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.
evil* idea for likes/shares/etc collections that allow interactions by direct POST. instead of POST to inbox you just POST to the collection. the collection can return 4xx if your interaction isn't accepted, and if it's missing you just "can't" interact that way. basically every interaction collection could be its own "inbox" in a way. you could still use something like AP outbox delivery to forward published activities to appropriate targets.
*not really evil

Are there any programming languages that do whitespace-aware precedence? So 1+2 * 3+4 is 3 * 7 but 1 + 2 * 3 + 4 is 1 + 6 + 4. Or possibly 3 * 3 + 4, if you aren't bringing along any other precedence rules (besides parentheses, let's say).

조성진이나 손열음을 대회에서 만나고 좌절했다는 이야기를 농담처럼 하고 웃는 것은 그것대로 재밌긴 하다. 하지만 한 걸음 뒤로 물러서서 보면... 어린, 혹은 이제 막 예술을 배우기 시작한 학생을 '능력주의'에 푹 담구어 버리는 것 같은 작금의 예술계의 행태가 예술 그 자체를 얼마나 빈곤하게 만드는지 생각해보아야 한다. 어느 한 시점에서 작다면 작고 크다면 큰 어떤 기술적 차이가 이제 막 길에 들어선 학생에게 그 길을 포기할만한 좌절을 안겨준다면 예술가를 키우는 방식 자체가 잘못된 것이고 그것은 더이상 예술이 아니다.

A lot of people in tech want me to produce more work but get upset if I talk about what it costs me to produce work, I really hope eventually we can get a little bit better at accepting that social, cultural, psychological work is real work

Current status: reverse engineering my hacks to this test machine so I can write up proper install instructions for a slightly more proper version of it. Also, mutating the hacks in the process, because why not improve them while I'm at it?
Achievement unlocked: first NAT setup with nftables instead of iptables, for no really good reason.
TBH, my first thought when I read the news about OpenAI acquiring Astral was, "there goes my productivity today"
Nice! Not sure how old this is, but noticing it now.
이스라엘 전쟁
지금 이스라엘의 문제는, 이란으로 멈출 수 있느냐는 것.
설령 이란이 무력화 된다고 한들 이스라엘이 거기서 만족하고 지역 상황을 안정시키려고 할까? 이미 튀르키예가 다음 타겟이라는 말이 나오고 있다. 튀 입장에서도 이스라엘이 레바논, 시리아에 대한 영향력을 확장한다면 두고 보기는 어렵다.
이는 본토 방위를 위해 조선을, 조선 방위를 위해 만주를, 만주 방위를 위해 허베이를, 이란 식으로 안전보장 범위를 자꾸 확대했던 구일본제국과 닮은 꼴이다. 특히 중화민국을 강한 공격으로 피해를 늘리면 굴복할 거라 여겼다는 점에서 그렇다. 당시 열강 반열에 든 대국도 그러다 망했다. 이스라엘은 그에 비하면 소국이다.

@FediTips , Wanderer is a trail-sharing platform for the Fediverse somewhat similar to Strava.
Wanderer is free open source software so you can host your own server if you want, and federated so you can communicate with other servers too.
At the moment Wanderer does require some technical knowledge to create your own server, you can find installation instructions at https://wanderer.to/run/installation/quick and source at https://github.com/open-wanderer/wanderer

I'd love to update this SE 2 test device I have to the latest version of iOS 18 to prevent the severe security issues in the old version I'm running. But I can't because my only choice is to upgrade to iOS 26 which defeats the entire purpose of having this test device.

Obviously I have a lot of feelings about OpenAI acquiring Astral but I am going to try not to do much Discourse today, on account of there's not much to do about it and everybody's feelings are probably pretty raw at the moment. I am also going to *try* and wait to have much in the way of commentary until there's a better picture of what concrete influence the acquisition will have.
