20 Tips for Building a Scalable and Robust Node.js Stack that Developers LovePatrick Steele-Idem
The platform team at eBay recently embarked on a mission to provide a new Node.js-based web development stack that developers would love using. Despite being an entirely new ecosystem to most developers, we wanted to introduce a stack that had a minimal learning curve, performed extremely well and made front-end web development fun again.
We recognized that as web applications grow in complexity it becomes increasingly important to provide a web development stack that shields developers from potential problems and allows for maximum developer productivity. The team decided to rethink some of the industry norms to see how we could simplify the toolchain and make it easier for developers to build an application that interacts with a myriad of complex infrastructure pieces. In addition, we also never lost focus on the requirement that the stack must scale extremely well. In this talk we will share our tips and solutions, including but not limited to:
Avoid build tools and build steps
Be flexible, don't use a restrictive framework
Avoid introducing “magic” and still hide complexity
Expect services to fail and have a backup plan
Minimize developer idle time and provide instant feedback
Automate using scaffolding and command line tools
Organize project files to enforce modularity and best practices
Keep documentation up-to-date and easy to digest
Automatically optimize the delivery of JavaScript and CSS resources
This talk is a must for all web developers who are interested in improving their productivity and building high performance web applications that are easy to maintain.

Lorelle at WordCamp 2008 - 260 Ways to Break WordPressLorelle VanFossen
Lorelle VanFossen speaks at WordCamp 2008 on 260 Ways to Break WordPress - how the WordPress Community is pushing WordPress and breaking it, and how we all benefit from the push to defy limitations in design, PHP, and blogs in general.
Great content is human, refreshing, and relatable—not robotic. But the more users expect content to cross devices and platforms, the more we need to think like our robot friends.
No designer can lay out thousands of pages to make sure every possible permutation of a large responsive site looks right. No Readability editor can review every article someone saves and decide which elements are important. No magical elf can add cross-reference links to every deep layer of content.
Instead, we must rely on systems that automatically determine how content should be assembled, rendered, formatted, and connected. And the more we understand how these systems work, the better we can put them to work at ensuring our content stays lively and lovable, wherever it goes.
Content’s a funny beast: it's both part of our web projects, and outside of them. You need to define your strategy and work with real content during the design process, and also prepare people for all the implications of your decisions: rewriting, reorganizing, archiving, migrating, and a million other tasks that take time, skill, and planning—not to mention all the stuff people will post and change after launch.
But you’re a project manager, not an everything-all-the-time manager. How can you guide all that content work that exists beyond your project’s boundaries without losing sight of your scope? In this talk, you’ll learn how to create a parallel process for content—one where the content decisions made within the design process are vetted against real-world constraints, and where PMs can rally the right people at the right time to keep content on track.

Để thành công trong công việc và cuộc sống, ngoài bản lĩnh, tài năng, sự nhạy cảm và đôi chút may mắn, một yếu tố quan trọng không thể thiếu để đạt đến thành công chính là kỹ năng đàm phán. Một người có kỹ năng đàm phán giỏi phải là người mềm dẻo như ngọn cỏ và cũng phải cứng rắn như một khối đá. Vừa lịch sự lắng nghe song đồng thời cũng phải biết tranh luận, thuyết phục.
Khóa học “Kỹ năng đàm phán & thương lượng” tại Viện MasterSkills sẽ giúp bạn thành công hơn trong việc thu phục lòng người, rút ngắn thời gian, tiết kiệm tiền bạc cũng như khẳng định bản thân và thương hiệu.
Mapping Automotive SPICE: Achieving Higher Maturity & Capability LevelsLuigi Buglione
As usual, when planning to improve a process, an organization needs to compare the current version (‘as-is’) with the new, desired one (‘to-be’). The possible content for such improvement comes from comparisons and mappings with similar processes kept from different sources. In the ICT arena such kind of studies are quite frequent but not always done for covering all models, for instance in the Automotive field. Again, often such comparisons have been done between not directly comparable elements (e.g. any management system standard as ISO 9001 is a requirement model, while maturity models such as CMMI or ISO/IEC 15504 represent process meta-models, with a different aim and contents). The aim of this presentation is to provide a new mapping between AutomotiveSPICE (A-SPICE) and the ISO 9001 norm for the Automotive sector (ISO/TS 16494:2009). This new mapping could be to provide tips for giving contents to ISO clauses but directly from A-SPICE, for more valuable improvement projects.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab 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.

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).
