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.

There was supposed to be a ForumWG meeting this week, but due to low turnout, and the fact that most threadiverse implementors couldn't actually make the meeting time, I have decided to indefinitely postpone the monthly meetings in favour of discussions on @forum-wg directly.

Note once again that the new address is @forum-wg — the old address (@forum-wg@community.nodebb.org) will publish a Move to migrate its followers at some point to this new address.

Fuck this fucking timeline. How is this even a thing that needs to be considered? Fuck tech bros with the dirtiest volleyballs possible.

The state Senate unanimously passed legislation Wednesday that prohibits employers from requesting, requiring or encouraging employees to have microchips implanted in their bodies. The bill previously passed the House of Representatives on an 87-6 vote last month. It now heads to the governor’s desk for final approval.

Maryam Hedayati, an expert in human-computer interaction, has joined the computer science department as a member of the teaching faculty.

Inspired by her undergraduate professors Carleton College, Hedayati is excited to introduce Princeton students to computer science. In an intro class, she said, students are learning to think in a whole new way. "I really enjoy helping them through that.”

You may look at a problem and think "Aha! The solution is to run my own email server." Now you have two problems, Google is marking all of your email as spam, an unknown number of threat actors using your server to spread malware because you forgot to patch something, and a small pile of subpoenas.

@promoviczprom™️ @laurenshof It's "entertaining content" for sure, but what it also gets at is not just the technical side of things, but the social one, and how we are caught between both, and our systems are the output of the conflicts between technical goals and social dynamics.

@evanEvan Prodromou is my friend, and I'm not super proud of that exchange, because I lost patience publicly, because this is a sore issue for me. But of course, you tear things back, and Evan and I had a nice chat afterwards, and actually have hung out quite a bit before and since, and behind all of that, both of us were going through things in our personal lives.

And yet the decisions we make in these messy social dynamics influence the kinds of technical systems which in turn influence the kinds of social systems we can have!

@promoviczprom™️ @laurenshof @evanEvan Prodromou It does worry me though, and there's a reason it's so personal to me. The lack of signing of messages and content-addressing have lead to serious issues that, while ATproto does worse than us on the aspects of power distribution, it does better in terms of content survivability and portability, and these are things I thought were important *all the way back in ActivityPub standardization*, but we couldn't get to yet.

There is no "technical problems vs social problems" dichotomy. Social situations influence technical design, and technical design informs the kinds of social systems that are possible. Protocol development is all of this, mass multiplied.

https://www.bunka.go.jp/bunkacho/shokan_hojin/94340601.html 文化庁がこう言っていても、そもそも財務省の資料には「少子化・人口減少の下、将来世代の負担を軽減するためには、法律を見直し、現在の受益者から適切な入場料を徴収し、サスティナブルな収益構造にしていく必要」とまで明確に書かれていて、財務省は予算を削るために言っている。文化庁が財務省とどれだけ戦う気があるかということになるけど、無いんじゃないの。

소위 오타쿠 장르조차도, 잘 모르는 상태에서 불호 표현 잔뜩 소문내 놨다가 막상 실물을 보고 치이게 되면 주변에 면구스러워서 덕질 하는 티도 못 내고 끙끙 앓아야 하는 처지가 되고 마는 것인데... 인생과 세상의 더 진지하고 중요한 문제에 있어서도 크게 다르지 않다고 생각한다.

Geopolitics I guess

I can see how people let the Nazis rise up under their noses.

Poisonous political parties are allowed to grow until they're too big to ban or stop. Huge disastrous wars happen overseas, or on the same continent, or just a couple of countries over. The people or organisations who are supposed to represent and protect us instead endanger us.

If we're lucky, we can go on news diets to protect our mental state. At some point people will ignore the stuff closer to home too.

@liaizonwakest ⁂ asks me to weigh in on this over here bsky.app/profile/wake.st/post/

My friend, you know not what you ask of me. If I wrote about this it would not be "ATproto conference taking Google money bad" it would be a 500 page piece called "There Is No Ethical Fundraising Under Capitalism" that people will blame me for being simultaneously overly sympathetic and damning

뭔가에 대해 상상과 추측으로 악마화하는 것을 경계하게 되는데, 첫째로는 그게 추측인데도 스스로 속아서 사실로 믿게 되기 때문이고, 둘째로는 훗날 내가 그 악마의 영역을 가로질러야 할 때 추태를 안 보이고 넘어가기 쉽지 않게 되기 때문이다. 보이는 증거와 드러난 사실만으로도 악마화할 수 있는 대상은 여기저기 많다. 하지만 아직 도래하지 않은 상상의 적을, "합리적 추론"을 통해서라도 머릿속에서 만들어내고 싶지는 않다.

This is in a PR where Shougo, another long-time contributor, communicates entirely in walls of unparseable AI slop text: github.com/vim/vim/pull/19413

What a pathetic state after decades of active, thoughtful work. "I asked the chatbot how to write this code", "Well, I asked my chatbot, and "he" doesn't like it". What a fucking embarrassment.

> Thank you for the detailed feedback! I've addressed all the issues:
> Thank you for the feedback! I agree that following the Vim 8+ naming convention makes sense.
> Thank you for the feedback on naming!
> Thanks for the suggestion! After thinking about this more, I believe repeat_set() / repeat_get() is the right choice:
> Thank you for the feedback. A brief clarification.

This isn't even rewriting his own thoughts in whatever bland style the chatbot can muster, it's just dumping people's comments into the bot and copy-pasting whatever it shits out.

This is The Future that boosters want: An endless bikeshedding session where agreeable chatbots trade excessively polite thank-yous and screenfuls of bullet-pointed lists. A bunch of children, getting paid to play around with tamagotchis.

What a bleak fucking future to dream of.
