Mobile World Congress 2019: 6 Key Factors that Will Change the PresentHavas Media
Imagine a horse-drawn cart traveling along a stony track. At this point, we pose three questions. What speed could it be going at? What is the load that it can take? How long might it take to accelerate? Now imagine a large five-lane motorway, full of powerful cars, with almost instantaneous acceleration. Here we again pose the three questions above. The difference in the answers is the essence of the Mobile World Congress.
Havas Village Spain reports back from this year's event and looks at how 5G is going to change the way we understand connectivity and opens up a world of possibilities. Machines will have more autonomy and the challenge will be in seeing how the human-machine combination will lead us to a more sustainable and connected future.

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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

21. Conclusion
With more exhibitors and more CEOs but with less visitors than last year, MWC
remains the world's biggest annual mobile event
MWC is the place to be for big announcements (new products, new
partnerships, new brands, etc)
Mobile players showed how the technology will change consumers life :
Important potential/new business model of 5G
AI focus for the big telco players (also)
Proliferation of IOT use cases (building, utilities, manufacturing, home, etc)
Mobile economy continues to grow (driven by developing countries), and
contribute to economic growth (3,6TN) & direct jobs (11,2M) with a social impact
Brussels-based companies were again satisfied with their presence at the
show (organization, networking, new contacts)
4YFN, maybe a great opportunity to organize
a Brussels startup stand
