## Learn Go and NixOS deployments with large language models Hello, 世界! When used sensibly, language models can be tutors, too. For meetup #60 on Tuesday [May 26, 2026 19:00 CET](https://www.meetup.com/leipzig-golang/events/312537727) we are really happy to have [Maxime](https://www.linkedin.com/in/plumps/) dive into Nix/NixOS with the help of language models. Nix is a functional package manager and its immutable traits enable robust, reproducable deployments of Go (and other) projects. The high level goals of Nix/NixOS are similar to other immutable Linux distributions, like [Silverblue](https://fedoraproject.org/silverblue/) or [Bazzite](https://bazzite.gg/). Becoming familiar with the Nix configuration language can be a challenge, but one that a well instructed tutor may help with. > Artificial intelligence techniques are increasingly used in education to enable personalized learning and intelligent tutoring [LLM Agents for Education: Advances and Applications](https://aclanthology.org/anthology-files/anthology-files/pdf/findings/2025.findings-emnlp.743.pdf) (11/2025) Why reproducible and immutable deployments play a role?

Combinatorial optimization problems arise across logistics, scheduling, and engineering, and C++ remains a language of choice when performance matters. This lecture takes a practical look at solving such problems in C++, using the Electric Vehicle Routing Problem as a running example. We begin with an exact solver, formulating the problem as a mixed-integer program and trying to solve it through GLPK's C API directly from C++. Exact methods, however, quickly hit their limits on real-world instances. The second half of the talk turns to metaheuristics: how they are designed, why C++ is particularly well suited for implementing them, and what design choices matter most in practice. We'll walk through a concrete implementation, touching on data structures for fast neighborhood evaluation, generic algorithm design with templates, and the performance considerations that separate a prototype from a production-ready solver. The goal is not to advocate for one approach over another, but to show how C++ supports the full spectrum of optimization techniques.

Tatry IT Ťa pozýva na pravidelné stretnutie o aktuálnych a zaujímavých (nie len) digitálnych a IT témach. Eventy organizujeme v spolupráci s [Coworking Poprad](https://coworkingpoprad.sk). Príď na meetup Tatry IT Community na tému: Priamy let na produkciu: AI-first vývoj v Kiwi.com. Platformu Kiwi.com netreba špeciálne predstavovať. Menej sa však hovorí o tom, ako Kiwi.com funguje vo vnútri. Na meetupe budeme hovoriť o tom, ako v Kiwi.com beží (lieta) AI-first vývoj. **Speaker: Michal Cyprian** Zaregistruj sa [tu](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc6wDQ2F7Z_avxdFvhSzJddNjr2i4h231A_q0TDzIFhqRyzVw/viewform). Slido: #tatryit **PROGRAM:** 18:00 Privítanie 18:10 Priamy let na produkciu: AI-first vývoj v Kiwi.com 19:00 Q&A a Networking Event budeme [streamovať](https://youtube.com/live/ltR3RmE2uT0?feature=share) a môžete si ho pozrieť aj neskôr na YouTube kanáli Tatry IT community (https://youtube.com/live/ltR3RmE2uT0). Zaujíma Ťa niečo konkrétne, alebo máš zaujímavú tému? Napíš nám (community@tatryit.sk). Tatry IT Team

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

Happy Birthday to all June birthday people! I put this on the schedule because it's my birthday month, and this is my favorite place; it's also Dave Koczur's (MAFIA meetup leader) birthday on June 8; if you who are reading this have a June birthday as well, tell us in the Comments! For anyone off work or with a flexible schedule, come to Pistachio Vera in German Village for a tea and pastry. We will try to get a table outside. If convenient, you could put a fold up chair in your car in case we can all sit outside but we run out of chairs. https://www.pistaciavera.com/
