This document explores the differences between methods and functions in Python. Methods are functions that are associated with an object or class, can access and modify object attributes, and are invoked using dot notation. Functions are independent blocks of code that are not tied to objects, cannot access object attributes directly, and are invoked by name. Key differences are that methods are associated with objects while functions are not, methods can modify object state but functions cannot, and methods belong to a class namespace while functions have their own. Examples are provided to illustrate method and function syntax and usage.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
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).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epic Python Face-Off -Methods vs. Functions.pdf
1. Epic Python Face-Off -Methods vs. Functions
Python is a versatile programming language that offers various ways to
organize and execute code. Two fundamental concepts in Python are
methods and functions. Although they are similar in some ways, they
have distinct characteristics and purposes.
In this guide, we will explore the differences between methods and
functions, and their use cases, and provide code snippets and
examples to illustrate their functionalities.
Methods in Python:
Methods in Python are functions that are associated with an object or
a class. They operate on the data contained within the object and can
modify its state. Methods are invoked using the dot notation, where
the method is called on an instance of a class or an object. They have
access to the instance variables and can perform actions specific to the
object they belong to. Here are some key characteristics of methods:
2. 1. Object association: Methods are bound to objects or classes and
are accessed using the dot notation.
2. Self-reference: The first parameter of a method is typically
named ‘self’ and refers to the instance of the object that called the
method.
3. Modifying object state: Methods can modify the state of an
object by accessing and manipulating its attributes.
Python Methods vs Functions
3. Key Characteristics of Methods:
Example:
python
class Rectangle:
def __init__(self, width, height):
self.width = width
self.height = height
4. def area(self):
return self.width * self.height
rect = Rectangle(5, 3)
print(rect.area()) # Output: 15
In the example above, the `area` method is defined within the
`Rectangle` class. It calculates and returns the area of the rectangle
based on its width and height.
II. Functions in Python:
Functions in Python, on the other hand, are independent blocks of
code that can take inputs, perform computations, and return results.
Functions are not tied to specific objects or classes and can be invoked
from anywhere in the program. They promote reusability and
encapsulate a specific functionality. Here are some key characteristics
of functions:
5. 1. Standalone entities: Functions are separate entities and can be
defined outside of any class or object.
2. Input parameters: Functions can accept input parameters to
perform computations or operate on the data provided.
3. No access to object attributes: Unlike methods, functions do
not have direct access to object attributes or state.
Key Characteristics of Functions:
Example:
6. python
def greet(name):
return f"Hello, {name}!"
print(greet("Alice")) # Output: Hello, Alice!
In the example above, the `greet` function takes a parameter `name`
and returns a greeting message with the provided name.
III. Creating User-Defined Functions:
In addition to built-in methods and functions, Python allows you to
create your own functions. User-defined functions are created using
the def keyword, followed by the function name and a pair of
parentheses. You can define parameters within the parentheses to
accept inputs, and the function body is indented below.
Example of a User-Defined Function:
7. python
def multiply(a, b):
return a * b
result = multiply(3, 4)
print(result) # Output: 12
IV. Key Differences between Methods and Functions:
Now that we have an understanding of methods and functions, let’s
compare them based on several aspects:
1. Syntax: Methods are invoked using the dot notation, while
functions are called by their name followed by parentheses.
2. Object Association: Methods are associated with objects or
classes, whereas functions are not tied to any specific object.
8. 3. Access to Object Attributes: Methods can access and modify the
attributes of an object, while functions cannot directly access object
attributes.
4. Namespace: Methods belong to the namespace of the object or
class they are defined in, while functions have their own namespace.
5. Usage: Methods are often used to encapsulate behaviors specific to
an object, while functions are more suitable for generic computations
or operations.
Key Differences between Methods and Functions:
9. V. Examples illustrating the Differences:
1. Method Example:
Python
class Circle:
def __init__(self, radius):
self.radius = radius
10. def area(self):
return 3.14 * self.radius**2
circle = Circle(4)
print(circle.area()) # Output: 50.24
In this example, the `Circle` class has a method called `area` that
calculates and returns the area of a circle based on its radius.
2. Function Example:
python
def add_numbers(a, b):
return a + b
result = add_numbers(2, 3)
11. print(result) # Output: 5
In this example, the `add_numbers` function takes two parameters
`a` and `b`, and returns their sum.
Conclusion
In summary, methods and functions in Python serve different
purposes and have distinct characteristics. Methods are associated
with objects or classes, operate on their data, and can modify object
state. Functions, on the other hand, are standalone entities, can accept
parameters, and are not tied to specific objects. By understanding the
differences between methods and functions, you can effectively
organize and structure your Python code.
