I have learned a bit about what the Great Game of life means. The education has been interesting, painful, sobering, costly, rewarding, with some of it staying forever in that netherworld of still uncompleted events. But the same lesson was taught throughout. If this life given to me by others has taught anything, it is this. You need to stand for something; you need to make other people’s sacrifices—spouses, parents, family, friends, fellow countrymen—worth the effort.
It is the only way each of us can shoulder the legacy, the gift, the
responsibility. Especially these days. Conflict is a major part of what is experienced all around us. In fact, it has been the norm for some time. Peace seems to be the exception rather than the rule. The Great Game for Global Supremacy has serious stakes.
I know about some of this personally. And that gives way to a ready emotion. I am writing these lines a few days before a very bittersweet anniversary. It is one of two dates on which I should have died. On both occasions, somebody else did instead. But what makes the upcoming anniversary more poignant is the victim. He was a fellow traveler in The Great Game, a close friend, and I put him there in the Great Game for Global Supremacy to be sacrificed.

“Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice” is a videogame published by Ninja Theory. Aim of the project was presenting how the human mind works, with the aid of experts in mental health and patients. Senua is a Celtic warrior suffering with psychosis. The high standards in art and technology together with patients’ experience resulted in an outstanding success. Psychology is a core element of videogames as far as mental health is concerned, but it could also represent a key factor in character and narrative design, gamers’ motivational profile, fostering values, impact beyond entertainment.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
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).

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.

It’s true that there are plenty of videogames that tiny
children shouldn’t play. I am a grown up lady, and I need to
shoot people.
I think It’s best if it occurs fictionally.

valuable way to reduce its power. Being evil and destructive in imagination is a vital
compensation for the wildness we all have to surrender on our way to being good

57. “Long experience has taught me that the
crux of my fortunes is whether I can radiate
good will toward my audience. There is only
one way to do it and that is to feel it. You
can fool the eyes and minds of the audience,
but you cannot fool their hearts.”
