Welcome back to Papers We Love, Zurich! In this session, Daniel Galán Pascual, a PhD student in the Information Security group at ETH Zürich, will present "**A Gentle Introduction to Ownership Types in Rust**". Ownership types are what give Rust its memory safety guarantees: the compiler statically rules out entire classes of bugs (use-after-free, data races, dangling pointers) with no garbage collector and no runtime cost. Through worked examples, the talk builds a working understanding of ownership in practice, drawing on the conceptual model of "[A Grounded Conceptual Model for Ownership Types in Rust](https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.04134)" and its accompanying Aquascope tool. **Why care?** * ***For systems programmers***: ownership types are a general approach to resource management that shows up across many languages, with Rust being the most prominent industrial example. The intuition you build means finally making sense of borrow checker errors when they matter most, both in Rust and beyond it. * ***For PL and type-theory enthusiasts***: ownership types have deep connections to linear and affine type theory. Seeing them in an industrial language reveals how theory meets real-world complexity. The talk will be 45-60 minutes, followed by discussion, Q&A and snacks. No prior background in type systems or Rust is required. However, basic systems programming background will be beneficial.

### **CROSSING THE RUBICON** Have you ever made a choice that changed everything? A moment where the door slammed shut behind you, and the only way out was going through? On Thursday, April 30th, we are gathering for a ZST mainstage evening of true stories about those life-altering leaps, irreversible decisions, and the glorious (or disastrous;-) aftermath of saying "why not!" "*Ships are safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are built for.*" — John A. Shedd ### **ARE YOU ALL IN?** We’ve all stood on that edge. Maybe it was the moment you finally hit "un-subscribe" from an unfulfilling job, the night you committed to a FWB "situationship," or that impulsive decision to move outside the city where there's only one bus per hour. Once you roll the dice, there’s no turning back. Whether you ended up exactly where you needed to be or found yourself in a completely unexpected reality, we want to hear your truth. ### **MOMENTS OF NO RETURN:** * **The Leap of Faith:** That career pivot or international move that felt like jumping without a parachute. * **The Bridge Burned:** When you finally stood your ground, spoke your truth, and knew things would never be the same. * **The Point of Impact:** A split-second decision—heroic, hilarious, or heartbreaking—that changed forever who you are today. ### **JOIN THE FRAY** Whether you’re a seasoned teller or just realized you have the perfect story while reading this, your voice belongs on our stage. Not ready to bare your soul? Come for the drama, stay for the community, and help us vote for the "Best Storytelling of the Night.

Hares (someone to set the route) are Premature C\*cksucker and Out of Africa. We will play [Mafia ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game))on trail. Come join us! **Where**: Bag drop at Affoltern Bahnhof Mobility. Look for English speakers wearing running gear. **When:** We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm. There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards. **All Welcome:** If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know: • We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful. • The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun. • 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further. • The '*Hare*', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time. • There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change. • **After Trail**, we group for \~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This '*Circle*' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards. **Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?** If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it. 'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.* We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

**🔥 ECSTATIC DANCE ZÜRICH — FREEDOM DANCE PARTY 🔥** "TURUL ASCENT" channels the mythic Turul madár as a medicine of vision and protection: a breath-led, airborne journey that opens with slow, grounding chants and wind-like flutes, then unfurls into buoyant movement—lifts, spirals, and light-footed flight—underscored by ritual drums and shimmering pads that evoke sky, sun and horizon; the ecstatic peak invites panoramic improvisation where dancers embody the Turul’s vigilant sweep, followed by a gentle, rooted descent with warm drones and communal grounding to carry the bird’s clarity and guardianship into everyday life. Please get your ticket on Eventfrog (mandatory) [https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/miscellaneous/ecstatic-dance-turul-ascent-authentic-movement-sound-7452011002860727119.html](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/miscellaneous/ecstatic-dance-turul-ascent-authentic-movement-sound-7452011002860727119.html) **🎟 Tickets at door: late bird ticket price + 10 CHF (Cash / TWINT)** Please note: at most of our events 20-50 beautiful souls are dancing with us.

**Freie und gefühlsverbundene Begleitung von Kindern, Jugendlichen und Schülern – Freude am realen Leben entwickeln** **Für Eltern, Erziehende, Lehrpersonen Sozialpädagogen und Interessierte** **Ablauf:** Kennenlernen: ab 8.30 4 Module: 9.00 – 10.30, 11.00 – 12.30, 14.30 – 16.00, 16.30 – 18.00 Verpflegung: am Seminarort (mit Küche) oder im Restaurant. Kinderbetreuung ist möglich Im ganzen Erziehungs- und Sozialwesen stellt sich die Frage, wie eine freie und nachhaltige Zusammenarbeit zustande kommen kann, die von menschlicher Verbundenheit und Freude am Leben getragen ist. Eine Grundlage ist, dass die Erzieher dem anderen Menschen zugeneigt sind, ein grosses Interesse am anderen und allen Vorgängen in der Welt haben und sich gerne psychologisch immer weiter bilden wollen. Man muss wissen, dass jeder Mensch darauf aus ist, Bedeutung zu haben und dazugehören zu können. Verweigert sich ein Kind, ist eine Jugendliche heftig, zieht sich ein Mädchen in ihr Zimmer zurück und ist nicht ansprechbar, verweigert sich ein Junge beim Lernen, lässt sich ein Jugendlicher immer wieder bitten und macht scheinbar nie mit, dann ist das erklärbar, wenn man neugierig sein kann. Es gibt immer eine nachvollziehbare und meist unbewusste Eigen-Logik. Lernen wir diese kennen, kommen wir emotional näher. Alle Eltern und Erzieher machen es so gut sie können. Doch oft stehen sie zunächst vor einem Rätsel. Es braucht viel Wissen darüber, wie man den seelischen Haushalt, die Eigen-Logik und die unverstandenen Gefühlsüberzeugungen im Alltag erfassen kann. An diesem Seminar erarbeiten wir uns, wie eine freie Kooperation in verschiedensten Situationen aussehen kann, die auf einem Verständnis von Fühlen, Denken und Verhalten aller Beteiligten beruht. Diese Zusammenarbeit gelingt, wenn die Jugend erleben kann, wie befriedigend es ist, das reale Leben mit all den Herausforderungen und Aufgaben forschend anzugehen. Wenn es gelingt, ein eigenständiges Leben mit anderen verbunden gestalten zu können, ist das gesamte Leben reichhaltig und spannend. Sie können die Einladung sehr gerne an andere Interessierte weiterleiten.Wir freuen uns auf einen lehrreichen gemeinsamen Tag. Es ist eine Reduktion der Kosten möglich
