The document discusses designing content for short attention spans. It notes that on average people will spend less than 3 minutes reading online. It emphasizes the importance of understanding audience and their needs. Traditional design focuses too much on aesthetics rather than usability and engagement. Mobile design does a better job prioritizing essential information. The key is focusing content on what is most important and keeping people engaged with concise, well-structured information.
The Beauty of Bootstrapping - Doing it AnywayChris Schultz

These pictures demonstrate various compositional techniques including the rule of thirds, balancing elements, leading lines, symmetry, patterns, different viewpoints, background, depth, framing, cropping, and experimentation.
The student conducted an experiment to observe osmosis in eggs placed in different solutions. Eggs were placed in corn syrup, water, and vinegar and their weights and sizes were measured before and after. The corn syrup egg got smaller and lighter as the egg's concentration was higher than the corn syrup. The water egg got larger and heavier as the water's concentration was higher than the egg. The purpose was to see how osmosis affected the eggs in different concentration solutions.
The document describes an experiment to observe osmosis in eggs. It involves removing the shell from eggs using vinegar, weighing and measuring the eggs, placing one in corn syrup and one in water, then weighing and measuring them again. The results show the egg in corn syrup weighed slightly more but was 3cm smaller, while the egg in water more than doubled in weight and increased in size by 1.5cm, demonstrating osmosis.
The document discusses several human rights that children in developing countries are denied, including education, freedom of speech, and basic freedom. It focuses on children who are forced to work in unsafe factories instead of going to school and who cannot freely express themselves. These children have little access to healthcare, food, or play. The document urges readers to raise awareness of these issues and support organizations helping children in need. It provides examples from the novel "Iqbal" of how children are denied schooling and freedom of speech. The last paragraph emphasizes the importance of learning about and donating to causes addressing human rights violations against children globally.
This document describes an experiment on egg osmosis. An egg was placed in water and another in corn syrup to observe differences in size, weight, and appearance over time. As hypothesized, the corn syrup egg decreased in size and gained weight as water left the egg. The water egg increased in size as water entered the egg due to lower concentration than the surrounding water. The experiment demonstrated osmosis occurring across the eggs' membranes in the different solutions.

The document describes an experiment to observe osmosis in eggs. It involves placing one egg in corn syrup and one in water, then measuring and weighing the eggs initially and after 24 hours. The hypothesis was that the egg in corn syrup would gain weight and size due to osmosis, while the egg in water would not change. The observations showed the corn syrup egg gained less weight and size, supporting water moving from the egg into the corn syrup by osmosis. The water egg remained the same, with water instead moving from the water into the egg.

The song is about two people who have finally found where they belong after a lifetime of feeling out of place. When they meet, they instantly connect and realize they have both been searching their whole lives to find someone with whom they are perfectly compatible. Being together feels completely new and exciting to them, like "love is an open door" between them.

The narrator describes growing up in the Philippines until moving to Canada at age 11. Some significant events included their mother having a miscarriage, and their grandmother passing away from a stroke on the narrator's seventh birthday. Getting their first dog Carlo at age 4 was impactful, though Carlo later choked on a plastic bag. The narrator hopes to become a successful computer engineer or work in computer science, living with their future family and dogs in a large house.
Ancient Egypt had borders along the Mediterranean Sea and Nile River, which was important for trading goods via boats with other cultures like Rome and Greece. Egyptians believed in multiple gods and goddesses and that the Pharaoh was a supreme ruler who was descended from the gods.

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:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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.
