IT businesses must make a choice.
The blue pill will give them more of the same.
The red pill might take them somewhere else.
This talk was a very short 8 min. wake up call given to an audience of around 100 IT professionals. The point was to shake things up a bit a question some of the fundamental ideas in IT.
It is of course not without humor to suggest yourself as the savior, and the whole presentation was very much a gimmick. However, the feedback was impressive: many attendees felt very inspired and approached me after the presentation. Others hated it and was very clear about it in their written evaluation. That was exactly the intention: nobody was indifferent.

Linkage
Genes far apart on the same assort independently are not linked
The position of the gene – locus
Occurs in the prophase of meiosis 1 where homologous chromosomes break at identical locations and rejoin with each other
Two genes are said to be under linkage, or linked, when they are located on the same chromosome.
Example: peas T=tall; t=short R=red; r=white
Crossing Over
Crossing over is a recombination of genes due to exchange of genetic material between two homologous chromosomes
It is the mutual exchange of segments of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of two homologous chromosomes, so as to produce re-combinations or new combinations of genes.
It occurs in the pachytene stage, at four strand stage with the help of enzymes (endonuclease, exo-nuclease, R-protein or recombinase;
Stern and Hotta,(1969, 1978).
There is breakage of chromatid segments, exchange of nonsister chromatid segments and later their fusion in new places.

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!

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.

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.

6. You run as fast as you can to an empty alley. You turn back to see the building you just left crumble to pieces. The quarantine team wasn’t even after you, but the civilians on the roof. You sigh in disbelief as you see the remains of the innocent residents. Without a second though you keep walking through the alley. You notice the quarantine team’s shooting stopped, but keep walking anyways. You reach a door situated in the middle of a building’s wall. You hear something rumbling inside… >Open the door, and enter< >Keep walking through the alley<
