"It's Ethical." Says Who?
What should guide your choices—your feelings, society’s expectations, God, or something else entirely?
In *Who Is the Final Authority in Ethics?*, Ayn Rand takes on a question most people never examine explicitly, yet answer every day through their actions.
If you’ve ever felt torn between what you want, what others expect, and what you think is “right,” this discussion will give you a new way to approach that conflict.
This session is designed both for long-time readers and for those completely new to Rand. You don’t need any prior background—just a willingness to think seriously about how you make decisions and why.

Guilty or Not Guilty? Beyond Reasonable Doubt
Beyond Reasonable Doubt is our most experiential social yet and tickets are officially live!
We have partnered with a former Detective of 24 years to bring you a **[guided interactive day](https://www.thisisdumo.com/16-05)** where you will step inside the case from the moment the 999 call drops - evaluating evidence, taking on roles as detectives, CSIs, pathologists, barristers and jury members - all the way to a live crown court trial where one of your group stands accused.
Part live investigation.
Part courtroom drama.
Except you're not in the audience, you're the cast.
**Could you solve a real murder case?**

“Privacy preserving age verification” is bullsh*t
Many governments are now pushing age verification and VPN restriction laws, lobbied by Big Tech companies, with no visible popular demand for it.
Is that truly to "protect children", or is it better explained by desire to control and censor online speech, while appeasing their corporate donors?
Let's discuss the future of the Internet, freedom from censorship, privacy vs. security trade-off, and other related topics.
To kick off the conversation, we will look at Cory Doctorow's essay on age verification and "Online Safety Act" called ***[“Privacy preserving age verification” is bullshit](https://doctorow.medium.com/privacy-preserving-age-verification-is-bullshit-0aefd53019e0)***.
*<...>politicians all over the world demanded a kind of impossible encryption: encryption that works perfectly when it’s doing something legitimate, like keeping hackers from pushing malware to your pacemaker or stealing your life’s savings or listening in on you through your phone’s microphone, but also they require that this encryption offer no protection to criminals, drug dealers, terrorists, child abusers, and other miscreants.*
*This really is like water that’s not wet.*

**🗣️ Katrina Petrevice: Caching in Scala using Ref**
Caching in memory is often one of the first strategies used to improve system performances. However, implementing caching in a purely functional way introduces unique challenges, specifically around state management and testability. In this talk, we will look at how to utilise functional programming principles with [Ref](https://typelevel.org/cats-effect/docs/std/ref), while maintaining clarity and composability. We will also deep dive into some common pitfalls and look into practical ways to test Ref effectively.
⭐ Katrina Petrevice ⭐
Katrina comes from a non–computer science background and was first introduced to Scala while working at JPMorgan. She credits much of her Scala knowledge to hands-on experience within her team, where she works on building and maintaining data pipelines and managing data systems. Since then, she has developed a strong interest in functional programming and now co-leads the Functional Programming Group at JPMorgan, where she helps share knowledge and foster a community around these ideas.
**🗣️ Caroline Morton: Accidental Functional Programming in Rust (From an Epidemiologist's Perspective)**
I don't have a background in functional programming - and I never set out to write it. But somewhere between writing trait-based epidemiological pipelines, composing data transformations, and leaning hard on Result, enums, and pattern matching, I started hearing from others: “That's pretty functional.”
In this talk, I'll explore what it means to write “functional-ish” Rust as someone solving real-world scientific problems. I'll walk through the patterns I reach for - like chaining iterators, avoiding shared state, and embracing expressive types - and reflect on which functional programming ideas emerge naturally in Rust, even if you're not trying.
I'll also share how designing for epidemiologists - most of whom are used to chaining functions in Python (like Pandas) or R - has pushed me toward creating ergonomic Rust APIs with Python and R bindings. These tools aim to feel familiar to scientists while leveraging Rust's power and safety under the hood.
This is a talk for functional programmers curious about Rust, and for Rustaceans wondering if they've been functional all along. No formal theory required - just real code, real use cases, and a pragmatic perspective from someone building public health tools in Rust.

Dr. Caroline Morton is a medical doctor, epidemiologist, software engineer, and PhD candidate specialising in synthetic data, epidemiology, and Rust. With 60 peer-reviewed papers and two books on software, she combines deep technical expertise with a commitment to improving scientific workflows.
Caroline co-founded the first [Women in Rust](https://www.meetup.com/women-in-rust/) group, fostering diversity and encouraging more women to explore opportunities in systems programming. She leads an open-source project improving codelist management in epidemiology using Rust, creating efficient, reliable tools for health data research.
Her PhD focuses on synthetic data methods for epidemiology, particularly using Rust to generate large, realistic datasets. A strong advocate for open science and reproducibility, she contributes extensively to improving software practices through publications, workshops, and open-source projects.
🏡 **Accessing the building**
The office space (125 London Wall) has two entrances:
* ✅ Use the street level entrance, where the Elsevier volunteers we will be welcoming people (this is the easiest one to find, usually people arrive from there)
* ❌ Do not use the entrance above that connects to the barbican walkways. Security guards should redirect you to the street level entrance if you find this one instead.
Please try to arrive by 7PM, or the street level entrance will be closed. If you do arrive afterwards, let us know on [meetup.com](https://www.meetup.com/london-scala/events/314293345/) or [Discord #general](https://discord.gg/aRCVCHmHES), and someone will come to fetch you.

CMG Gives Back: Serve Brunch at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN!
Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event:
FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.
PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.
LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details:
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1
week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events!
Should be another good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan
