An echidna in the desert grew angry that he only received scraps of food while caring for the children. He uprooted the giant tree that provided shade for all the animals. As he carried the tree away, the animals realized they would die in the hot sun without shade. They threw weapons at the echidna to make him stop, injuring his feet and covering him in spears. The tree fell and its branches stuck in the ground, providing new small trees. The echidna died from his injuries and was buried amongst rocks. To this day, echidnas have spears on their backs and shuffle with bent feet, hunting for ants in the rocks, as the story of how the desert landscape

LF Energy Webinar: Electrical Grid Modelling and Simulation Through PowSyBl -...DanBrown980551
Do you want to learn how to model and simulate an electrical network from scratch in under an hour?
Then welcome to this PowSyBl workshop, hosted by Rte, the French Transmission System Operator (TSO)!
During the webinar, you will discover the PowSyBl ecosystem as well as handle and study an electrical network through an interactive Python notebook.
PowSyBl is an open source project hosted by LF Energy, which offers a comprehensive set of features for electrical grid modelling and simulation. Among other advanced features, PowSyBl provides:
- A fully editable and extendable library for grid component modelling;
- Visualization tools to display your network;
- Grid simulation tools, such as power flows, security analyses (with or without remedial actions) and sensitivity analyses;
The framework is mostly written in Java, with a Python binding so that Python developers can access PowSyBl functionalities as well.
What you will learn during the webinar:
- For beginners: discover PowSyBl's functionalities through a quick general presentation and the notebook, without needing any expert coding skills;
- For advanced developers: master the skills to efficiently apply PowSyBl functionalities to your real-world scenarios.

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!
Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

The echidna and the shade tree (compressed)
1.
2. Away out in the middle of the desert, there
once grew a huge tree.
It was so big, that it shaded the whole land
from the scorching sun.
3. All the animals lived in the shade of this tree.
Each day they would hunt for food, while old
echidna stayed behind. He looked after the
children.
4. Each time, when the animals returned with the
food, they would give the children the tastiest
bits – but poor old Echidna got only the scraps.
5. This made Echidna very angry! He grabbed
hold of that giant shade tree and shook it. He
pulled it. And, with a might tug, tore it right
out of the ground – roots and all.
6. He put the tree on his back and stomped off.
Soon, the animals realized that their shade was
moving and that they would die of thirst in the
hot sun.
7. They chased after Echidna, and begged him to
stop. They begged him to put the tree back.
8. But he just marched on in anger. The animals
threw a boomerang. Surely that would stop
him!
10. But he still shuffled on!
At last , the animals hurled their spears.
11. Echidna howled in pain. Soon, he was
completely covered with spears.
12. The giant tree crashed to the ground. It rolled
over and over across the plain – and its huge
branches broke off and stuck into the ground.
13. Poor echidna lay dying. Soon the animals
began to feel sorry for him. Cockatoo flew up
and asked, “Where would you like to be
buried?”
14. In an antbed? In a clump of spinifex grass? In
between some rocks? Echidna chose the rocks.
When he died, the animals buried him there
and covered him up. Only the spears were
sticking out.
15. To this day, echidnas have spears on their
backs. They still shuffle about on little bent and
broken feet, as they hunt for ants amongst the
rocks.
16. The animals, too, still live in the desert. They
hunt in the shade of the small trees that grew
from the branches of that one giant tree.
17. And they will never die of thirst, because water
filled up the hole left by the shade tree- and
made a huge lake called Nongra.
