Seed7 - memory safety and management
Seed7 - memory safety and management
📢 Main event starts at 18:30 CET Join us for a deep dive into Seed7, a language shaped by Thomas Mertes’ decades-long pursuit of versatility, efficiency, and memory safety. Thomas will walk us through Seed7’s unique features: declarations, parameters, compile-time execution, parser mechanics, types as first-class citizens, templates, arrays, abstract data types, and the parser’s role in the run-time library. We’ll also look at the Seed7 Structured Syntax Definition, how semantic rules for constructs like for-loops are defined, and the Seed7 test suite. A live demo will follow. Memory safety and management are central topics. Thomas will discuss Seed7’s approach to performance, operating system guarantees, stack, heap, and global data, restrictions on memory access, safety opt-in and opt-out, handling unsafe code, and how Seed7 ensures safety. He’ll also cover OS function calls and string operations. Whether you’re curious about language design or interested in practical safety strategies, this session offers a clear look at Seed7’s architecture and philosophy. 🪙 We appreciate any **voluntary donations** on-site. ⏱️ Arrive early for pre-socializing—simple snacks and drinks will be provided. 🍕 After the event, we will relocate to a pizzeria (at your own expense).

PCE Philosophic Conversation in English
PCE Philosophic Conversation in English
PCE - "Philosophic Conversation in English" is a discussion event in English language which focuses on psychology, philosophy, self-consciousness and self-realization. The conversation is based on inclusive discussion rules. We will meet at at a restaurant where we will have a private room exclusively reserved for our event. At the beginning we will choose the two topics to discuss. Everybody can suggest a topic. Afterwards we will vote what topics to discuss. The person who suggests a winning topic will start the discussion by explaining his/her idea. Afterwards everybody gets his/her chance to make a statement. But you can also decide to remain silent and only listen, if you prefer that. We have a time limit for statements, so that everybody has enough time to speak. It is not allowed to interrupt somebody who is speaking. After a statement everybody can ask a question and the speaker will answer. After the first part there will be a 15 minutes break before we start the second part. Everybody is welcome to our event: We are interested in your thoughts and opinions! It is no problem if you arrive late and you can also leave whenever you want. Please don't bring pets to this event because the room is usually very crowded. Please make sure to register for the event to secure your seat! Please check out last event's topics via this link: [http://pce-topic.project-website.org](http://pce-topic.project-website.org/)

Tango Fundamentals 1 is a structured 6-week course designed to take your tango journey through the basic steps and figures of Argentine tango.

There is an option for classes without an online offer. Just write me a message. Single class: €28 / student €22 **This is for you if:** * You've tried tango once and want to go deeper * You've always wanted to learn but never knew where to start * You want a real foundation, not just a one-off workshop Spots are limited - this is a small group, so everyone gets proper attention.

I’ll cover why we chose a plugin architecture, how the system is structured, key challenges we faced and how the solution has evolved over time—ending with lessons learned for building extensible frontend platforms. **Dominic Bachmann - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-bachmann-645267319/)** **From Typos to Type Safety — Building a Typed Router for Angular** Route enums, path constant objects, flat route trees to avoid nesting complexity — Angular developers have invented all kinds of workarounds to bring some safety to navigation. But they all share the same problem: a second source of truth that you maintain by hand. In this talk, I'll share how I built angular-typed-router, a drop-in replacement that infers every valid path directly from your route configuration. You'll see the developer experience in action — full autocomplete, compile-time validation — and learn how interface augmentation, template literal types, and recursive conditionals make it work at zero runtime cost. **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-❤️🤝❤️ Sponsors ❤️🤝❤️ \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** **PushBased** PushBased is a close-knit group of IT experts offering their knowledge and services in #Angular #RxJS #NestJS #JavaScript #TypeScript #webperf #Nx and more.

Drunken Philosophy: What’s up with all the AI hate?
Drunken Philosophy: What’s up with all the AI hate?
**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
