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!
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige 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:

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.

6. Working of Surface Miner
The milling drum is
mechanically driven by the
direct drive system through
transmission (V-belts)
directly via a mechanical
clutch on the flywheel side
of the diesel engine.
A Gear box provided in
between Cutting drum and
Transmission will suitably
reduce the RPM of the
drum.
There is also a Power Take Off Gear / Split Gear connected to other end of the engine
through universal joint which transmits power for driving four Hydraulic pumps one
each for Advance drive, Rising & lowering of Cylinders, Conveyor
operation, Water/Fan pump.
7. Cutting Performance
Properties of rock affecting the cutting performance are:
• Uniaxial compressive strength [MPa] and tensile strength [MPa]
• Abrasivity
• Structure of the rock (i.e. number and distance and direction of fractures)
Machine parameters affecting the cutting performance are:
• Type of cutting tool
• Type of cutting tool holder
• Number of cutting tools on the drum (spacing)
• Angle of attack of the tools
• Rotation speed of cutting drum
• Cutting depth
• Advance speed of the machine
8. Operating Mode
Harvesting mode – slice method
In the harvesting mode, the Surface Miner operates on an even field and
continuously cuts the material. The cutting process can thus be continued also during
driving a curve with the machine.
The mining area is developed by cutting slice by slice. For each slice the cutting depth
only needs to be set once on the Surface Miner.
9. Operating Mode
Block operation with ramp cutting
While cutting the block down to its planned level, the Surface Miner also cuts its own
ramp. After completing the cut of the first block, the next block can be started adjacent to
the first one.
Since turning on narrow benches is difficult and time consuming, two alternative
operations can be recommended:
a. Turning the machine on an appropriate area outside the ramp
b. Reverse the machine after finishing one cut and reposition the Surface Miner at the
adjacent cut.
10. Operation of Surface Miner
Surface miner is crawler-mounted machine having a cutting drum located b/w two sets
of crawlers and positioned at the centre of the machine. The drum is lowered and raised
by hydraulic system with powerful hydraulic motors thereby varying the depth of cut.
The material cut is loaded onto the primary and secondary discharge conveyors for
loading the same onto the loading/transporting equipment.
The depth is adjusted through electronically controlled depth regulator located at the
side of the machine which is operated by the co-operator at the floor of the machine.
The rear crawler travel at lower level then the front crawlers to adjust to the required
depth.
Dust suppression is ensured by means of water spray arranged on the cutting
drum, which also serves the dual purpose of cooling of picks, thus prolonging their
useful life.
The operator in the cabin controls the speed, position of the belt conveyor for proper
loading into the tippers. The machine normally loads on to tippers directly by slewing
the belt conveyor. In case of failure of the mechanism of belt conveyor, the machine can
produce coal/mineral by windrowing operation.
11. Applicability
Flat or gently inclined deposit
Best suited for rock compressive strength up to 60 MPa.
Less abrasive rock
Non sticky material
Thin seams or thin dirt bands
Sized material production
Environmentally sensitive areas where blasting is prohibited or restricted.
In general surface miners are capable of cutting rocks of hardness b/w 10-80
MPa. Under certain circumstances (E.g. Highly fractured material) even harder
material can be cut economically.
12. Various Loading Options
LOADING OPTION
DIRECT TRUCK INDIRECT
LOADING LOADING
FRONT LOADING REAR LOADING SIDECASTING WINDROWING
13. Comparison of Loading Options
ADVANTAGE DISADVANTAGE
Direct Loading No re-handling of material Larger working area required for
required truck manoeuvring
Production affected by truck
exchange time
Belt wear
Sidecasting Blending of materials in mine. Restricted to 3-5 cuts wide on each
Stockpile of material in the mine. side of the mine stockpile.
No waiting for trucks. Belt wear.
Material has to be re-handled
independent operation
Material prone to absorb water
when lying on the ground
Windrow No waiting for trucks Large working area required
No belt wear / higher availability Material has to be re-handled
Higher production rates than either by loader or scraper
conveyor loading Material prone to absorb water
Coarser material when lying on the ground
Better selectivity on steep inclined
seams
14. Productivity
The productivity of a Surface Miner depends on the length of the available working
area. Longer cuts will enhance the productivity, because only a smaller amount of time
is spent in manoeuvring from one cut to the next. The forward speed (and therefore
travel time for a given cutting length) furthermore depends from a number of factors:
• cutting depth
• material hardness and structure
• type of machine and installed engine power
15. Benefits of Surface Miner
Material exploitation without drilling & blasting
Drilling and blasting is not necessary
No vibrations
No fly rock
Reduced noise and dust development
Production of small particle sizes directly during the mining process
Primary crushing stage can be omitted
Gentle loading of trucks due to size of the cut material
The material can be conveyed without further crushing
Surface Miner replaces equipment for drilling, blasting, loading and auxiliary
works i.e. secondary blasting
Selective mining
Low investment costs in comparison to the range of equipment necessary for
conventional mining
Low operating costs due to less equipment and less personnel
