When XPages code doesn't work as expected, it is often because the expectation was wrong. With the various phases of the XPages lifecycle, validation, the various event handler settings, embedding Server-Side JavaScript within Client-Side JavaScript or scoped variables, understanding what's really there when your code wants it is key troubleshooting XPages.
In this webinar, Paul Withers will help you think fourth dimensionally to better pre-empt the outcomes and troubleshoot when things don't work out like you expect. You'll realise whether or not the bridge over Clayton... Shonash Ravine will be there to ensure your XPages make it Back to the Future.

We've all been there: lookin' a thousands line spaghetti code of CSS, scrolling up and down, trying to find all the declarations, which override each other here and there, and almost cry when we find out that changing one thing affects a lot more page elements than we expected. (In the meantime we mumble some angry words about the previous developer of the file and sometimes we realize that we are talking about ourselves…)

Stressed, Depressed, or Burned Out? The Warning Signs You Shouldn't Ignore (Presented at SQLBits on March 18th, 2023)
We all experience stress in our lives. When the stress is time-limited and manageable, it can be positive and productive. This kind of stress can help you get things done and lead to personal growth. However, when the stress stretches out over longer periods of time and we are unable to manage it, it can be negative and debilitating. This kind of stress can affect your mental health as well as your physical health, and increase the risk of depression and burnout.
The tricky part is that both depression and burnout can hit you hard without the warning signs you might recognize from stress. Where stress barges through your door and yells "hey, it's me!", depression and burnout can silently sneak in and gradually make adjustments until one day you turn around and see them smiling while realizing that you no longer recognize your house. I know, because I've dealt with both. And when I thought I had kicked them out, they both came back for new visits.
I don't have the Answers™️ or Solutions™️ to how to keep them away forever. But in hindsight, there were plenty of warning signs I missed, ignored, or was oblivious to at the time. In this deeply personal session, I will share my story of dealing with both depression and burnout. What were the warning signs? Why did I miss them? Could I have done something differently? And most importantly, what can I - and you - do to help ourselves or our loved ones if we notice that something is not quite right?

"I can't keep up!" - Turning Discomfort into Personal Growth in a Fast-Paced World (Presented at SQLBits on March 17th, 2023)
Do you sometimes think the world is moving so fast that you're struggling to keep up?
Does it make you feel a little uncomfortable?
Awesome!
That means that you have ambitions. You want to learn new things, take that next step in your career, achieve your goals. You can do anything if you set your mind to it.
It just might not be easy.
All growth requires some discomfort. You need to manage and balance that discomfort, find a way to push yourself a little bit every day without feeling overwhelmed. In a fast-paced world, you need to know how to break down your goals into smaller chunks, how to prioritize, and how to optimize your learning.
Are you ready to turn your "I can't keep up" into "I can't believe I did all of that in just one year"?

Lessons Learned: Implementing Azure Synapse Analytics in a Rapidly-Changing Startup (Presented at SQLBits on March 11th, 2022)
What happens when you mix one rapidly-changing startup, one data analyst, one data engineer, and one hypothesis that Azure Synapse Analytics could be the right tool of choice for gaining business insights?
We had no idea, but we gave it a go!
Our ambition was to think big, start small, and act fast – to deliver business value early and often.
Did we succeed?
Join us for an honest conversation about why we decided to implement Azure Synapse Analytics alongside Power BI, how we got started, which areas we completely messed up at first, what our current solution looks like, the lessons learned along the way, and the things we would have done differently if we could start all over again.

Adjusting OpenMP PageRank : SHORT REPORT / NOTESSubhajit Sahu
For massive graphs that fit in RAM, but not in GPU memory, it is possible to take
advantage of a shared memory system with multiple CPUs, each with multiple cores, to
accelerate pagerank computation. If the NUMA architecture of the system is properly taken
into account with good vertex partitioning, the speedup can be significant. To take steps in
this direction, experiments are conducted to implement pagerank in OpenMP using two
different approaches, uniform and hybrid. The uniform approach runs all primitives required
for pagerank in OpenMP mode (with multiple threads). On the other hand, the hybrid
approach runs certain primitives in sequential mode (i.e., sumAt, multiply).

Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headedvikram sood
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.

2. Session description
SSIS is a powerful tool for extracting, transforming and loading data,
but creating the actual SSIS packages can be both tedious and time-
consuming. Even if you use templates and follow best practices you
often have to repeat the same steps over and over again. There are
no easy ways to handle metadata and schema changes, and if there
are new requirements you might have to go through all the packages
one more time. It's time to bring the Don't Repeat Yourself principle
to SSIS development.
In this session I will use the free BIDS Helper add-in to show you the
basics of Biml and BimlScript, how to generate SSIS packages
automatically from databases, how easy those packages can be
changed, and how to move common code to separate files that can
be included where needed. See why they say Biml allows you to
complete in a day what once took more than a week!
8. Business Intelligence Markup Language
Easy to read and write XML dialect
Specifies business intelligence objects
Databases, schemas, tables, columns

10. How can Biml help you?
Timesaving: Many SSIS
Packages from one Biml file
Reusable: Write once and run
on any platform (2005 – 2014)
Flexible: Start simple, expand
as you learn
(Of course I can create 200 packages!
What do you need me to do after lunch?)
20. Getting started with Biml
1. Download and install BIDS Helper (http://bidshelper.codeplex.com)
2. Right-click on SSIS project and click Add New Biml File
31. The magic is in the
Extend Biml with C# or VB.NET code blocks
Import database structure and metadata
Loop over tables and columns
Add expressions to replace static values
Allows you to control and manipulate Biml code
32. BimlScript code blocks
<#@ … #> Directives (Instructions to the BimlCompiler)
<# … #> Control Blocks (Control logic)
<#= … #> Expression Control Blocks (Replace block with string value)
<#+ … #> Class Feature Control Blocks (Create helper methods)
41. foreach (table in a database) loop
<#@ import namespace="Varigence.Hadron.CoreLowerer.SchemaManagement" #>
<# var conAW2014 = SchemaManager.CreateConnectionNode("AW2014", "Data Source...");
#>
<# var AW2014DB = conAW2014.ImportDB("","", ImportOptions.ExcludeViews); #>
<Packages>
<# foreach (var table in AW2014DB.TableNodes) { #>
<Package Name="Load_<#=table.Schema#>_<#=table.Name#>">
</Package>
<# } #>
</Packages>
42. Don't Repeat Yourself
Move common code to separate files
Centralize and reuse in many projects
Update code once for all projects
1. Split and combine Biml files
2. Include files
3. CallBimlScript with parameters
43. Split and combine Biml files
Solve logical dependencies and simulate manual workflows by using tiers
Tiers instruct the BimlCompiler to compile files from lowest to highest tier
<#@ template tier="1" #>
Higher tiers can use and might depend on objects from lower tiers
Tier 1 - Create database connections
Example: Tier 2 - Create loading packages
Tier 3 - Create master package to execute loading packages
44. Split and combine Biml files
1. Create Biml files with specified tiers
2. Select all the tiered Biml files
3. Right-click and click Generate SSIS Packages
1

53. Don't Repeat Yourself: Include files
Include common code in multiple files and projects
Can include many file types: .biml .txt .sql .cs
Use the include directive
<#@ include file="CommonCode.biml" #>
The include directive will be replaced by the content of the included file
Include pulls code from the included file into the main file
55. Don't Repeat Yourself: CallBimlScript with parameters
Works like a parameterized include
File to be called (callee) specifies the input parameters it accepts
<#@ property name="Table" type="AstTableNode" #>
File that calls (caller) passes input parameters
<#=CallBimlScript("CommonCode.biml", Table)#>
CallBimlScript pushes parameters from the caller to the callee, and the
callee returns code
