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.
New blog post is up! This one is about a technique for mostly-mechanically removing recursion from mostly-arbitrary recursive functions. https://jnkr.tech/blog/removing-recursion
今天鬼使神差買了King Gnu座位票，最後靠前同事接手
雖然本來是打算買到比較前又有的坐的位置，結果座位不夠前，還是做復健站一下好了
本來我和伴侶已經各自抽了兩張站票，其中兩張也有伴侶的朋友要收，這次總計買了六張票…
Threads有香港J-pop飯說J-pop在這裡沒有想像中受歡迎
不過有人補充FC制度、ip篩選已經擋了一堆人，所以才會這樣
現在飯輕鬆買到票，路人可以進場看，其實是最佳局面…

애 둘 이상 낳는 친환경론자는 위선자라고 생각한다는 (그래서 자기는 자녀가 하나 뿐이라는) 황당한 영어권 댓글을 봤는데,
실제로 인구가 줄면 환경에는 도움이 아주 크게 된다는 주장이 있다. (반대 의견도 있음, 중국은 인구가 늘었지만 대기오염은 줄었다고)
머스크나 피터틸 같은 인간들이 "자기들처럼 우수하지 않은" 인류를 30억 정도 죽이면 전지구적 환경 문제에서 시간을 벌 수 있다고 생각하고 있어도 이상하진 않을 것 같다.
머스크는 천재가 나올 확률을 늘리기 위해 출생률을 높혀야 한다고 주장했음.

筋トレおわりー
Toronto Real Estate agents are going through some emotional damage right now. A lot of them never worked in a market where you had to do any effort to convince people to buy.
Until about a year ago the job was basically listing a derelict garage as “boutique cozy space for a small family in up and coming neighbourhood” for 1M and wait for the bidding war.
Now prices have been going down and listings sit on the market for months then expire.
Still, totally delulu realtors will try to convince buyers that a moldy basement is worth 1M and a great investment. Or that a house next to a sketchy used car lot is totally worth 2M.
Not happening, dude. People don’t have that much money.

Hello all 🙂
This saturday, I have tried a new interesting tool developed by 
@mapacheMaho 🦝🍻 : FediProfile or Link-in-Bio designed for the Fediverse. It alows you to gather, on one page, your web presence and activities. As an example : https://hub.vocalcat.com/culturediff
To try it by yourself, have a look at this : https://hub.vocalcat.com/ ... and get in touch with the creator of this very useful tool, Maho (a very nice person) : @mapacheMaho 🦝🍻
Every day I’m more convinced that the Fediverse’s slow mainstream adoption isn’t really about usability.
People say it’s because it’s hard to join, the terms are confusing, or the apps aren’t polished enough. Maybe a little. But honestly… look at the platforms people already use.
Finding anything on LinkedIn is painful.
Trying to locate the original video on TikTok is a scavenger hunt.
Facebook is still full of weird bugs and odd UI choices.
Instagram hides posts behind algorithms.
Twitter/X constantly changes the rules of engagement.
None of these platforms are exactly “easy.”
People stay because their friends are there. Because the big creators are there. Because that’s where the conversation already lives.
And, if we’re honest, because these platforms are engineered around a very effective reward loop: notifications, likes, infinite scroll. A dopamine machine. You learn the confusing terms and awkward interfaces because there’s a constant reward for doing so.
So yes, making the Fediverse easier to join absolutely helps.
But what would help even more is something simpler:
more mainstream, recognizable, official accounts showing up here.
That’s how networks grow.
People follow people not platforms.
Finding anything on LinkedIn is painful.
Trying to locate the original video on TikTok is a scavenger hunt.
Facebook is still full of weird bugs and odd UI choices.
Instagram hides posts behind algorithms.
Twitter/X constantly changes the rules of engagement.
Is this the case because the sites were built from the ground-up to be poor, or was it a result of enshittification after-the-fact?
The assumption still holds true that sites become popular because they serve a need... they do something well enough that users go to it for lack of a better option.
I think the limiting factor toward mainstream adoption is not merely that ActivityPub implementations are better than alternatives, but they are not 10x better than alternatives. Usability fixes are one aspect, we need to keep outpacing the competition.

Today was my actual first bike commute of the year in sandals, after January 9th turned out to not be a bike commute day at all. I can't claim any special hardiness virtues for it, since Toronto is (briefly) up to 10C or so. Will I still bike in sandals on Thursday, when the forecast high is 1C? Who knows (not even me), but maybe.

미국에는 출산휴가에 대한 연방 차원의 법이 없고, 미국의 연방 최저임금은 달러로 한 자릿수이며 그나마도 접객업에는 적용되지 않습니다...

한국과 달리 미국은 법제화된 출산휴가 제도 자체가 없어서 비교하기 힘들다고 생각해요. 출산휴가 제도가 있는 직장은 소수의 '좋은 회사'뿐이니까요. 결혼과 출산 및 육아를 필수적인 것처럼 여기는 미국의 문화를 생각하지 않더라도, 불투명한 구인구직 시스템(공채 제도 자체가 없는 곳이 많지요...), 근로 환경, 직업 안정성 등의 문제가 미국에서는 정상성 수행을 할 수 없는 사람에게 특히 큰 경제적 불평등을 가져오고, 여성이 더 큰 타격을 입는다고 생각합니다.
