Genre analysis
Crime films focus on the lives of criminals and crimes they commit, ranging from realistic portrayals to dramatized depictions. Mob films deal specifically with organized crime and the mafia. The genre originated in silent films but was defined in the early 1930s during the Great Depression, producing classics like Little Caesar that chronicled criminals' quick rises and falls while still making them charismatic. The Godfather series in the 1970s was hugely influential, and later decades produced acclaimed mob films often loosely based on real crimes and criminals like Goodfellas in the 1990s and The Departed in the 2000s.

Thriller Genre Investigation
The summary provides high-level information about two thriller films in 3 sentences or less:
The document discusses two thriller films - Man on Fire and National Security. Man on Fire is about a former assassin who is hired to protect an industrialist's daughter but seeks revenge when she is kidnapped. National Security is an action comedy about two LAPD rejects who become security guards and uncover a smuggling operation while evading the real police and criminals.
Crime genre history
The earliest known crime story was "The Three Apples" from One Thousand and One Nights. In the 1920s-1930s, the Golden Age of crime fiction emerged with significant authors like Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers writing detective stories that typically involved a stranger being found dead and a detective investigating the suspects connected to the victim. Modern crime dramas now sometimes portray the police as antagonists and criminals as protagonists, though the traditional format of discovering a body and investigating clues remains popular in shows like CSI.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
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.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
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:

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
