The document discusses ways to scale up railscamps, conferences for Ruby programmers, from their current model. It suggests that larger railscamps could have benefits like more specialization among organizers, more opportunities for learning from a diverse group of attendees, and exposing more people to Ruby programming. Some challenges of scaling up mentioned are transportation, accommodations, and oversubscription of tickets.

Destrucción de la capa de ozono
La capa de ozono es un escudo protector que filtra los rayos ultravioleta dañinos para la vida en la Tierra. La capa de ozono se ha estado perdiendo debido al uso de gases como los CFC que contienen cloro y flúor. Esto ha causado un aumento en el calentamiento global y enfermedades como cáncer de piel e inhibición del sistema inmunológico. Para reducir el daño a la capa de ozono, debemos usar productos libres de CFC y dar mantenimiento adecuado a aparatos que los conten
Bois 1920 - Brochure Limited Edition
BOIS 1920 è un marchio che esprime la passione della famiglia Galardi per l’arte
profumiera. Tutto inizia nel 1920 quando Guido, il capostipite, sperimenta le prime
formule raccogliendo lo Spigo (Lavanda toscana) che matura nei campi delle
colline intorno a Firenze.
La sua ricerca assume accordi espressivi diversi: oli essenziali, soluzioni odorose,
sacchetti profumati. Guido sogna a Firenze una bottega artigianale dove creare
fragranze uniche:
La storia ritorna. La sensibilità e l’arte di Guido sono tramandati ad Enzo, suo
nipote, che, all’età di tredici anni, frequenta Piero grande esperto di essenze.
Nel 1985 entra nel mondo dei profumi trasformando la sua passione in professione.
E’ il 2005. Enzo, reinterpretando le antiche formulazioni, ritrova il
“profumo” inteso come espressione artistica, il suo sogno si accende,
le emozioni e l’anima di Guido si materializzano: nasce BOIS 1920.
Sticky Notes

Finding Japanese Flatmates with Ruby (English and Japanese)
Talk on finding Japanese Flatmates with Ruby, given at an after-party of RubyKaigi 2016
Git Tips and Tricks
Talk given at RoRoSyd in August 2016.
Most people use git (or similar version control software), but many people only use a small subset of its functionality.
What unused functionality is there in git, and how can it be useful?
RuboCop
RuboCop is a tool that analyzes Ruby code to detect style and structural issues. It includes cops for styles, linting, metrics, and Rails. It can be configured using YAML files to customize which checks run and auto-correct certain issues. When applying RuboCop to existing projects, it can generate a configuration file to allow current offenses and ignore files that are auto-generated code.
Tootle returning to rails
This document summarizes Andrew Grimm's career path from university and research roles to his current position as a back-end Rails developer at a large company. It describes some key differences he has experienced moving from solo development and a research environment to group development and a commercial setting. These include working in a team with daily standups and pull requests requiring multiple approvals, as well as changing from Ruby to Rails and adopting different testing techniques like mocking.
Finding Japanese flatmates with Ruby
This document describes Andrew Grimm's approach to finding Japanese flatmates in Sydney using Ruby. He downloads flatshare ads from Gumtree and checks if any words match Japanese names by using dictionaries like ENAMDICT. However, this results in many false positives as ordinary words are also identified as names. Looking at scientific papers in Medline provides better frequency data to distinguish actual names from other words.
YHA Japan travel night (internet version)
Slides from my photo night given at the YHA Social & Outdoor Club in September 2013.
I've been to a variety of areas including Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kyoto, and Tokyo.
The talk featured the well known and less well known parts of Japan. The photos include geishas, temples, festivals, and "snow monsters" (樹氷), but also more everyday scenes as well.
Some photos have been deleted, but are available upon request.
Curing AIDS, with programming
A talk on my bioinformatics work using Ruby given at ROROSyd on 8 October 2013
Semi-Japanese version: http://www.slideshare.net/agrimm/hiv-talk-for-programmers-english-draft
Avoiding niseko syndrome
The document discusses the phenomenon of "Niseko Syndrome" where the once-Japanese ski resort of Niseko in Hokkaido has become very Australian in character due to many Australian visitors and staff. It notes how even with so many Australian influences, the snow remains Japanese. It then addresses issues with socializing at technical conferences like RubyKaigi, where Japanese attendees often only socialize with other Japanese and international attendees only socialize amongst themselves. It provides strategies to help encourage socializing across groups, such as finding bilingual people to help translate or ensuring name tags have romaji writing to help with identification.
Curing AIDS, with programming
This document summarizes Andrew Grimm's research using programming to understand HIV and AIDS. It discusses how HIV hijacks cells to reproduce, causing AIDS if left untreated. Grimm studies two types of HIV mutations - point mutations changing single letters in the genome, and recombinations swapping portions of the two genome copies. Studying mutations helps understand how HIV escapes the immune system and becomes drug-resistant. Grimm analyzes virus sequence data from laboratory experiments to compare original and mutated genomes and gain new insights into HIV, facing challenges as his analyses have expanded to millions of sequences.
Memoirs of a programmer (internet version)
A description of my trip to Japan for Sapporo RubyKaigi 2012. Along the way, I met up with Tokyo Rubyist Meetup, Asakusa.rb, Minami.rb, and I also visited Iwaki, Fukushima, and Kyoto, where I had the best excuse ever for almost missing out on Railcamp tickets.
日本語のタイトル：プログラマーHaaaan!!!
Rubyist in oz
This document summarizes the Ruby developer community and lifestyle in Australia. It outlines the regular meetups, hack nights, and conferences that bring Australian Rubyists together, including monthly Ruby meetups in major cities and biannual railscamps known for hacking, talks, and socializing. It also discusses working as a developer in Australia, noting the strong economy but high cost of living. More broadly, it characterizes Australian culture as egalitarian and describes attitudes towards foreigners and Japanese people as welcoming despite the presence of dangerous wildlife.
Japanese: a programmers language
Slides for "Japanese - a programmer's language", a talk at Sapporo RubyKaigi 2012.
Ruby for newbies Lake Ainsworth
This document introduces Ruby as a multi-paradigm language that supports object-oriented, functional, and procedural programming. It notes that everything in Ruby is an object, and that instructions are implemented as methods. It provides examples of enumerating with ranges and doing functional-style programming with procs. The document also briefly covers metaprogramming and redirecting standard output as examples of Ruby's flexibility.
Ruby 1.8.8 and professor
How to use Ruby 1.8 head (which has 1.9 style hash syntax!), and a description of professor, which compares two separate ruby-prof profilings to detect differences.
Sapporo ruby kaigi
Sapporo RubyKaigi 2012 will be a 3 day regional Ruby conference held in Sapporo, Japan in March 2012. The conference will feature speakers such as Aaron Patterson and Yehuda Katz. Sapporo was chosen as the location due to its Ruby community and natural beauty. Attendees can look forward to learning about Ruby as well as enjoying the local cuisine and visiting Asahiyama zoo.
How to talk like a ge1sha
This document provides an overview of basic Japanese language concepts for programmers including:
- Common Japanese words used in computing like "programmer", "bug", and "blog" along with their Japanese translations.
- Phrases for greetings, asking how someone is, and saying thanks and goodbye.
- How to form basic sentences using subject markers and verb forms.
- An introduction to the Japanese writing systems of kanji, hiragana, and katakana.
- Guidance on Japanese politeness conventions including honorific suffixes and verb conjugations.
- Tips for learning Japanese and communicating effectively as a foreigner in Japan.
All I want for Matz-mas
The author expresses their wishes for improvements to the Ruby programming language and community in the upcoming year. They want warnings to be enabled by default in Ruby 2.0 to catch errors, better support for functional programming patterns, and more approachable books on maintainable and optimized Ruby code. The author also hopes the Ruby community will ask and answer more advanced technical questions, be less discriminatory, and continue improving Ruby's ability to scale.
Mistakes I have made
The document discusses common mistakes in software development like excessively large classes that should be broken into smaller classes or modules. It also discusses avoiding side effects by having methods return strings instead of directly outputting to files or databases, which makes the code easier to test. Other topics covered include maintaining separation of tasks to avoid unnecessary repetition, how maintainability allows for adding or modifying functionality more easily over time, and how difficulties testing code may indicate problems with the code structure rather than testing ability. Version control is recommended as a form of documentation to understand past reasoning and large commits suggest underlying code quality issues.
Ampersand method
This code snippet calls the map method on an array containing the strings "42" and "99", passing a method reference to the Integer constructor method. This will convert each element in the array to an integer by passing it to Integer.method_name is not defined in the code sample.
Nihon go do you speak it
The document discusses learning Japanese and provides tips for handling communication in Japan. It notes that learning grammar is important, not just vocabulary. Japanese uses different sentence structure than English, with nouns first and verbs having only past and present tense. Loanwords from English are common but have added vowels. Train station names and toilet signs use both Japanese and English. Communication relies on common sense and writing things down can help when pronunciations vary. Organizing Japanese lessons could help build participation at future Ruby conferences in Japan.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena Syrota
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
