A New Age of JVM Garbage Collectors (Clojure Conj 2019)
A New Age of JVM Garbage Collectors (Clojure Conj 2019)Alexander Yakushev Some programmers might think that garbage collection is a solved problem. It runs with the VM and takes care of your unused objects – what else would you want? However, the recent spike of interest in new garbage collectors for JVM (Shenandoah, ZGC) and beyond (Go GC) shows that there are still possibilities for improvement. In this talk, we will briefly walk through the history of memory management and discover what the modern GCs can do for you.

Ruby for .NET developers
Ruby for .NET developersMax Titov Ruby is a dynamic, open source programming language that was created in the mid-1990s by Yukihiro Matsumoto. While it shares some similarities with .NET languages like C#, Ruby differs in that everything is an object, it is very flexible and forgiving, and it emphasizes programmer productivity. Ruby utilizes duck typing through modules and mixins rather than interfaces. Popular Ruby frameworks include Ruby on Rails for web development and libraries like Enumerable are implemented through mixins rather than interfaces. The Ruby ecosystem includes tools like RubyGems and testing frameworks like RSpec.

Archeology for Entertainment, or Checking Microsoft Word 1.1a with PVS-StudioAndrey Karpov The document discusses analyzing the source code of Microsoft Word 1.1a from 1990 using the PVS-Studio static analyzer. Some key findings include:
1. An infinite loop was found in a function due to an unsigned variable being decreased indefinitely.
2. A typo led to an array overrun by accessing beyond the bounds of a 5 element array.
3. Several instances of undefined behavior were discovered where variables were modified between uses.
4. Other issues included uninitialized variables, incorrect format strings in printf, and logical errors in conditions.
Despite the age of the code, the analysis revealed several bugs, demonstrating static analysis remains useful on older code bases.

It presents 4 laws: 1) Contributors are a privilege, 2) "No" is an acceptable answer, 3) Responsibility is power, and 4) Communicate a lot. It provides case studies on handling unwanted features and controlling chaos. It emphasizes being respectful to contributors, using forks for experimentation not conflict, and making contributions easy through simple tasks and goals.
Rubinius 1.0 and more!
Rubinius 1.0 and more!evanphx This document discusses various aspects of the Rubinius programming language implementation including:
- Rubinius version 1.0 has been released with improvements to performance, compatibility, and new features like an object space profiler and debugger.
- Benchmark results show Rubinius can be over 100x faster than Ruby 1.8 for some operations due to just-in-time compilation and method inlining. However, comparisons to Java and C implementations still show slower core performance for Ruby code.
- Future releases will focus on continued performance improvements, compatibility fixes, and getting to a full 1.0 release with regular monthly release candidates. Overall expectations are that Rubinius will provide faster execution for most Ruby programs while maintaining
RubyConf 2009
RubyConf 2009evanphx This document discusses the 4 years of development of Rubinius, an implementation of the Ruby programming language. It covers commits and progress each year, including implementing a JIT compiler in year 4 that provides significant performance improvements through techniques like method inlining. Benchmarks show Rubinius is now over 100x faster than Ruby 1.8 for some common operations, though more work remains to optimize core performance and match other implementations for all programs.
Accelerating Ruby with LLVM
Accelerating Ruby with LLVMevanphx Presented at the LLVM developers meeting 2009, shows the Rubinius architecture and how it makes use of LLVM to compile Ruby to machine code.
Ruby World
Ruby Worldevanphx The document discusses applying compiler techniques to Ruby to improve its performance. It describes how Ruby is highly dynamic, which can make it slow. Prior work on Smalltalk, Self and Java showed that compiled code is faster than interpreted code. By profiling a Ruby program's type usage over time, a JIT compiler can optimize the code based on these stable type patterns, such as inlining frequently called methods. Benchmarks show the Ruby implementation using these JIT compilation techniques achieves significant speedups over the standard interpreter.
Rubinius Community - MWRC
Rubinius Community - MWRCevanphx The document discusses the status of the Rubinius project, an implementation of the Ruby programming language using a bytecode virtual machine. It mentions that Rubinius aims to allow writing Ruby code without it feeling like an afterthought. The document also references victories, missteps, questions, and conferences related to Rubinius over time as the project works towards its goal of a Ruby virtual machine.
rubyconf 2007 - Rubinius 1.0
rubyconf 2007 - Rubinius 1.0evanphx Evan Phoenix presented on the progress of the Rubinius project. Some key points:
1) Rubinius uses modern garbage collection techniques that decrease memory usage and increase throughput compared to Ruby 1.8.
2) When forking processes, Rubinius sees little to no change in memory footprint unlike Ruby 1.8 which doubles memory usage on a fork.
3) Rubinius aims to be a Ruby implementation written entirely in Ruby to provide optimizations that benefit all Ruby code through its optimized virtual machine and kernel.

How analogue intelligence complements AI
How analogue intelligence complements AIPaul Rowe
Artificial Intelligence is providing benefits in many areas of work within the heritage sector, from image analysis, to ideas generation, and new research tools. However, it is more critical than ever for people, with analogue intelligence, to ensure the integrity and ethical use of AI. Including real people can improve the use of AI by identifying potential biases, cross-checking results, refining workflows, and providing contextual relevance to AI-driven results.
News about the impact of AI often paints a rosy picture. In practice, there are many potential pitfalls. This presentation discusses these issues and looks at the role of analogue intelligence and analogue interfaces in providing the best results to our audiences. How do we deal with factually incorrect results? How do we get content generated that better reflects the diversity of our communities? What roles are there for physical, in-person experiences in the digital world?

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency.
This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data.
Attendees will learn:
- Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection
- How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations
- Where business preparedness needs improvement
- What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust
This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.
