"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
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).

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.

35. Expansion of the determinant along the first row gives an equation of the form
ay + bx 2 + cx + d = 0 that can be solved for y = Ax 2 + Bx + C. If the coordinates of any
one of the three given points ( x1 , y1 ), ( x2 , y2 ), ( x3 , y3 ) are substituted in the first row, then
the determinant has two identical rows and therefore vanishes.

−2 y + 4 x 2 − 12 x + 14 = 0 .
Hence y = 2 x 2 − 6 x + 7 is the parabola that interpolates the three given points.
37. Expansion of the determinant along the first row gives an equation of the form
a( x 2 + y 2 ) + bx + cy + d = 0, and we get the desired form of the equation of a circle upon
division by a. If the coordinates of any one of the three given points ( x1 , y1 ), ( x2 , y2 ), and
( x3 , y3 ) are substituted in the first row, then the determinant has two identical rows and
therefore vanishes.

= 200( x 2 + y 2 ) + 1200 x − 1600 y − 15000 = 0.
Division by 200 and completion of squares gives ( x + 3)2 + ( y − 4)2 = 100, so the circle has
center (–3, 4) and radius 10.
39. Expansion of the determinant along the first row gives an equation of the form
ax 2 + bxy + cy 2 + d = 0, which can be written in the central conic form
Ax 2 + Bxy + Cy 2 = 1 upon division by –d. If the coordinates of any one of the three given
points ( x1 , y1 ), ( x2 , y2 ), and ( x3 , y3 ) are substituted in the first row, then the determinant
has two identical rows and therefore vanishes.
