Der Sommer an der @TUHamburg fängt gut an. Die Operating System Group veranstaltet dieses Semester wieder "Betriebssystembau" und ein Seminar zum System-Call Adventskalender. Mehr in unserem Überblick (5 Minuten): youtube.com/watch?v=ZZJdmT…

@__gparmer Isn't that the state of every paper repository if you return to build the camera ready version?

Nothing worse than walking back to a codebase after a while away, doing a `git status`, and seeing a non-empty response. Sigh.

@eeide We managed configuration files on server with RCS in the <10 years.

Secure, because nobody remembers how to use RCS. techcrunch.com/2023/08/08/goo…

"That feeling of the war for the unification of the Russian nation is gradually morphing into a classical territorial war about to whom this or that chunk of the land belongs," Russian historian Andrei Zorin told @VazhaTavberidze . rferl.org/a/puti-russia-…

For God’s sake, russians going to Crimea for vacation now complain about taking the land route instead of the bridge. BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO DRIVE THROUGH MARIUPOL AND KIDS DONT LIKE IT

@eeide @georgemporter But it would also be nice if reviewers that don't have questions say: I have no questions, I need no rebuttal

@georgemporter Just last week I was wishing that the authors of a conference paper I reviewed had the chance to explain something before the program committee makes a decision. I guess I've come to think of author response as a feature of the standard process in CS.

I was watching Lord of the Rings last night and realized there are many parallels with academia! A thread 🧵👇

@ein_unding Man muss nicht immer den ganzen Bogen nehmen?!

Medikationsprogramm Schulung. Mir wird grad erklärt, was eine teilbare Tablette ist und das Programm hab ich schon 2 Jahre genutzt. nur noch 100 Minuten 😅

@MaxFragg @Pingu Wieder ein View weniger

@TaliaRinger Ok, the usual off-by-one should go in a different direction.

The date on the FCRC T-shirts is off by one month lol

@pramod_bhatotia Happy Birthday!

@schoenbergerlea Was machst du in diesen aufgaben denn?

One of our key sources of human data is no longer fully “human"! We estimate that 33-46% of crowd workers on MTurk used large language models (LLMs) in a text production task - which may increase as ChatGPT and the like become more popular and powerful. arxiv.org/abs/2306.07899

From @pmdfoster Britain after Brexit newsletter. YouGov tracker now has 62% of Brits thinking Brexit has been a failure

I am so done that even two EuroSys deadlines and two concurrent ATC shepherdings don't stress me out anymore. #TomorrowItIsOver

@eeide That should be doable by having a separate set of catcodes and a different \ charakter...

This morning's idea: `texlatex`, a new TeX processor that expands your document's macros and outputs TeX. No more problems with publisher-prohibited LaTeX packages!

@eeide @AndrewCMyers @rupran_de dnl wicked

@stettberger @AndrewCMyers @rupran_de I once used m4 on my LaTeX source to get around some publisher rule that I cannot remember.

Latest ACM document requirements say your LaTeX cannot contain \newcommand. Unacceptable!

@AndrewCMyers Then just let us use an macro processor for our macro processor! How about CPP? (@rupran_de)

@stettberger Def not allowed either

@pramod_bhatotia Yes, twice. But also an iccad paper, which is due two days earlier.

Why am I doing this three paper one deadline madness again?!
