QR Secure: A Hybrid Approach Using Machine Learning and Security Validation F...AlexanderRichford
QR Secure: A Hybrid Approach Using Machine Learning and Security Validation Functions to Prevent Interaction with Malicious QR Codes.
Aim of the Study: The goal of this research was to develop a robust hybrid approach for identifying malicious and insecure URLs derived from QR codes, ensuring safe interactions.
This is achieved through:
Machine Learning Model: Predicts the likelihood of a URL being malicious.
Security Validation Functions: Ensures the derived URL has a valid certificate and proper URL format.
This innovative blend of technology aims to enhance cybersecurity measures and protect users from potential threats hidden within QR codes 🖥 🔒
This study was my first introduction to using ML which has shown me the immense potential of ML in creating more secure digital environments!
The "Zen" of Python Exemplars - OTel Community DayPaige Cruz
The Zen of Python states "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." OpenTelemetry is the obvious choice for traces but bad news for Pythonistas when it comes to metrics because both Prometheus and OpenTelemetry offer compelling choices. Let's look at all of the ways you can tie metrics and traces together with exemplars whether you're working with OTel metrics, Prom metrics, Prom-turned-OTel metrics, or OTel-turned-Prom metrics!
MySQL InnoDB Storage Engine: Deep Dive - MydbopsMydbops
This presentation, titled "MySQL - InnoDB" and delivered by Mayank Prasad at the Mydbops Open Source Database Meetup 16 on June 8th, 2024, covers dynamic configuration of REDO logs and instant ADD/DROP columns in InnoDB.
This presentation dives deep into the world of InnoDB, exploring two ground-breaking features introduced in MySQL 8.0:
• Dynamic Configuration of REDO Logs: Enhance your database's performance and flexibility with on-the-fly adjustments to REDO log capacity. Unleash the power of the snake metaphor to visualize how InnoDB manages REDO log files.
• Instant ADD/DROP Columns: Say goodbye to costly table rebuilds! This presentation unveils how InnoDB now enables seamless addition and removal of columns without compromising data integrity or incurring downtime.
Key Learnings:
• Grasp the concept of REDO logs and their significance in InnoDB's transaction management.
• Discover the advantages of dynamic REDO log configuration and how to leverage it for optimal performance.
• Understand the inner workings of instant ADD/DROP columns and their impact on database operations.
• Gain valuable insights into the row versioning mechanism that empowers instant column modifications.
An Introduction to All Data Enterprise IntegrationSafe Software

Elasticity vs. State? Exploring Kafka Streams Cassandra State StoreScyllaDB
kafka-streams-cassandra-state-store' is a drop-in Kafka Streams State Store implementation that persists data to Apache Cassandra.
By moving the state to an external datastore the stateful streams app (from a deployment point of view) effectively becomes stateless. This greatly improves elasticity and allows for fluent CI/CD (rolling upgrades, security patching, pod eviction, ...).
It also can also help to reduce failure recovery and rebalancing downtimes, with demos showing sporty 100ms rebalancing downtimes for your stateful Kafka Streams application, no matter the size of the application’s state.
As a bonus accessing Cassandra State Stores via 'Interactive Queries' (e.g. exposing via REST API) is simple and efficient since there's no need for an RPC layer proxying and fanning out requests to all instances of your streams application.
In ScyllaDB 6.0, we complete the transition to strong consistency for all of the cluster metadata. In this session, Konstantin Osipov covers the improvements we introduce along the way for such features as CDC, authentication, service levels, Gossip, and others.
11. What is Experimentation?
Experiment
“an experiment is a procedure carried out to
support, refute or validate a hypothesis” – Wiki
Experimentation
Experiment
• The process of improving an outcome
• Experiment is the initial building block of
experimentation
Experimentation
“Scientific approach to understanding the needs
of customers and building products that they will
find valuable”
Experimentation in Product Management
12. Basic Building Block of Experimentation - A/B Testing
• Compare performance of test samples against control samples
• Samples are identical except for one aspect whose effect is being tested

Reaching the Optimal Solution is difficult -
• Predictions are highly sensitive to assumptions
and assumptions are never truly robust
• Actual customer behavior can deviate widely
from stated opinion
• “not everyone is Steve Jobs”

want and what their behaviors reveal they
actually want.”
