Il Commodore 65 è un prototipo di personal computer che Commodore avrebbe dovuto mettere in commercio quale successore del Commodore 64. Purtroppo la sua realizzazione si fermò appunto allo stadio prototipale. Racconterò l'affascinante storia del suo sviluppo ed il perchè della soppressione del progetto ormai ad un passo dalla immissione in commercio.
Rivivere l'ebbrezza di progettare un vecchio computer o una consolle da bar è oggi possibile sfruttando le FPGA, ovvero logiche programmabili che consentono a chiunque di progettare il proprio hardware o di ricrearne uno del passato. In questa sessione si racconta come dal reverse engineering dell'hardware di vecchie glorie come il Commodore 64 e lo ZX Spectrum sia stato possibile farle rivivere attraverso tecnologie oggi alla portata di tutti.

There's a lot of talk about blockchain, but how does the technology behind it actually work? For developers, getting some hands-on experience is the fastest way to get familiair with new technologies. So let's build a blockchain, then! In this session, we're going to build one in plain old Java, and have it working in 40 minutes. We'll cover key concepts of a blockchain: transactions, blocks, mining, proof-of-work, and reaching consensus in the blockchain network. After this session, you'll have a better understanding of core aspects of blockchain technology.
Richard Süselbeck - Building your own ride share app - Codemotion Amsterdam 2019Codemotion
When was the last time you were truly lost? Thanks to the maps and location technology in our phones, a whole generation has now grown up in a world where getting lost is truly a thing of the past. Location technology goes far beyond maps in the palm of our hand, however. In this talk, we will explore how a ridesharing app works. How do we discover our destination?How do we find the closest driver? How do we display this information on a map? How do we find the best route?To answer these questions,we will be learning about a variety of location APIs, including Maps, Positioning, Geocoding etc.
Eward Driehuis - What we learned from 20.000 attacks - Codemotion Amsterdam 2019Codemotion
Eward Driehuis, SecureLink's research chief, will guide you through the bumpy ride we call the cyber threat landscape. As the industry has over a decade of experience of dealing with increasingly sophisticated attacks, you might be surprised to hear more attacks slip through the cracks than ever. From analyzing 20.000 of them in 2018, backed by a quarter of a million security events and over ten trillion data points, Eward will outline why this happens, how attacks are changing, and why it doesn't matter how neatly or securely you code.
Francesco Baldassarri - Deliver Data at Scale - Codemotion Amsterdam 2019 - Codemotion
IoT revolution is ended. Thanks to hardware improvement, building an intelligent ecosystem is easier than never before for both startups and large-scale enterprises. The real challenge is now to connect, process, store and analyze data: in the cloud, but also, at the edge. We’ll give a quick look on frameworks that aggregate dispersed devices data into a single global optimized system allowing to improve operational efficiency, to predict maintenance, to track asset in real-time, to secure cloud-connected devices and much more.

What if Virtual Reality glasses could transform your environment into a three-dimensional work of art in realtime in the style of a painting from Van Gogh? One of the many interesting developments in the field of Deep Learning is the so called "Style Transfer". It describes a possibility to create a patchwork (or pastiche) from two images. While one of these images defines the the artistic style of the result picture, the other one is used for extracting the image content. A team from TNG Technology Consulting managed to build an AI showcase using OpenCV and Tensorflow to realize such goggles.

Blockchain (and Cryptocurrency) is an evolution of 20-year old research from scientists like Chaum, Lamport, and Castro & Liskov. Due to the current hype, it's hard to distinguish beneficial aspects of the technology from a desire for a "silver bullet" for device security, verifiable logistics, or "saving democracy". The problem: blockchain introduces new security challenges - and blind adoption without understanding reduces overall security. In this talk, Melanie Rieback and Klaus Kursawe explain the pitfalls and limits of blockchain, so you can avoid making your applications LESS secure.
Angelo van der Sijpt - How well do you know your network stack? - Codemotion ...Codemotion
Networking is a core part of computing in the digital world we inhabit. But, how well do you know how it works? Do you understand all the moving parts of the OSI stack inside your computer, and how the network is actually put together? How can this ever work? This guided safari of layers, standards, protocols, and happenstance will bring us close to the copper wire, and up through the layers of CDMA/CD, ARP, routing and HTTP. We will make a few excursions through patchworks that still work forty years later, and cleverly designed mechanisms that show that simplicity is the only way to last.
Lars Wolff - Performance Testing for DevOps in the Cloud - Codemotion Amsterd...Codemotion
Performance tests are not only an important instrument for understanding a system and its runtime environment. It is also essential in order to check stability and scalability – non-functional requirements that might be decisive for success. But won't my cloud hosting service scale for me as long as I can afford it? Yes, but… It only operates and scales resources. It won't automatically make your system fast, stable and scalable. This talk shows how such and comparable questions can be clarified with performance tests and how DevOps teams benefit from regular test practise.
Sascha Wolter - Conversational AI Demystified - Codemotion Amsterdam 2019Codemotion
Sascha will demonstrate the opportunities and challenges of Conversational AI learned from the practice. Both Technology and User Experience will be covered introducing a process finding micro-moments, writing happy paths, gathering intents, designing the conversational flow, and finally publishing on almost all channels including Voice Services and Chatbots. Valuable for enterprises, developers, and designers. All live on stage in just minutes and with almost no code.
Michele Tonutti - Scaling is caring - Codemotion Amsterdam 2019Codemotion
A key challenge we face at Pacmed is quickly calibrating and deploying our tools for clinical decision support in different hospitals, where data formats may vary greatly. Using Intensive Care Units as a case study, I’ll delve into our scalable Python pipeline, which leverages Pandas’ split-apply-combine approach to perform complex feature engineering and automatic quality checks on large time-varying data, e.g. vital signs. I’ll show how we use the resulting flexible and interpretable dataframes to quickly (re)train our models to predict mortality, discharge, and medical complications.
Pat Hermens - From 100 to 1,000+ deployments a day - Codemotion Amsterdam 2019Codemotion
Coolblue is a proud Dutch company, with a large internal development department; one that truly takes CI/CD to heart. Empowerment through automation is at the heart of these development teams, and with more than 1000 deployments a day, we think it's working out quite well. In this session, Pat Hermens (a Development Managers) will step you through what enables us to move so quickly, which tools we use, and most importantly, the mindset that is required to enable development teams to deliver at such a rapid pace.
James Birnie - Using Many Worlds of Compute Power with Quantum - Codemotion A...Codemotion
Quantum computers can use all of the possible pathways generated by quantum decisions to solve problems that will forever remain intractable to classical compute power. As the mega players vie for quantum supremacy and Rigetti announces its $1M "quantum advantage" prize, we live in exciting times. IBM-Q and Microsoft Q# are two ways you can learn to program quantum computers so that you're ready when the quantum revolution comes. I'll demonstrate some quantum solutions to problems that will forever be out of reach of classical, including organic chemistry and large number factorisation.
Don Goodman-Wilson - Chinese food, motor scooters, and open source developmen...Codemotion
Chinese food exploded across America in the early 20th century, rapidly adapting to local tastes while also spreading like wildfire. How was it able to spread so fast? The GY6 is a family of scooter engines that has achieved near total ubiquity in Europe. It is reliable and cheap to manufacture, and it's made in factories across China. How are these factories able to remain afloat? Chinese-American food and the GY6 are both riveting studies in product-market fit, and both are the product of a distributed open source-like development model. What lessons can we learn for open source software?
Pieter Omvlee - The story behind Sketch - Codemotion Amsterdam 2019Codemotion
The design space has exploded in size within the last few years and Sketch is one of the most important milestones to represent the phenomenon. But behind the scenes of this growing reality there is a remote team that revolutionizes the design space all without leaving the home office. This talk will present how Sketch has grown to become a modern, product designer's tool.
Dave Farley - Taking Back “Software Engineering” - Codemotion Amsterdam 2019Codemotion
Would you fly in a plane designed by a craftsman or would you prefer your aircraft to be designed by engineers? We are learning that science and empiricism works in software development, maybe now is the time to redefine what “Software Engineering” really means. Software isn't bridge-building, it is not car or aircraft development either, but then neither is Chemical Engineering. Engineering is different in different disciplines. Maybe it is time for us to begin thinking about retrieving the term "Software Engineering" maybe it is time to define what our "Engineering" discipline should be.
Joshua Hoffman - Should the CTO be Coding? - Codemotion Amsterdam 2019Codemotion
What is the job of a CTO and how does it change as a startup grows in size and scale? As a CTO, where should you spend your focus? As an engineer aspiring to be a CTO, what skills should you pursue? In this inspiring and personal talk, I describe my journey from early Red Hat engineer to CTO at Bloomon. I will share my view on what it means to be a CTO, and ultimately answer the question: Should the CTO be coding?

If Socrates met Linus Torvalds, what would they talk about? How much math should be bundled into a good programming language? Can compiler resolve an argument and prove, that someone is right? Trough semantics of code, that we write every day, when looking carefully, one can see foundations of logic and science, that has been build more than 2000 years ago. Why does it matter, and how can we leverage this enormous power to make our code safe and sound in languages with advanced type systems, like Typescript and Scala.
Mete Atamel - Serverless with Knative - Codemotion Amsterdam 2019Codemotion
When you build a serverless app, you either tie yourself to a cloud provider, or you end up building your own serverless stack. Knative provides a better choice. Knative extends Kubernetes to provide a set of middleware components (build, serving, events) for modern, source-centric, and container-based apps that can run anywhere. In this talk, we’ll see how we can use Knative primitives to build a serverless app that utilizes the Machine Learning magic of the cloud.
Whenever you do something that nobody has tried to do before, you often encounter difficulties, that well, nobody has found before! During this talk we will walk you through the data, the modelling, the problems that we encountered and solutions while working together with Graydon on predicting whether different kinds of companies will of relocate. For this use case, we analyzed 10 years of data for two million companies using around 100 descriptors / features, and produced a predictive model using decision trees and random forests on Google Cloud Platform.
Mario Viviani - Designing apps for fire TV - Codemotion Amsterdam 2019Codemotion
With the advent of media streaming, consumption of content via Smart TVs and Streaming Media Players is skyrocketing. However, designing and developing apps for the Big Screen provides unique challenges: crafting an easy-to-navigate UI, implementing a fail-proof login experience, introducing new monetization models and more. In this session you will learn: • How to implement a solid TV-centric UI/UX • Navigate through case studies and scenarios for the 10-foot experience • Developer tools and APIs that facilitate the creation of high quality TV-centric apps
Ilona Demidenko - Conversational Sign Up - Codemotion Amsterdam 2019Codemotion
The beloved chatbots are occupying a lot of IT-fields incredibly fast because they are easily customized, validated, API integrated. In short words, smart AI. In my talk, I am going to explain how to easily customize conversational sign-up forms with multiple field types to collect information through a chatbot-like experience written with React and Redux such as Name, Email, Location, and so on. Moreover, I will highlight how to recognize if the user enters the right data and how the chatbot will be making decisions and how to proceed with conversation depending on the user's replies.
The key to finding the optimal solution to a problem is to threefold: maximise the number of tools in your ‘personal tool box’; know all their capabilities and uses; and to know which tool is best suited to fix the particular problem in front of you. This talk will enable you to grow all three aspects around load testing. It will look at what it means to ‘load test’ your application, how to get started with writing your first script and provide you with a case study and an insight as to the tools and techniques that we use here at the FT to help identify such performance issues.
Matteo Antony Mistretta - React, the Inglorious way - Codemotion Amsterdam 2019Codemotion
If you haven't read all of the docs, or you have learnt React just from experience, there's a chance you missed some gotchas, patterns, and features, thus preventing you to build more robust and performant applications. For example, when is it better to use Higher Order Components than Render Props? Why is a functional component slower than a class component? And why are hooks better than Recompose? In this talk we will uncover all of React's deepest secrets and newest features, how to use them, and especially why.
Andreea Marin - Our journey into Cassandra performance optimisation -Codemotion
In Relay42 we need to handle real-time reprocessing of data with expiring TTLs. Due to the large amount of data that we have to store, we use Cassandra as our storage medium. The reprocessing of this data can include intensive deletion of data that results in the creation of tombstones, an issue that affected the performance of our entire platform. During this talk we will share the steps we took for fixing this issue, starting from the discovery, the monitoring, the cluster specific tweaking and the code changes that we had to do.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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!
