Humans are called the weakest link in any secure system.
There fore password policies try to force users to make more secure passwords. Forcing the user is not very sucsessfull, instead of making passwords difficult for computers, policies leads to difficult passwords for users. Users struggle to remember passwords, leading them to use common phrases, shorten passwords, and reuse passwords. Making passwords even more insecure
We know people are bad at passwords, but what are they good at?
In my presentation i will discuss why user interfaces invites to bad password practises, before moving on to talk about human skills that can be used to shape users actions into more secure behaviour. Then giving exsamples of ways of making userfiendly security.

Som arkitekt i de tre senaste projekten, har jag samlat på mig insikter som jag känner är värda att dela med mig till er. Både bra och dåliga erfarenheter som kan hjälpa er startsträcka bli kortare och rakare. Jag djupdyker ned i kod men också håller helhetsperspektivet kring arkitektur och motiverar vissa beslut. Min förhoppning är att efter seminariet har ni samlat in kunskaper och mod för att ta er an nya utmaningar med Azure

Rust is a reliable systems programming language providing bare-metal performance in a modern wrapping. It guarantees memory and thread-safety without garbage collection, offers great tooling and an amazing community — in fact, Rust has been voted the most loved programming language according to the Stack Overflow Developer Survey three years in a row. The language is experiencing rapid adaptation in multiple industries ranging from game development to backend systems.
In this workshop, we will explore Rust and create a simple synthesizer that can be played with your computer keyboard. We will also implement rudimentary sound effects. The goal of this workshop is to learn some of the basics of Rust through a hands-on project, and no prior knowledge of Rust or audio processing is required.
Outline:
We start off with some basic sound theory ~ 15 min
We then have a fundamental introduction to Rust, focusing on the aspects required to complete the tasks.
For the remainder of the time we assist the participants as they progress through the tasks. When opportune, we will present our proposed solution for the tasks, giving those who lag behind the opportunity to catch up.

Visualiseringer på Web har lenge vært forbeholdt til to dimensjoner. Og ofte er det nok. Men hva om en ønsker å gi dataene litt mer dybde og muligheten til å utforske dem også i den 3. dimensjonen? Biblioteket three.js gjør det enkelt for hvem som helst å lage visualiseringer i tre dimensjoner og inneholder flere kraftfulle abstraheringer over WebGL APIet. Dette foredraget vil gi en rask introduksjon til three.js og vise praktiske eksempler på hva det kan brukes til.

Graphics cards can be used to do more than just rendering graphics, they can also be used to accelerate compute-intensive workloads within fields like computer vision, physics simulation, video encoding, and the likes. With WebGL, the graphics processor is programmable directly from a browser, and with the 2.0 specification, as well as an upcoming “compute shader” extension, new possibilities for high-performance and browser-native heterogeneous programming presents itself.

Flutter is Google’s mobile app SDK for creating high-quality, beautiful native experiences on iOS and Android in record time. It is a free and open-source platform with a large and increasingly growing community and it is already being used for production applications; such as Alibaba and Google Ads
This presentation intends to introduce the Flutter framework and showcase its advantages and powerful tooling which would make it a fast, cross-platform and productive engine to build production-ready solutions, soon even beyond mobile.

I went and got certified as a Scrummaster, and one thing I noticed during the process was that Scrum seemed very rigid. I thought about the teams I had worked in and how they fit into this rigid system and they just didn’t. So I was stuck with this thought in my head; Is Scrum-ish such a bad thing?
In this talk I’ll air out my thoughts on different aspects of Scrum, hopefully this can lead to an interesting discussion during Open Space.

To reap the benefits of a proposed machine learning model it can be very important that it works 24/7/365. Having a PoC is one thing but being able to scale it such that it runs continuously in production with a stable and high accuracy is no simple task and one that is often underestimated. It can take lot of effort to turn a PoC model into a working model in production without a framework. In this presentation I will therefore dive more into the importance of a ML framework, based on our learnings/experiences from establishing one at E.ON Energy networks AB.

Jeg har bygget mitt eget smarte speil i gangen hjemme. Dette er gjort med Open Source-rammeverket Magic Mirror og har integrasjoner med diverse komponenter for å vise familiens kalender, været og når bussen går, samt hvilken musikk som spiller i hvilket rom i huset med Sonos.
Jeg går også gjennom hvordan speilet ble bygget med RaspBerry Pi, en monitor og litt snekkerarbeid.
I tillegg viser foredraget hvordan speilet kan stemmestyres med Alexa, AWS Lambda (serverless)!

We like Robot Framework because it is easy to use and has nice reports. We love Python because it's a cool programming language. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about Robot Framework. Thus, many developers have been looking for a way to write tests in native Python and still come out with test execution trace logs, as provided Robot Framework. So here it is: TraceRobot. TraceRobot is a python module and a PyTest plugin, combining the best worlds of PyTest and Robot Framework. But beware, the project is still a PoC and looking for volunteers!
