Grid layout has now landed in all of the mainstream desktop browsers. It's exciting but how do we start to move to using grid layout, and why should we?
SmashingConf SF: Unlocking the Power of CSS Grid LayoutRachel Andrew
UNLOCKING THE POWER OF CSS GRID LAYOUT
Once you have grasped the basics of CSS Grid, you quickly discover how it enables many existing design patterns in a streamlined, elegant way. However, we shouldn’t see Grid in isolation. Understanding how other parts of CSS work together with Grid is key, in order to get the most out of our new abilities.
In this talk Rachel will be concentrating on a couple of these areas, CSS Box Alignment and CSS Sizing. Rachel will show you practical ways in which a little bit of knowledge in these areas can unlock the full potential of the Grid Specification. You’ll learn how to create useful components and to start thinking of ways in which you can solve design and interface problems in more creative ways.

Solving Layout Problems with CSS Grid & Friends - NordicJSRachel Andrew
I explain some of the common layout problems that CSS Grid and related specifications attempt to solve - while answering some of the common questions I am asked about Grid Layout.
Today we have CSS specifications for animation and transitions, complex layout, custom properties and much more. In addition to the breadth of modern CSS specifications, our evergreen, auto-updating browsers sneak in new features with every release.
In this talk, I’ll be taking a look at some of the things that CSS is capable of, some of which you might think you need a JavaScript framework or at least a pre-processor to achieve.
CSS Layout in 2016 is a mess of hacked together methods using techniques that were never designed for complex web and application layout. However change is in the air, brought to us by specifications such as CSS Grid Layout, Flexbox, and the Box Alignment Module. In this session Rachel will introduce these specifications, explaining how they fit together to create a new system for layout.

There is often a vocabulary gap between designers an developers, who should aim towards a ubiquitous way of conversing about colours, typography, viewport sizes, or the responsive grid system of a digital product… To bridge this gap at the Guardian, we use a CSS pre-processor as a communication enabler through the abstractions it allows us to put in place.

Asynchronous single page applications without a line of HTML or Javascript, o...Robert Schadek
AngularJS, together with Node.js, is an extremely powerful combination for building single page applications. Unfortunately, its development requires writing HTML and Javascript, which is tedious and error prone. By using vibe.d, HTML is no longer necessary, and the developers can use the full power of a static-typed language for the development of the backend. Substituting Javascript with Typescript in addition to a little bit of CTFE D magic then removes the need for redundant data type declarations, and makes everything statically typed. At the end of the talk, the attendee will have witnessed the creation of a statically typed, asynchronous single page application that required little extra typing than its dynamically typed equivalent. Additionally, the attendees will be motivated to explore the presented combination of frameworks as a viable desktop application UI framework.

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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

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).

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.

Grid is:
• Exciting - a real game changer
• Confusing - it doesn’t seem to do what I thought it would
• Scary - there are so many new properties to learn!

–Me, in a survey question
“Q. How do you feel when you see a new
CSS feature announced?”
32. @rachelandrew
Percentages
• Ugly
• Easy to understand
• If they total more than 100% bad things happen.
• Can be converted from an ideal pixel size using a straightforward
calculation.

“In the end, we discovered that a column-based
grid wasn’t actually needed. Since Grid allows you to
create a custom grid to match whatever layout you have,
we didn’t need to force it into 12 columns. Instead, we
created CSS Grid objects for some of the common layout
patterns in the designs.”

Many of the browsers without support are
most popular in areas where data is
expensive or devices less powerful.
135. @rachelandrew
–Survey responses
“Grid too young and would need a ton of polyfills.”
“Lack of a good css grid polyfill that works with postcss
and supports not so old browsers”
136. @rachelandrew
Stop looking for polyfills and shims. They will
make the experience worse for less capable
browsers and devices.
137. @rachelandrew
Using Grid rather than loading a big
framework can help create a better experience
even for browsers that don’t support Grid.
