This document describes the operation of a Tesla transformer, which uses primary and secondary coils to generate high voltage pulses. It explains that the primary coil discharges energy into the secondary coil, which transforms the magnetic pulse into an electric wave. This wave is then further magnified as it travels along the Tesla coil due to its high impedance and low capacitance. The electric field gradient sharply increases near the end of the Tesla coil and the terminal sphere, where a high voltage potential is produced for wireless energy transmission or other experiments.

Rikard Edgren - Testing is an Island - A Software Testing DystopiaTEST Huddle
This document summarizes trends in software testing that could diminish its effectiveness and enjoyment. It notes an increasing focus on verification over validation, precise measurement over subjective judgement, and short-term metrics over long-term quality. This narrowing scope risks making testers isolated and limiting their creativity, motivation and ability to consider the full context of a project. The document advocates a holistic and subjective approach that considers people and intangible factors, not just short-term quantifiable results. Subjectivity and considering the whole system, not just parts, are presented as useful for testing.
The AMD Advanced Synchronization Facility (ASF) is an experimental instruction set extension for the AMD64 architecture that would provide new capabilities for efficient synchronization of access to shared data in highly multithreaded applications as well as operating system kernels. ASF provides a means for software to inspect and update multiple shared memory locations atomically without having to rely on locks for mutual exclusion. It is intended to facilitate lock-free programming for highly concurrent shared data structures, allowing more complex and higher performance manipulation of such structures than is practical with traditional techniques based on compare-swap instructions such as CMPXCHG16B. ASF code can also interoperate with lock-based code, or with Software Transactional Memory.
This document discusses different types of energy sources including renewable and non-renewable sources. It describes various renewable energy technologies like solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, tidal and wave energy. It also discusses energy generation from sources like thermal, hydroelectric and nuclear power. The document outlines electricity transmission through overhead lines or underground cables and distribution through transformers. It covers efficiency, energy saving, and environmental impacts of energy generation, transmission and distribution.

The document discusses the militarization of police in the United States. It traces the evolution of police roles from peace officers responsible for civil order to increasingly militarized law enforcement agencies. It describes the expansion of SWAT teams and their use in small towns, as well as programs that provide police with excess military equipment. The document raises concerns that this militarization threatens civil liberties and has turned police into a "para-military" force.
Travis CI is a free continuous integration service for open source projects that automatically runs builds and tests after code commits. It integrates with GitHub and allows customizing builds through a .travis.yml file. This file specifies the language, versions, environment variables, install and test scripts, notifications, and more. Travis CI supports many languages including PHP and runs builds on Linux environments across different versions in parallel. It provides notifications, encryption, browser testing through services like Sauce Labs, and continuous deployment options.
This document outlines European priorities for resource efficiency, including establishing a circular economy with sustainable management of natural resources, climate services, and nature-based solutions. The priorities aim to promote innovation, economic growth, and environmental protection. Key focus areas are transitioning to a circular economy model for waste, water, and raw materials management, building climate services capacity, and integrating nature-based solutions into urban areas. National contact points will support applicants in applying for relevant Horizon 2020 funding.
Energy at Home Trade Support, Centre for Sustainable Energy, Keynsham Sustain...The Future Economy Network
Justin Lee-Gammage from the Centre for Sustainable Energy talks about the Council’s Energy at Home programme and the great opportunities it is providing for local trades to upskill in sustainable construction and to take advantage of the increase in demand for work generated by the scheme.
The document outlines 7 rules for cloud-native development according to Solomon Hykes:
1. Think in terms of services rather than servers
2. Don't reinvent the wheel and leverage existing services
3. Avoid silos and have integrated, cross-functional teams working on products
4. Don't impose unnecessary restrictions that get in the way of developers
5. Start with standardized approaches and only customize later if needed
6. Enable rapid experimentation through a service-oriented architecture
7. Ship code changes daily to maximize speed and productivity
The document discusses opportunities for innovation in the UK agrifood sector. It outlines a £90 million government program from 2010-2014 to support innovative technologies that increase productivity and reduce environmental impact. It identifies challenges around waste, traceability, authenticity, and healthy/sustainable food production. The document also provides examples of companies commercializing new biocontrol and livestock monitoring technologies with support from the program.
The document summarizes an innovation to improve the cleaning of recycled parts using less compressed air. A cross-functional team developed a concept using low volume air knives with ionization and increased exhaust to remove particles without resettling. Prototyping demonstrated success in meeting quality standards while reducing compressed air usage, and the team received three patents for the project.

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:
HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
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
