance - we will see how this goes.
My previous account was 
@Paperposts@zirk.usMurray GM - Paperposts
So this is my new home, expect the usual mix of design, dogs, data, art, snark, nature, typos and general slapdashedness
Sorry if folk are getting follow requests and pings, please follow back as this will be my home going forward.
UPDATE- it came back up, I have migrated anyway

I feel like there was a real loss of identity when an IC software engineer becomes a tech lead/EM.
Instead of heads down writing code, it’s more about reviewing PRs, spec-ing out next steps, thinking high level about the architecture, etc.
AI is looking like it will force that transition on huge swaths of software engineers at some point.
Maybe not 100% and maybe not tomorrow, but it seems pretty likely to change the profession pretty dramatically.
It’s gonna be a tricky inflection point.
