In northeastern California, exceptional drought (D4) was expanded across the northern Sierras this week. Little if any precipitation fell across the state of California during the past 7-days, with the exception of moderate to locally heavy precipitation (0.5-3.0 inches) over north-central portions of the state, including the Sierras. The heavy precipitation will aid in green-up, but is expected to have very little impact on the long-term drought.

Deciphering the impact of AI to pharma + healthcare Leo Barella
This presentation covers the impact of Artificial Intelligence leveraging Big Data to improve health outcomes and it gives a perspective on how the technology can be leveraged to improve the Pharma value stream.
I believe in developing enterprise architecture principles as a foundation for the definition of solutions that meet the strategic needs of an organization. These principles don’t reference technology—instead, they drive tech- nology decisions.
If used correctly, these principles allow companies to avoid building the right solution the wrong way, or worse, building the wrong solution the right way.
The focus of this article is not the Design Principles of the Architecture but the Principles that guide Enterprise Architects.
These are principles that I shared with the Enterprise Architecture teams I led
By leveraging Big Data, the healthcare industry has an incredible potential to improve lives.

Big data in the real world opportunities and challenges facing healthcare -...Leo Barella
The Healthcare system will be target of major disruption more than any other industry in the next 10 years.
The Digital economics and increasing demand by consumers for more real time information in order to make better decisions on who they want to "hire" to perform services for them or in their behalf will be the driver of this disruption. Analytics, Big Data and Machine Learning will lay the foundation for the next generation of healthcare yet there are still many challenges to truly revolutionize the healthcare system end to end (Providers, Pharma, Payers)
The presentation covers innovation strategies that have been implemented by different companies in different industries to disrupt the market and become leaders in their industries.
Leveraging Big Data for Improving Population Health ManagementLeo Barella
Health Care reform redefined how individuals can obtain health insurance. Providers will receive incentives on positive outcomes which will lead to their increased interest in improving the health not only of the patients they visit in their offices but the patients they seldom see. The information available about their patients is growing rapidly and can be harvested from sources that are not typically linked to medical records. In this session you will learn about emerging sources of data and the use of advanced analytics that can lead to the proactive improvement of population health and wellness.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
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).
