Date: 2026.01.07 Start: 18:00 \* **Mingling** (30 minutes) \* **Rust is the future of Linux drivers** by [Leon Vak](https://rust.org.il/people/leon-vak) Language: (Hebrew) Length: 60 min I gave a talk about Rust in the Linux kernel back in 2024. Back then, it was mostly an experiment and honestly, there was a lot of debate around it. Even though I was excited, for my daily work—writing DMA and PCIe drivers for our customers—I still stuck with C. The situation felt shaky: one day Linus would say something positive, and the next day a lead maintainer would quit because of the "non-technical nonsense." But while the headlines were messy, the developers kept working quietly and closing the gaps. Fast forward to today, the "experiment" tag is officially gone. With the new Nova driver for NVIDIA and subsystems like Binder already running in Rust on millions of devices, it is no longer a question of "if," but "when." I decided it’s the right time to take a deep dive into what we have today and see if we are finally ready to move our daily driver work from C to Rust.

\#\# Full Agenda From: Rotem Gani \| Chen Amrani \| Efi Merdler Kravitz : \[Hebrew\] **Seize the automation - Turning a One-Off Fix into Org-Wide Automation** ​Every engineering team has that moment: a repetitive, error-prone change that needs to be applied across dozens of repositories. Everyone knows it should be automated — but somehow it never is. ​ This talk tells the real story of how one such "annoying but necessary" fix evolved into a fully-fledged AI-powered automation platform used across an organization. From: Ron Klein [Hebrew] **Use Caching and Hashing to avoid Crashing** ​Sure, your framework has a cache. Your CDN has one too. But do you really know what they’re doing? ​In this session, we’ll build a tiny in-memory cache on purpose - so we can break it, fix it, and understand what real caching systems are actually solving. We’ll explore common failure modes like stale data, race conditions, invalidation pain, and the dreaded thundering herd, then level up with ETags and conditional HTTP requests. ​You’ll leave with a clearer intuition for how caching really works - and how to use it to make your backend faster, calmer, and more resilient.

Join us in the search for the true, the good and the beautiful. Each meet is in one of two formats: a shared reading and open discussion of philosophical texts, or a continuing series of lectures based on the reading of a fascinating book of philosophy. Both formats are in Hebrew, with some reading of English texts, assisted whenever needed. We meet weekly Friday on 80 Rokach Boulevard, Tel Aviv, at the gardens of the Council for a Beautiful Israel.

Рассвет — это момент, когда город ещё не проснулся, а свет уже начинает писать свои первые мягкие штрихи. И именно в эти минуты Тель-Авив становится другим — тихим, прозрачным, почти камерным. ✨ На фотопрогулке в парке А-Яркон мы поймаем то, что невозможно увидеть днём: — туман над водой, — золотые лучи, пробивающиеся сквозь деревья, — первых бегунов и велосипедистов, — птиц, летящих так низко, будто специально для вашего кадра. 📸 Что будем делать: — разбирать настройки под утренний свет, — учиться работать с композицией и движением, — ловить отражения в воде, — искать мягкие цвета, которыми дышит раннее утро. Это прогулка, где каждый кадр — спокойный, живой и настоящий. И где вы почувствуете, что фотография — это не техника, а умение увидеть момент до того, как он исчезнет. Возьмите камеру, тёплую кофту и желание встретить новый день с красотой. Будет очень светло, очень тихо и очень вдохновляюще. 🌅✨ Запись по WhatsApp: 058-6776-375.

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Start the New Year off right! Join us as we get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event to distribute food at the Champion Food Pantry!

Here are complete details and our plan for this event: CHAMPION FOOD PANTRY: The Champion Food Pantry provides needed food to neighbors experiencing food insecurity. For this event, we’ll be volunteering to help with Food Distribution during client pick up times. Our group will receive on-the-spot training from some of their seasoned regular volunteers. PLAN FOR CHAMPION FOOD PANTRY: Please arrive by 2:45pm. Our volunteer time will be from 3:00 to 6:00pm. LOCATION & PARKING: The Champion Food Pantry is located at 1460 S. Champion Ave in Columbus. Parking is located in the lot on Frebis across from the pantry. Please enter through the door marked "Volunteers enter here” on Frebis Ave. A map has been uploaded to the photos.

If something unavoidable comes up, please update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. No shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will mak you ineligible for future CMG Gives Back events.

Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need. PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing.
