The null concept: a billion-dollar mistake?
His creator, Sir Charles Antony Richard Hoare, says yes! :-)
[...] languages designs is serious scientific
engineering activity. And we should begin to
take responsibility for the mistakes our
users make in the use of our languages.

Highcharts is one the best and most used javascript charting libraries. The library provides a nice API with thousands of settings (options) at many different levels of the chart building. With the presence of that amount of flexibility, the needed javascript code is frequently too complex and painful to write and maintain from Seaside. In addition, when your chart is represented as a plain string, it is hard to use the tools we are used to: search for implementors, senders, reusability of components, etc etc. Furthermore, we also need to check their website all the time to see what each setting does. In this presentation, you will see a Smalltalk wrapper that solves the above issues. This wrapper, which is automatically generated from their API, provide us a much richer way of developing and maintaining charts. Aside from some real-case uses of the tool, this presentation also includes some interesting extensions worth showing.

Eyebrows were raised after Paris-based AI startup Mistral raised €105m with no product, a mere four weeks after launching. While some welcomed the raise as a milestone for European tech, others saw it as sign of AI hype reaching a feverish peak. Their pitch memo focuses on two main selling points:1) that Europe has “yet to see the appearance of a serious contender” in building foundational models, and that Mistral will play a big role in this “major geopolitical issue”, and 2) embracing an open-source approach (unlike OpenAI's “black box” system) will make it easier for companies to build “better, faster” products. The company raised from notable investors including Lightspeed Ventures, French billionaire Xavier Niel and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. See more: bestpitchdeck.com/mistral

What to do when you must monitor the whole infrastructure of the biggest European hosting and cloud provider? How to choose a tool when the most used ones fail to scale to your needs? How to build an Metrics platform to unify, conciliate and replace years of fragmented legacy partial solutions? In this talk we will relate our experience building and maintaining OVH Metrics, the platform used to monitor all OVH infrastructure. We needed to go to places where most monitoring solutions hadn’t gone before, it needed to operate at the scale of the biggest European hosting and cloud providers.

Context: Since human power is an essential resource, the number of contributors in a software development community is one of the health indicators of an open source software (OSS) project. For maintaining and increasing the populations in software development communities, both attract- ing new contributors and retaining existing contributors are important. Goal: Our goal is understanding the current status of projects’ population, especially the different experienced contributors’ composition of the projects. Method: We propose software population pyramids, a graphical illustration of the distribution of various experience groups in a software development community. Results: From the study with OSS projects in GitHub, we found that the shapes of software population pyramids varies depending on the current status of OSS development communities. Conclusions: This paper present a software population pyramid of the distribution of various experience groups in a software community population. Our results can be considered as predictors of the near future of a project.

We are currently experiencing a great moment in computer history: the transition of digital uses from descriptive (web interface, business intelligence…) to prescriptive (chatbots, voice assistant, Recommendation…). This upheaval is brought about by the revival of Artificial Intelligence techniques (machine learning/deep learning) made possible by the explosion of Artificial Intelligence data. As a result, the development profession will also undergo real changes over the next few years in order to meet new market needs. It is therefore interesting to take an interest in these issues today so as not to be caught short in the near future. This information will help you to navigate the world of Artificial Intelligence concepts, engines, and architectures to allow you demistify all the “myths” around it.

This is a classic migration case study (the past, current and the future) at scale from a world-wide company transitioning from Confluent Platform and Confluent Cloud to self-managed Apache Kafka on Kubernetes using Strimzi. At Maersk, we have been architecting, designing and implementing our 3rd generation Event Streaming Platform. This platform is based on Kubernetes in Azure and using Strimzi to operate Apache Kafka at large scale, highly reliable, segregating data based on isolated use cases. Our 2nd generation was based on OnPrem Confluent Platform and Confluent Cloud and this presentation is the story of this migration and reasoning behind it. Furthermore, we would get into details on how we monitor (Grafana, Prometheus), alert (GoAlert and alert as code), operate and provide self-service solutions on top of Strimzi to enable business critical application in Maersk, implemented in GoLang using the GitOps deployment model with Flux and Kustomization among others. Finally, if time allows we will end with a demo of an open-source self service tool to monitor and explore the cluster with most wanted features such as topic message browsing and configuring and restarting connectors.

AI/ML Infra Meetup May. 23, 2024 Organized by Alluxio For more Alluxio Events: https://www.alluxio.io/events/ Speaker: - Junchen Jiang (Assistant Professor of Computer Science, @University of Chicago) Prefill in LLM inference is known to be resource-intensive, especially for long LLM inputs. While better scheduling can mitigate prefill’s impact, it would be fundamentally better to avoid (most of) prefill. This talk introduces our preliminary effort towards drastically minimizing prefill delay for LLM inputs that naturally reuse text chunks, such as in retrieval-augmented generation. While keeping the KV cache of all text chunks in memory is difficult, we show that it is possible to store them on cheaper yet slower storage. By improving the loading process of the reused KV caches, we can still significantly speed up prefill delay while maintaining the same generation quality.

In his book, The Nature of the Physical World, Sir Arthur Eddington commented that “We have to appeal to the one outstanding law — the second law of thermodynamics — to put some sense into the world.” This sense-making goes beyond the physical world, too. Entropy is also essential in the fields of information and communication theory. During this lecture for the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, lecturer Andrea Goulet discussed the application of entropy-related concepts in two communication systems: software and collaborative teams. She examined how concepts that help us understand systemic statistical disorder, such as ergodic systems, Lyapunov exponents, Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, and Shannon-entropy can help us optimize for both software quality and innovation. She also provided several domain-specific models: Lehman’s Laws and Conway’s Law for software, as well as new models from her own research that relate to entropy and innovation. Entropy helps us understand the world and achieve great things. There is an underlying beauty in its principles that we can use to advance scientific discovery. When we understand the subtleties related to balancing surprise and structure, we increase our chances for effective collaboration and finding novel solutions to complex problems.

Scenarios are the central artifact of the Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) process. Although many teams use scenarios and tools like Cucumber or SpecFlow to automate them, in many cases their scenarios contain a lot of details, particularly test data, and therefore they become too complicated to support collaboration with the business. The "essential" principle of scenario writing (scenario formulation) states that only those details should be included in the scenario that are relevant for the outcome. This talk provides help for those who struggle implementing this principle or would be interested to learn how you can create brief and maintainable scenarios.
