Daniel Gaudi is a former high-ranking police officer who was demoted for his maverick behavior and reassigned to a small town. On his first night there, he hears a scream while walking but dismisses it. The next day, he is introduced to his new partner and they are called to investigate the murder of an elderly man. Gaudi interviews the hysterical wife who describes seeing a monstrous figure at the crime scene. Later at a bar, Gaudi meets and flirts with a woman named Christina who had seen the murder from her apartment window.
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is an early 1990s role-playing adventure game where the player controls Link to rescue Princess Zelda. The game has pixelated graphics and limited color, but detailed sprites. Gameplay involves moving Link in four directions to defeat enemies like soldiers in the castle using a sword and magic. While the soundtrack is repetitive, the character development of Link and Zelda and story-driven gameplay make it enjoyable for retro game fans.
The document presents methods for semantic image enhancement and automatic color naming using a statistical framework. It links image characteristics to keywords using a database of over 1 million images annotated with metadata. This allows applications like enhancing images based on semantics, such as adjusting tone mapping for "snow" images. It also details work on collecting a dataset of over 9,000 color names in 10 languages and using it to estimate color values from images. The framework provides a scalable way to perform tasks like semantic image editing and color naming across large vocabularies.

What are the Benefits of Tears for Your Health?jolie111
Crying has benefits for physical and mental health. It is a natural response to emotions that helps release stress and encourages healing. There are three main types of tears - basal tears which keep eyes moist, reflex tears caused by irritants, and emotional tears containing hormones that act as natural painkillers. Studies show crying improves mood for 90% of people and is an underutilized health tip despite its benefits.
An installment loan is a loan that is paid back through fixed regular payments over time. For example, borrowing £100 with 3 monthly payments of £50.60 each would result in a total repayment of £151.79. Installment loans involve borrowing a sum and repaying it in pre-agreed fixed amounts at set intervals, usually monthly, until the full amount plus interest is paid off.

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.

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).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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.
