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.

This is such an end of an era that fresh Python programmers can’t even fathom.

PyPy used to be our hope! No major Python conference that didn’t suggest that they’re gonna fix the GIL and make time go backwards. And yeah, it’s really fast! I suspect the money-backed focus on performance in CPython combined with the compat paper cuts PyPy always came with has sealed its fate. I‘ve watched its decline over the years so I’m not surprised, but damn.

"What the Epstein case is doing...is showing many more people that the men most likely to talk about protecting 'their' girls & women are the ones most likely to feel entitled to do to girls & women whatever they please....

" (T)he same patterns apply to ICE killings, racist policing violence, xenophobic expulsions, government abandonment of the most vulnerable people in our society, the course of genocidal wars around the world, and more."

Happy International Women’s Day to all women - cis women, trans women, people who are still not quite sure whether they may identify as women, people who sometimes feel they’re women, all of you. Have a wonderful day today and every day.

And men, really, look around you at this epidemic of far right male supremacy propaganda, and I want you to think - what are you doing about it other than being so upset. Do you call it out? Do you block people from your life when they act like that? Do you call out your family members? Your bros? You need to do something about it because y’all have been too complacent.

Hot take: I'm sick of coding my games "the right way". When I made DDGD I didn't even grasp inheritance correctly and just coded the game organically together.

For Marble Game I planned. I did things the right way. Managers, controllers, design patters - whatever programming technobabble you can imagine.

Now guess: which code base is more abstract, less readable and has more technical debt? Hint: It's not the first one.
