C is not a dead programming language, and it should seriously be considered a prime candidate for a new programming language to lean by any who do not already know it. This was my presentation for SpringBeta 2013.
MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) provide free online courses to unlimited participants worldwide. While MOOCs aim to make education accessible to all, they have faced criticism over high dropout rates and concerns about pedagogy. Major MOOC platforms like Coursera, Udacity, and edX offer free certificates but have varying strengths and weaknesses in their course catalogs, formats, and communities. The future of MOOCs and their role in transforming higher education remains unclear.
Tate Modern is Britain's national gallery of international modern art located in London. It holds the national collection of British art from 1500 to the present day and also displays international modern and contemporary art. The gallery forms part of the Tate Group which aims to increase public engagement with art.
Tate Members provides essential support for Tate galleries and helps acquire over 400 artworks. A data segmentation project identified eight member groups based on tenure, visit frequency, and likelihood to lapse. Focusing communications and programs on at-risk but winnable groups and loyal members who could become patrons helped increase retention rates. Looking ahead, Tate Members aims for deeper engagement through enhanced offerings and one-on-one conversations to further support Tate galleries.
Tate Modern is the most important modern art gallery in the United Kingdom located in an old electric power station in London. It has a collection of international modern art from the 1900s to present day, including works from important 20th century artists like Picasso, Warhol, and Dalí. The gallery hosts temporary exhibitions that feature artists and important modern art movements, with free admission to the permanent collection but a charge for special exhibitions.
The document discusses several major museums in London, including the British Museum, Tate Modern Museum, and National History Museum. It provides details about the collections and exhibits at the British Museum, which contains over 7 million objects related to human history and culture. The museum was established in 1753 and welcomes around 6 million visitors annually. The Tate Modern is located in the Bankside Power Station and features international modern art arranged thematically. Both museums offer various facilities and free general admission, though there may be charges for special exhibits.
The Tate Gallery is an art museum in London with the richest collection of British art in the world, consisting of over 60,000 masterpieces across four branches. It is led by Director Nicholas Serota and houses notable transformations like the Tate Modern, formerly an industrial building and now a cultural institution, which opened in 2000. The Tate galleries have free general admission and are accessible by boat, underground rail, and bus.

The document features photographs by Steven M. Cantler of artworks on display at the Tate Modern art museum in London, England. It includes paintings by Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian, Henri Matisse, and Andy Warhol. There are also sculptures by Auguste Rodin and a pentelican marble sculpture. The artworks showcase different styles and eras, from the early 20th century to the late 20th century.
The Tate Modern is located in London and is the most important gallery of modern art in the UK. It has a permanent collection of international modern art from the 20th century, including works by important artists. The document provides details on visiting the Tate Modern, including opening hours, directions by transport, and descriptions of the gallery levels and permanent collection displays focused on themes like surrealism, abstraction, and use of everyday materials in sculpture.
The Tate Modern was established in 2000 and is located in London on the south bank of the River Thames near the Millennium Bridge. It is housed in the former Bankside Power Station and features the large Engine Hall space. The museum focuses on international modern and contemporary art and is part of the Tate group of art museums in the UK along with Tate Britain, Tate Liverpool, and Tate St Ives.
The proposal summarizes a mobile game or experience called "Inspire 2012" that would engage users with the art collection of the Tate Modern museum. It would include both an online website and app to allow users to upload artwork they create inspired by pieces at the museum. This uploaded art could then inspire other users, creating a chain reaction. At the physical museum, iPads would showcase recently uploaded art and a large projection would exhibit a live mosaic of the uploaded works, bringing the digital experience into the real world gallery. The goal is to encourage an "evolution of art" through this community sharing and inspiration.
Tate Modern is a highly successful art gallery located in a converted power station in London. It was designed by renowned architects Herzog & de Meuron and opened in 2000 focusing on international modern and contemporary art. Tate Modern attracts over 5 million visitors annually making it Britain's most visited attraction. It competes with other major London art institutions like the British Museum and National Gallery. Tate Modern has established a strong brand identity focused on creativity, innovation, and being modern.

How to Level Up Your Event - Code for America Brigade TrainingChristopher Whitaker
This document provides tips for organizing successful civic hacking events like hackathons and hack nights. It emphasizes that the primary goals of these events should be community building rather than finished projects. Consistency in scheduling, clear explanations of the work, and leaving time for breakout groups and discussions are important for helping newcomers feel comfortable engaging with the community. Organizers should have a plan for how projects will continue after the event and promote the event through various channels.
Libraries have been places of discovery and learning for a long time, but they are now taking it a step further, thanks to the makerspace movement, by providing an initial spark for ideas that may grow into an intellectual flame down the road. A makerspace is a collaborative learning environment where people of all ages and with common interests (e.g., science, technology, engineering, arts, and math — STEAM) can meet, socialize and/or collaborate while sharing innovative ideas and learning new skills. People can now visit their local library makerspace and gain hands-on experiences with emerging technologies that they probably do not have access to otherwise. Lifelong learning is a vital component for the continued success of libraries and makerspaces are just another aspect helping to make all this happen. In this webinar,
+ Learn how to create a library makerspace on little to no budget.
+ Discover the process/resources used to maintain an engaging makerspace that will thrive for many years.
+ Understand wholeheartedly that the library makerspace is a perfect place to share emerging technologies with patrons, so that they can become well-informed citizens and responsible users of technology.
+ Gain an appreciation as to what other libraries are doing in this new exciting space.
+ Acquire numerous programming ideas to help foster creativity and learning.
+ Survey the emerging technology landscape for new learning prospects to include in your makerspace.
+ Create a growing “Rolodex” of opportunities for partnerships to help boost your makerspace outreach.
Deep Learning has taken the world of Computer Science by storm yet for many of us it remains an elusive sci-fi-like buzzword. After years of feature engineering in Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing, we have finally come to the point where, we can feed raw data to a Neural Network, similar to how our brains work, and expect results that can surprise us in their high accuracy.
This talk is about de-mystifying Deep Learning for developers many of whom could benefit from understanding and using Deep Learning in their day-to-day job. It covers the background and brief theoretical grounds in the first third but shows actual working code and examples in the rest. We will overview convolutional Neural Networks and then cover network design techniques such as pooling, dropout and local connections.
The examples of this talk are in Keras and aimed to build real-world models in the field of Natural Language Processing.

OSINT Black Magic: Listen who whispers your name in the dark!!!Nutan Kumar Panda
Open Source Intelligence is the art of collecting information which is scattered on publicly available sources. With evolution of social media and digital marketplaces a huge amount of information is constantly generated on the Internet (sometimes even without our conscious consent). This is of great concern for organizations and businesses as chances of confidential data floating in the public domain may seriously harm their business integrity. All recent hacks are related to internal source code disclosure, API keys leakage, known vulnerability in third party plugin, data dump leaks etc. Based on experience and robust research in this domain, for this talk the speakers have created a tool which will help all kind of organizations to monitor cyberspace effectively without much investment. This tool is simple but an effective solution which is capable of hearing digital whispers which are usually missed or ignored but shouldn’t be.
This document discusses open source intelligence (OSINT) and a solution for integrating various open source OSINT tools into a single platform. It introduces the presenters and provides an agenda that will cover what OSINT is, why it is useful, examples of recent hacks, challenges organizations face, available solutions, and a demonstration of their integrated platform. The platform aims to make OSINT capabilities more accessible and help detect sensitive information exposed online that could pose security risks. The presentation concludes by thanking contributors to open source projects and welcoming questions.
This document provides guidance on preparing and delivering effective technical presentations. It begins by recommending blogs and resources on presentation skills. It then discusses the importance of understanding the audience and purpose in order to determine the appropriate structure and level of detail. Key recommendations include keeping slides simple with visuals that are easy to understand, engaging the audience with storytelling techniques, and providing additional material for those seeking more information. Technical presentations should be designed to maximize audience attention and recall of the most important messages.
This document discusses multimodal learning analytics (MLA), which examines learning through multiple modalities like video, audio, digital pens, etc. It provides examples of extracting features from these modalities to analyze problem solving, expertise levels, and presentation quality. Key challenges of MLA are integrating different modalities and developing tools to capture real-world learning outside online systems. While current accuracy is limited, MLA is an emerging field that could provide insights beyond traditional learning analytics.
Hackerspaces are community-run spaces where people can gather to work on projects using tools and resources that may not be accessible to individuals. This document discusses what a hackerspace is and provides details about the Post Tenebras Lab hackerspace in Geneva, including the resources and tools available, such as 3D printers, laser cutters, electronics equipment, and more. It explains that the goals of Post Tenebras Lab are to create an open community for creating, sharing, and collaborating, as well as spreading knowledge to others. Typical activities at the space include workshops, classes, and open nights every Tuesday for community members to work on projects together.

“Why isn’t my query using an index?” is a common question people have when tuning SQL.
This talk explores the factors that influence the optimizer’s decision behind this question. It introduces the concepts of blocks and the clustering factor. It discusses how these affect the optimizer's calculations. It goes on to show how these concepts work in practice using real SQL queries.
This session is intended for developers who want to learn how the optimizer works and how to make their SQL run quickly!

Modern software release cycles are getting shorter and shorter. Modern development languages and frameworks enable developers to produce new features faster than ever. With the trend of shorter sprints and a general move towards continuous delivery it is becoming more and more difficult to get everything ready to release without testing becoming a bottleneck.
Existing testing processes cannot keep up with the rapid release pace demanded by more and more companies. So what can we do about this? One approach is to turn your development team into testers, get them to think more like a tester thereby reducing the number of issues that get past the developers IDE. But does this work and how do you go about doing it?
In this session I will explain what we have done to help our developers become testers. I'll talk about the challenges we faced as well as the benefits that it brought for our projects. We'll also look at what impact this had on the developers and more crucially on the testers.

The Agile Manifesto captured the mindset of 17 software delivery thought leaders in how they wanted to deliver software. Since then the agile landscape has exploded with all sorts of different tools, techniques and practices.
In my experience the adoption of agile focuses heavily on implementing the processes, tools and techniques. But, true agility is achieved by the people within the organisation adopting the agile mindset.
This talk is all about the agile journey GoCompare has taken and, more importantly, contains an experience report of developing an agile mindset at all levels of the organisation.

Writing software has been compared to many other professions such as science, engineering, architecture, craft and art. However, while these analogies can be useful, nearly all of them assume that the goal is a finished product. One that might require the odd bit of maintenance and occasional bit of redecoration perhaps, but fundamentally, a more or less static, completed artefact.
Today's networked software ecosystems are complex, dynamic environments. Security updates, changing cloud APIs, new web technologies and mobile operating systems, all contribute to a ever-evolving context that developers have to contend with while creating apps and services. We need a fresh analogy to draw inspiration from.
In this session I propose that writing software should be treated more like gardening and look at the ways this analogy can help when thinking—and perhaps more importantly, talking—about the design, development and maintenance of today's systems.

The trials and tribulations of providing engineering infrastructure TechExeter
The document discusses lessons learned from running engineering infrastructure at Arm. It discusses several key points:
1) Shared infrastructure can lead to compromise and additional effort with no value if used for multiple disciplines. Specialized environments for each discipline are preferred.
2) Automation is critical to avoid inefficiencies from rapid growth outpacing manual processes. Automate where possible.
3) Ubiquitous shared storage breeds laziness and poor data management practices that do not scale. More controlled use of storage is needed.
4) Educating engineers on responsible infrastructure use is important, as not all have expertise in large-scale systems. Partnership and guidance is preferred over being solely "the police".
Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
