title: "dexonline – free software or open source philology?"
description: "(talk will be delivered in Romanian) In today's technological world we tend to give a lot of credit to code writing, and also tend to forget that it is just a tool to help us achieve our goals. We all know what a dictionary looks like without the intervention of a computer scientist (we all see a paper dictionary), but have you ever wondered what an online dictionary would look like if it is crafted by the programmers only, without the philologist's contribution? Without the (free, open!) input of science... e.g. mathematics, physics or, to take our case, linguistics/lexicography, let alone open source? We not only want to give credit to anyone involved, but also we are convinced that collaboration between the specialist and the computer scientist (say interdisciplinarity where possible) is essential to the evolution/openness of society, especially the digital one."

description: "Contributing to the Linux kernel can seem daunting for newcomers, but with the right guidance, it becomes an engaging and rewarding journey. Will start first with an overview of how the development process scales for a project with more than 30 millions lines of code which sees around 10.000 patches and more than 2.000 developers working on each release. We will then walk the roadmap of sending a contribution to the Linux kernel from identifying the first line to change, discovering the right tools and then navigating the path until the patch gets merged by Linus Torvalds into mainline tree."

description: "(talk will be delivered in Romanian) In today's technological world we tend to give a lot of credit to code writing, and also tend to forget that it is just a tool to help us achieve our goals. We all know what a dictionary looks like without the intervention of a computer scientist (we all see a paper dictionary), but have you ever wondered what an online dictionary would look like if it is crafted by the programmers only, without the philologist's contribution? Without the (free, open!) input of science... e.g. mathematics, physics or, to take our case, linguistics/lexicography, let alone open source? We not only want to give credit to anyone involved, but also we are convinced that collaboration between the specialist and the computer scientist (say interdisciplinarity where possible) is essential to the evolution/openness of society, especially the digital one."

So this talk is about moving bytes. How to establish a connection so that bytes can move at all, how to upgrade to a direct connection to make sure the bytes are moving quickly, and how to use cryptography to make sure you are moving the right bytes. I will describe the tailscale approach for establishing direct connections, and how we have adapted this to QUIC connections in the iroh-net rust crate. I will also describe how the BLAKE3 hash function enables verified streaming and range requests, and how our iroh-blobs library allows you to use this in demanding use cases. You will leave this talk with knowledge how to establish direct QUIC connections even behind NAT via hole punching, how to use BLAKE3 verified streaming, and hopefully also the desire to try this out."

description: "D is a general purpose programming language which, as the name suggests, strives to be a modern replacement for C/C++. With features inspired by state of the art high-level languages such as Python, Java and Rust, but enabling C/C++-like performance, D is a jack of all trades. Do you want to prototype something rapidly and not care about memory allocations? You can just use the garbage collector and the standard library. Do you now want to evolve your prototype into an end product where performance is important? You can just opt-out of using the GC and use your custom allocation scheme (provided that one of the standard library allocators does not suit you). Is memory safety an issue? You can just enable compile time memory safety checks. Whatever your use case, D has an answer. Not to mention D’s metaprogramming capabilities, which are unmatched in any other language. In this talk, I will present some of D’s cool features and how they apply to specific use cases."
