create Calagator::Event 1250469356 Portland Ruby Brigade monthly meeting Roll back

description nil → We'll have pizza & beer starting at 6pm, so stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations. # PRESENTATIONS at 7pm ### # After presentations we'll have more socializing time. # Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month! # ARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 29th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 29th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking. <em>ABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade, also known as pdxruby and pdx.rb, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland, Oregon area. The group welcomes all programmers interested in the language and its implementations, tools, libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails. The group has been meeting since August 2002 for presentations, demos and discussions. Every month 35-75 people come together to share their knowledge, projects and enthusiasm for Ruby. If you'd like to present or have a topic you'd like discussed, please post to the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/pdxruby">mailing list</a>. The group usually meets on the first Tuesday of the month, "Ruby Tuesday" -- see you there! </em>

This will be an extremely free-form meeting as we'll need to adapt to what you all bring to it. Have some code you'd like some help with? Bring it. Have some burning questions that have been hard to find just by Googling? Bring 'em! Have some really cool tips you think would help other developers, but you've never really found the right platform from which to share them? This is it! Bring 'em!</p> <p> Show up at 6 for some pre-meeting chatting/networking. Meeting starts at 6:30. We usually wrap up around 8-8:30 and head to Bunk Bar for post-meeting beers.</p> <p> See you there!</p>

create Calagator::Event 1250469351 Galois tech talk: Designing a practical dependently typed language Roll back

description nil → <b>abstract:</b> The last decade has seen many success stories for verified programming with dependent types, including the CompCert verified C compiler, verified libraries for concurrency and security, and machine-checked proofs of results like the four color theorem and the Feit-Thompson theorem. Despite these successes, dependently typed languages are rarely used for day-to-day programming tasks. In this talk, I’ll describe several limitations of modern dependently-typed languages that are holding them back from wider adoption for practical programming. I’ll explain the historical and mathematical reasons for these limitations, and describe how we attempted to relax them in the design of the Zombie research language. <b>bio:</b> Chris Casinghino is a Senior Member of the Technical Staff at Draper Laboratory, where he develops static analysis tools in Haskell. In 2014, he completed a PhD in the programming languages group at The University of Pennsylvania. His doctoral research focused on dependently typed programming languages, exploring both their semantics and how to use them to write better programs.

description We'll have pizza & beer starting at 6pm, so stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations. # PRESENTATIONS at 7pm ### Brent Miller A talk about how New Relic does architecture. Not about our architecture itself, but about our process. ### Jason Clark - Peeking into Ruby: Tracing Running Code Your Ruby app is in production, but something isn’t quite right. It worked locally, it passed CI… why’s the running app acting weird? If this sounds familiar, you’re in luck. Multiple tools exist for grappling with a running Ruby app. This talk will introduce a variety of tools and techniques for peeking into what your Ruby app is doing. From Ruby-level method tracing using rbtrace, all the way down to watching kernel syscalls with strace, you can see what your app is doing, and I’ll show you how. Don’t let your production system go unwatched! # After presentations we'll have more socializing time. # Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month! # ARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 29th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 29th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking. <em>ABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade, also known as pdxruby and pdx.rb, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland, Oregon area. The group welcomes all programmers interested in the language and its implementations, tools, libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails. The group has been meeting since August 2002 for presentations, demos and discussions. Every month 35-75 people come together to share their knowledge, projects and enthusiasm for Ruby. If you'd like to present or have a topic you'd like discussed, please post to the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/pdxruby">mailing list</a>. The group usually meets on the first Tuesday of the month, "Ruby Tuesday" -- see you there! </em> → We'll have pizza & beer starting at 6pm, so stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations. # PRESENTATIONS at 7pm ### Brent Miller - How does New Relic build software? A biological approach to architecture When building resilient, fault-tolerant, scalable systems, we focus quite a bit on the particular technologies involved. Can it scale horizontally? Is Samza better than Storm? Is this library thread-safe? It turns out that, even though those questions matter to the stability of the system, they don’t matter as much as the people building the system. Humans choose the stack, write the code, and write the bugs, too. They create the weird edge cases that cause the system to fall over at the worst time. At New Relic we’ve taken an unusual approach to building software: we draw heavily from biological metaphors like mutation and natural selection, and focus on a human-centric approach to define our architecture. Rather than trust a few armchair architects to make the decisions, we put the power in the hands of the teams wrestling with the code. We have many strategies to ensure cohesiveness across the architecture and scalability for the business, the engineering organization, and the software, but it takes a little leap of faith and a lot of trust to move to a process like ours. I’ll share how our process works, and how we manage the growth without going off the rails, while increasing system stability ### Jason Clark - Peeking into Ruby: Tracing Running Code Your Ruby app is in production, but something isn’t quite right.

description nil → <p><b>RailsLearners Study Group: Rails Night</b></p> <p><i>Currently we are going through 3 short tutorials building 3 Apps; a blog, a pinterest clone and an evernote clone.</i></p> <p><i><a href="https://www.skillshare.com/classes/technology/Ruby-on-Rails-in-3-Weeks-Build-Evernote-Pinterest-and-Wordpress/1493287244"></a><a href="https://www.skillshare.com/classes/technology/Ruby-on-Rails-in-3-Weeks-Build-Evernote-Pinterest-and-Wordpress/1493287244" class="linkified">https://www.skillshare.com/classes/technology/Ruby-on-Rails-in-3-Weeks-Build-Evernote-Pinterest-and-Wordpress/1493287244</a></i></p> <p>For this week Finish the Evernote App. Videos 26 - 33 </p> <p>Keep pushing to finish these as fast as you can! <br>It's not about absorbing it right now, it's about repetition. </p> <p>____________________________________________________ </p> <p><b>We meet Bi-Weekly, Wednesday, 6:30-9:00 pm.</b></p> <p>Everyone is welcome but women and awesome people are especially encouraged to attend. <br>____________________________________________________ </p> <p><i>RailsLearners LAB!  <br>An additional study lab for those who want additional group time. You can talk about your challenges, work through problems, and discuss your code an mob program together.</i> </p> <p>Led by Kang-Kyu and/or Jen Diamond. <br>____________________________________________________</p> <p><i>The Parallel Project will be continuing on another night to be determined soon.</i></p> <p><i>***The Parallel Project*** Currently we are building an ecommerce WebApp from scratch, step-by-step. We are not using a tutorial. We are diving into each piece as we need it in an Agile fashion. We are building our first WebApp as a team -- working individually, all in parallel. </i></p> <p><i>Each week we discuss the step we have just taken and decide what to do next. This way we can be sure that everyone is on the same page, that we are really learning what we have set out to learn and that newcomers can catch up with us.</i></p> <p><i>As a group, we are designing a WebApp which we each individually build on our local machines. Each week we will decide on an incremental step, have the week to build it on our own, share our progress, and then we come together to discuss how we accomplished our task. This way, we each have the hands-on experience of building each piece of a WebApp. We ask questions of others who are building the same thing, learn from each others' methods, and discuss how we accomplished our goals.</i></p> <p><i>=======================================</i></p> <p><i>This is the **SAME Meetup**</i> as: <br>  • Los Angeles Women's Ruby on Rails Group:<a href="http://www.meetup.com/Los-Angeles-Womens-Ruby-on-Rails-Group/"> <br>www.meetup.com/Los-Angeles-Womens-Ruby-on-Rails-Group/</a>*<i>Women and men*</i> please all attend! <br>  • The LA Ruby, East-Side Study Group: <br>   <a href="http://www.meetup.com/laruby/events/221924014/">www.meetup.com/laruby/events/[masked]/</a></p> <p><i>Please be kind, considerate and respectful. We are here to study together, and encourage a learning environment conducive to all learning types, experience levels, and ages.</i></p> <p><i>If you are brand new to Ruby on Rails, don't feel intimidated, everyone has to start somewhere. We will help you get up to speed if you are willing to put in the time. There are a lot of great tutorials to get you up and rolling even if you've never programmed before. Our current project assumes some MVC / Rails background, but we have successfully brought people up to speed to join the group. </i></p> <p><i>For Beginners:</i> We love having beginners join us!  Please attend to get a sense of our group, and we will have a set of tutorial waiting for you, to bring you up to speed to join our project.  MANY of our group-members started with RailsLearners knowing nothing, and are now developing along with the team.</p> <p><i>=======================================</i></p> <p><i>Our Meetup consists of 3 associated Meetup Groups:</i></p> <p><i>Rails Learners (our primary group): Working on The Parallel Project, meets weekly.</i></p> <p><i>Rails Learners Lab: A bi-weekly “lab” to complement Rails Learner. <br>  • Come when you are stuck on your weekly assignment</i></p> <p><i>WebApp-Builders: A full-stack focused Meetup group, designed for more advanced WebApp developers.<a href="http://www.meetup.com/WebApp-Builders"></a><a href="http://www.meetup.com/WebApp-Builders" class="linkified">http://www.meetup.com/WebApp-Builders</a></i></p> <p><i>=======================================</i></p> <p><i>Organizers:</i></p> <p><i>Jen Diamond thejendiamond @ gmail[masked]</i></p> <p><i>Kobi Levy [masked][masked]</i></p> <p><i>KangKyu Lee [masked]</i></p> <p><i>Kalisa Falzone</i></p> <p><i>=======================================</i></p> <p><i>*  Please come to learn.  This is not an environment to pitch business ideas.</i></p> <p><i>** Please no recruiters.</i></p>
