Typically the mapping between the abstract data and ele ments on the screen is implicit in the code: take some piece of the data \, do X here\, do Y there\; when the user clicks on that thing\, modify the page here\, and so on. \;\nReasoning about such code is difficult : either control is inverted across many different callbacks with comple cted concerns\, or one must endure a great deal of ceremony with models\ , controllers\, view models\, and views/templates to structure an applic ation. Ideally when we build a web application all we should have to do is describe how our application's data should be represented on the DOM. We shouldn't need to worry about callbacks\, twiddling the attributes o f particular elements\, or updating cached state.As it turns out\, Cloju reScript's rich data structures and semantics allows us to easily write such simple\, declarative code. I will discuss these ideas using example s from visualization-rich dashboard applications.Recommended reading:C2: http://keminglabs.com/c2/Knockout.js: http://knockoutjs.com/Rich Hickey 's talk on the benefits of immutability: http://www.infoq.com/presentati ons/Are-We-There-Yet-Rich-Hickey\n\nTags: meetup:group=clojerks\, meetup :event=67939192\, functional programming\, clojure\n\nImported from: htt p://calagator.org/events/1250462444 URL:http://www.meetup.com/clojerks/events/67939192/ SUMMARY:clojerks: Data-driven web applications in ClojureScript LOCATION:Simple: 1615 SE 3rd Ave\, Suite 200\, Portland OR 97214 US SEQUENCE:3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120713T011708Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120718T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120718T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120713T011708Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120713T011708Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250462587 DESCRIPTION:Dan from Lucky Sort will tell us about how they use Clojure a nd their experience using it for serious Java interop.

With the discovery of the gamma test\, there is now a mean squar ed error estimator that is applicable to the nonparametric case. This al lows true statistical reasoning for functional relationships\, even when nothing is known about the algebraic form of the relationship. The gamm a test is available in R. It will revolutionize the discovery of causal relationships in data. \;\n \;\nWayne Haythorn recently retired f rom a 30 year career in software design\, during which he worked for org anizations including NASA\, the European Space Agency\, National Weather Service\, NOAA\, Linsoft (Sweden)\, and Modern Terminals (Hong Kong).

After the in troduction\, we will discuss H2O\, a scalable open source machine learni ng library. H2O has APIs in R\, Python\, Scala and Java\, and the focus of this talk will be the `h2o` and `h2oEnsemble` R packages. All of H2O' s algorithm implementations are distributed\, which allows the software to scale to big data. H2O can be used to speed up machine learning probl ems on your laptop (as a local multicore cluster)\, or it can be used in a multi-node cluster setting (for example\, on Amazon EC2). H2O current ly features distributed implementations of GLM\, GBM\, Random Forest and Deep Neural Nets. H2O.ai\, the company behind H2O\, is based in Mountai n View\, CA and has a scientific advisory council comprised of very well known contributors to machine learning community: Trevor Hastie\, Rob T ibshirani and Stephen Boyd\, all from Stanford University. \;\n \; \n \;\nSpeaker Bio: \;\n \;\nErin is a Statistician and Machine Learning Scientist at H2O.ai\, and the author of several R packages.

This is our step towards reducing the gen der imbalance in the industry and addressing the current negative effect s of that imbalance on women. \;\n \;\nTrans and non-binary people are always welcome at our events.\n\nImported from: http://calagator.or g/events/1250471426 URL:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pdx-women-in-tech-pdxwit-happy-hour-netw orking-event-tickets-31788356831 SUMMARY:PDX Women in Tech (PDXWIT) Happy Hour Networking Event LOCATION:Simple: 1615 SE 3rd Ave\, Suite 200\, Portland OR 97214 US SEQUENCE:5 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170318T010747Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170506T140000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170506T100000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170318T010747Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170318T010747Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250471624 DESCRIPTION:[PLIBMTTBHGATY](http://plibmttbhgaty.com/) is a lightly-struc tured party where people get together and work on a project in a new pro gramming language\, either with or just near each other.\n\nTags: coding \, programming\, programming languages\, functional programming\, plibmt tbhgaty\, party\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250471624 URL:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/plibmttbhgaty-tickets-32969997149 SUMMARY:Programming Languages I've Been Meaning To Try But Haven't Gotten Around To Yet LOCATION:Simple: 1615 SE 3rd Ave\, Suite 200\, Portland OR 97214 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170517T014447Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170523T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170523T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170517T014447Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170517T014447Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250471928 DESCRIPTION:Join us for Safety First PDX's Spring 2017 workshop on Codes of Conduct. Whether you're looking for a primer or a refresher\, Codes o f Conduct play a key role in diversity and inclusion\, particularly when it comes to the tech community. \;\n \;\nThe workshop will cover: \;\n* What a Code of Conduct is and why we need it \;\n* Examples of common problems that you'll have to deal with \;\n* Incident repo rt handling and practice \;\n* Strategies for responding and resolvin g problems effectively \;\n \;\nSafety First PDX is a Stumptown Sy ndicate program promoting community safety and accountability in PDX tec h and beyond. Safety First is led by Audrey Eschright\, co-author of the Citizen Code of Conduct (in use by Open Source Bridge and various other communities). Audrey has five years of experience on code of conduct im plementation and enforcement for open source projects and events and spe nt ten years organizing tech community spaces\, including user groups\, open source projects\, and conferences.\n\nTags: safety first\n\nImporte d from: http://calagator.org/events/1250471928 URL:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/safety-firsts-code-of-conduct-workshop-f or-the-tech-community-may-2017-tickets-34561910605?aff=es2 SUMMARY:Safety First's Code of Conduct Workshop for the Tech Community (M ay 2017) LOCATION:Simple: 1615 SE 3rd Ave\, Suite 200\, Portland OR 97214 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170803T010239Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170815T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170815T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170803T010239Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20170803T010239Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250472319 DESCRIPTION:Hi campers!

It must be\, because we keep getting hacked. O ne aspect that makes it so difficult is the level of complexity that exi sts in even a modestly-sized digital infrastructure. Humans can consider only so many security relationships\, trust boundaries\, and attack sce narios at once. This complexity makes it hard to decide where to focus o ur defensive resources and we're regularly led astray by the latest shin y tool or security advisory. Remarkably\, our adversaries actually have a similar challenge: once a digital intruder gains a foothold in an envi ronment that is completely new to them\, how do they know what next step s they should take to efficiently achieve their goal? The environments t hey attack are not only complex\, they are also unexplored landscapes th at must be mapped out. \;\n \;\nThis is where graph theory can len d a hand. Several open source tools\, such as BloodHound and Infection M onkey\, provide intruders (whether that be your friendly neighborhood pe ntester or your adversaries) with easy ways to map out infrastructures a nd identify the quickest path to your crown jewels. While this is certai nly alarming\, we can also use these tools ourselves to find out what ou r infrastructures look like in the eyes of an attacker. \;\n \;\nI n this talk\, Tim will provide a brief introduction to graph theory\, sh ow some demos of the free tools that use it\, and discuss how he is usin g these techniques to build automated threat models "\;at scale" \; to make defenders' lives easier. \;\n \;\nSpeaker: Timothy Morg an \;\n \;\nAfter earning his computer science degrees (B.S.\, Har vey Mudd College and M.S.\, Northeastern University) and spending a shor t time as a software developer\, Tim began his career in application sec urity and vulnerability research. In his work as a consultant over the p ast 14 years\, Tim has led projects as varied as application pentests\, incident response\, digital forensics\, secure software development trai ning\, phishing exercises\, and breach simulations. Tim has also present ed his independent research on Windows registry forensics\, XML external entities attacks\, web application timing attacks\, and practical appli cation cryptanalysis at conferences such as DFRWS\, OWASP's AppSec USA\, BSidesPDX\, and BlackHat USA. \;\n \;\nFor the past three years T im has been building an innovative new risk-based vulnerability manageme nt product (DeepSurface) that helps his customers gain a much deeper und erstanding of the complex relationships present in their digital infrast ructures.
