MASZK sör/fröccs a Grundon
MASZK sör/fröccs a Grundon
Agilitás és beszélgetés és sör és fröccs. Vagy limonádé, kinek mi. Gyertek egy kötetlen találkozóra, ahol ha hozol egy elakadást, vagy ügyet, talán még beszélünk is róla, és segítünk továbblendülni. De ha nem, az is oké. Az asztal MASZK néven lesz, ha nem találsz minket.

Session #28 - Stoicism, Broicism and other intersections
Session #28 - Stoicism, Broicism and other intersections
*“...whatsoever thou doest, whereof thou thyself art the cause, to do it justly: which will be, if both in thy resolution and in thy action thou have no further end, than to do good unto others, as being that, which by thy natural constitution, as a man, thou art bound unto”* **Marcus Aurelius Antonino - Meditations.** **(Session in english!)** Stoicism, was a philosophy started by Zeno of Citium. Centuries after Marcus Aurelius, the "philosopher King" offered through *Meditations,* a direct and personal account on his thoughts and ideas. His message is still widely popular nearly 2,000 years later. More recently Stoicism re-emerged as a hack for self-mastery, achievement and life success. Picked and reinterpreted by modern voices such as Ryan Holiday, and amplified in more controversial forms by figures like Andrew Tate. In this session we will have the opportunity to focus on Marcus Aurelius' *Meditations* and how it has been passed through a filter of today's youtube pop-culture. If you like this philosophy, especially the new version, or hate this philosophy, especially the new version, please accept my most sincere invitation to assist to our session! If you have no idea about what this is, this will certainly be useful, too. We will focus on: *self-accountability, emotional control, power and masculinity, denial of mental health, competition, life as conquest, and finally how these ideas intersect with relationships, gender, and politics.* **Introduction of guests (15 minutes)** We start with a short introduction of the guests, and how familiar are they with stoicism (the classic or modern version) **Questions (1 hour and 45 minutes)** 1. Does classic stoicism and the new broicism intersect? The case of Ryan Holiday. 2. Radical self-accountability. Can it backfire? 3. Emotional control. What were Marcus Aurelius' actual takes on the mater? 4. Masculinity. Why is Stoicism often framed as a masculine philosophy? 5. Is emotional restraint a strength — or a social expectation placed on men? 6. Do women have the possibility to choose a stoic way of life, without assuming the traditional female role? 7. Can emotional detachment conflict with intimacy? 8. Is pop-stoicism more a cause or a consequence of today's cooling gender relations? 9. Can Stoicism help with depression? or hide it? 10. Is vulnerability an act of weakness? 11. Where is the line between discipline and self-neglect? 12. How aligned is the idea of brutal competitive life achievement to stoicism? 13. Would a classic stoic pursue dominance, influence or wealth? How important was it for them? 14. Why now? What can be the reasons for stoicism's new found popularity? 15. Is “focus on what you control” psychologically realistic in complex societies? 16. Can Stoicism be used to rationalize hierarchy, oppression and inequality? *** **RSVP:** Please confirm your attendance here on Meetup to save your space and if you cannot assist, yield your space to another person in the waiting list. We welcome donations from 1.000 HUF (min 400 HUF) to keep the costs of the meetup. **If you order food, or alcohol-free wines, you dont need to donate for the group. Thank you!**
Android Budapest 2026 May
Android Budapest 2026 May
Join us for a special edition of the Android Budapest meetup in May! This time, we’re collaborating with mDevCamp, the Prague-based mobile dev conference. You will have an opportunity to get a free ticket to the conference! Before the summer break, you’ll have another opportunity to learn more about Android and meet fellow mobile devs! We’ll have two great talks to set the tone of the evening - this time you’ll hear from two organizers of our meetup, on the topics of Kotlin Multiplatform and screen recording on Android. **📜 Schedule:** **18:00 - 18:30: Gathering and socializing** **18:30 - 19:15: First talk** **19:15 - 19:45: Break** **19:45 - 20:15: Second talk** **20:05 - : More socializing!** **—** **🔷 Going Multiplatform with Your Android App - Márton Braun, JetBrains** Existing Android apps are in a great position to expand into Kotlin Multiplatform: you might already be using patterns, libraries, and APIs that work on more platforms than just Android. With Compose Multiplatform, you can build an app with a fully shared Kotlin codebase, targeting iOS, desktop, and even the web! In this talk, we’ll look at how you can migrate an existing Android app to multiplatform. As this can be a significant engineering effort for an existing, well-established app, we’ll also discuss how to plan and organize the required changes, and how to adopt KMP incrementally across your codebase without disrupting day-to-day development. **🔷 When MediaProjection Isn't Enough - Building a Custom In-App Session Recorder - István Juhos, Spoke** Debugging user issues gets so much easier when you can see exactly what they experienced. While off-the-shelf solutions exist to integrate screen recording into our apps, they didn't give us the quality, flexibility, or control we needed. So, our team built our own native, in-app session recording tool for Android. In this talk, I'll share why we decided to go in-house, how we tackled the technical and UX hurdles along the way, and what we learned about recording high-quality video and audio data. We'll dive into tricky bits like exploring - and discarding - the MediaProjection API, handling codecs and muxers across devices, designing recording controls that stay out of the user's way, playing back recordings, and managing background uploads without draining your users' battery or patience. — 🏢🍴 Thanks to [Supercharge](https://supercharge.io/careers) for hosting us in their lovely office, and the organizers of [mDevCamp](https://mdevcamp.eu) for the food and the drinks! 🚪 Doors open at 18:00 and the first talk starts at 18:30! 🗓️ The event is free but requires registration, so please RSVP here and don’t forget to update your response if it changes! 📸 We plan to take photos, so if you would not like to appear on them, please tell one of the organizers! **🎤 We are always looking for new presenters, so if you have an idea for a talk, please reach out to us at meetup@androidbudapest.com or submit at [https://androidbudapest.com/talkidea](https://androidbudapest.com/talkidea)!**

Gyere és folytasd az olvasmányod a csendes könyvklubunkon a Fővárosi Szabó Ervin Könyvtárban: hozd magaddal az aktuális könyvedet, merülj el benne egy órácskát, majd oszd meg velünk, amit olvastál. 🗺 **Hogyan találsz meg minket:** A Központi Könyvtár fő épületének **Metszéspont** termében leszünk (régi tanulótér): a könyvtárba belépve haladj tovább a liftekig, de mielőtt elérnéd őket, fordulj balra a mosdók irányába.

The Career Reset: Surviving and Thriving in the AI Economy
Meeting Link: [Technology.ai Session : The Career Reset: Surviving and Thriving in the AI Economy | Meeting-Join | Microsoft Teams](https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/221840705946574?p=SOyAuqJBSXJtjN4j9B) Artificial intelligence is not just changing jobs — it is changing what it means to have a job. This session explores how AI agents, automation, and software platforms are transforming corporate work, professional careers, and entrepreneurship. Students will learn which skills are becoming obsolete, which are becoming valuable, and how roles are shifting from doing work to directing and supervising intelligent systems. The talk also introduces the emerging “one-person company,” new labor models, and how future workers may build businesses instead of applying for jobs. Attendees will leave with practical guidance on what to study, what to practice, and how to prepare for a career in the AI economy. In short, what do do when: \- Your Future Boss Might Be an Algorithm \- Your Future Lawyer Might Be an Algorithm \- Your Future Doctor Might Be an Algorithm \- Your Future Teacher Might Be an Algorithm

**ProductTank NoVA is back!** After a brief hiatus, we are relaunching the chapter with a format that cuts out the fluff and gets straight to the reality of building.

The framing for the talks is simple: *"Here is what I'm building, and here is what I'm stuck on."* We want to look at the messy, 0-to-1 reality of integrating AI into your workflows and products. *(Want to share what you are working on? Reach out! The bar is low-pressure, just 10–12 minutes to talk about a real AI problem you are trying to solve.)* **Agenda:** * **5:30 PM - 6:00 PM:** Doors open, networking, & name tags * **6:00 PM - 6:10 PM:** Welcome + Chapter Relaunch Intro * **6:10 PM - 7:30 PM:** Lightning Talks (Three 12-min talks + 5 mins Q&A each, with a 5-min stretch break) * **7:30 PM - 8:00 PM:** Open networking * **8:00 PM:** Soft close **Location & Logistics:** Herndon Fortnightly Library (Extended Hours Meeting Room) 768 Center St, Herndon, VA 20170 * **Parking:** We'll meet at the library, located just behind the Herndon Municipal Center. There is plenty of free public parking available around the municipal center. * **Metro & Bus:** Take the Silver Line to Herndon Metro Station, then connect via Fairfax Connector Route 921 or 950 to Historic Downtown Herndon. * **Driving (via VA-267/Dulles Toll Rd):** Take Exit 10 North (Centreville Rd, which becomes Elden St).

Initially exploring the acquisition of an existing company, he ultimately chose to **build his own window cleaning business** after recognizing the simplicity, consistency, and opportunity within the industry. His journey reflects a growing trend of entrepreneurs moving from corporate roles into tangible, service-based businesses with clear demand and scalable potential. *** ## **About the Business** Squeegee Samurai provides **professional window cleaning services for residential and commercial clients**, delivering immediate, visible results — what James calls *“clarity through pane.”* In an industry where the fundamentals haven’t changed, Squeegee Samurai focuses on **high-quality, traditional techniques** paired with strong customer experience and operational discipline. As a solo operator, James currently manages every aspect of the business — from marketing and pricing to service delivery, quality control, and operations — while laying the groundwork for future growth. *** ## **Who James Is Looking to Hear From** James would especially value feedback from: * Business owners who have scaled service-based businesses * Operators of route-based or recurring revenue businesses * Entrepreneurs who have transitioned from corporate roles to hands-on work * Founders who have built teams from a solo operation * Anyone with experience in pricing, local marketing, or service scaling *** ## **Current Business Focus & Challenge** James is in the **early growth stage**, focused on building a foundation for scale through recurring storefront contracts and refining his pricing model. He is seeking feedback on: * Pricing strategy in a competitive, price-sensitive market * Whether to display pricing publicly or use promotional strategies * When and how to invest in advertising (where, how much, and when) * Timing and approach to hiring and team building * Balancing market penetration with long-term profitability This is a critical stage where the right decisions can significantly impact long-term growth and scalability. *** ## **Why Attend?** * Gain insight into building a service business from the ground up * Provide feedback on pricing, marketing, and scaling strategy * Connect with entrepreneurs navigating similar growth stages * Be part of a practical, real-world business conversation *** ## **About 1 Million Cups** 1 Million Cups is a national program that brings entrepreneurs and communities together to learn, connect, and grow through presentations and discussion. Loudoun’s chapter meets on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays each month. Join us on **May 13** for coffee, connection, and a conversation around building, pricing, and scaling a service-based business. We look forward to seeing you there.
