A Visit to the Catacombs of Dammtor
"Welcome to the catacombs of Dammtor, the grandest and one of the most ancient in Hamburg. For those of you who have booked in advance please step inside. I trust you have all signed the waiver as instructed? Good. This visit will be of a long duration. Now, please hand over your tickets...”
I will read to you a short horror story in which you follow a guide deep down into the intricate catacombs of Dammtor below CCH, visit the ancient sacred grounds built over centuries - and learn about a ritual only available to the most privileged...
This is not a graphic or scary story but more of a cozy "Gruselgeschichte", which I think will fit very nicely in the late hours after the talks.
"A Visit to the Catacombs of Dammtor" is based on the original work "A Visit to the Catacombs of Via Altamonvecchi" by J. Weintraub, originally published in Karamu (vol. xx, no. 2, Spring 2007), a literary review out of Eastern Illinois University. Performed with express permission by the author.

Jujutsu (jj) is a new version control system that uses Git as its backend. Since trying it last year, it has completely replaced Git for me. It manages to be less complex than Git, while giving you more control. I think you'll like it too! Lately, when people ask me complex Git questions, my answer is often: "First, install jj…" And that's only half a joke. :P --- A few things I like about Jujutsu: There's no index, but instead you get a subcommand for splitting changes. Commits have stable ...

How can we work together to improve political decision-making processes in the long term? What do you want from democracy? Motivation: While our democracy can be shaped by the people as they wish on paper, the population seems to be largely dissatisfied with political actions: - The handling of many crises appears to be inadequate - Urgent problems seem to be postponed - Democratic participation seems tedious and ineffective Dissatisfaction mixed with these perceptions can lead to the loss of ...
