Abstract:
The Census is the only national public policy tool that collects data with a large enough sample size to report findings at small sub-municipal geographic scales. The loss of the long-form census may impede researchers and community based organizations from conducting neighbourhood analysis. Other surveys conducted by Statistics Canada do not have a large enough sample size to fill this gap. Canadians may be left with analyzes on a variety of public policy issues only at the city or metropolitan area scale. This would impede the ability for place based analysis and location specific action. Neighbourhood scale research using Census data will be discussed, The Cybercartographic Pilot Atlas of the Risk of Homelessness created at the Geomatics and Cartographic Research and other examples from community based research initiatives such as the Community Data Consortium will be presented. This will include maps and data about social issues in Canadian cities & metropolitan areas (e.g. Calgary, Toronto, Halton, Sault Ste. Marie, Hamilton, Ottawa, Montreal, & others) to demonstrate the importance of local analysis. The impact of the loss for evidence based decision making for communities in Canada’s will be the key element of the discussion.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
"NATO Hackathon Winner: AI-Powered Drug Search", Taras KlobaFwdays
This is a session that details how PostgreSQL's features and Azure AI Services can be effectively used to significantly enhance the search functionality in any application.
In this session, we'll share insights on how we used PostgreSQL to facilitate precise searches across multiple fields in our mobile application. The techniques include using LIKE and ILIKE operators and integrating a trigram-based search to handle potential misspellings, thereby increasing the search accuracy.
We'll also discuss how the azure_ai extension on PostgreSQL databases in Azure and Azure AI Services were utilized to create vectors from user input, a feature beneficial when users wish to find specific items based on text prompts. While our application's case study involves a drug search, the techniques and principles shared in this session can be adapted to improve search functionality in a wide range of applications. Join us to learn how PostgreSQL and Azure AI can be harnessed to enhance your application's search capability.
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

Editor's Notes
I wouldn’t normally encourage people to skip my presentation, but…
Registration problems -people who had voted in the same place for years, not changed anything, yet not on the rolls -people who had registered before the deadline but weren’t in the book -people who were listed with a party other than the one they registered for
We geocoded these records giving each a location in south east PA.
We then joined these geocoded records with census tracts to produce thematic maps showing the distribution of supporters.
And we created density maps of Wilma supporters. This was in particular very helpful to enable the Wilma to see the differences in dense urban areas like center city philadelphia.

We selected a variety of factors that contribute to sustainability, ranging from location in a state or federal tax incentive zone to environmental amenities like tree canopy to transit considerations like access to bus and regional rail lines. Retail businesses targeting markets may be interested in demographic factors like age and per capita income and proxies for environmental engagement like recycling participation.
Now imagine if you could input all of these factors, assign weights to each one of them and generate a map with the hot spots lit up. Now that would help me find the best neighborhood... or site a business... or, depending on the input factors, prioritize your marketing campaign. So that’s what we decided to do. But we weren’t the first.
So, these days people do this kind of work using desktop GIS systems. You are looking at the ArcMap application from ESRI

A few years ago we had developed the Cicero elected official lookup. To do this, we amassed a lots and lots of shapefiles of district boundaries. We noticed that Philadelphia had some pretty astonishingly contorted boundaries. We were wondering, how bade were they really? We happened to have all this spatial data handy, so we figured we could put our GIS & spatial analysis skills to find out.
