Hacking coreAshok Modi

This document discusses reasons for and best practices around modifying Drupal core code ("hacking core"). It provides examples where the author felt core modifications were necessary due to limitations of core or unsupported modules. The best practices recommended are to first check if an issue is already in the queue, work towards an official patch, and otherwise create an issue and patch. The document advises copying modules to a custom directory, making changes, and versioning patches so updates can be merged later if the core is modified officially. It offers to demonstrate a core modification addressing long image data crashing sites.

Continuous Delivery concept overview. Continuous Integration Systems. DevOps ...eleksdev

DevOps is a culture and practice that aims to rapidly build, test, and release software. Continuous integration requires developers to integrate code into a shared repository multiple times a day, with each check-in verified by automated builds to detect problems early. Continuous delivery is the practice of releasing every good build to users. Popular tools for continuous integration include TeamCity, Jenkins, and others.

Using Ansible and PowerShell Togetherjonathanmedd

Ansible is an open-source configuration management tool that uses an agentless architecture with SSH or WinRM to install and run modules temporarily on nodes. It has both open source and enterprise versions. Playbooks are used to automate tasks and modules implement specific provisioning functions. While Ansible supports Windows, there are some challenges like PowerShell's double-hop CredSSP limitation and YAML syntax sensitivity.

PowerCLI in the Enterprise Breaking the Magicians Code originaljonathanmedd

This document discusses best practices for creating reusable PowerShell functions and modules. It recommends breaking code into manageable chunks using functions, following standard naming conventions, making functions flexible by supporting parameters and the pipeline. Functions should be organized into modules for easy distribution and access. Modules can be imported to reuse functions across scripts and automation systems. Source control is suggested to back up and track changes to functions over time.

"AI in the browser: predicting user actions in real time with TensorflowJS", ...Fwdays

With AI becoming increasingly present in our everyday lives, the latest advancements in the field now make it easier than ever to integrate it into our software projects. In this session, we’ll explore how machine learning models can be embedded directly into front-end applications. We'll walk through practical examples, including running basic models such as linear regression and random forest classifiers, all within the browser environment. Once we grasp the fundamentals of running ML models on the client side, we’ll dive into real-world use cases for web applications—ranging from real-time data classification and interpolation to object tracking in the browser. We'll also introduce a novel approach: dynamically optimizing web applications by predicting user behavior in real time using a machine learning model. This opens the door to smarter, more adaptive user experiences and can significantly improve both performance and engagement. In addition to the technical insights, we’ll also touch on best practices, potential challenges, and the tools that make browser-based machine learning development more accessible. Whether you're a developer looking to experiment with ML or someone aiming to bring more intelligence into your web apps, this session will offer practical takeaways and inspiration for your next project.

Is Your QA Team Still Working in Silos? Here's What to Do.marketing943205

Often, QA teams find themselves working in silos: the mobile team focused solely on app functionality, the web team on their portal, and API testers on their endpoints, with limited visibility into how these pieces truly connect. This separation can lead to missed integration bugs that only surface in production, causing frustrating customer experiences like order errors or payment failures. It can also mean duplicated efforts, communication gaps, and a slower overall release cycle for those innovative F&B features everyone is waiting for. If this sounds familiar, you're in the right place! The carousel below, "Is Your QA Team Still Working in Silos?", visually explores these common pitfalls and their impact on F&B quality. More importantly, it introduces a collaborative, unified approach with Qyrus, showing how an all-in-one testing platform can help you break down these barriers, test end-to-end workflows seamlessly, and become a champion for comprehensive quality in your F&B projects.

Keynote for a client. In this session, Merelda addressed common misconceptions about AI technologies, particularly the confusion between Predictive AI and Generative AI, and provided clarity on when to use each. Predictive AI analyzes historical data to forecast future outcomes, while Generative AI creates new content, from text to images, rapidly. Understanding the differences between these technologies is crucial for making informed, strategic decisions. She introduced the three archetypes of AI adoption: Takers, Shapers, and Makers, inviting the audience to identify which role their organisation plays. Based on these archetypes, she presented industry-specific examples relevant to Schauenburg’s portfolio, showcasing how Predictive AI can drive operational efficiency (e.g., predicting equipment maintenance), while Generative AI enhances customer interactions (e.g., generating technical documents).
