The air inside a fridge is really dry, simply because it is cold, but also because the heat exchanger inside has to be even colder in order to keep the fridge cold, and so all the condensation occurs on that. If you put a warm laptop inside a fridge, any moisture in the laptop will be sucked out by the dry fridge air and condensed on the fridge's heat exchanger.

However, it's when you take your cold laptop out of the fridge that it may get problems with moisture. If your laptop is colder than the dew point of the air, then the moisture will condense on it. To solve that, put the laptop into a sealed plastic bag while it warms up to stop the moist air getting to it (although this may be incompatible with actually running the laptop).

Even last December there weren't any regulations in Germany that would have prevented the congress.

It was a weird time last December: After the cancellation of the congress was announced, there was a large congress of intensive care workers in Germany where the attendees were going around mostly maskless. I mean, who would be better at estimating the risks?

I also don't understand why the German hacker scene was and still is so much in favor Covid restrictions. There are hackerspaces that still require N95 masks today while in the general population nobody cares anymore. I honestly think that it's mostly virtue signalling, i.e. showing that you're a good member of the scene.
This is the opposite for me. I used to use Twitter and Reddit constantly through 3rd party iOS apps. Both platforms banned 3rd party apps and I simply don’t use the platforms anymore.

They added enough friction through ads, cookie banners, forced login to view content and more ads that I don’t care to use them anymore.

I’m using a 3rd party app to view HN and I probably visit 3-4 times a day.

> When you're working solo, however, there isn't a specific thing you have to do. No pre-set route to take. If I decide to not do any work today, no-one will notice..

I believe the above statement is the single, most common denominator among all indie hackers (or, solopreneurs) and I have to admit that it is too challenging to master and get around it.

Agree about scale making qualitative differences in events, but CCC has been happy operating at larger scale organizationally. I disagree with a lot of the organizational politics with CCC, but they're amazingly good at organizing events, and those events are really good. Combination of the main org/structure, volunteers, and especially making it somewhat federated with other groups/chapters doing their own stuff during the event as well.

In this case CCH doesn't really have more space, and Leipzig sucked as a city to host events (no hotels/food/etc. immediately near the center, etc.). CCC is not so profitable as to get the truly top-end convention centers, and cares about the total cost/experience to participants (accommodations, food, side events, travel logistics). Hannover, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, and Munich have the biggest ones in Germany. Berlin is almost as big; I think it's really expensive to book but if I had the money that would probably be much choice for ideal CCC location. CCH is really quite small as congress centers go.
Probably not legally.
On Linux, applications are required to load the libatomic shared library to correctly implement the full standard (on some older platforms like ARM, this is true even for small values since the hardware didn’t have an exchange instruction). There are a lot of operations that atomic int can do that volatile can’t do or will do incorrectly (such as seq-cst ordering or exchange). Why is this impossible for Windows? That sounds like a compiler implementation flaw, not an OS level impossibility.
I have no issue with them getting all the relevant information (ie not researchers private information) as long as there is no images to take out of context and slap some cheap click bait on.

I have a small amd 7840 (win 4) coming. I originally think as my win max 2 work quite well … then max 2 all goes down hill. The Ubuntu lts no longer work. As I use it just for wsl2 development and use got to sync I erase it. But then never be able to install again. Only Ubuntu non lts installed.

For Gui. Too hard. Done it once when win 11 coming up.

It is now a dreadful wait for win4 to come. Wsl2 …

For those suggest dual boot I have a whole thinkpad X now only in windows and only if it’s do a bit action in the boot loader.

> Operating systems were the original subscription service

A subscription is something you pay for regularly and predictably, and lose access to when you stop paying. Saying that operating systems were subscription services is like saying cars or computers were subscription services. You paid for the OS once and were not forced to upgrade, that’s just a regular sale.

The way I feel is that being open minded and intellectually free is great, its very interesting and you can learn many cool things. However once you've learned those things its also important to be clear about them.

Lets take something like evolution as an example. There isn't really anything to be gained by trying to straight up falsify evolution any more, we're very very confident that it happens. The "right" approach is to stop being "open" to the idea that evolution doesn't happen, but instead be "open" to exploring interesting and cool stuff based one evolution (how does it happen, what drives it, what are the mechanisms etc). Being "open", in the sense of thinking about evolution not being a real thing, actually closes you to exploring these cool ideas based on evolution.
Personally I am more of a sprinter, and currently my target is 4-5 hours of max intensity work in the morning, with free afternoons, 6 or 7 days a week. No distractions, no social media, no people around, avoiding browsing the internet for fun from waking up to 1pm.

Free afternoons feel like every day is a holiday that can be filled with whatever I fancy, though sometimes morning work motivates me so much I might do more work in the afternoon. I might need to pace myself, like that Hemingway quote in TFA.

It is incredible how productive one can be with just 20h of consistent work a week, with no bosses or bullshit meetings. I'm still working on the consistency part :)
If companies take responsibility for their technology, the technology is viable. Various low speed self driving vehicles are already deployed all around the world. Low speed to reduce inevitable injury, which keeps risk to the company behind them down.

The problem with self driving technology is that companies like Tesla want to keep you liable for the decisions their AI makes. That's why you have to sit behind the wheel and still keep an eye out.

Here in the Netherlands there were several tests with self driving trains, but the systems didn't prove satisfactory yet. The systems are being worked on, though. Putting passengers in the hands of automated systems requires a lot of care and responsibility, and a few companies are willing to take that risk (for plenty of money, of course).

As for planes, autopilot is used very often. Automated landing is mandatory in some runways to keep time between planes down, though pilots don't seem to like the aggressive touchdown these systems provide. We'll never have fully autonomous planes because someone needs to be around when the plane runs into trouble; computers won't land you on the Hudson.
That doesn’t sound like an environment for me.
It has always been this way, we just didnt know. Now we can be sure.

However, there always is a sufficiently reliable/checkable fact: "a specific media wrote...". Whatever they actually wrote is not a fact but they wrote it - this is. This said you can then ask youself why they most likely did, keeping in mind other observations of yours.

For me it made a lot of sense. Ruby developers don't like types as much as in other languages. By far the majority of Javascript made by Ruby/Rails developers is vanilla. Turbo is a library used mostly by Ruby/Rails developers.

As a Rails developer myself, it was much harder to contribute to Turbo. I had to learn Typescript before doing so, which makes the bridge too high.

90+% of the people who were complaining didn't even know Turbo existed.

Could it be communicated a bit better? Yeah sure, I give you that. Is it bad moving forward? Maybe initially as there were broken PRs but I think eventually it is in a much better place. In my opinion.

And if you are not using arena -- realloc() is your best bet. And no, it won't move your memory around into larger areas every time you call it. Most of the time it will simply bump up the allocation end point. This happens more frequently than you think.

In my code I don't use allocated_length and used_length seperately in dynamic vectors. Simply realloc() every time one element is added. No measurable difference in speed, and code is much more clean.
I second you on the admin and I'm sorry I forgot about it.

Rails has the optional ActiveAdmin gem but it has basically no automatic integration with the Rails app and it's not included. That means that any Django app has a basic admin and most Rails app don't have one.

To be fair, it's easy to hit the limits of those admins but by baking a user hierarchy in the main web app with a super user, you can use the standard web app for many administration tasks. If you can impersonate users (handy for debugging and you have all their data anyway) you can do a lot of things without an admin interface.

So right...

We have seen in one of our products a huge difference between saying

1. You are limited to 3000 units, then you can buy more.
2. You get 3000 units for free.

Guess which one was better...
1) Not to my knowledge. Maybe CCCeV has full list somewhere private, but the public announcement said something similar to "we'll reserve a pool of tickets for members of CCC and other orgas". It was given to friends of friends, who were known as leaders of local hackerspaces. Also this recursive coupon didn't say to whom it was given, it just replicated on registration to an email address.

2) I'm certain they were given outside of Germany, I got one in Poland.

As sibling said, ask in your local hackerspace, they either know or should know someone who knows. (If you don't have local hackerspace, gather people, organise your hackerspace, and write to 37c3 angels that you have new hackerspace and want to attend c3 to exchange ideas. First time you probably won't get recursive ticket, but a pool of single-use coupons).
The comment was a bit snarky (and perhaps paranoid), which is unusual for me.

Back to the tinfoil hats, do you believe communications on Signal can't be accessed by anyone except the two recipients? And why do you believe that?

Admittedly my position comes from a more ignorant place - that surveillance seems to be top priority for government agencies, and our governments decreasingly serve the wellbeing of the people. Pretty shallow I admit, but I can't actually believe that the most popular, privacy-centric chat platform isn't accessible by other parties. That would be absurd wouldn't it? Especially with government-mandated backdoors in everything.
> Generally, if there is a staffing shortage it’s because of a deeper issue (safety, pay, reputation, etc) temps are expensive and brought in by administrators kicking and screaming.

There's a national shortage and the deeper issue is unclear (most likely to do with nurses taking care of increasingly sick and mentally unwell people, coupled with pay that's "not worth it"). These temps aren't brought in "kicking and screaming" either because they make the choice to be a contractor, and make a very good rate (its a good lifestyle if you don't need the benefits/job security , the cash pay can be 2-3x that of salaried staff).
My favourite thought on this is that if I wanted to build a large scale simulation of a universe, then one reasonable way of approaching it if with the assumption it'd need to be distributed without running into massive synchronisation issues is to impose a computational budget on every entity per time step of the simulation. If moving through space then involves computation to e.g. check for interactions with other entities in the simulation, then the amount of computation will be affected by velocity, and hence subjective time will be affected by velocity as an inherent property of the simulation.

This of course proves nothing, and I'm absolutely not suggesting it's evidence of anything. But it's fascinating when possible design tradeoffs for a simulation might fairly neatly line up with how things actually work in our universe. (At least from a science fiction POV; I have a couple of story ideas I intend to write that makes use of that notion)

I do share your thought that it's harder and harder to dismiss some variant of the simulation argument - especially as the original one is far too constrained (which made sense in as much as you want to cut away as much as possible that might make people casually dismiss it)
Again, your perspective is that the American government is so exceptional, i.e. “distinctive” and “unique” from pretty much any other functional government among first world nations, that socialized healthcare couldn’t work, even if it does everywhere else, even in places where politicians are, too, “protected” if they lie to their constituents, and their constituents are legally forbidden from lying to them.

Both things, by the way, are not remotely related to the discussion and at least the latter is absolutely false.

> Was my family being scammed when we were paying $600 per month for excellent insurance?

Why, yes, yes you were. Thinking that $600 a month for health care is OK is your mistake. The average American was already paying through the nose back in 2010, compared to other developed nations.

The main issue with ACA is that it is half assed: you need a universal single payer system and strong regulations in place to make it work.

But the alternative suggested in that video - that there are two kinds of people, and those hard “working types” shouldn’t be on the hook for the “irresponsible” ones - is laughable and childish, and panders to those sharing generational ideals that do not apply to the reality of the country anymore.

As another commenter mentioned, it would be better to use the actual title of the paper "Feasibility of an implantable bioreactor for renal cell therapy using silicon nanopore membranes" - because arguably this is not an "artificial kidney", but a device containing natural kidney cells (a bioreactor containing renal cells) with an added silicon nanopore membrane designed to prevent the immune system from killing the foreign kidney cells. That's why they're using the term "bioartificial kidney".
I'm still not fully convinced by your point about what's best to fuel an academic career. While putting it as trying to find vulnerabilities into some specific cryptosystem largely believed to be secure indeed doesn't sound that interesting, if you instead put it as finding new attacks for elliptic curve cryptography we're back again the "cool paper with lots of citations" territory.

As a side note, in the past a PhD student was tasked with the "not interesting sounding and apparently useless in practice" task of filling the gaps in OCB2's security proof. That's how it was discovered that it was utterly broken.
But wouldn't that then make contracts such as "periods of exclusivity" or for example the contracts that allow a company like Netflix to have the rights to something for a certain duration impossible to have? Wouldn't that make it impossible to "rent" stuff to people?

I think the thing that most people misunderstand is that Nintendo is "renting" this stuff to you. They certainly don't shout it out but that is the case.

Tbf I'd love if laws were changed so that exclusivity was illegal - it's the reason Netflix wen't from being "oh, this is cool I'll pay rather than pirate" to the absolute hellscape that it is now, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Crunchyroll, Funimation, Amazon Prime Video, etc, etc (seems to be a new one every month). It should be illegal to withhold content based on company or region. No more greedy suit & ties shaking their grubby paws for exclusivity on x show for y streaming platform for z months in j region.

But that'll never happen. Same thing as price controls on Hollywood, etc. Why does the movie cost 300 million to make? Oh yeah cause we're paying the main actors & actresses 50 million, 45 million and 30 million. WHY? Because capitalism, movie studios can just offer more than "the other guys", but of course this cost, instigated by greedy businessmen, gets pushed onto us the consumers. "Oh but making a movie is a risk, it might not do well" would it would certainly be less of a fucking risk if it was capped so that budgets were more in the 50 million range. But just like ridding the world of tax havens and other nonsense, it'll never happen.

Capitalism is proving to be more and more anti-consumer.

> What makes TCP special that we put it in the kernel? A lot more of those answers apply to QUIC than to HTTP.

I mean, that seems like GP's point. There's no profound reason TCP should be implemented in the kernel, besides trying to fit every form of IO into Unix's "everything is a file descriptor" philosophy.

If QUIC works in userspace, that's fine. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
> No one sane would mutate elements, free memory or throw exceptions in a sort comparison function.

No one sane would intentionally do so, but we are not talking about that. The OP has a section that links to a blog post by Danila Kutenin, which mentions `std::sort` often just segfaults if a comparator doesn't satisfy irreflexivity or asymmetry, yet such comparators were found in the wild, even passing all reviews and even tests (!) because this behavior greatly depends on the number of elements. Given this occurrence of the actual bug in user comparators, it should be no surprise that they may also contain mutations, memory deallocations and exception throws (all of which can easily be a side effect from internal routines).

My Dad was overweight but active. Later in life after retirement sat around but still fished and like yard work and home repairs. His brothers and sisters had diabetes Dad never developed it.

I'm not denying poor lifestyle can be a cause then again it can seem to be a crap shoot.
> Crazy to see those types of measures still in place as we’re more than half-way through 2023.

Just because politicians have "declared" the pandemic over, it is by far not over yet - we are still seeing significant excess mortality [1], and across Germany many companies are complaining about significant amounts of people on sick leave, most noticeably in public transit. Guess where that comes from... it's a lot of Covid.

SARS-CoV-2 is an incredibly dangerous virus and way too many people aren't even doing air purifiers any more because these are "too expensive to run" and whatnot.
