The Language Cooking Lab= Learn Italian, Cook Italian, Enjoy Together.
**In Italy, language is learned at the table.**
We speak while we cook.
We correct while we taste.
We share while we eat.
**The Language Cooking Lab is an immersive evening where complete beginners learn the fundamentals of Italian while preparing an authentic Italian dish; tonight will be Pasta alla Carbonara — guided by an Italian professional chef with a background in language teaching.**
This is not a lecture.
This is not a demonstration.
It is hands-on, voice-on, pan-on.
***

We prepare Carbonara as it is done in Rome:
* Guanciale
* Eggs
* Pecorino Romano
* Freshly cracked black pepper
* Pasta
**No cream. No shortcuts.**
You will learn:
* Proper timing and temperature control
* How to create the creamy texture without scrambling
* The cultural story behind the dish
**Carbonara is simple.**
**Simplicity requires precision.**

Board and card games at the Café
WHAT we play. As you know, we have two events, one more for social games on Thursday and another for **strategic games** on **Monday**. Depending on what people bring, we may play brainy games, not limited to chess and classic games. So, feel free to bring other ones.
And this is only indicative. Some games like Decrypto fit both events, **and if people feel like playing a social game on Monday or a more strategic one on Thursday, they are free to do so.**
WHERE. Because we have many strategic players on Monday and these games take longer, we moved to a café closing much later than the previous one.
CHATBOX USE. In the event chatbox, you are invited to discuss the games you bring and want to play for this session. The idea is to gather people around game tables beforehand. Of course, it's also possible to show up and arrange this after the introduction round, which starts at 7h15.
HOST. If you want to become a host and have your board game event for a specific game with a small group of people or in another place, Great! Let me know, and I'll help you set up your event with this group. Hosts don't pay fees.
TIMING: Because strategy games are often longer, we start at 7 pm (instead of 8 pm on Thursdays). So, those who play long games can have 3 hours and 30 minutes for their game. You can come later, but you may have to wait before joining a game.
WHERE. We play upstairs. Ask which room at the bar downstairs.
DRINK. You have to order a drink at the bar, pay for it, and come up with it.
**PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, THE AUTOBUS ACCEPTS CASH ONLY.**
EVENT REGISTRATION.
Please register to allow us adequate venue planning.
IN CASE OF A WAITLIST. Please, out of respect for people on the waiting list, don't cancel later than 7 PM the day before so they can plan their evening correctly. If you are on the waiting list, please cancel your attendance if you change your mind and can no longer come.
Don't hesitate to send me a message to comment or make suggestions!
Take care and see you soon!

Freedom, Safety, Risk & Reward
How are the dynamics of freedom, safety, risk and reward interrelated?
Is it simply a question of how we can always maximize both freedom and reward?
What roles do risk and safety/security play in this system?
Can freedom and security be considered simply both as rewards, each with its own values and merits?
Are freedom and safety (not) nevertheless zero-sum related, more of one entailing less of the other?
How are freedom and risk-taking related?
Does risk-taking (not) by definition always mean less security?
The concept of risk can mean:
1)the probability of something bad occurring ("frequency") and/or
2)how bad that bad thing can be ("amplitude")
What implications do each of these two different types of risk carry regarding both freedom and security?
How are freedom, risk and recklessness interrelated?
What does the concept "freedom to make the best choices" mean?
Is individual freedom at the expense of safety (not) over-prioritized in our current world culture (possibly in some regional cultures more than in others)?
Or, seemingly contrarily, is our culture/society in fact overly-obsessed about safety?
Is it true (or not) that risk-taking always leads to greater potential reward?
Is risk-taking nowadays - possibly as a result of (and/or to promote) capitalist culture? - (not) _ethically_ overvalued?
Are some regional cultures in today's world more reward-driven (for example, to become rich, glamorous, famous and powerful) than others? What should be our ideal culture/attitudes regarding rewards and the earning of rewards?
What values should we give to freedom, risk, reward and safety in a _war_ situation?
In our society/world, should there be _fewer_ or _more_ rules with regards to risk-taking, security and reward?

**Topics**
**Finding Java Memory Leaks with Heap Dumps (JDK 25)**
This talk will demonstrates how to identify, analyze, and fix Java memory leaks using heap dumps and practical JVM diagnostic tools in JDK 25.
**About Badr**
Badr Kacimi is a Senior Software Engineer at ABN AMRO Bank and GenAI Whisperer at Blue Harvest Belgium.
With a strong Java background in large-scale banking and booking platforms, he now builds financial risk models in Python.
**Vibe Coding a Home Server on the Raspbery Pi: What AI-Native Development Actually Looks Like**
It's been over 3 years since the release of ChatGPT and the innovations in the AI space still do not seem to be slowing down.
On the contrary, agentic tooling like Claude Code and Codex have since launched, kept improving, and according to some have now recently reached an inflection point where they can handle long running coding tasks (mostly) unsupervised.
Let's find out together if those claims hold up and what that new AI native development looks like.
We'll do this by showcasing a very personal case study.
Over the past few months, I've developed a home-server setup on my raspberry pi with tons of weird and quirky apps all developped with varying degrees of AI assistance.
Join me to find out how that went, how much time I saved (or wasted!) and my biggest take-aways and future plans.
**About Wim**
Wim is a freelance Software Engineer from Belgium with around 7 years of experience. He focuses on backend web development, using the Spring Framework on a daily basis.
He's a firm believer in learning something new everyday (not just about java or spring!) and doing so in public is always the greatest motivator.
So he blogs on wimdetroyer.com, and talks occasionally in front of an audience when he can muster up the courage.
**Fraud detection on card transactions, Supervised learning with extreme imbalanced data using Python**
I will explain:
* The context and the goal of this work (supervised learning)
* The challenges related to the data (availability and preparation)
* The strategies to apply when dealing with severe class imbalance
**About Frank**
Research and development engineer in computer science, Java developer, passionate about physics, astronomy, and cosmology.

Using Philosophy to Cope with Current Events
So this month's prompt is more general. I think we can all agree that we are living in "unique" times that require coping skills. I think that one role and/or purpose of philosophy is to help us deal with our daily lives and our "unique" times. So, let's share our feelings and thoughts about which philosopher/philosophy we turn to in order to deal with our crazy events. Who/what helps you stay focused in your daily life and helps you sleep at night. I find that Stoicism with a little philosophical pessimism mixed in goes a long way in helping me deal with what I see as very destructive, fearful and mean spirited public policies at both the state and federal levels. Hope to see you on March 28th!
From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**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
**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.

TBA
