Writing first developed in ancient China as early as the Shang Dynasty in the form of oracle bone inscriptions used for divination around 1200 BC. Over time, Chinese writing evolved from mostly pictographs to a logographic script using thousands of characters to write Chinese words. The development of writing helped advance ancient Chinese civilization by allowing the sharing of ideas, histories, laws, and other important information across its vast empire. Today we have gained a greater understanding of ancient Chinese culture and history by studying artifacts like oracle bones, bronze vessels, and silk manuscripts that have survived from that period.

Students need extra time for learning, and quality summer programs offer that.”
During the week of July 6, cities around the country will hold events to raise awareness of the importance of high-quality summer learning opportunities in the lives of youth and their families. The week’s activities will culminate with Summer Learning Day on July 9, an annual national event organized by the National Center for Summer Learning to focus attention on how quality summer learning programs help close the achievement gap and promote healthy development.

This is a historic opportunity to use new public dollars for summer learning programs and help thousands more children achieve their full potential.”
Research shows that all children experience learning loss when they don’t engage in educational activities during the summer. Here are simple, low-cost things parents can do to make sure their children are active and engaged this summer:

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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.
