Learning from Darwin: What can the man who wrote The Origin of Species teach ...Roberto Rocco
‘On the Origin of Species’ was published on 24 November 1859. It is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin, and it is considered the foundation of evolutionary biology. In this text, we read the INTRODUCTION to The Origin of Species and highlight aspects of the text that are relevant for us to understand a scientific attitude and how to translate this attitude into text. This exercise is intended to Urbanism students who are unsure about the tone and the kind of language they met adopt in scientific reports. The text we are about to analyse was written in the second half of the 19th century, but it is still incredibly modern and actual. Read the text carefully and reflect on the comments. What can you incorporate into your essays and reports?

The fi rst selection in this group of archaeological pa-
pers, like the fi rst selection in the section on biological
anthropology, addresses a controversial topic that pits
the values of scientifi c research against, in this case,
the religious values of some Native American groups.
However, even this characterization oversimplifi es the
range of issues involved in the controversy. The fl ash-
point is the desire of some anthropologists to study the
skeletal remains of some of the fi rst people to set foot
on the North or South American continents and the de-
sire of some Native Americans to rebury these remains
without permitting scientifi c inquiry.
The authors contrast various Native Americans’
theories of their origins with scientifi c theories of the
migration of peoples in the New World. They argue that
only scientifi c theories are built on evidence, which
can be overturned or adjusted as new evidence is un-
earthed. Therefore, the authors contend, the re patriation
of bones before there is suffi cient time to examine the
evidence is not acceptable because scientifi c under-
standing is necessary. Although it might sound ironic,
these anthropological archaeologists believe that, with
all due respect for Native American religious beliefs,
tradition should not cause us to abandon science. The
complications, of course, revolve around the fact that
not all Native Americans share the same beliefs about
the sacredness of bones, and it is sometimes diffi cult
to know which Native American group should receive
and rebury skeletal remains. A crime in north Georgia
in February 2002 involved a crematory operator who
did not incinerate the bodies that were entrusted to him,
but rather hid the bodies willy-nilly on the property. If
we want to understand the strong reaction of Native
Americans to the skeleton repatriation issue, it might be
worthwhile to remember the public outrage and grief
that surrounded the crematory scandal.
In the “battle of the bones,” it is clear that people of
goodwill on both sides of this controversy may seem
intractably at odds. As you will see, even scientists
differ with regard to this issue. We are once again
faced with dilemmas involving the nature of science
and scientifi c investigation, the rights of individuals
to hold and act on particular belief systems, the rights
of other individuals to know the facts as they can best
be understood, and the role of public policy in fi nding
common ground between strongly held positions.
How do we or will we know the history and pre-
history of America? From where did our nation’s fi rst
inhabitants come, and when did they arrive? How im-
portant is the answer to this question when it brings
people with different belief systems into direct con-
fl ict? The answers to these questions are not easy,
and we suspect that readers will come away from this
selection with quite differing point of views.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
