Dave Pflieger | Disturbing DisappearancesDave Pflieger
Over the past few months, there have been several unexplained disappearances in the small town of Oakdale. People have vanished without a trace, leaving behind confused families and friends with no clues. Local police are struggling to find any leads in these mysterious cases and are asking anyone with information to come forward as they work to determine what is happening.
Honda has developed a new personal jet. The jet can carry up to five people and has a range of over 1,000 nautical miles. It is powered by twin turbofan engines and has a top speed of around 300 knots.

Virgin America Expands Fleet with 10 New Efficient AircraftDave Pflieger
As it continues to expand its operations, Virgin America remains committed to sustainability. When the time came to purchase new aircraft, the airline signed a contract for 10 Airbus A321neo airplanes, which operate up to 20 percent more efficiently than the current Virgin fleet and use significantly less fuel than other single-aisle aircraft. The 10 new aircraft will join the permanent Virgin fleet starting in the first quarter of 2017.
David (Dave) Pflieger has over two decades of experience in the aviation industry and formerly worked for airlines such as Delta Air Lines, Virgin America, Fiji Airways, Silver Airways, and Hawaii Island Air. While in Fiji, David Pflieger led the country’s national airline to strongly support the Mamanuca Environmental Society (MES) which worked with local community stakeholders to protect the environment and promote environmental conservation efforts, such as the Reef Check Surveys program.
The document provides tips for enjoying Honolulu on a budget by outlining affordable options for transportation, lodging, sightseeing, and dining. It recommends looking for package deals combining flights, hotels, and car rentals; using Island Air for inter-island travel; staying at Aqua Resort hotels, Airbnbs to live like a local, or comparing prices on TripAdvisor; and using affordable options like bike rentals, public transit, or car rentals to get around the city and island. Popular yet inexpensive activities and sights mentioned include Manoa Falls hike, ‘Iolani Palace tours, and Diamond Head crater walk. Casual dining recommendations include Duke's Waikiki for tropical drinks and meals, Halei

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
