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.

"Is there a point to understanding things?" is, I think, the single biggest open question about Software Engineering as a discipline that has opened up over the last 18 months.
I expect it'll be answered in the affirmative, but
a) I don't think there'll be consensus on that for another 3 years
b) I don't think the people who are acting as if the negative is true will ever realise that that's what they think

Hi, can anyone give me some pointers around learning coding on the #AtariST ? I picked up a copy of Atari ST Internals, going to get a 68000 book, but any tips on setting up an assembler/coding environment, that sort of thing. I have very, very little assembly-language programming experience. Many thanks #demoscene #programming

We have our first chips back! It is very exciting! Spatial and temporal memory safety, fine-grained compartmentalisation, and also a load of other big chips on a board, so you can play 'Where's ICENI?' on the board picture!

Hey #Reticulum hobbyists and dev folks. I just installed the "Reticulum Mesh Chat" on my Mac OS and need to learn how to share my account info publicly (and what not to share) and if there are any users up for chatting to help me see this in the wild working. Any advice for newbie getting started welcome.

I've been looking for a mental picture of Claude, and I think I might have found it.

A "naming things is hard" anecdote I was just reminded of by an old web page:
In the 1990s, when 32-bit versions of Windows were introduced, a new executable file format was needed for native 32-bit programs. The existing 16-bit file format used by Windows 3.x was called "NE", for "New Executable". The 32-bit one was named "PE", for "Portable Executable".
Windows 95 could still run 16-bit Windows 3.x programs. But Windows 3.x couldn't run the newer 32-bit ones. (Ok, there was Win32s, but it had very restricted usefulness.)
In other words, the format called "New" was the older one of the two, *and* the format called "Portable" was the one that didn't work everywhere!

Yeah so add PCWorld to the list of outlets you can't trust anymore. This report was bogus.

@tunubesecamirioTu nube seca mi río urges us to leave #TechnoOptimism behind, in the discussion about big data centres with empty promises to "create jobs" and to solve the electricity and water needs. We already know that these promises are false. In reality people loose their land, ecosystems die because of lack of (good) water. We have seen this happen in many places around the world.
These data centres are generally used for extractive data business models and not rrally for the local economy.

There's talk on if they can take LLM generated code - which is public domain, and then license it under MIT. They can! You can take something public domain and put a license on it. That's not illegal.
Can they enforce the license on the original public domain output? Probably not.

I've seen a lot of people talking about the practice of code review in a way that I consider unrealistic lately. So here are my thoughts on what code review is—and isn't—for: https://blog.glyph.im/2026/03/what-is-code-review-for.html

You can use /etc/make.conf to control the options used to compile software
on this system. Example entries are in
/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf and in make.conf(5).
For options that are set for building FreeBSD's kernel and its world, see
