Women in BEAM: International Women's Day

This video was recorded at Code BEAM SF 2020 - http://bit.ly/2wpn0SM Old ideas made new | Brooklyn Zelenka ABSTRACT Languages and ecosystems are more than simply syntax; they're ways of thinking. They have features, idioms, and community standards that drive us towards certain ways of doing things. Erlang is over 30 years old and has a very mature way of doing things. Elixir came on the scene, bringing with it some new ideas from other ecosystems. We're seeing even more of this with BEAM languages from LFE to Alpaca to Erlog. Ideas come in and out of fashion. Some of them are lost and aren't given a chance again. But as technology continues to evolve, perhaps there's space for what's old to be made new again! This talk will explore a few ideas lost to time that perhaps have their chance to shine again. It asks what languages would look like if history had gone slightly differently, and what depths we can plumb for the next 30 years and 50 languages on the BEAM. • See & download slides: https://codesync.global/speaker/brooklyn-zelenka/ • Follow us on social: Website: www.codesync.global Twitter: www.twitter.com/CodeBEAMio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CodeSyncGlobal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/code-sync/ • Looking for a unique learning experience?

This video was recorded at virtual Code BEAM V America conference, which took place on 10-12th March 2021 - https://codesync.global/conferences/code-beam-v-america-2021/ What Counts as a Programming Language | Chelsea Troy ABSTRACT When we think of programming languages, we think of Java, Kotlin, JavaScript, or Python. We don't think of CSS, SQL, or HTML. And we don't think of Alloy, Modelica, or SNOBOL—in fact, maybe we haven't even heard of all those. But what's the distinction? And maybe most importantly, what can we learn as programmers from "not programming languages"? The talk aims to show folks what we can learn from questioning how we categorize things rather than ignoring things outside our arbitrary categories. It also aims to help folks understand that most "universal truths" aren't as universal as we might be led to believe—and why it matters. • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-beam-v-america-2021/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeBEAMio • Looking for a unique learning experience?

This video was recorded at Code Mesh LDN 19 - http://bit.ly/37xc3Nr AI for Social Responsibility: Embedding Principled Guidelines into AI | Veronica Dahl ABSTRACT In this position talk we briefly retrace the historic and evolutionary context that led to AI's results not necessarily being used first and foremost to benefit the public that funded it, nor to necessarily focus on human values and concerns. Next, we discuss how the AI language Constraint Handling Rules -CHR- can promote social responsibility by making it easy to embed principled guidelines into our systems, and we exemplify this idea within an application to enhance voting and decision-making power. Finally, we examine the very notion of intelligence in the light of the more recent notion of group intelligence and draw consequences on what might be needed to ensure that AI capabilities are put to socially responsible uses only. In particular, we identify what legislations might help place AI at the service of the urgently needed solutions for today's various crises, with the overall aim, as K. Raworth put it, to ""meet the needs of all within the means of the planet"". • See & download slides: https://codesync.global/speaker/veronica-dahl/ • Looking for a unique learning experience?

This video was recorded at Code BEAM SF 19 http://bit.ly/2T3Do0U Designing an Engineering org for SaaS & on-prem Delivery Models | Renee Orser - VP Engineering @ Harbr ABSTRACT NS1 delivers intelligent DNS and traffic management services to many of the highest-trafficked sites and largest global enterprises. It is one of the first infrastructure companies to both deliver software for on-premise and operate a cloud SaaS solution, and its engineering model must span both. In her talk, Renee will speak to the journey the team has taken over the past two years to tackle the systemic complexity presented by multiple deployment mechanisms, from first developing and operating a SaaS DNS platform, to later also releasing versioned software for on-prem usage of their DNS products. She will dive into choices made to balance continuous delivery to one of the largest and most distributed global edge networks against scheduled and reliable release management for their containerized solutions. Renee will explore how the team is progressing on an unified architectural model to ensure resources are allocated efficiently and end users have a singular technology experience. Lastly, she will share how to build a hiring strategy that supports rapid-growth of the diverse skillsets needed to build this model. Audience members will receive creative methods to approach gap analysis and role definitions on their teams, and will learn how to build a roadmap to a highly effective but lean department. • Follow us on social: Website: www.codesync.global Twitter: www.twitter.com/CodeBEAMio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CodeSyncGlobal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/code-sync/ • Looking for a unique learning experience?

Porting Machine Learning capabilities to the IoT device is highly desirable to reduce cloud dependency. Attempts to standardise IoT stacks have not yet gained significant acceptance due to introducing the issues of large incoming data flows, trust, privacy and security, and these are prohibitive for many scenarios. New resilient IoT stacks are necessary to address the problems at the source. That is to enable federated de-centralised solutions, and to maintain accuracy, low computational and power consumption. OBJECTIVE Bounce the idea of the wall and get feedback from the community. Identify other projects working in this domain and explore collaborations.

To ease this difficulty, I combined two unmaintained Elixir string comparison libraries and added preprocessing and a double metaphone algorithm. The result is a comprehensive map of scores for pattern identification and machine learning. This talk will address the pre-processing, algorithms, and scoring as well as the strengths and limitations. A live demonstration of scoring will allow us to identify patterns. We end with a discussion of how to gain further benefits from the scores. OBJECTIVES: To introduce the problem of name disambiguation and string comparison by looking at two existing string comparison libraries before addressing the process of combining them into a single repository. I hope attendees will leave understanding the problem as well as the strengths, limitations, and possibilities of the new library and how it can be used to address the challenges of name disambiguation.

This video was recorded at Code BEAM America 2022 - https://codebeamamerica.com/ Learn you some pattern matching for great good! | Elayne Juten - Software Engineer at Cars.com • Abstract Move if to the bottom of your toolbox. Have you ever looked at a function with numerous conditionals buried within and thought ““there has to be a better way””? Well, there is! It’s pattern matching! This talk will focus on the basics of pattern matching, both how pattern matching works and why we might want to use it to simplify our code structure. First, we will walk through an example of a simple pattern match and take a look at how these concepts can be applied in a larger codebase. Then we will refactor by taking a look at a function that utilizes multiple conditionals and walk through how to implement pattern matching in a step by step process. We’ll also discuss why refactoring to pattern matching can improve codebases. Lastly, we’ll discuss the pros and cons of utilizing pattern matching in different situations you might see in a large codebase. By the end of this talk, you’ll have added pattern matching to your toolbox to wield with confidence. • Talk objectives: Help teach the basics of pattern matching. How to code pattern matching from scratch as well as how to turn multiple conditionals into a pattern matched function head. We’ll also discuss the why. Why this work is important to the health of a codebase as well as some of the pitfalls that pattern matching to the extreme can cause. • Timecodes 00:00 - 03:46 - Intro 02:03 - 09:28 - What makes the BEAM special? 07:16 - 11:10 - :gen_server 11:16 - 26:18 - Language Server Protocol: A quick primer 22:19 - 28:28 - Demo.

✨This talk was recorded at Code BEAM America 2024, a conference by Code Sync https://codebeamamerica.com ✨ Our interconnected world is increasingly reliant on distributed systems of unprecedented scale, serving applications which must share state across the globe. And, despite decades of research, we're still not sure how to program them! In this talk, I'll show how to use ideas from programming languages to make programming at scale easier, without sacrificing performance, correctness, or expressive power in the process. We'll see how slight tweaks to modern imperative programming languages can provably eliminate common errors due to replica consistency or concurrency---with little to no programmer effort.

🌟 This webinar was recorded as part of preparation for Code BEAM America 2024. https://codebeamamerica.com 🌟 Vanessa Lee: An Elixir of Empathy: Using Livebook to Empower & Engage Livebook is an exciting interactive and collaborative code notebook. It offers a rich toolset for engineers to build cross-team empathy by empowering and engaging others as users and consumers of our code and data. Fostering empathy across teams and departments is paramount. This talk will showcase how Livebook can be a tool to empower and engage technical and non-technical collaborators. It can help us provide enhanced troubleshooting and understanding of our software. Livebook lets us easily visualize data, document applications interactively, give users inactive UI elements, and integrate widely from HuggingFace to Nerves to Snowflake. We will explore real-world examples of how Livebook has strengthened cross-team communication and empowered non-technical team members in times of limited engineering resources. Tyler Young: Elixir as a One-Person Stack for Building a Software Startup There’s a lot of excitement in the developer community around the idea of a “one-person” framework—a platform on which to build a software service where a single person can gain enough leverage to build the complete application. In this talk, Tyler will share: How Elixir, Phoenix, and LiveView deliver on this promise for the startup he's building How the benefits of Elixir don’t just stop at the framework level, but expand to be a complete one-person stack The frameworks, libraries, and tools he combines for maximum effectiveness as a solo developer Why he believes Elixir is the best choice for pragmatic software-as-a-service founders About Code BEAM America 2024 7-8 March, San Francisco and Online Code BEAM America is a conference focused on Erlang and Elixir ecosystem, 2 days of talks and networking with other BEAM enthusiasts.

An Elixir for Environmental Health: Empowering environmental recovery with software - Emily deGroot and Tom Collins ✨This talk was recorded at Code BEAM America 2024. If you're curious about our upcoming event, check https://codebebeamamerica.com ✨ The Open Landscape Network is a diverse community of environmentalists and technologists developing information systems for evidence-based recovery of environmental health. The OLN is conceived as a shared yet customizable infrastructure that provides scalable, dependable, and affordable capabilities to help environmental projects collaborate with landholders (spanning European farmers to Indigenous peoples), scientists, funders, business and governments. The R&D process led to Elixir as a potential base on which to develop the system. First trials in Europe (The Netherlands and Spain) in 2019 were successful, but revealed challenges in the model. Refinements are made continuously, and in 2023 the project expanded to Alaska in partnership with an Indigenous tribal government, with future growth planned across the U.S.. This talk summarizes the journey, challenges encountered and solutions adopted. It references features such as Umbrella Apps and open source components.

This talk revisits those early days to explore the ideas that were borrowed from Prolog, the ideas that were forgotten, and the ideas that we may yet revisit in the future. We'll discuss the connections between the earliest implementations of Erlang and modern metaprogramming techniques, how Elixir's pipe operator relates to parsing, and what declarative programming can teach us about distributed shared memory. All of these ideas will come together in an exploration of how the BEAM ecosystem can leverage these techniques today to shape the way we might write code in the future! • Follow us on social: Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeBEAMio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/27159258 • Looking for a unique learning experience?

This video was recorded at Code BEAM Europe 2022 - https://codesync.global/conferences/code-beam-sto-2022/ Burn Your Laurels | Brooklyn Zelenka - Cofounder & CTO at Fission ABSTRACT The BEAM has been tremendously successful for three decades and counting. It underpins a huge number of systems, served as the basis for many successful high profile projects, and seeded interest in the actor model among a huge number of programmers. To all the world, the BEAM is the absolute envy of the industry. And yet our devices and networks are changing substantially for the first time in nearly a generation. We have new building blocks, rapidly evolving theory, and ever-shifting user expectations. Wasm, far edge, the digital commons, and trustless computing are all fundamentally changing the face of the industry. We can’t rest on our laurels: how do we rise to meet these new demands? What replaces processes when location is irrelevant? What even is a supervision tree when you don't trust the children? When is “let it crash” not enough? Can we make changes to the platform that radically simplify code for developers? How do we enable the next generation of LiveView, Nerves, and CouchDB to meet users where they are? This talk will ask hard questions about where we are, where we’re going, and how to have the highest impact. The BEAM is a distributed systems trailblazer; we're riding a ton of momentum, and the ecosystem is a model for communities outside of our own. Let’s not stop here; the world is changing and we need a Cambrian explosion of activity and innovation to keep up with it. Let's move the needle, again! • Timecodes 0:00 Introduction 2:11 Brooklyn Zelenka 5:06 Random Walk 6:44 Let's Go Exploring! 9:19 Good Design Tradeoffs 12:54 Natural Progression 14:25 Evolution of Concerns 21:44 A New Topology 22:48 Evolving Toolbox 27:57 Irreducible Complexity 28:45 Coordination Costs 29:22 Semantics Non-Preservation 31:54 Metastable Mechanism 33:37 Values References Processes 36:04 Pure Parallel 37:26 PIDs for Values & CAS Transactions 43:48 Reading the Universal Dataspace • Follow us on social: Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeBEAMio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/27159258 • Looking for a unique learning experience?

This video was recorded at Code BEAM Europe 2022 - https://codesync.global/conferences/code-beam-sto-2022/ Know your Past to Predict your Future, Time Travel Debugging in Production | Quildreen Motta Ribeiro - Engineer at Klarna ABSTRACT You've just hit a weird corner case in your production system. Looking at the code has proved hopeless. Your system's log has so much information you feel overwhelmed. How do you debug it? And how do you go about understanding all of the implications of this issue? In this talk we'll take the learnings from building specialised time-travelling debuggers for production systems and dive into how they help in these scenarios. Then we'll look into how you'd approach building one for your system, as well as the constraints that they put on your system's design. OBJECTIVES The goal of this presentation is to show people why they'd consider building specialised time-travelling debuggers for their production system, and look at a few approaches to building them, as well as what kind of constraints that puts in their system's design, based on debuggers the author has worked with before. The idea of tracing itself isn't complicated, but it's not always clear what kind of trade-offs you need to make in production: you need to be more conscious of the required time and space overhead (which you can't always avoid, e.g.: when building a protocol parser). And it's not always clear how to correlate and present that data in a way that makes the information useful---most data in traces is noise, and just like looking at logs of modern production systems is useless without heavy filtering and correlation, debug traces for time-travelling need specialised analysis and visualisation tools. AUDIENCE This talk is aimed at engineers that run complex production systems on the BEAM, and would like better tools to understand their system's production behaviour when things go wrong. • Timecodes 00:00 - 01:05 - Agenda 01:06 - 08:44 - Act 1.

✨This talk was recorded at Code BEAM Europe 2023. If you're curious about our upcoming event, check https://codebeameurope.com ✨ Abstract: Observability is about understanding your system – its performance, reasons for actions, inactions, and failures, and the ability to pre-emptively act on various system limitations before they become a problem. The main tools of observability are metrics and logs. To empower developers, rather than introduce overheads and endless useless data, both metrics and logs should be designed into the system, rather than be added on. This is particularly true for large-scale systems. In this talk, I will share my experience and the rules of thumb for working with metrics and logs at scale. I will also cover the theory behind these concepts. Let's keep in touch!

There are women –rarely known– who have had a massive impact in the Erlang & Elixir community. We wouldn’t even be here in this conference if it wasn’t for some of them. Their achievements and stories are known only in small circles because often their protagonists have been humble and discreet. But these heroines have done and are still doing amazing things for our community. It is high time we gave them the recognition they deserve and celebrate their contributions together. Who knows? Maybe this talk will plant the seed of the next generation of Erlang & Elixir role models. More details on website here: https://codesync.global/speaker/miriam-pena/

We’ll start off with a bit of theory around types, starting with some theoretical background around various type systems and making the case for type checking. While motivating type checking, we’ll consider specific scenarios where type checking can add additional assurances in your development process. With a bit of background and motivation in place, we’ll then turn to evaluating Elixir’s type system and how we can use Dialyzer to add type specs and type checking to our Elixir projects.

“...There's so much talk about the system. And so little understanding.” -Robert Pirsig If I were to ask you what is your safety culture, what would that look like? Devops and continuous delivery and the tools that support it can offer us a measure of safety, but only against the things we think might go wrong. The importance of more dialogue on the nature of the relationship of humans and machines becomes apparent as twitter judges the UX of the Hawaii incident, while Equifax thinks email is a patching strategy. Humans are left to solve the problems the machines cannot, and I would like to offer some ideas for moving forward, together. More details here: https://codesync.global/speaker/jessica-devita/

How to ensure that your program cannot fail ? How to ensure that what you're developing will work as expected without unwanted side-effects ? etc. Since then, several approaches were developed; one of them is static type analysis, a methodology which tries to prove that your program is correct based on the mathematical types theory, whose basic assumption is that unless your program can prove it attends it's basic contracts, it is faulty. Considering Erlang is widely known by it's focus on fault-tolerance and, by consequence, guarantees of reliability, there have been several attempts to improve Erlang programs by proving their correctness with type systems but such attempts have failed. This talk proposes to explain what is a type system, why attempts to type strictly Erlang have failed and how the theory of Session Types might prove to be a way to achieve correctness in environments like Erlang's.

As our software gets larger and does more, that complexity resurfaces in new and less obvious ways. As much as the actor model is lauded for being like an organism, organic code can become full of structural complexity. Is there a way to strengthen our code, while retaining its flexibility and making it even clearer to communicate our intent? There is! The decades since, we've developed new techniques and patterns to structure our code. And best of all, we can have them encoded in libraries and modules directly! These techniques are starting to become enshrined in standard libraries of other languages — can they be brought to Elixir? • Follow us on social: Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/CodeBEAMio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/27159258 • Looking for a unique learning experience?

This often leaves out native (desktop or mobile) clients, and as a result, forces duplicative engineering effort. In this session, Evadne shall demonstrate how this problem can be addressed by deconstructing and then recombining various technologies, so as to achieve true application code and tooling reuse between web, desktop and mobile clients, while reducing the chasm between client and server code and enabling teams to adopt new paradigms, such as LiveView, in a rather pervasive manner. • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-beam-sto/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeBEAMio • Looking for a unique learning experience?

This video was recorded at Code BEAM V 2020 - codesync.global/conferences/code-beam-sto/ TLS the OTP way | Ingela Anderton Andin - Software Engineer ABSTRACT TLS-1.3 is a major upgrade of the TLS-1.2 protocol. A lot of legacy is thrown out and new mechanisms will replace old flawed ones. Most of the TLS handshake will be encrypted as opposed to earlier when most of the first handshake was in plain text and encryption started first when sending the final handshake confirmation message. TLS-1.3 also puts new requirements on TLS-1.2 to pave the way for migration. Supervisors, generic behaviours, logger, gb_trees, ets, queue models, maps, try catch, binaries, records how are they used and why. OBJECTIVES Spread good design principles with Erlang/OTP and security knowledge by sharing design decisions, trade-offs and optimisations that we have done implementing TLS (all versions from SSL 3.0 to TLS 1.3 but with the biggest focus on TLS-1.3) in Erlang. TARGET AUDIENCE People interested in using Erlang/OTP to its full potential, and also people interested in TLS-1.3 in particular and security in general. • Follow us on social: Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeBEAMio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/27159258 • Looking for a unique learning experience?

But these are all treated as separate problems, when they might actually be strongly related. What might things look like if we rethought these problems in a more integrated way, powered by Elixir? OBJECTIVE The objective is to provide a brief overview of current application infrastructure and some patterns that can be seen with it, how the different parts are looking at the same problem from a different angle, and how Elixir can be used to bring it all together. While this can be accomplished with most languages, the aim is to highlight how Elixir is suited to a potential solution in this problem space. • Timecodes 00:00 - 02:31 - What is Infrastructure 02:32 - 08:14 - The elephant in the room 08:15 - 10:31 - Complexity 10:32 - 16:58 - Singyeong 16:59 - 27:40 - Mahou 27:41 - 29:10 - Future work 29:11 - 38:43 - QnA • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-beam-v-america-2021/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeBEAMio • Looking for a unique learning experience?

To facilitate this pace of development, I modeled our services using Norm, composed those models using protocols, and then used property testing to verify them against the real services: enabling us to concurrently develop the frontend, backend, and upstream services. I'll explore these patterns through an example application that demonstrates them in action. • Follow us on social: Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeBEAMio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/27159258 • Looking for a unique learning experience?

This video was recorded at Code BEAM V EU 2021 - https://codesync.global/conferences/code-beam-sto-2021/ Compositional protocol engineering for communicating actors | Laura Bocchi & Laura Voinea - Senior Lecturer in Computing at the University of Kent & Research Associate at he University of Kent ABSTRACT In systems of communicating processes or actors, data types can be used to discipline the sorts of sent and received messages. Session types, in addition, can describe specific causalities and patterns among different send/receive actions (like application-level protocols). I will give an overview on recent and ongoing research about writing “good protocols” using session types and session types to yield correct implementations. I will then focus on modular composition of protocols. Real-world communication protocols are often built out of simpler protocols that cater for some specific functionality (e.g., banking, authentication) or operate at different levels of abstraction (e.g., HTTP, POP). However much of the work used for program verification (e.g., session types) treat protocols as monolithic units. I will show an approach to protocol composition, including a tool that extracts models from concurrent Erlang code into a protocol language based on session types, implements an algorithmic notion of protocol composition, and provides code generation from protocols. The purpose is greater modularisation and code reuse. • Timecodes 00:00 - 01:15 - Contents - Laura Bocchi 01:16 - 02:48 - Modeling Behaviour 04:26 - 07:01 - A bad protocol ( in the harsh asynchronous world) 07:02 - 09:21 - Good Protocols 09:22 - 12:29 - Session Types 12:30 - 14:11 - Context 14:12 - 19:52 - Problem 1: Composition 19:52 - 21"47 - Problem 2: Make it easy to (re-)engineer 21:48 - 23:00 - In Summary 23:01 - 31:30 - Demo Overview - Laura Voinea 31:41 - 38:39 - QnA • Follow us on social: Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeBEAMio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/27159258 • Looking for a unique learning experience?

For Kate, it's what won her over to the language. This deceptively powerful paradigm is at the heart of what makes Elixir such a compelling language to program in. It's doing so much more than help you write small, declarative, maintainable functions; it's making you a stronger programmer. This talk covers pattern matching basics, then moves into practical, real world examples for a thorough introduction to Elixir's implementation of this crush-worthy construct.

With options available today, it has never been easier to build solutions, run experiments, and recover from mistakes. Cheap leverage however encourages incidental complexity, reduces inherent need for cooperation, and obviates common standards. Functional programming offers unprecedented leverage, which amplifies these externalities. Knowingly or not, the modern software developer wields tremendous power thusly, but at the same time walks on the knife edge. In this talk, Evadne will attempt to provide an overview of these externalities, the historical context, near- and long-term implications, and a few projections as to how things will play out. She will also share some ideas as to how we can mitigate these problems together as a community.

This video was recorded at Code Elixir LDN 19 Get involved in Code Sync’s next conference http://bit.ly/2Mcm4aS --- Keynote - Confident Elixir by Tetiana Dushenkivska Are you proud of the code and workflow in your project? Being proud of what you do comes with confidence in the patterns and concepts you choose to follow and your ability to apply them in the project. In this talk, Tetiana will share with the audience what gives her confidence working on the elixircards project. Working with Elixir full time since 2016 on various different projects with different teams, there has been a set of patterns they’ve adopted which she would like to share with the audience through concrete examples. OBJECTIVES Tetiana wants the audience to walk away with: feeling motivated to think of, discuss and share the practices they are proud of, either be inspired to try something new or feel confident about what they do already have practical examples showing how particular concepts are used in Elixir, making the keynote accessible to developers who are new to Elixir. AUDIENCE Beginners who want to see an example of problems, reasoning and solutions they may experience in their career. Anyone who is interested in seeing what patterns and concepts are used on another project and why, how we go from idea to a solution, what we tried, what didn’t work and how we solved it. For intermediate and proficient users it may be more of a thought-provoking, rather than learning opportunity, something to discuss with others. THIS TALK IN THREE WORDS: honest, thought provoking, opinionated TALK LEVEL: Beginner --- THE SPEAKER - Tetiana Dushenkivska Software Engineer Tetiana is a Software Engineer with a passion for challenges and making learning fun. In her free time she contributes to open source and working on her own software/hardware projects. She is interested in the idea of mixing hardware and software together. That's why her personal projects include the integration of Arduino, bunch sensors with visual output to the browser. This allows her to write fun games and enjoy "testing" them. As a social person, she likes to build social games, which include "testing" with friends. After sipping a little bit of Elixir (programming language, not actual booze) she started to fall in love with it. That's the explanation to why all her latest projects include Elixir.

Until recently, however, it hasn’t been possible to verify software of sufficient complexity to be useful. Recently, that situation has changed. SeL4 is an open-source operating system microkernel efficient enough to be used in a wide range of practical applications. It has been proven to be fully functionally correct, ensuring the absence of buffer overflows, null pointer exceptions, use-after-free errors, etc., and to enforce integrity and confidentiality properties. The CompCert Verifying C Compiler maps source C programs to provably equivalent assembly language, ensuring the absence of exploitable bugs in the compiler. A number of factors have enabled this revolution in the formal methods community, including increased processor speed, better infrastructure like the Isabelle/HOL and Coq theorem provers, specialized logics for reasoning about low-level code, increasing levels of automation afforded by tactic languages and SAT/SMT solvers, and the decision to move away from trying to verify existing artifacts and instead focus on co-developing the code and the correctness proof. In this talk I will explore the promise and limitations of current formal methods techniques for producing useful software that provably does not contain exploitable bugs. I will discuss these issues in the context of DARPA’s HACMS program, which had as its goal the creation of high-assurance software for vehicles, including quad-copters, helicopters, and automobiles.

This means that not only can individual components fail, but so can entire inter-connected groups of services. But what if we could leave some of these headaches, like making sure that certain invariants hold between two inter-connected services, to our programming language to worry about? In this talk, Heather will talk about some recent work bridging distributed systems and programming languages research by shifting reasoning for two classes of problems into the programming language; building up richer computations making use of CRDTs, and building up richer computations implemented as compositions of serverless functions.

You can just call an API and you get the answer! You can treat them completely as black boxes and use them directly in your applications! But beware - all the algorithms have some cases when they fail to deliver what you're expecting. This talk is packed with live demos that show failure cases of popular algorithms, from linear regression to cutting-edge deep learning. Evelina will look at practical examples, use standard algorithms as black boxes and observe when they fail and why. You will learn that although you can treat the algorithms as black boxes, they can fail silently and what to do about it.

Slides & full abstract: https://codesync.global/speaker/sarah-allen/ --- THE SPEAKER - SARAH ALLEN Co-Creator Adobe After Effects/Shockwave Flash Video Around the time that Erlang was being invented, Sarah was coding in C for 3D computer graphics. She applied concepts of 3D modelling and animation in her first startup, creating After Effects to let artists control how two-dimensional video changes over time and space. In the mid-90s, she joined Macromedia to learn about the Internet, on a project code-named Shockwave and later transitioned to creating software that enabled communications with the Shockwave Multiuser Server and Flash video. Throughout her career, Sarah has leveraged deep experience in one technology to create innovation with the next. She believes in learning by teaching, even or perhaps especially for things that she has recently learned. In parallel with her technical work, Sarah has created programs to increase the diversity of the tech industry. In 2009, she co-founded RailsBridge, which became Bridge Foundry in 2013. Just last year, ElixirBridge was formed and she volunteered at their first workshop, learning and teaching Elixir to programmers who are new to the language.

A world, for example, where we can tell whether someone is going to a commit crime before they do. A lot of our problems would just disappear. The quest for absolute certainty has been at the top of Western science’s agenda. In a similar fashion, current technological developments tend to strive for generalizability and predictability. We value certainty, stability and uniformity. Whereas most of reality, instead of being orderly and stable is seething with change, disorder and process. People, far from being predictable and predetermined, are complex, social and dynamical beings that inherently exist in a web of relations. This talk discusses how absolute certainty is not only an unattainable goal so far as understanding people and the social world is concerned but also a dangerous state to aspire to.

HISTORICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL REFLECTIONS by Liesbeth De Mol THIS TALK IN THREE WORDS: Epistemology Computer programs Crossing boundaries TALK LEVEL: Intermediate ABSTRACT What is a computer program? This seemingly simple question, which lies at the heart of computer science, has no simple answer today, neither in academia nor in industry. The responses one gives to it affect very real problems which concern not just the so-called (everyday) User but anyone (scientists, programmers, children, politicians, managers, artists, mathematicians, etc) who relies on computing for some reason. Some examples are: Who is responsible if a given piece of software fails? and Should we apply patent or copyright law or neither to software? The aim of this talk is to develop this question from a more historical and philosophical angle. It will be argued why we need to take this question seriously and how, ultimately, it results in the need for an approach which crosses disciplinary boundaries in a non-trivial manner. The argument will be substantiated with several historical cases to show how some of the most basic assumptions we tend to make are incorrect. Slides & full abstract: https://codesync.global/speaker/liesbeth-de-mol/ --- THE SPEAKER - LIESBETH DE MOL CRCN (permanent researcher) at CNRS Liesbeth De Mol is a researcher of the French National Research foundation (CNRS) based in Lille. She studied art history, archeology and philosophy in Gent and obtained her PhD degree in philosophy in 2007. Her work is driven by the conviction that we are strongly in need of a deeper and independent reflection on computing and programming. In her own work this is done by developing historical, epistemological and foundational questions that challenge common ways of thinking. She has worked on the history and philosophy of computability; the reciprocal histories between mathematics, computing and engineering as well as the historical and epistemological connections, or lack thereof, between logic and computer science. She got into programming during her PhD research on a specific class of formal devices known as tag systems and which required, at a certain point, a computer-assisted approach. She is an advocate of a history and philosophy of computing which does not shy away from technical expertise and practice. She has published in a variety of venues which reflects her a-disciplinary stance. She is also the founding president of the DHST/DLMPST commission for the history and philosophy of computing and, currently, also the PI for the ANR research project PROGRAMme on the history and philosophy of computer programs, (https://programme.hypotheses.org/) More on Liesbeth De Mol: https://codesync.global/speaker/liesbeth-de-mol/ --- CODE SYNC & CODE MESH LDN 19 Code Mesh LDN is powered by Code Sync.

Those heuristics are fantastically tuned for staying fed, not getting eaten by bears etc., but are they well-suited for designing software? This talk is for software engineers and architects alike, who are curious about how they make decisions, and how they think. It's threaded together from stories, personal experiences and otherwise, of systems that ended up a very strange shape, or were killed altogether, not through bad coding, but through humans collectively optimising for the wrong thing. Learn about the biases that affect our programming choices; how we favour the first solution we think of (Anchoring effect), are suspicious of things that were “Not Invented Here”, and just how difficult it is to change your worldview (the Backfire effect). Your Brain on Software Development is a whimsical talk that explores the intersection of Programming, Architecture and Psychology, through the medium of funny-in-retrospect memories, borrowed war stories, and attempts to avoid people swearing at my design choices 5 years later.

This video was recorded at Code Mesh V 2020 - https://codesync.global/conferences/code-mesh-ldn/ A Computer Culture for Children | Cynthia Solomon ABSTRACT In 1966 a group of us created Logo, a programming language for children and other learners. This language gave rise to a learning environment as well as a computer culture. The design of the language went through many iterations; the learning environment expanded to embrace making and programming a variety of physical and virtual objects; and the culture with its mix of learners, teachers and ideas broadened discussions on thinking about thinking. The enthusiasm of children learning to program computers in school gave way to the realities of the lack of knowledgeable mentors and for a while led to schools embracing the learning of Microsoft Office skills. Today there is a new thrust of activity on making things. It raises questions about building and fostering their environments and cultures. What ideas might be helpful in casting these new spaces to encourage children’s creative spirit is the intention of this talk. • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-beam-sto/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeMeshIO • Looking for a unique learning experience?

Achieving our goal requires more effort since the Erlang ecosystem was designed for private networks where the concern about malicious users performing attacks was not given relevance. Therefore, every day we must have a security aware mindset: we must put on our security hat to design, develop and review code changes going into production. Join Viktória to explore the challenges that today's Erlang systems are faced with, analyse the vulnerabilities exists in Erlang, learn how to apply the principles of secure design to software projects running on the BEAM and learn about the tools exists today that can help in security reviews. • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-mesh-ldn/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeMeshIO • Looking for a unique learning experience?

Gillian currently supports three types of analysis: whole-program symbolic testing; full verification based on separation logic; and automatic compositional testing based on a technique called bi-abduction. It uses a core symbolic execution engine with strong mathematical foundations that unifies bug catching and verification. So far, we have instantiated Gillian to JavaScript and C. These instantiations have already been successfully applied to real-world code: to find bugs in the data-structure libraries Buckets.js and Collections-C, to find bugs and prove bounded correctness results for a jQuery-like library, cash, and to verify the deserialisation function of the AWS Encryption SDK messaging system. • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-mesh-ldn/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeMeshIO • Looking for a unique learning experience?

This video was recorded at Code Mesh V 2020 - https://codesync.global/conferences/code-mesh-ldn/ Protocol engineering for communicating actors | Laura Bocchi & Laura Voinea ABSTRACT In systems of communicating processes or actors, data types can be used to discipline the sorts of sent and received messages. Session types, in addition, can describe specific causalities and patterns among different send/receive actions (like application-level protocols). I will give an overview on recent and ongoing research about writing “good protocols” using session types and session types to yield correct implementations. I will then focus on modular composition of protocols. Real-world communication protocols are often built out of simpler protocols that cater for some specific functionality (e.g., banking, authentication) or operate at different levels of abstraction (e.g., HTTP, POP). However much of the work used for program verification (e.g., session types) treat protocols as monolithic units. I will show an approach to protocol composition, including a tool that extracts models from concurrent Erlang code into a protocol language based on session types, implements an algorithmic notion of protocol composition, and provides code generation from protocols. The purpose is greater modularisation and code reuse. • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-mesh-ldn/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeMeshIO • Looking for a unique learning experience?

An increasingly favored paradigm of synthesis is inductive program synthesis, where specifications of program behavior are provided in the form of examples. Inductive program synthesis not only helps make program synthesis more tractable, but also has the potential to democratize programming! Unfortunately, inductive synthesis engines encounter challenges like overfitting, ambiguity, and brittleness, similar to other inductive reasoning engines such as AI-based systems. PL researchers have typically attacked these problems by applying syntactic biases to the search space in the form of tailored DSLs, grammars and ranking functions. In this talk, I will show how one can further enhance the generalizability and robustness of such synthesis engines by applying semantic biases to the search space. References: 1.

This video was recorded at Code Mesh V 2020 - https://codesync.global/conferences/code-mesh-ldn/ Deploying a Modern Serverless Reactive container to the Cloud | Mary Grygleski - Senior Developer Advocate at IBM ABSTRACT We have been hearing a lot about the benefits of using the reactive approach to solving concurrency problems in distributed systems. While reactive programming refers to the implementation techniques being used on the coding level, on the systems deployment and runtime level, we can leverage on a robust yet very flexible and lightweight framework such as Vert.x to deliver. In this session, we will first learn about what the missions of a reactive system are, which, among many things, include handling multiple concurrent data stream flows and being able to control back pressure as well as managing errors in an elegant manner. The very loosely-coupled nature of a reactive system also lends itself very well to building microservices that can communicate well within its messaging infrastructure. We will also discuss the special polyglot nature of Vert.x, its event loop, and its use of the Vertical model. Live coding will accompany this session to illustrate how to program a simple use case using multiple JVM languages such as Java and Kotlin, we will then build and dockerize it to be deployed as a serverless container using Knative to a Kubernets/Openshift cluster on the cloud in a delightful manner. OBJECTIVE The goal of this talk, among many other goals, is to enable the participants to learn some important concepts about event-driven and reactive systems, and how the lightweight yet very powerful Eclipse Vert.x can assist them to start building event-driven and reactive applications and microservices easily, as well as how to containerize and deploy them to the cloud in an un-intimidated fashion. • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-mesh-ldn/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeMeshIO • Looking for a unique learning experience?

ABSTRACT When we think of programming languages, we think of Java, Kotlin, JavaScript, or Python. We don't think of CSS, SQL, or HTML. And we don't think of Alloy, Modelica, or SNOBOL—in fact, maybe we haven't even heard of all those. But what's the distinction? And maybe most importantly, what can we learn as programmers from "not programming languages"? OBJECTIVES The talk aims to show folks what we can learn from questioning how we categorize things rather than ignoring things outside our arbitrary categories. It also aims to help folks understand that most "universal truths" aren't as universal as we might be led to believe—and why it matters. • Follow us on social: Website: https://codesync.global/conferences/code-mesh-ldn/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CodeMeshIO • Looking for a unique learning experience?

A talk by Phuong Van: "Understanding processes and supervisors in Erlang/Elixir can be tricky for beginners. When I was preparing to give a talk introducing Erlang and Elixir to developers in Vietnam, I thought of this idea to visualise how processes and supervisors work using Phoenix LiveView. A simple application was written and people were impressed by the power of OTP. It was a waste to just have it as a one-time demo and I thought it could be helpful if you are a visual learner, with some quick setup, clicking and playing around, the demo can help beginners to understand more about processes and supervisors".

A lot of legacy is thrown out and new mechanisms will replace old flawed ones. Most of the TLS handshake will be encrypted as opposed to earlier when most of the first handshake was in plain text and encryption started first when sending the final handshake confirmation message. TLS-1.3 also puts new requirements on TLS-1.2 to pave the way for migration. Supervisors, generic behaviours, logger, gb_trees, ets, queue models, maps, try catch, binaries, records how are they used and why.

Although it is said that imitation is the best form of flattery, in this talk we will go through some of the most popular constraints and pitfalls of cloud native architectures that could be more efficiently solved or even dismissed thanks to Elixir (or the BEAM)’s capabilities. We will discuss the impact on effort and resources that the current approach represents for companies and users, but also including a positive review on how can Elixir coexist and take advantage of the current cloud native tooling catalogue without overlapping or overengineering a project.

As our software gets larger and does more, that complexity resurfaces in new and less obvious ways. As much as the actor model is lauded for being like an organism, organic code can become full of structural complexity. Is there a way to strengthen our code, while retaining its flexibility and making it even clearer to communicate our intent? There is! The decades since, we've developed new techniques and patterns to structure our code. And best of all, we can have them encoded in libraries and modules directly! These techniques are starting to become enshrined in standard libraries of other languages — can they be brought to Elixir?

To achieve these goals, these apps rely on distributed cloud data stores that provide availability even under network partition. It takes significant effort and expertise from programmers to understand the intricate semantics and develop correct applications on top of such highly available databases. In my talk, I will show how AntidoteDB supports a principled approach to build highly-available, yet correct applications by combining conflict-free replicated data types (CRDTs), highly-available transactions and stronger synchronisation mechanisms. --- TALK OBJECTIVES You will learn how conflict-free replicated datatypes (CRDTs), transactions, and causal consistency interact to keep application data safe. Further, you will see how to identify patterns in your application that have specific synchronisation requirements und learn how to employ them with AntidoteDB. --- THEMES Consistency CRDTs AntidoteDB --- Code BEAM Lite LDN was brought to you by Code Sync.

Currently this happens only in movies and our imagination due to mainly scalability and fault tolerance limitations of robots. In this talk Natalia introduces her vision of scaling complex robots and collections of robots using Erlang. She starts with an overview of existing robotics projects that use Erlang and then talks about her idea and some small research projects that she has conducted at Bournemouth and Glasgow Universities to develop the vision. Read the full abstract: http://bit.ly/2OVPg4k --- THE SPEAKER - NATALIA CHECHINA Lecturer in computing at BOURNEMOUTH UNIVERSITY Natalia Chechina is passionate about distributed systems, cooperative robotics, scalability, fault tolerance, and as a result is in love with Erlang. Her research investigates approaches and techniques to enable scaling and efficient performance on commodity hardware where components are loosely coupled, communication is significant, and any of the components may fail or disconnect at any time.
