**Python is often celebrated as the universal glue that can do anything, but what happens when your project scales, a trace breaks, or a lack of architecture becomes your biggest bottleneck?** Join us on **Tuesday, April 21,** for an evening focused on the realities of operating Python at scale. We're bringing together developers and engineering leads from Applifting, ROUVY, and DX Heroes to share hard-won lessons on everything from clean architecture to distributed systems Let's meet in the **Applifting meetup space**, both in person and online. **We’ll start at 18:00.** 👉 [Register here](https://applifting.io/events/python-crew-talk-it-scales-until-it-doesnt) 👈 **if you want to attend in person. Spaces are limited and our event planner Anetka would be sad if we had to turn you away at the door!** **Who’s speaking?** We will kick off with two lightning talks. First, **[Ondřej Doskočil](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ondrejdoskocil/)**, Python tech lead at Applifting, will challenge the mindset that clean architecture is "too Java" for Python and show how AI tools can help you adopt proper structure as your projects scale. **[Stanislav Gurník](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanleygurnik/)**, backend chapter lead at ROUVY, will follow up with hard-won lessons from the trenches of distributed systems, exploring what it takes to move event-driven Python services from "it works" to "it scales". Then, they will be joined for the panel discussion by **[Jiří Maňák](https://www.linkedin.com/in/manakjiri/)**, software engineering team lead at DX Heroes, and **Martin Jiřík**, senior DevOps engineer at ROUVY. **We look forward to meeting you!** **Schedule:** **17:30 – Doors open** * Get your ticket ready, say hello to others, and have a drink with us. 🥂 **18:00 – Introduction by Filip Kirschner** * Our co-founder Filip will give you a short welcome and introduce our speakers. **18:15 – Architecture in Python: Breaking the 'too Java' taboo with Ondřej Doskočil** * *Why a lack of structure becomes the real problem as projects scale, and how to successfully adopt clean architecture in Python.* **18:35 – Lessons learned from operating Python services in event-driven architecture with Stanislav Gurník** * *Distilling hard-won lessons on the architectural pivots that move event-driven Python services from "it works" to "it scales."* **18:50 – Short break** * *Time to stretch, refill drinks, and chat a bit.* **19:00 – Panel discussion with Ondřej Doskočil, Stanislav Gurník, Jiří Maňák, and Martin Jiřík** * *An open discussion on scaling Python and adopting clean architecture, exploring the realities of distributed systems, operations, and team collaboration.* **20:00** — **Q&A session** * *Your turn.

Čekání je u konce - jedeme dál! Po povedeném návratu se Research Tuesday vrací podruhé. Navazujeme přesně tam, kde jsme minule skončili: u sdílení zkušeností, otevřených diskusí a upřímného pohledu na naši práci bez příkras. **💡 Atmosféra: Bez kamer, jen diskuse** Jestli jsi tu poprvé, připomínáme naši „tajnou ingredienci“: meetupy nenahráváme ani nestreamujeme. Dává nám to svobodu mluvit otevřeně o tom, co fungovalo – i co ne. **🗺️ Téma měsíce: Když UX opustí obrazovku** Co když zákaznická cesta nezačíná ani nekončí v jednom rozhraní, ale vede přes digitální touchpointy do fyzického prostředí, a pak zase zpátky? Co když uživatel neřeší aplikaci, ale snaží se ve stresu a pod časovým tlakem najít správné dveře v nemocnici? **Michaela Holubec Birtusová** UX výzkumnice, facilitátorka a service designérka, která se pohybuje na pomezí digitálních a fyzických služeb. Dlouhodobě působí v organizaci Czechdesign, kde se věnuje především projektům ve veřejném sektoru, od municipalit po zdravotnictví. Kromě toho pracuje na volné noze pro další klienty, kterým pomáhá s výzkumem, facilitací a nastavováním služeb tak, aby odpovídaly reálným potřebám lidí. V posledních letech se intenzivně zaměřuje na výzkum orientace (wayfindingu) ve zdravotnických zařízeních. V rámci výzkumného projektu podpořeného TAČR se podílí na výzkumu, který kombinuje kvalitativní metody, testování v terénu, eye-tracking i VR, s cílem navrhovat navigační systémy, které skutečně fungují. Michaela nasdílí své zkušenosti z výzkumu orientace (wayfindingu) ve zdravotnických zařízeních. Otevře témata, která se v digitálu často neřeší – práci s fragmentovanou pozorností, kontextem, stresem nebo chybou. Probereme i to, jak důležitá je v tomto kontextu přístupnost a jak ji do výzkumu zahrnout co nejvíce. Michaela ukáže case study jako otevřený vhled do procesu: co fungovalo, kde si tým nebyl jistý a kde narážel. **Nové místo & káva:** Tentokrát se potkáme v útulném prostředí **kavárny Ruelto na Andělu**. Abychom podpořili majitele, kteří nám vyšli vstříc, nebudeme tentokrát zajišťovat externí catering. Na místě si ale můžete koupit jejich skvělou výběrovou kávu a lahodné koláčky. **🕒 Agenda:** * **09:00 AM** – Otevření dveří & ranní networking * **9:30 AM** – Úvodní blok: Když UX opustí obrazovku: Jak zkoumat orientaci ve fyzickém světě * **10:30 AM** – Otevřená diskuze * **11:30 PM** – Závěr & networking * **🧸 Hlídání dětí na vyžádání:** Research Tuesday stavíme na tom, že profesní rozvoj má být přístupný všem. Chceme podpořit i rodiče malých dětí, aby mohli zůstat v kontaktu s oborem a potkávat se bez zbytečných překážek. **Máte zájem o hlídání?** Rádi ho na místě zajistíme, ale potřebujeme vědět, jestli o něj bude zájem. Dejte nám vědět v komentářích nejpozději do pondělí do 8:00, jestli službu využijete a pro kolik dětí. Podle toho rozhodneme, jestli ji zajistíme. **🎟️ Důležité informace:** **Vstupenky:** Vstupné na Research Tuesday je dobrovolné. Kapacita je omezena na **35 míst**, abychom udrželi osobní a otevřenou atmosféru. **Rezervace:** Zarezervuj si místo včas. Pokud se ti plány změní, prosíme, uvolni místo ostatním. **Těšíme se na známé tváře i nové účastníky!** Ivana, Lucie, Martin

Před několika měsíci vyústila vyostřená debata o filtrech a Core vs Knots v kontroverzní návrh BIP-110, původně známý jako “BIP-444”, neboli Reduce Data Temporary Soft Fork, který má za cíl dočasně omezit časté způsoby vkládání netransakčních dat na bitcoin. Je tento návrh efektivní? Jaké kroky navrhuje? Co se musí stát pro jeho aktivaci a jaká je situace dnes? Lukáš, náš expert na Rust a bitcoin, vám podrobně přiblíží tento problém z každého hlediska. **🦀 PREZENTACE** Tato přednáška představuje BIP-110 v kontextu debaty Knots VS Core, tedy o spam filterech. BIP-110 se snaží se vypořádat se s domnělým i reálným spamem změnou pravidel Bitcoin konsensu, tím že zakáže použití určitých op-kódů a omezí maximální velikosti dat u jiných opcodes. Na BIP-110 se podíváme 1. Z pohledu technického: Co přesně se snaží změnit a proč, kterým metodám se snaží zamezit, a zda zabraňuje některým legitimním použitím bitcoinu 2. Z pohledu časové osy a komunity: Kdy a kým byl BIP-110 vytvořen, kdy se aktivuje a jaké podmínky pro aktivaci musí splnit, jak fungují User-Activated Soft Forky, co se může stát, pokud k jeho aktivaci dojde, a co se může stát, pokud ne 3. Z pohledu efektivity: Jak zapadá do existujících způsobů vkládání netransakčních dat na blockchain, kterým způsobům nezamezuje, a jak se to projeví na ceně vkládání dat **🦀 NETWORKING** Po přibližně 60minutové prezentaci a Q&A zůstáváme na networking u piva. Zůstáváme do 22:00. * Registrace je zdarma. * Bude pití i něco k jídlu. * Odměny za nejlepší otázky. * Knihy od Braiins zdarma. **🦀 PŘEDNÁŠEJÍCÍ** Lukáš Hozda je expert na Rust, autor knihy Building Bitcoin in Rust a lektor kurzů Rust a Advanced Rust na Univerzitě Karlově. Přes den pracuje v pražské bitcoinové softwarové společnosti Braiins, kde jeho oficiální pracovní titul zní Braiins Superman. * Stáhněte si jeho eBook Building Bitcoin in Rust zdarma. * Sledujte Lukáše na X: https://x.com/LukasHozda Pokud vás zajímá seriózní Rust engineering, přidejte se k nám. 🔗 https://braiins.com *** **ENGLISH** 🇺🇸 **Analysis of BIP-110: Timeline, Details and Impacts. Can it work?** A few months ago, a heated debate about filters and Core vs Knots culminated in the controversial proposal BIP-110, originally known as 'BIP-444', or Reduce Data Temporary Soft Fork, which aims to temporarily restrict common methods of inserting non-transactional data onto Bitcoin. Is this proposal effective? What steps does it propose? What needs to happen for it to be activated, and what is the situation today? **🦀 THE PRESENTATION** This lecture presents BIP-110 in the context of the Knots vs Core debate, specifically about spam filters. BIP-110 attempts to deal with both alleged and real spam by changing Bitcoin consensus rules, by banning the use of certain op-codes and restricting the maximum data sizes of other opcodes. We will look at BIP-110 from: 1. A technical perspective: What exactly it tries to change and why, which methods it tries to prevent, and whether it blocks some legitimate uses of Bitcoin 2. A timeline and community perspective: When and by whom BIP-110 was created, when it activates and what conditions it must meet for activation, how User-Activated Soft Forks work, what may happen if it is activated, and what may happen if it is not 3. An effectiveness perspective: How it fits into existing methods of inserting non-transactional data onto the blockchain, which methods it does not prevent, and how this will be reflected in the cost of inserting data **🦀 THE NETWORKING** After about a 60min presentation and Q&A we will stay to network over a beer, we stay until 22:00. * Register here for free entry. * Drinks and snacks provided. * Giveaways for the best Q&A questions. * Braiins Bitcoin books for free. **🦀 THE SPEAKER** Lukáš Hozda is a Rust expert, author of the book Building Bitcoin in Rust, and a lecturer of Rust and Advanced Rust at Charles University.

This time, we will meet to discuss the unbelievable story of Gisèle Pelicot after reading her recent memoir, Hymn to Life. We will meet, as always, on the last Sunday of the month, this time at The Globe Café, for an interesting discussion from a feminist perspective.

## **What IdeaVerse is about** **We meet usually once a month to discuss some of the current challenges as well and perhaps come up with new ideas on how to overcome them. For those who came regularly, this next meetup would be slightly different. We will do a workshop on solving real world problems.** The problem we will attempt to solve is the dissolution of communities and spaces where people connect in person, and with it, our increased isolation and loneliness. There are many reasons why this is happening: \- replacement of religion with science as a beacon of meaning\, which seems to be much less great at inspiring connection; \- economic forces boosting our ego\, and make it easier to pay for random strangers for help then making lasting connections with people\. \- political polarization \- \(anti\)social media \(as I call it\) and now AI offering simulations of relationships\. \- climate change increasing our distrust in a better future and the importance of investing in life and people\. \- closing down of third spaces like churches\, malls and retail stores \(due to online shopping\)\, youth centers and increase in remote work\. These are all causes we'll explore, together with examples of how other people expressed they feel about this issue from research, reasons why this issue exists as well as examples of small victories against this tide. We'll work in small groups putting all this knowledge together with out imagination and attempt to find local solutions to similar problems here in Prague. This is is more than a discussion. It's an exploration of our ability to work together to effect change in ourselves and in our social circles. **Some suggested reading/watching:** 1. "Contrary to the perception that isolation and loneliness primarily affect older people in high-income countries, they impact the health and well-being of all age groups across the world. One in four older people experience social isolation and the rates are broadly similar in all regions. Among adolescents, between 5­­–15% experience loneliness, according to research findings." (3 minute read - [WHO launches commission to foster social connection](https://www.who.int/news/item/15-11-2023-who-launches-commission-to-foster-social-connection)) 2. "Many popular sitcoms center around what's known as a third place-- for example, Central Park in Friends or the Bull and Finch Pub from Cheers. Like the theme song goes, it's somewhere where everybody knows your name, where you can socialize in a place other than your home or work and build some community. But with the whole world accessible on your smartphone, it's kind of hard to resist the call of the couch. And it's hurting us more than we think."

Negative sentiment toward social media has been building for years, and now it’s finally boiled over,” said Mike Proulx, a director at Forrester, a market research company.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

Ciao a tutt\*! Let's meet Monday at 6.30pm at the Upper Arlington Library (Tremont Branch) in **Meeting Room A** to speak in Italian for 1 hour.

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? 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. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD

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.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
