The document summarizes election results for leadership positions in the Toiyabe Chapter and constituent groups of the Sierra Club. It reports that David von Seggern led an effort to individually mail ballots that dramatically increased voter turnout, with 587 ballots returned compared to 167 in the previous year. It lists the top 10 candidates elected to the Chapter ExCom and notes the members elected to lead each group. It also previews upcoming articles on the Spring Mountains Acastus Checkerspot butterfly, motorized vs. non-motorized winter recreation in the Sherwin area, and Eastern Sierra issues.

Agile and software engineering in the 21st centuryAgile Lietuva

1. The document discusses how to move past "wimpy" interpretations of agile that focus only on its benefits and not its responsibilities. 2. It argues that agile requires careful management of people, knowledge acquisition, decision-making processes, and team collaboration to be successful. 3. Highlighted agile principles include paying attention to individuals and interactions, continuous learning and knowledge sharing, cooperative teamwork, and adapting processes based on team and situation needs.

Hadoop: Distributed Data ProcessingCloudera, Inc.

Hadoop is a scalable distributed system for storing and processing large datasets across commodity hardware. It consists of HDFS for storage and MapReduce for distributed processing. A large ecosystem of additional tools like Hive, Pig, and HBase has also developed. Hadoop provides significantly lower costs for data storage and analysis compared to traditional systems and is well-suited to unstructured or structured big data. It has seen wide adoption at companies like Yahoo, Facebook, and eBay for applications like log analysis, personalization, and fraud detection.

Load balancing in Distributed SystemsRicha Singh

This document discusses load balancing in distributed systems. It provides definitions of static and dynamic load balancing, compares their approaches, and describes several dynamic load balancing algorithms. Static load balancing assigns tasks at compile time without migration, while dynamic approaches migrate tasks at runtime based on current system state. Dynamic approaches have overhead from migration but better utilize resources. Specific dynamic algorithms discussed include nearest neighbor, random, adaptive contracting with neighbor, and centralized information approaches.

Defending Commoditization: Mapping Gameplays and Strategies to Stay Ahead in ...Cory Foy

One of the goals of agility is to be able to respond rapidly to market change. But do you feel prepared to wake up to a product announcement from Amazon disrupting your entire business? Would you know what steps to take? Instead of being worried, we can get mapping! Wardley Mapping, coined by Simon Wardley, is a way of understanding markets and components in a way that allows us to visualize and anticipate change in markets - and develop strategies and gameplays for how we can respond to them. This session uses several real-world cases of work with organizations to map their landscape and show the strategies and gameplays that allowed them to reshape where they were headed - and allow you to understand your organization��s market and how you can think about features and product direction.

Choosing Between Scrum and Kanban - TriAgile 2015Cory Foy

The document compares and contrasts the Scrum and Kanban frameworks. Scrum is a framework that utilizes roles, artifacts, and events like sprints, stand-ups, and planning. Kanban focuses on visualizing workflow, limiting work-in-process, measuring and managing flow, making policies explicit, and using models for continuous improvement. Both aim to provide structure, frequent feedback, and adapting processes through inspecting outcomes. However, Kanban emphasizes evolutionary change through techniques like limiting work-in-process while Scrum relies more on timeboxed sprints.

SQE Boston - When Code CriesCory Foy

The document discusses the idea that code "cries" when it is difficult to understand and modify. It suggests reframing "code smells" as issues where the code is trying to communicate something but is not being understood. The author argues that software becomes harder to work with over time because developers try to force their own designs rather than letting the code evolve naturally through an iterative process. Developers are encouraged to let go of preconceived designs and diagrams in order to build code in a more organic, timeless way.

When Code CriesCory Foy

This document discusses the importance of listening to code to understand what it is communicating. It recommends deciding to listen, listening for the whole message without personal biases, being patient, curious, and testing your understanding. Other topics covered include katas, koans, adding new features, design principles like SOLID, commonality/variability analysis, and the need for context to truly understand code.

What Makes "Deep Research"? A Dive into AI AgentsZilliz

About this webinar: Unless you live under a rock, you will have heard about OpenAI��s release of Deep Research on Feb 2, 2025. This new product promises to revolutionize how we answer questions requiring the synthesis of large amounts of diverse information. But how does this technology work, and why is Deep Research a noticeable improvement over previous attempts? In this webinar, we will examine the concepts underpinning modern agents using our basic clone, Deep Searcher, as an example. Topics covered: Tool use Structured output Reflection Reasoning models Planning Types of agentic memory

Formal Methods: Whence and Whither? [Martin Fr?nzle Festkolloquium, 2025]Jonathan Bowen

Alan Turing arguably wrote the first paper on formal methods 75 years ago. Since then, there have been claims and counterclaims about formal methods. Tool development has been slow but aided by Moore��s Law with the increasing power of computers. Although formal methods are not widespread in practical usage at a heavyweight level, their influence as crept into software engineering practice to the extent that they are no longer necessarily called formal methods in their use. In addition, in areas where safety and security are important, with the increasing use of computers in such applications, formal methods are a viable way to improve the reliability of such software-based systems. Their use in hardware where a mistake can be very costly is also important. This talk explores the journey of formal methods to the present day and speculates on future directions.

Developer Experience is Dead! Long Live Developer Experience! In this keynote-style session, we��ll take a detailed, granular look at the barriers to productivity developers face today and modern approaches for removing them. 10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ��The Coding War Games.�� Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method, we invent to deliver products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them. But which of these approaches works? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today so we don��t have the same discussion again in a decade?
