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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
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.

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).

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!

Preparing to Print
Before you print your slides, you must prepare them by accessing the Page Setup dialog box.
This dialog box provides options for you to identify your output medium (e.g., paper, on-screen
slide show, 35mm slides) and the orientation (portrait or landscape) of slides, notes, handouts,
and outlines.
Exploring Printing Options
With PowerPoint, you can produce a variety of presentation media. The simplest way, requiring
no special equipment other than your printer, is to print your slides on paper. You can also print
your outline, speaker’s notes, and audience handouts.
Another option is to create transparencies. If you have a laser or inkjet printer, you can load it
with transparencies that are specially made for laser printers. The results are high-quality
transparencies you can project by using an overhead projector. Black and White is the
recommended choice when printing slides for overhead transparencies or handouts.
Before you print your slides, you need to prepare them. You can prepare your slides by using the
Page Setup option from the Design command tab.
Grayscale vs. Pure Black and White
You can print your slides quickly by using one of the black and white options. Grayscale allows
you to print your slides quickly by displaying your text in black and white, and your images in
shades of gray. Pure Black and White allows for rapid printing and may help your images to
become clearer. Colors do not always translate well into grayscale, so the Pure Black and White
6
7. Microsoft PowerPoint 2007
ITC
option will display them, and all other components of your slides, in only black and white. Both
Grayscale and Pure Black and White can be selected within the print dialog box. After you have
made your selection, the presentation slides change appearance to reflect your choices.
Setting Up Slides to Print
Before you print your slides, you need to set them up. You can identify your output medium
(e.g., A4 Paper, On-screen Slide, 35mm Slides) as well as the orientation (e.g., Portrait,
Landscape) of slides, notes, handouts, and outlines.
1. Open the presentation you want to set up
2. From the Design command tab, in the Page Setup group, » select Page Setup
The Page Setup dialog box appears.
3. From the Slides sized for pull-down list, select the output medium you plan to use
Each choice comes with a default width, height, and orientation.
4. If necessary, change the orientation
HINTS:
In Landscape orientation, the printout will be wider than it is tall. In Portrait orientation,
the printout will be taller than it is wide.
Notice that you can choose one orientation for slides and another for notes, handouts, and
outlines. The default settings—Landscape for slides and Portrait for notes, handouts, and
outlines—are good choices, with one exception: overhead transparencies. For
transparencies, select Letter or A4 Paper and Landscape orientation.
5. To change the width and height, in the Width and Height text boxes, type a specific
number, or use the nudge buttons to select a number
HINT: If you make a change here, the Slides sized for text box automatically changes to
the Custom option.
6. To start slide numbering with a number other than 1, in the Number slides from text box,
type a specific number, or use the arrow buttons to select a number
7. Click OK

To print non-consecutive slides, type the numbers of the slides separated by commas (e.g., to
print pages seven and twelve, type 7,12).
Click OK
The desired information prints.
Using Sounds and Video
After you have learned the basics of PowerPoint 2007, you can add a little zip to your
presentation. To increase its attractiveness, try adding sounds, music, videos, and narration.
Having some of these effects in your presentation can capture and focus the audience's attention
and enhance the overall effectiveness.
About Inserting Sounds and Video
PowerPoint 2007 includes a variety of sounds and videos in the Clip Gallery that are free to use.
However, you can also use sound files from other sources, (e.g., the Web, CD-ROMs of sound
clips, and sound clips that you create).
When you insert sounds or videos, you will be inserting them one slide at a time. In order to
insert the sound or video, make sure you are viewing the appropriate slide in the Normal view.
NOTE: After inserting the selected sound or video, an icon appears on the slide. If you do not
choose to let PowerPoint automatically start the sound or video, clicking on the icon will play the
clip.
