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.
From "your OS must enable you to declare your age" to "developers must attempt to verify your age" to "you must declare your age" to "you must prove your age" to "you must verify your identity to go online" in how long?

I'm sorry but I have to confess.
I see all Fedi users as their profile pictures.
If you're a furry and have furry art as a profile pic, or have a picture of your RL self, that will make sense to you.
But if you have a flower as your PFP, sorry, you're a talking flower now. Your pfp is your pet? You are a dog/cat/hamster. If your PFP is weird and abstract, you are a weird abstract critter.
If your pfp is the default white elephant for Mastodon, you are grouped in my brain with everyone else that uses it. Also, you are a talking elephant.
I hope you'll forgive me, somehow.
Also if your pfp is cute I definitely want to pet you. Sorryyyyy

I'll be giving a talk about Rust for CPython at #PyConUS this year! Very excited to share about what we've been working on and our plans!
This will be my first time speaking at PyConUS, so I'm also a bit nervous 😅
I struggled buying train or bus tickets in Luxemburg and just couldn't find info on where or how to do it. My capitalist mind cannot comprehend free public transport 🥹
minimitra now uses #PGlite instead of postgres:
It's a portable database, so the installation process will not require any sysadmin skills. You just need to install the rust compiler and npm (the latter is required for pglite, I plan to remove this dependency in the future).
I had to reset my database because pg_restore didn't work with pglite, but identity and actor ID have been preserved: @minimitra.

Hi all.
Just putting the feelers out as I'd love to know how many folks are using got on MacOs.
@teajaygrey does an amazing job every time I make a release of gameoftrees portable, but I could do with knowing how many of you are using it.
I made a change in the 0.123 release to fix socket handling for services such as gotwebd, which is good, but it's telling that it's taken this long, so I wonder how many users we have.
Let me know -- you can always email me at: thomas.adam22@gmail.com
Please boost this as much as possible, I'd appreciate it.
@trishalynnTrisha Lynn 🇵🇭 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 I hope that answers your question.
@trishalynnTrisha Lynn 🇵🇭 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 Oh, I should probably say: trust is what we do when we are not certain. If I receive my 10 millionth share from mastodon.social, and I decide to delay verifying it, there's a non-zero chance that this is the time that mastodon.social takes its heel turn and sends me fake data. Trust is accepting that non-zero chance. For users or developers that can't accept that chance, waiting to verify when the first user reads the data is still a great benefit, and also a lot easier to code for.
Currently looking up: how to send a fax in 2026
😵
And if you wondered who still use fax in 2026, Canada Revenue Agency does.
Also, is the solution to get a twillio fax number and vibe code an app for calling the API?

The higher the price of oil, the higher the cost to the average American. But the higher the price of oil, the more renewable energy looks both attractive and necessary. Too bad Donald Trump is trying to kill the US electric-vehicle and renewable energy markets.

Has anyone tried this, measured outcomes?
Asking because:

It found AGENTS.md “files tend to reduce task success rates compared to providing no repository context, while also increasing inference cost by over 20%.”

Mastodon includes an optional feature which lets you automatically delete your posts after a certain amount of time. There's a guide to using this feature including lots of questions answered at:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/deleting-posts-automatically-in-mastodon-after-a-certain-time-period
It's off by default, it only deletes stuff if you switch it on. You can also set it to keep certain posts, more info in the guide.
I've tried to answer questions about this feature in the guide, but let me know if I've missed anything.

I've loved this musical since the first time I watched it.
I almost know it by heart.
Despite the religious background, I simply love it.
Today, after more than 20 years, I was driving while listening to this piece and sang it at the top of my voice, just like I used to do on certain days 20 years ago.
Well… I felt better.
Too bad I missed the performance in Ferrara about ten years ago with Ted Neeley.
Did the JS spec seriously special-case variable scoping in `for(;;)` loops, just because of the common loop closure bug? Because its behavior now is way less intuitive, IMO. I had no idea that this:
```
for(let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
setTimeout(() => console.log(i), 1000)
}
```
Would log out 0 1 2. If you understand the rules around closure scope this seems way more bizarre than the 3 3 3 behavior that `var i` will give you.
I hope heaven exists so I can be together with my girlfriend and all my pets after I die.
I also need hell to exist because many people deserve it. Like most of the non-slave population in Dubai.

@trishalynnTrisha Lynn 🇵🇭 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 OK, so, you're good with the idea that the data doesn't have to be verified until the first user reads it, correct? We're good up until there?
@trishalynnTrisha Lynn 🇵🇭 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 Most of the benefits happen there. It would be great to see more ActivityPub implementations take that approach, because it would ease up on smaller servers. (Christine gave the example of when she shares posts by her friend Viv, which kills Viv's server.)
Question for people who choose not to use generative AI for ethical reasons: Do you make that choice despite accepting the growing evidence that it works (at least for some tasks, e.g. coding agents working on some kinds of software)? Or do you reject it because of the ethical problems *and* a belief that it doesn't actually work?
I'm thinking that principled rejection of generative AI might have to be the former kind, *despite* evidence that it works.
TIL Mickey Haller and Harry Bosch are half brothers. This is even more amazing than that fact about Fourier transforms.
