Advanced Techniques for Testing Responsive Apps and Sites -- By Aakrit PrasadApplitools
** Full webinar recording: https://youtu.be/Y2MHNnWOznQ **
Responsive web design has become the preferred approach for building sites and apps that provide an optimal viewing and interaction experience on any phone, tablet, desktop or wearable device.
However, automatically testing these responsive sites and apps can be quite a challenge, due to the need to cover all supported layouts, their respective navigation, and visible content.
This presentation is part of an hands-on advanced hands-on session (https://youtu.be/Y2MHNnWOznQ) about how to effectively test apps and sites with responsive design -- and teaches you how to:
* Implement generic tests that work for all the layouts of your app
* Control the browser and viewport size in order to accurately target layout transition points
* Incorporate layout-specific assertions in your tests
* Effectively design responsive page objects
* Visually validate the correctness of your app’s layout
* Bonus: tips for planning and executing responsive website testing

Stephen Se, Senior Research Manager at FLIR Systems, presents the “Deep Learning for Manufacturing Inspection: Case Studies” tutorial at the September 2020 Embedded Vision Summit.
Deep learning has revolutionized artificial intelligence and has been shown to provide the best solutions to many problems in computer vision, image classification, speech recognition and natural language processing. See presents highlights from our experience in deep learning machine vision applications such as manufacturing inspection, defect detection and classification.
Deep learning has gained significant attention in the machine vision industry because it does not require the complex algorithm development required for traditional rule-based image processing techniques. Se covers the deep learning workflow from data collection to training and deployment, including transfer learning. Se also presents a few case studies from manufacturing inspection applications.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
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.
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).

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).

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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

3. Introduction: Mouse Zoom
Available in many applications:
Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, ArcMap, Photoshop...
Default setting:
• “Push” forward
• “Pull” back

4. Introduction: Virtual Globes
• Streaming satellite imagery in 3D
• Zoomable User Interface ZUI
information navigation best supported by
natural and geographic ways of thinking*
*Perlin & Fox 1993 4
8. Motivation
• Increasing popularity of virtual globes
• Main ZUI navigation problem: users may
get “lost” while zooming*
• Need to provide intuitive tools for a
usable interface
Compare the usability of two zoom
configurations.
*Buring, et al 2006 6
9. Methodology
Hypothesis
Despite the fact that most software shares
the same default setting for mouse
zooming, users will be able to adjust to
the default configuration without a
marked decrease in usability.

19. Results
• Two users noticed the change immediately
• One vocalized frustration throughout task
with reverse setting
• One user reported that the reverse setting
was more difficult
• No one reported the reverse setting was
less enjoyable
15
20. Conclusion
Must reject hypothesis:
• Increase in errors was greater than 10%
for the majority of users; not learnable!
• Reported and observed decrease in
enjoyment; not enjoyable!
• Questions raised about efficiency, more
zooms
Ultimately, the reverse setting seems to have
lower usability. 16
21. Recommendation
• Some users not affected by reverse setting
• Using the scroll wheel instead of double-
click was very difficult for some users
• We recommend that virtual globe
interfaces offer a range of zooming
methods and allow users to adjust the
configurations
