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/)

Anti-fragility of a software characterizes the benefit derived from the variability in faults and errors that have effected the system. Dependable software systems can learn from incidents & poor practices, how to avoid and to deal with them, to increase availability and performance. Despite their growing complexity and increasing size, modern software applications must satisfy strict quality requirements that impose short defect fixing and release cycles. To reduce the developers teams workload, and pressure to produce high-quality software on time, many software engineering tools and concepts are subject to continuous extensive development and improvement. In this talk, we will take a closer look at the technical aspects of anti-fragile software systems and how teams deal with errors and reliability. Through the technical analysis of anti-fragility and resilience we will discuss the advantages and drawbacks of systems and techniques, and not at least the relation between anti-fragility in the development process and the anti-fragility of the resulting software product. The audience can expect the topics such as design & operating principles, fault tolerance, fault handling, e.g. automatic software repair, fault injections, and TDD. The overview of methods and principles should encourage developers to adopt anti-fragility and resilience principles into their software architectures. **About the Speaker** **Iryna Dohndorf** is a software engineer at Karakun, where she works on customer projects using the Java technology stack.

We begin with a concise overview of how the Java heap is structured and managed, then move to the command line with jmap—demonstrating how to force heap dumps on demand and extract live histograms to spot memory hogs at a glance. Next, we switch to VisualVM for a hands-on look at opening, inspecting, and—crucially—comparing heap dumps to pinpoint leaks and growth patterns between states. The session culminates with advanced techniques: writing JavaScript snippets inside VisualVM to traverse the heap graph, filter objects, and automate custom analyses that go beyond the built-in tooling. Whether triaging a production incident or hardening an application, attendees will leave with actionable tactics to turn “heaps of trouble” into clear, debuggable insights. **About the Speaker** **Robert C Kahlert** is a Senior Software Researcher with Posedio. He hails from symbolic AI research and has worked on products and projects in pharmacology, defense, medicine, NLP and resource exploration. His interests include software engineering, compilers, cloud computing, knowledge representation and databases. In his spare time, he enjoys making the most of Vienna's amazing museums.

This is a group for meeting new people, eating brunch, and having discussions about science, life, philosophy, politics, and people. Anybody is free to join, and we charge no fees. This discussion group aims to have the absolute minimal level of structure necessary to ensure the conversation remains engaging to the majority of people present. In particular, we \*don't\* have fixed order of speaking or timed statements. So far, the balance we've struck is enforcing hand raising when conversation gets intense in order to minimize interruption, and to give the chair (me!) the power to occasionally call a snap election on the conversation topic.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
