Chinese food exploded across America in the early 20th century, rapidly adapting to local tastes while also spreading like wildfire. How was it able to spread so fast? The GY6 is a family of scooter engines that has achieved near total ubiquity in Europe. It is reliable and cheap to manufacture, and it's made in factories across China. How are these factories able to remain afloat? Chinese-American food and the GY6 are both riveting studies in product-market fit, and both are the product of a distributed open source-like development model. What lessons can we learn for open source software?

The document presents various quotes and statistics that question the value of a 4-year college education in the United States due to the rising costs and debt associated with obtaining a degree compared to potential earnings. Several sources note that many recent college graduates work jobs that do not require a degree or are unemployed. It is suggested that a college education may only be worthwhile for those pursuing specialized degrees in fields like medicine or science.

Jessica Ivins: Designing for Gendered Audiences [February 2015]Code & Creativity

Time magazine recently proclaimed that the transgender movement is “the next civil rights frontier.” Are you unsure of what it means to be transgender? You’re not alone. Everyone has a gender identity. Gender influences our customers’ behaviors. It influences the way our customers present themselves to the world. We’re making design decisions for customers whose gender identity affects their lives, both offline and online. Designers have struggled to understand the intersection of gender and design for decades. We often overlook gender or take it for granted. Sometimes we resort to assumptions like women like pink stuff and men like football, but these assumptions rarely help us make an authentic connection with our audience. Meanwhile, a new civil rights movement is disrupting the notion of gender identity. As designers, what do we need to understand about gender identity? How do we design experiences that are inclusive for everyone? The answer, as any UX designer will tell you, is it depends. Gender’s role in the design process varies from project to project. We’ll explore gender identity, what we as designers need to know about gender identity, and why an understanding of gender identity will help us make effective designs even stronger.

There's a lot of talk about blockchain, but how does the technology behind it actually work? For developers, getting some hands-on experience is the fastest way to get familiair with new technologies. So let's build a blockchain, then! In this session, we're going to build one in plain old Java, and have it working in 40 minutes. We'll cover key concepts of a blockchain: transactions, blocks, mining, proof-of-work, and reaching consensus in the blockchain network. After this session, you'll have a better understanding of core aspects of blockchain technology.

What if Virtual Reality glasses could transform your environment into a three-dimensional work of art in realtime in the style of a painting from Van Gogh? One of the many interesting developments in the field of Deep Learning is the so called "Style Transfer". It describes a possibility to create a patchwork (or pastiche) from two images. While one of these images defines the the artistic style of the result picture, the other one is used for extracting the image content. A team from TNG Technology Consulting managed to build an AI showcase using OpenCV and Tensorflow to realize such goggles.

The document summarizes some of the security issues with blockchain technology. It discusses how blockchain is not a "silver bullet" and does not inherently solve problems like privacy and security of smart devices. It outlines various application security issues with complex code, protocols, and difficulty of updates on blockchains. Concerns over data immutability and security of smart contracts are also covered. The document questions whether blockchain truly provides the level of decentralization and anonymity claimed, and outlines some impossibility results and limitations of existing approaches to achieving security and privacy in blockchain systems.

The document provides an overview of the HTTP network protocol in its early stages of development. It summarizes the initial IMP (Interface Message Processor) software used to establish connections and transmit messages over the ARPANET. It outlines some early requirements for host-to-host software to enable simple and advanced use between computer systems. The document also describes the initial host software specifications, including establishing connections, transmitting data efficiently, and implementing error checking between connected systems. This was one of the first documents to define core aspects of the early HTTP network protocol to enable information exchange over the fledgling internet.

Lars Wolff - Performance Testing for DevOps in the Cloud - Codemotion Amsterd...Codemotion

Performance tests are not only an important instrument for understanding a system and its runtime environment. It is also essential in order to check stability and scalability – non-functional requirements that might be decisive for success. But won't my cloud hosting service scale for me as long as I can afford it? Yes, but… It only operates and scales resources. It won't automatically make your system fast, stable and scalable. This talk shows how such and comparable questions can be clarified with performance tests and how DevOps teams benefit from regular test practise.

A key challenge we face at Pacmed is quickly calibrating and deploying our tools for clinical decision support in different hospitals, where data formats may vary greatly. Using Intensive Care Units as a case study, I’ll delve into our scalable Python pipeline, which leverages Pandas’ split-apply-combine approach to perform complex feature engineering and automatic quality checks on large time-varying data, e.g. vital signs. I’ll show how we use the resulting flexible and interpretable dataframes to quickly (re)train our models to predict mortality, discharge, and medical complications.

Dave Farley - Taking Back “Software Engineering” - Codemotion Amsterdam 2019Codemotion

Would you fly in a plane designed by a craftsman or would you prefer your aircraft to be designed by engineers? We are learning that science and empiricism works in software development, maybe now is the time to redefine what “Software Engineering” really means. Software isn't bridge-building, it is not car or aircraft development either, but then neither is Chemical Engineering. Engineering is different in different disciplines. Maybe it is time for us to begin thinking about retrieving the term "Software Engineering" maybe it is time to define what our "Engineering" discipline should be.
