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.

I voted in the leadership race. It was kind of a pain -- the instructions come by email, and the URL for the voting platform is buried about 15 paragraphs into the email. Also, I had forgotten that it was ranked-choice voting, so I had to go do research on the 3 candidates I didn't know. Overall, a little more complex than I thought was warranted, but I got the job done.

I just googled something and Google put its AI summary top, which incorrectly used a Facebook post - misinterpreting it. The Facebook post itself was an AI summary of a user post - which AI had also misinterpreted. The result is the Google answer was just total bollocks.

10/10 no notes.

Helium Qatar US/Israel war

is a critical component in hard drives and many other high tech semiconductor components.

After Israel’s bombing of Iran’slargest gas fields, Iran retaliated by bombing Qatar’s critical refinery, wiping out 1/3 of the world’s helium reserves.

2026 will be an extremely bad year for tech, compounded by supply chain delivery problems and critical resource shortfalls.

Hélium je jediný prvek, který trvale uniká ze zemské atmosféry. Jakmile se uvolní, stoupá troposférou, prochází stratosférou a opouští planetu. Nedá se vyrobit. Nedá se syntetizovat v průmyslovém měřítku. Hromadí se po miliardy let ve stejných geologických ložiscích jako zemní plyn. A třetina světových zásob právě vypadla z provozu, protože Írán zasáhl zařízení, které hélium extrahuje.

Katar v roce 2025 vyprodukoval přibližně 63 milionů krychlových metrů hélia, což představuje 30 až 36 procent celosvětové nabídky z celkového objemu zhruba 190 milionů krychlových metrů. Tři velké závody společnosti QatarEnergy na čištění hélia v Rás Laffánu tvoří největší základnu pro výrobu hélia na světě. Když po íránských úderech drony 2. března a následném raketovém poškození 19. března zastavila výroba LNG, extrakce hélia se automaticky zastavila s ní – hélium se totiž získává při zkapalňování zemního plynu. Bez výroby LNG nelze vyrábět hélium. Vedlejší produkt zaniká spolu s hlavním.

I have been invited to but turned down 3 conferences talks already this year because they're told me it's new policy to not cover speaker travel under the assumption that your tech employer will cover it. I own my own small business as a researcher and my wife is an academic teaching professor, so I cannot ask my household to absorb that. I just want to generally observe that we are filtering the voices we're going to be able to hear from, with all this contraction

I will figure out a path to my own sharing of work, but it is sad to me to feel there is this intellectual community you need to have a FAANG credit card to be part of. That's just not how it should work and we will see the consequences of these structures quickly in who gets to be on stage. This isn't a call out of any single organization, I'm always really honored to be thought of, but it's hard for me to understand how you can sell $1000 tickets on our content and not support creators

'개발자가 게이머일 필요는 없다'랑 '회사가 개발자들이 게이머로 남아있지 않도록 만든다'는 아예 다르고... 한국 게임 개발사는 노동시간등의 문제로 후자에 꽤 가깝다고 생각해요. 게임하는 여가시간을 보장해줘야 뭐 게임을 하지...

Heading home after the second day on Love the fact that this community is so very open to innovation and creating different spaces online that support other ways of interaction, self-organization and self-expression, where this room is getting smaller and smaller everywhere else. In that sense, it is a free haven for creative thinking and tinkering, an online breeding ground for the open web. Thanks everyone!
