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.
Looks like many people may be fleeing 1Password soon, so I thought it’s time I share this blog post from 2021 again:
"Moving from 1Password to iCloud Keychain"

This looks like a really cool multicursor plugin for #neovim . I'm gonna give it a try and see how it works for me:
https://github.com/jake-stewart/multicursor.nvim
I've seen a lot of people say that multicursors are not the "vim way" of doing things. But for me, multicursors cover that gap where visual-block is not enough and recording a macro would be slower than doing the edit by hand.

Histomat of F/OSS: We should reclaim LLMs, not reject them

労働が非人間的になるのは「疎外」と呼ばれるけど、先日洪民憙さんの記事を読んだばかりだった。
Marxは『資本論』第一巻で、イギリスのラッダイト運動をこう評した。
労働者が機械そのものと機械の資本主義的利用とを区別し、したがって物質的生産手段そのものではなく、その社会的搾取形態を攻撃することを学ぶまでには、時間と経験が必要だった。
機織り機を打ち壊した労働者たちの怒りは正当だった。方向が間違っていただけだ。問題は機械ではなく、機械をめぐる資本主義的社会関係だった——機械が労働時間を短縮するどころか延長し、労働者を解放するどころか機械の付属物にしてしまうのは、機械の本性ではなく、機械を配置する方式の問題だった。Marxは彼らを嘲笑したのではなく、闘争が成熟していく過程を叙述したのだ。

For the Y2K, we weren't allowed to change any of the original code running on the AS/400. That code was always off-limit, and had existed since the 1970s as far as I know.
We created an intermediate tool that would look at transactions going into and out of the database.
When data was coming out, we'd convert the dates to 4-digit years. Then when data was going in, we'd convert 4-digit years back to 2-digit years.
I have no idea if 26 years later that is still in place. I suspect so. But the thought that banks will authorize AI and "vibe coding" to magically replace all this off-limit code running on the back end is hard to believe.

Today the world has lost a light 😢 Rob was a good friend and amazing human being. His passion for open communities, open data and music was infectious and unmatched. If you have never had a chance to meet Rob, please take a moment to read these two pieces by him to understand the difference he made in the world:
* his essay in Open Advice about how not to start a community: http://open-advice.org
* the story about using a cake to get your project paid by Big Tech: https://blog.metabrainz.org/2013/12/05/using-cakes-for-social-engineering/

Does anyone believe it's just an embarrassing coincidence that the genAI hucksters have such a baldly reductive stance on the value of human life? Do genAI users empathize with Trump's apologists?

また君が代は大切な人の長寿を願う歌というやつが例のSNSでたくさんリプついてて、たぶんAI投稿なんだけど、ついてるリプも「高校の頃にラブソングと習った」「天皇のことじゃない」「現代文で読むほうが理解できる」みたいな、たぶんこれもAIによる存在しない過去が捏造されている。与作が木を切っていたほうが、まだいくらかマシだったかもしれん。

mortality of a friend
A long time friend of mine passed away on the 4th of Feb. I read about it today. I have a lot of shared friends that don't know, but I don't want to be the one to tell them... I might have to be the one to tell them...

Good morning! #FediMTL is getting started! Follow along in this thread for live posting about what's happening on stage.
I believe you may still be able to purchase a live streaming ticket, too so check that out.
If you'd rather not see this thread, you can mute me for a few hours. :)
Fediverse people: who do we like these days for buying DRM-free music in lossless format? Bandcamp is the obvious one but I know a bunch of (often artist-friendlier) alternatives got started up when BC had some ownership changes. However, I've lost track of them.

Fediverse-ActivityPub already significantly diverges from W3C-ActivityPub. I think eventually they will become completely different protocols, that just requires a bit of coordination among devs.
Anyone have experience with django-extra-views, positive or negative?
