Dead Media & The Flavour of Cities The meme is the message A discussion led by Thomas Purves http://opencities.ca http://thomaspurves.com Open Cities Conference, Toronto, 2007

Mediums behave like memes In that they propagate by their own rules. Proppaging through society like waves

Forces of Media: economics game theory snowball effects innovation culture choice -can you name others? -

Catch: Any new media always obsolesces an old

dead media always has some particular flavor, some character that is always lost

Dead flavours are also an opportunity. Retrieval.

Sometimes we don’t The black death as a flavour of medieval cities.

Cars! e.g. Long lasting and unexpected flavours implications

Good Freedom, mobility, picking up chicks.

Just Arbitrary There’s many slightly arbitrary ways to design a streetlight

The Region of Awesome The Zone of the Possible

Changes in Media reshape the zone of the possible The Region of Awesome The Zone of the Possible

Flavour Shift The Region of Awesome The Zone of the Possible 1890 The Zone of the Possible 2007

Further Complications Land of Suck The Region of Awesome The Zone of the Possible (great sea of indifference)

Rising costs of labour Rising costs of craftmanship Prefabrication and standardization bring advantages at the cost of flavour (how much has this affected our culture’s sense of aesthetic?)

Complimentary 3D House Printing Side effects? Nothing has to be prefab. Organic designs. Changing the shape of the possibility space

Carbon-trading system for ugly? Managing Flavour

In October 2004, a 10-member LACA team made its sixth medical trip to Tacachico, El Salvador. Tacachico (translated “little Indian”) is a small town in the center of El Salvador. The terrain is mountainous, but the town is situated in the middle of a bowl-like valley. There are some 25,000 residents who live in the area. In June 2007, LACA will return to Tacachico. The Coordinator, Mary Mapelli-Conway is in need of translators and medical personnel, including two pediatricians or pediatric nurse practitioners, two adult medicine physicians or family nurse practitioners and one or two pharmacists or a pharmacist and a pharmacology tech. Some Spanish language is helpful, but translators will be provided. The team will arrive in the capital, San Salvador on June 30; the clinic will be held from July 1 - 5.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/why-teams-call-analytics-is-critical-to-your-entire-business Nothing is as frustrating and noticeable as being in an important call and being unable to see or hear the other person. Not surprising then, that issues with Teams calls are among the most common problems users call their helpdesk for. Having in depth insight into everything relevant going on at the user’s device, local network, ISP and Microsoft itself during the call is crucial for good Microsoft Teams Call quality support. To ensure a quick and adequate solution and to ensure your users get the most out of their Microsoft 365. But did you know that ‘bad calls’ are also an excellent indicator of other problems arising? Precisely because it is so noticeable!? Like the canary in the mine, bad calls can be early indicators of problems. Problems that might otherwise not have been noticed for a while but can have a big impact on productivity and satisfaction. Join this session by Christoph Adler to learn how true Microsoft Teams call quality analytics helped other organizations troubleshoot bad calls and identify and fix problems that impacted Teams calls or the use of Microsoft365 in general. See what it can do to keep your users happy and productive! In this session we will cover - Why CQD data alone is not enough to troubleshoot call problems - The importance of attributing call problems to the right call participant - What call quality analytics can do to help you quickly find, fix-, and prevent problems - Why having retrospective detailed insights matters - Real life examples of how others have used Microsoft Teams call quality monitoring to problem shoot problems with their ISP, network, device health and more.

Why Teams call analytics are critical to your entire business

Corporate and higher education. Two industries that, in the past, have had a clear divide with very little crossover. The difference in goals, learning styles and objectives paved the way for differing learning technologies platforms to evolve. Now, those stark lines are blurring as both sides are discovering they have content that’s relevant to the other. Join Tammy Rutherford as she walks through the pros and cons of corporate and higher ed collaborating. And the challenges of these different technology platforms working together for a brighter future.

The microservices honeymoon is over. When starting a new project or revamping a legacy monolith, teams started looking for alternatives to microservices. The Modular Monolith, or 'Modulith', is an architecture that reaps the benefits of (vertical) functional decoupling without the high costs associated with separate deployments. This talk will delve into the advantages and challenges of this progressive architecture, beginning with exploring the concept of a 'module', its internal structure, public API, and inter-module communication patterns. Supported by spring-modulith, the talk provides practical guidance on addressing the main challenges of a Modultith Architecture: finding and guarding module boundaries, data decoupling, and integration module-testing. You should not miss this talk if you are a software architect or tech lead seeking practical, scalable solutions. About the author With two decades of experience, Victor is a Java Champion working as a trainer for top companies in Europe. Five thousands developers in 120 companies attended his workshops, so he gets to debate every week the challenges that various projects struggle with. In return, Victor summarizes key points from these workshops in conference talks and online meetups for the European Software Crafters, the world’s largest developer community around architecture, refactoring, and testing.

Tracing the root cause of a performance issue requires a lot of patience, experience, and focus. It’s so hard that we sometimes attempt to guess by trying out tentative fixes, but that usually results in frustration, messy code, and a considerable waste of time and money. This talk explains how to correctly zoom in on a performance bottleneck using three levels of profiling: distributed tracing, metrics, and method profiling. After we learn to read the JVM profiler output as a flame graph, we explore a series of bottlenecks typical for backend systems, like connection/thread pool starvation, invisible aspects, blocking code, hot CPU methods, lock contention, and Virtual Thread pinning, and we learn to trace them even if they occur in library code you are not familiar with. Attend this talk and prepare for the performance issues that will eventually hit any successful system.
