- Legacy Perl code is code that uses outdated practices, has no tests or documentation, and is difficult to understand and modify. It often results from organic growth over many years and developers.
- Unit testing legacy code provides safety during refactoring, speeds up development by replacing debugging, and creates regression tests. However, the code's dependencies make it difficult to isolate and test.
- Techniques like dependency injection, sprouting, monkey patching, and temporary object reblessing can help break dependencies and make legacy code more testable. Instrumentation with profilers also aids understanding the code.

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).
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

By seamlessly integrating within App Studio, you can now easily streamline your workflow, while gaining direct access to our Connector Catalog of popular applications.
We’ll discuss and demo the benefits of UiPath Apps and connectors including:
Creating a compelling user experience for any software, without the limitations of APIs.
Accelerating the app creation process, saving time and effort
Enjoying high-performance CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations, for
seamless data management.
Speakers:
Russell Alfeche, Technology Leader, RPA at qBotic and UiPath MVP
Charlie Greenberg, host
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

• Learn about PowerShell Drives.
4. WORKSHOP LESSON 2: CMDLET REVIEW
PowerShell Development Workshop 4
Is a single-feature command that manipulates objects in
Windows PowerShell.
You can recognize cmdlets by their name format -- a verb
and noun separated by a dash (-), such as Get-Help, Get-
Process, and Start-Service
Are designed to be used in combination with other cmdlets
"get" cmdlets only retrieve data,
"set" cmdlets only establish or change data,
"format" cmdlets only format data,
"out" cmdlets only direct the output to a specified destination..
Each cmdlet has a help file that you can access by typing:
get-help <cmdlet-name> -detailed
Example: get-help write-host

Examples: scr_useful_cmdlets
9. WORKSHOP LESSON 2: VARIABLES
PowerShell Development Workshop 9
• Types of Variables
• Creating and Using Variables
10. WORKSHOP LESSON 2: VARIABLES
PowerShell Development Workshop 10
User Created – These variables are created in the shell and in scripts and only
persist for the session. We can create variables in scripts with global, script, or
local scope.
Automatic – These variables keep the state of the PowerShell session and can
not be modified directly. The values of this variables change as we execute and
use the PowerShell session.
Preference – These variables store user preferences for PowerShell. These
variables are created by PowerShell when a session is started and are populated
with default values. We can change the values of these variables.
Environment – These variables are the variables set by the system for Command
and PowerShell environments.
11. WORKSHOP LESSON 2:
USER CREATED VARIABLES
PowerShell Development Workshop 11
User Created – These variables are created in the shell and in scripts and only
persist for the session. We can create variables in scripts with global, script, or
local scope.
Examples:
$name = “Bryan” # Declares and assigns a value to an untyped variable.
[int]$amount = 200 # Declares an integer type variable and assigns a value.
12. WORKSHOP LESSON 2:
USER CREATED VARIABLES
PowerShell Development Workshop 12
[string] Fixed-length string of Unicode characters
[char] A Unicode 16-bit character
[byte] An 8-bit unsigned character
[int] 32-bit signed integer
[long] 64-bit signed integer
[bool] Boolean True/False value
[decimal] A 128-bit decimal value
[single] Single-precision 32-bit floating point number
[double] Double-precision 64-bit floating point number
[DateTime] Date and Time

• Blue indicates most
frequently used types.
Examples: scr_variables and scr_declare_variables
13. WORKSHOP LESSON 2: CREATING VARIABLES
PowerShell Development Workshop 13
• Create untyped and assign a value in one statement.
$var1 = “some value”
• Create typed variable and assign value.
[string]$var1 = “some value”
• Create variable with cmdlet. Gives you greater control over properties.
New-Variable -Name var1 -Value "some value" -Scope private
• Assign value with cmdlet.
Set-Variable –Name var1 –Value “some value”
• Remove a variable with cmdlet.
Remove-Variable –Name var1
14. WORKSHOP LESSON 2: ALIASES
PowerShell Development Workshop 14
• An alternate name for a cmdlet, function, or program.
• Used to create shortcuts and easier to remember names for commands.
• PowerShell has a number of predefined aliases.
• Some emulate DOS or Linux commands.
• We can create and maintain our own aliases with the following cmdlets.
• New-Alias – creates a new alias.
• Set-Alias – changes or creates a new alias.
• Get-Alias – gets information about aliases.
• Export-Alias – Saves aliases to csv file.
• Import-Alias – Loads aliases from a csv file. Example: scr_alias.ps1
15. WORKSHOP LESSON 2: PROVIDERS
PowerShell Development Workshop 15
• Allow us to interact with a resource as if it were a physical network drive.
• Built-in providers include:
• Alias
• Variables
• Registry
• FileSystem
• Function
• Certificate
• WSMan
• To see a list of installed providers use the Get-PSProvider cmdlet.
Example: scr_provider_demo.ps1
16. WORKSHOP LESSON 2: POWERSHELL DRIVES
PowerShell Development Workshop 16
• Simulates a network drive mapping but can be to any PowerShell provider.
• Is not limited to drive letters. Can be any name you want.
• Do not persist beyond the PowerShell session unless you use the –Persist parameter.
• Related cmdlets:
• New-PSDrive
• Get-PSDrive
• Remove-PSDrive
Example: scr_psdrives.ps1
