Why Hacking WordPress Search Isn't Some Big Scary ThingChris Reynolds
Developers can be a stubborn lot. We like to focus on the things we know really well, and things we don’t deal with as often can be seen as “hard”. Search is one of those things that gets written off a lot, few devs I know will deal with it (voluntarily), and almost everyone will tell you “WordPress search sucks.” In this presentation you will learn that not only do you know more about how search works than you thought you did, but maybe give you a better understanding of how WordPress works as a whole, as well as showing you some cool tricks that you can do with WordPress search.

Until recently, most low carbon retrofits have been carried out by experts and enthusiasts on their own houses. However, retrofit needs to move rapidly into the mass market if we are to meet our carbon reduction targets. What if occupants are not experts? Is "usability" dependent on context, user goals, and the user's ability to achieve these with "effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction" a useful framework for assessing the success of low carbon retrofit? Do the goals of users match those of designers? What evidence is there of good and poor usability in low carbon retrofit?
Residents’ primary motivations for involvement were reduced fuel bills and improved comfort, rather than green issues. Initial monitoring has revealed the importance of usability and personal control in achieving these aims for the residents. In this they are likely to be closer to the typical mass-market customer than the early pioneers.
Marianne Heasleip from URBED presented initial findings from a set of linked case studies of completed low carbon whole house retrofits in the social housing sector the UK. Her findings point to the importance of matters such as the specification of controls, the quality of handover information, the importance of communication whilst the works are in progress and the need for ongoing customer care. This is likely to have management and cost implications in any mass market retrofit scheme. She suggests that usability should indeed be a significant concern for designers, of both whole houses and individual products, at strategic and tactical levels.
- The document discusses developing a vocabulary or framework for describing the aesthetics and qualities of touch to support designers in critiquing and designing for experiences involving touch.
- Existing languages for other senses like taste, smell, vision and sound are mentioned to provide context. However, there is currently no established language for describing the qualities of touch.
- Developing such a vocabulary could help make discussions about haptic qualities in design more explicit and defendable, rather than relying solely on tacit and subjective understandings.
- The proposed outputs include a framework that designers could use to critique the role of touch in experience design.
- Developing the vocabulary will involve literature

Similar to CO2 sequestration in a different manner (20)
The document discusses using olivine minerals to sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere as a means of mitigating climate change. It describes how olivine weathers in the presence of CO2 and water to form magnesium carbonate and silica, permanently storing the carbon. Several companies are working on mineral carbon sequestration projects using olivine residues, mine tailings, or accelerating natural weathering processes. One such company, Green Minerals, sells a product called "greensand" for use in landscaping, sports fields, and construction to sequester CO2 while providing new markets for olivine materials.
The document discusses using olivine to reduce CO2 levels in the atmosphere through carbon mineralization. Olivine naturally reacts with CO2 and water to form magnesium carbonate and silica. Accelerating this process through mining, crushing, and spreading olivine could provide an effective method to lower CO2 levels. The company greenSand develops olivine-based products for use in soils and gardens to capture CO2 from the air on a large scale through natural carbonization processes. Modeling shows olivine sand can sequester 200-400 kg of CO2 per ton applied, providing an elegant and low-cost solution to climate change.
This document summarizes a presentation on modeling the weathering of olivine rock to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The presentation models how olivine weathers over time, calculating the rate of CO2 sequestration and release of nickel into the environment. The model shows that for agricultural applications, only very fine olivine exceeds nickel regulations in the first month, but olivine can be used for both civil and agricultural uses overall. The document includes figures showing model inputs, outputs for CO2 sequestered, magnesium and nickel released over time, and nickel concentrations in plants and soils.

Validation efforts include concrete and paper applications to replace cement or pulp to store CO2 long-term. Challenges addressed developing profitable processes, validating storage, and gaining market acceptance for new products.
The presentation discusses turning CO2 into valuable products by mineralizing it through reaction with olivine to form magnesite and silica. This process traps the CO2 while producing materials that can replace limestone and talc in concrete, paper, and polymers. Currently the process is being researched by Green Minerals and other partners to commercialize CO2 mineralization and utilize the products in various markets.
The document discusses turning carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable products through mineralization. It describes trapping CO2 by reacting it with olivine at high temperatures and pressures to form solid carbonates. This process can be used to produce construction materials like concrete and paper coatings as a replacement for lime and talc, storing the CO2 within the final products. Some challenges to scaling this up include developing supercritical water systems for the reaction, performing validation testing on the beneficial use of products, and gaining market acceptance and policy support.
1. The document discusses using mineralization to trap CO2 emissions from paper manufacturing. CO2 reacts with olivine to form valuable products like magnesite and silica.
2. Initial tests at University of Darmstadt showed CO2 mineral products improved the optical properties of paper and had good retention in paper, rated as a positive first result by the professor.
3. Next steps are to scale up production, further validate benefits in paper beyond CO2 reduction, and create market awareness and policy support to enable commercialization targeting 0.4 tons of CO2 captured per ton of paper product.
This document summarizes a lecture on carbon dioxide removal technologies using minerals. It discusses using olivine to sequester CO2 through mineral carbonation.

It concludes by introducing the founder of the company Green Minerals that developed this CO2 mineralization process.
The document summarizes a presentation given at the International Conference on Negative CO2 emissions in Stockholm, Sweden on May 22, 2018. The presentation was titled "Safely & Economic Sequestering CO2 with Olivine" and discussed using the mineral olivine to safely and economically sequester carbon dioxide through an exothermic mineralization reaction. Test results from agricultural studies in Wageningen, Antwerp, and the Netherlands demonstrated olivine's ability to sequester CO2 from the atmosphere and sales data and pricing for olivine-based products were presented.
This presentation discusses using CO2 as a feedstock by mineralizing it through reactions with olivine. The process could help address climate change by providing permanent storage of CO2 emissions in minerals. While mineralization occurs slowly through natural weathering, the presentation describes approaches to intensify the reaction through milling, acids, or high pressure and heat in a reactor. Initial testing of the reactor process shows potential to mineralize CO2 while generating heat, and the resulting products may be used in concrete, paper, or polymers. Further research and scaling up of the mineralization technology is needed, but it offers circular economy benefits by converting the waste product of CO2 into useful materials.
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.
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.

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.
