CONSIDERATIONS FROM MEDIA ARCHAEOLOGY by Frieder Nake THIS TALK IN THREE WORDS: Graphics Languages Media TALK LEVEL: Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced ABSTRACT Of course, calculating machines do not like to draw. In fact, they will just not do it. I am a machine, they will say, a machine for calculations. That's exactly what I am supposed to do and that, therefore, I will do with utmost precision, reliable and correct. But there was a time when the calculating machine still had to be told what to do when its human master requested that a line was to be drawn, straight or circular. And many lines in many styles, and areas in brilliant colors. In such a way these visual object were supposed to appear an paper that galleries and museums, through their directors, would say, that's marvellous and rather surprising, and causing a lot of new thinking, but we exhibit that stuff anyway. And we don't hesitate too much and even call it art if it is nice enough. The years, when this happened, were the early 1960s. Today, nobody can imagine that there was a time when only symbols and numbers went through the narrow channels into and out from computers, no icons and no visuals, just nothing of this kind. The early 1960s became the time when digital media start emerging around an entirely new world of using (or mis-using?) computers. They are the times, when the machine computer mutates into a medium. A fascinating medium. The semiotic engine! – This contribution will offer a bit of media archaeology of the time. The perspective must, of course, be that of languages for programming. Therefore, it will include a remark on an algebra-oriented graphics language, and a few early language constructs for graphics.

But this narrator is unreliable: It decides what's important and what's not, forgets to mention the juiciest parts of the plot, and usually rambles for gigabytes. There's more narration coming out of your application: metrics, tracing, all the system chatter that surrounds a running process - databases, message queues, git dags, etc., which deep down are logs. On the other side of the spectrum, Event Sourcing means to exhaustively describe all event affecting the state of the application and focusing on its dynamics. Logs - all the way down. But what if there was One Log? What if we used well structured messages, integrating in a single stream dtrace application logs, iostat metrics, prometheus signals, and domain events. What if we relinquished up-front filtering and throttling and let serendipity do its job? What if the separate realms of information (business events, kibana views, grafana boards) we work with were just views of a big stream of log events? This session will be a live-running experiment exploring what information we can harvest from this hoard of data. Building upon a simple event source application, we'll aggregate more events, implement traffic replay as a reverse event log, embrace system logs, treat log streams as a language with its semantics and model, and see what that emerging narrative tells us.

Netflix is undoubtedly the leader in this field, but much of the publicised tools and articles focus on killing EC2 instances, and the efforts in the serverless community has been largely limited to moving those tools into cloud-hosted functions. But how can we apply the same principles of chaos to a serverless architecture? Can we adapt existing practices to expose the inherent chaos in these systems? What are the limitations and new challenges that we need to consider? Join us in this talk as Yan Cui shares his thought experiments, and actual experiments, in his pursuit to understand how we can apply the principles of chaos to a serverless architecture. A word of warning though, you’re guaranteed to walk away with more questions than answers!

This is much more than “teaching kids to code”. It represents a huge and welcome shift of perspective, away from technology and towards principles and ideas. But it’s also a massive challenge. What does a good computer science education look like in primary school classroom? How can teachers with little subject knowledge of computer science teach it? Aren’t computer scientists all socially-challenged male geeks anyway? In this talk, Simon explains what’s going on, especially the recent launch of the National Centre of Computing Education. This revolution is taking place in our core expertise, in within yards of our front doors. And we are being invited to contribute to it, and shape how it “lands”. What an opportunity! Let’s grab it; Simon will make concrete suggestions about how. Slides & full abstract: https://codesync.global/speaker/simon-peyton-jones/ --- THE SPEAKER - SIMON PEYTON JONES Principal researcher at Microsoft Research Simon has been a researcher at Microsoft Research in Cambridge, England since Sept 1998. He's also an Honorary Professor of the Computing Science Department at Glasgow University, where he was a professor during 1990-1998. Simon is interested in the design, implementation, and application of lazy functional languages. In practical terms, that means he spends most of his time on the design and implementation of the language Haskell. In particular, much of his work is focused around the Glasgow Haskell Compiler, and its ramifications. Simon is chair of Computing at School, the group at the epicentre of the reform of the national curriculum for Computing in England. Computer science is now a foundational subject, alongside maths and natural science, that every child learns from primary school onwards (background here).
