WordCamp US: Clean Code
WordCamp US: Clean Codemtoppa We want code that is easy to understand, re-usable, and flexible. But we are always up against deadlines, so we rush, and end up with code that is messy, buggy, hard to maintain, and makes us go slower even though we’re trying to go faster.
What is clean code? In this talk I’ll provide some answers to this question, and introduce you to 10 good habits that will help keep your code clean, such as the use of meaningful names for your variables and functions, and following the “Boy Scout Rule” (leave the code cleaner than you found it). I will even try to persuade you that using a lot of code comments is a sign that there are problems with your code.

Learning to be IDE Free (PrDC 2015)
Learning to be IDE Free (PrDC 2015)David Wesst ◦If you lost Eclipse, could you still produce quality code? If Visual Studio or IntelliJ don't provide you with a specific tool, are you still able to use it comfortably? If you're troubled by these questions, don't worry because you are not the only one! Over the years, developers tend to forget their roots and grow overly comfortable with their IDE. But, it's not the IDE that makes us developers, it's our mad coding skills and software knowledge! In this session David will bring you back to the days where a text editor was just a text editor, and command line was king and go through creating, building, deploying an application without an IDE.

Data analysts create millions of lines of elegant, powerful code every year. However, because software development is not seen as their primary role, best practices of software engineering often fall to the wayside. Many data analysts are self-taught programmers who haven’t been exposed to tools like version control software, unit testing suites, and System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) processes. Popular software engineering concepts such as Don’t Repeat Yourself (DRY), design patterns, and modularization can vastly improve the quality and efficiency of analytics projects. This talk will provide a high-level introduction to these topics, and will focus on providing resources for additional learning.

"Feed Water Heaters in Thermal Power Plants: Types, Working, and Efficiency G...Infopitaara A feed water heater is a device used in power plants to preheat water before it enters the boiler. It plays a critical role in improving the overall efficiency of the power generation process, especially in thermal power plants.
🔧 Function of a Feed Water Heater:
It uses steam extracted from the turbine to preheat the feed water.
This reduces the fuel required to convert water into steam in the boiler.
It supports Regenerative Rankine Cycle, increasing plant efficiency.
🔍 Types of Feed Water Heaters:
Open Feed Water Heater (Direct Contact)
Steam and water come into direct contact.
Mixing occurs, and heat is transferred directly.
Common in low-pressure stages.
Closed Feed Water Heater (Surface Type)
Steam and water are separated by tubes.
Heat is transferred through tube walls.
Common in high-pressure systems.
⚙️ Advantages:
Improves thermal efficiency.
Reduces fuel consumption.
Lowers thermal stress on boiler components.
Minimizes corrosion by removing dissolved gases.

ADVXAI IN MALWARE ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK: BALANCING EXPLAINABILITY WITH SECURITY
ADVXAI IN MALWARE ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK: BALANCING EXPLAINABILITY WITH SECURITYijscai With the increased use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in malware analysis there is also an increased need to
understand the decisions models make when identifying malicious artifacts. Explainable AI (XAI) becomes
the answer to interpreting the decision-making process that AI malware analysis models use to determine
malicious benign samples to gain trust that in a production environment, the system is able to catch
malware. With any cyber innovation brings a new set of challenges and literature soon came out about XAI
as a new attack vector. Adversarial XAI (AdvXAI) is a relatively new concept but with AI applications in
many sectors, it is crucial to quickly respond to the attack surface that it creates. This paper seeks to
conceptualize a theoretical framework focused on addressing AdvXAI in malware analysis in an effort to
balance explainability with security. Following this framework, designing a machine with an AI malware
detection and analysis model will ensure that it can effectively analyze malware, explain how it came to its
decision, and be built securely to avoid adversarial attacks and manipulations. The framework focuses on
choosing malware datasets to train the model, choosing the AI model, choosing an XAI technique,
implementing AdvXAI defensive measures, and continually evaluating the model. This framework will
significantly contribute to automated malware detection and XAI efforts allowing for secure systems that
are resilient to adversarial attacks.
