Write & Rewrite - 7 deadly sins of communication - part2 of 3Marc Wright
Jim Ylisela and Steve Crescenzo
Back by popular demand (they demanded to come), Write & Rewrite invade this year’s simplysummit with their distinctive look at the Seven Deadly Sins—of Communication. Steve Crescenzo (“Write”) & Jim Ylisela (“Rewrite”) have personally lived all seven deadly sins in their original form (and sometimes in one evening). But in this session they’ll show you how to deliver creative and effective communications by casting aside sloth, envy, greed, pride and, of course, their personal favorites:
• Wrath: Failure to collaborate with those we hate, including the folks from IT, HR and Legal. Find out what can happen when you actually seek out the people you try most to avoid. (And yes, that means you have to talk to them.)
• Gluttony: Employees used to complain about the lack of communication. Now they complain about too much—and they still don’t know what’s going on. Find out what to do when you communicate to excess—and just can’t stop.
• Lust: Are you obsessed with your own words and images, even when your audience has stopped paying attention? Are you sucking up to the bosses, delivering communication that pleases them and no one else? They have expensive clinics for that, but you have Write & Rewrite.
A presentation on the Welfare Association 30th Anniversary Campaign plan. Includes progress in the Brand Development, Events, Exhibition and Field visit Plans.
This paper provides both practical and creative approaches for driving better brand performance. It focuses on the art and science of pricing and the perception it has on consumer decisions.
Many people think minimalism in technical communications means just writing less and eliminating concepts - but it's more about WHERE you put the concepts, and how you help users remember them, that counts!
This is from my presentation to the InfoDev DC Meetup Group and STC Washington DC Chapter on 28 January. Enjoy.

The Evolution of Data Analysis with Hadoop - StampedeCon 2014StampedeCon
At StampedeCon 2014, Tom Wheeler (Cloudera) presented, "The Evolution of Data Analysis with Hadoop."
This session will lead the audience through the evolution of data analysis in Hadoop to illustrate its progression from the original low-level, batch-oriented MapReduce approach to today’s higher-level interactive tools that require very little technical knowledge. We’ll discuss Apache Crunch, Hive, Impala and Solr.
While the nature of this talk is somewhat technical, no prior knowledge of Hadoop or any specific programming language is required. Frequent live demonstrations of the tools discussed will emphasize that analyzing data in Hadoop can be as easy as using a relational database or Internet search engine.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

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.
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.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
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).
