Because the Arduino (and Basic Stamp) are 5V devices, and most modern sensors, displays, flash cards and modes are 3.3V-only, many makers find that they need to perform level shifting/conversion to protect the 3.3V device from 5V.This 8-bit non inverting translator uses two separate configurable power-supply rails. The A port is designed to track VCCA. VCCA accepts any supply voltage from 1.2 V to 3.6 V. The B port is designed to track VCCB. VCCB accepts any supply voltage from 1.65 V to 5.5 V. This allows for universal low-voltage bidirectional translation between any of the 1.2-V, 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V voltage nodes. VCCA should not exceed VCCB.

Evolve Your Schemas in a Better Way! A Deep Dive into Avro Schema Compatibili...HostedbyConfluent
"The only constant in life is change! The same applies to your Kafka events flowing through your streaming applications.
The Confluent Schema Registry allows us to control how schemas can evolve over time without breaking the compatibility of our streaming applications. But when you start with Kafka and (Avro) schemas, this can be pretty overwhelming.
Join Kosta and Tim as we dive into the tricky world of backward and forward compatibility in schema design. During this deep dive talk, we are going to answer questions like:
* What compatibility level to pick?
* What changes can I make when evolving my schemas?
* What options do I have when I need to introduce a breaking change?
* Should we automatically register schemas from our applications? Or do we need a separate step in our deployment process to promote schemas to higher-level environments?
* What to promote first? My producer, consumer or schema?
* How do you generate Java classes from your Avro schemas using Maven or Gradle, and how to integrate this into your project(s)?
* How do you build an automated test suite (unit tests) to gain more confidence and verify you are not breaking compatibility? Even before deploying a new version of your schema or application.
With live demos, we'll show you how to make schema changes work seamlessly. Emphasizing the crucial decisions, using real-life examples, pitfalls and best practices when promoting schemas on the consumer and producer sides.

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.

In this session, Jen Stirrup will explain how to start thinking about these technologies as an organisation.
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!
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.

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.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert

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.

44. WHAT DOES EVERY BIBLIOHEAD NEED?
An ONIX Manual
The most used portion for general use is:
ONIX for Books
Product Information Message, Product Record Format
www.editeur.org
&
Current Code Lists
Current ONIX is defined by Version 2.1 Revision 02 or 03
Code Lists Issue 8
45.
46. Knowing that ONIX changes
Not that much
Check BookNet Canada’s website periodically (at least two or three times a
year). The main page for Bibliographic Standards and Certification
lists recent changes and you can find out details about reporting on things
like Indigo ‘s Recycling information and US CPSIA Warnings
Code List Issue 9 is due momentarily.
Code List Issue 10 will include Indigo’s recycling codes.
Every six months or so... ONIX changes.
But once a decade...
A major revision to ONIX -- Version 3.0 -- is almost complete. Data
aggregators are unsure when they will start accepting it but most estimate
sometime in 2010 to 2011. The Canadian bibliographic community has not
determined how or if we’ll implement 3.0 but publishers should at aware
that a major overhaul of their ONIX systems may be necessary within two to
five years.

Validation and enhancement of your new ONIX file.
A new version is about to be released that will fix a number of
minor issues and defaults, and provides support for the composite
that Indigo requires for it’s recycling reporting.
54. ONIX still required...
But better support and
tools that are integrated into the work process
