Hi everyone! Join us for RubyZG May meetup. We have 2 great talks lined up: Vlado will show us how to go beyond the default Rails 8 PWA setup and build apps that work offline, and Bruno will talk about using more database features in Rails with Scenic and FX. This is also our first meetup at a new location: [Pogon, in Mislavova street](https://www.pogon.hr/rezerviraj-prostor/mislavova/opis/). After the talks, we're going for drinks nearby. There are a couple of interesting options around, including Monocycle, Boogie Lab and Branimir Mall, so we can vote on the favorite after the formal part of the meetup. See you at Pogon! \*\*\* **Beyond manifest and service-worker: Rails PWAs in Practice** by [Vlado Cingel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vladocingel/) Rails 8 ships with PWA support out of the box, but the built-in /manifest.json and /service-worker.js routes are just the starting line. In this talk we'll go from that default to a fully offline app: caching pages, storing structured data and building forms that work without a network. **Database Features, the Rails Way** by [Bruno Sutic](https://www.linkedin.com/in/brunosutic/) Rails makes database work simple, but sometimes the right solution lives closer to the database. In this talk we'll look at Scenic and FX, two gems that help us use views, functions and triggers in PostgreSQL while keeping the workflow familiar to Rails developers.

Hey everyone! Join us for our next meetup on **May 27th** starting at **18:00** at a new venue - **Pogon Mislavova** (Kneza Mislava 18). We'll have an interesting talk by our own Vitaliy, followed by our usual networking. Afterwards, we'll either stay at Pogon or head to a nearby bar (Canopy Bar sounds like a good option). \*\*\* Electron in Production: Building Efficient Desktop Apps with Native Modules by **Vitaliy Yunikov** VS Code, Slack, Figma, Linear, Notion — a lot of the desktop apps web developers use daily - are all Electron. Electron also has a reputation for being slow and bloated. Both are true: a well-built Electron app feels native, a default one doesn't. This talk covers what production Electron teams know that the docs don't tell you. We'll go through the process model and what each process costs, the security defaults you need from day one, the JS-side performance moves that buy back the memory Chromium charges, and what happens when pure JavaScript stops being fast enough - going native with N-API, including the data, threading, and memory contracts that surprise even experienced JS developers. Hope to see you there! Marcela

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.

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.

Welcome, readers! Our May read is **_Kindred_ by Octavia E. Butler.** The story follows Dana, a Black woman living in 1976 California, who is suddenly pulled back to a Maryland plantation before the Civil War. She learns her survival is tied to a white slaveholder’s son. Forced to move between centuries, she must endure the brutal realities of slavery while fighting to hold on to her identity. Tense, intimate, and unforgettable, Kindred explores how the past refuses to stay buried. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖

**Our June novel is: *The Eights* by Joanna Miller** **This month’s novel is set during World War I. It’s a 20th-century historical fiction story about friendship and war, with coming-of-age elements and a slightly haunted tone. The book is 384 pages in print and 10 hours and 9 minutes on audiobook.** Oxford, 1920. For the first time in its one-thousand-year history, Oxford University officially admits female students. Burning with dreams of equality, four young women move into neighboring rooms in Corridor 8. Beatrice, Dora, Marianne, and Otto—collectively known as The Eights—come from all walks of life, each driven by their own motives, each holding tight to their secrets, and are thrown into an unlikely, unshakable friendship. Dora was never meant to go to university, but, after losing both her brother and her fiancé on the battlefield, has arrived in their place. Politically-minded Beatrice, daughter of a famous suffragette, sees Oxford as a chance to make her own way - and some friends her own age. Otto was a nurse during the war but is excited to return to her socialite lifestyle in Oxford where she hopes to find distraction from the memories that haunt her. And finally Marianne, the quiet, clever daughter of a village pastor, who has a shocking secret she must hide from everyone, even her new friends, if she is to succeed. Among the historic spires, and in the long shadow of the Great War, the four women must navigate and support one another in a turbulent world in which misogyny is rife, influenza is still a threat, and the ghosts of the Great War don’t always remain dead.
