Copyright © 2017, Singapore Management University Version: 2017-2-5 SMU Classification: Restricted REC SOLAR: STRATEGISING ON A SOLAR COASTER I keep a list on my desk; I have to keep reminding myself, that there are over 450 solar companies that have failed, and gone bankrupt. There’re many stories of companies that have made the wrong technology bet or invested in a technology before it’s time. You have to pick the right technology, at the right time, and it’s a very serious decision because you are, really are betting the company on those decisions. - Steve O’Neil, Chief Executive Officer, REC Solar On a sunny afternoon of May 2017, Steve O’Neil, CEO of REC Solar (REC), a leading company in the solar industry, was attending a meeting in the company’s operational headquarters in Singapore. His hand phone had been vibrating relentlessly and he finally took the call after the meeting had just finished. He was informed that yet another solar company, Solar World, had filed for bankruptcy. Just a few weeks earlier, two renowned solar companies, Suniva and Sun Edison had filed for bankruptcy as well. The solar industry was sailing on choppy seas again. The industry had been in constant turmoil over the past several years due to fluctuating material prices, falling solar panel prices, industry overcapacity, aggressive competition, and demand unpredictability. As O’Neil called it, the industry was truly a “solar coaster”. More than a decade ago in 2005, the shortage of silicon supply had forced many solar companies to close down or opt for consolidations. In 2008, solar companies suffered badly from the aftermath of the global financial crisis. The industry gradually picked up pace in 2013, gaining momentum from rapid customer adoption and new renewable energy programmes. High profitability and growth motivated many companies to expand capacity substantially. But in late 2016, the solar industry began riding the downslope of the “solar coaster” again, as panel prices fell suddenly. 2017 looked a tough year financially for REC. O’Neil and his top management team had to respond quickly to the market changes. Could REC offer a price-cut on products to stay competitive? Could REC diversify their product scope and geographic scope to minimise the market uncertainty? They also needed to examine whether their long-term strategy was still viable for sustaining the competitive advantage in the ever-changing market. Could REC focus on developing advantages in manufactur ...

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf

Paige Cruz

Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack. While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack. I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/ The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this! We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model. Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward. These topics will be covered - Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts - How do CCB and CCX licenses really work? - Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it - Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc - Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing

Aftab Hussain

Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process. In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds. - These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.
