Do you obsess when writing emails to "business people" or feel awkward and not know how to converse with "finance people"? Dread networking events? Understanding the biases that our audience have and being empathetic to their goals will smooth any interaction. Open source projects present unique business challenges since so many of our staffing resources are volunteer. Easy interactions and good business happen when common interests are highlighted and shared goals are defined. Let's cut through posturing and adversarial language and practice hacking people to align interests and improve everyone's comfort in business situations. The fantastic side effect of this is that your project and business become more inclusive and stronger through diversity of background, skills and perspectives.

Investors have been shying away from investing in Indian equity mutual funds as the sustained stock market slump has wiped out significant gains from 2007. While inflows into equity funds have declined in recent months, outflows have also remained relatively low as investors are not rushing to pull out of funds. The slowdown in equity fund flows has mainly impacted high net-worth and institutional investors, while regular investment plans have continued to see steady inflows.

Fraking Robots, Dude!
This document discusses the possibility of creating a robot society by mimicking human development and teaching robots social skills through language. It compares different frameworks for cognitive development, including Piaget's focus on individual development vs Vygotsky's emphasis on social and cultural influences. The document suggests using Vygotsky's framework to teach robots a proto-language through social interaction and imitation, and to study how their language and interaction with humans change over time. Broader implications are discussed around the relationships between culture, language, history and the creation of society.

Interconnecting containers at scale #Dockercon
Or, how NGINX can act as your stevedores properly routing and accelerating HTTP and TCP traffic to pods of containers across a globally distributed environment.
NGINX can be used to manage and route your traffic across your distributed micro services architecture offering a seamless interface to your customers and giving you granular management of backend service scaling and versions. Add in some caching and load balancing and the efficiencies of an application delivery platform become apparent.
NGINX 101 - now with more Docker
NGINX is used by more than 130 million websites as a lightweight way to serve web content. Use it to decrease costs, improve performance and open up bottlenecks in web and application server environments without a major architectural overhaul. In this talk, we'll cover the three most basic use cases of static content delivery, application load balancing, and web proxying with caching; and touch on the NGINX maintained Docker container.

Als Notes- oder Domino-Kunde haben Sie vielleicht mit unerwartet hohen Benutzerzahlen und Lizenzgebühren zu kämpfen. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, wie diese neue Art der Lizenzierung funktioniert und welchen Nutzen sie Ihnen bringt. Vor allem wollen Sie sicherlich Ihr Budget einhalten und Kosten sparen, wo immer möglich. Das verstehen wir und wir möchten Ihnen dabei helfen!
Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen. Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell.
Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren. Sie werden in der Lage sein, Ihre Kosten durch eine optimierte Domino-Konfiguration zu reduzieren und auch in Zukunft gering zu halten.

Building Production Ready Search Pipelines with Spark and Milvus
Spark is the widely used ETL tool for processing, indexing and ingesting data to serving stack for search. Milvus is the production-ready open-source vector database. In this talk we will show how to use Spark to process unstructured data to extract vector representations, and push the vectors to Milvus vector database for search serving.
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.
