Combinatorial optimization problems arise across logistics, scheduling, and engineering, and C++ remains a language of choice when performance matters. This lecture takes a practical look at solving such problems in C++, using the Electric Vehicle Routing Problem as a running example. We begin with an exact solver, formulating the problem as a mixed-integer program and trying to solve it through GLPK's C API directly from C++. Exact methods, however, quickly hit their limits on real-world instances. The second half of the talk turns to metaheuristics: how they are designed, why C++ is particularly well suited for implementing them, and what design choices matter most in practice. We'll walk through a concrete implementation, touching on data structures for fast neighborhood evaluation, generic algorithm design with templates, and the performance considerations that separate a prototype from a production-ready solver. The goal is not to advocate for one approach over another, but to show how C++ supports the full spectrum of optimization techniques.

🌞 We are back with May meetup of AWS User Group Ljubljana! We will be hosting two outstanding speakers this month 🍻 \-\-\- Our eBPF specialist, Teodor Podobnik is back. This month he will present how he built an eBPF-based Firewall from scratch. A quick introduction to eBPF and a dive how to filter network packets on the kernel level. \-\-\- Sometimes admins get frightened when a pentester or auditor asks for their cloud credentials. Grega Prešeren will discuss why often times this is neccessary to get useful security guidelines and eliminate as much risks as possible. It is related to security testing methodologies, and results depend on chosen methodology. See you there! 🍻❄️ 📅 Agenda: * 🎤 Teodor Podobnik: Building an eBPF-based Firewall from Scratch * 🎤 Grega Prešeren: Security testing of cloud environments * 📍 Location: Sputnik, Tržaška 128, Ljubljana * 🕕 Date: May 28, 2026 at 18:00 🙏 Please confirm your attendance so we can prepare the space accordingly.

📈🍺 LJUBLJANA BEER & BUSINESS: THE INVESTING EDITION \| NETWORKING \+ MASTERMIND @ LOO\-BLAH\-NAH Beer & Business is slowly becoming one of the most interesting weekly networking events in Ljubljana. So this Thursday… we’re running it back again. But this time the topic is: 👉 INVESTING IN 2026 Because honestly… it feels like the world is changing faster than most people can process. AI. Power. Memory. Data centers. Space. Automation. Everyone is trying to figure out: “What happens next?” and “How do you position yourself for it?” ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔥 THIS WEEK’S DISCUSSION TOPICS 📈 Are we in an AI bubble — or just getting started? 🚀 SpaceX is reportedly IPOing in June at a $1.75 trillion valuation. Do you buy? 💾 If you invested €25k into a memory stock like SanDisk a year ago… you would be sitting on €1M+ today. Why didn't you predict this? Are you already too late to invest? ⚡ Bloom Energy, Applied Digital, IREN… is the real AI trade actually power infrastructure? 🌍 What industries are about to explode over the next 5 years? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This is NOT a lecture. This is an open-floor networking + mastermind session where ambitious people exchange ideas, predictions, perspectives, opportunities, strategies, and theories over drinks. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 WHAT TO EXPECT 🍻 relaxed networking atmosphere 🤝 ambitious international crowd 🧠 future-focused conversations 🚀 startup & investing discussions 💻 founders + freelancers + creators 📈 business & wealth discussions 🌍 internationals, entrepreneurs & curious people Whether you: • invest • build startups • follow AI • create content • run a business • love technology • or just enjoy discussing the future… you’ll fit right in. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📍 DETAILS 📅 Thursday, 28 May 🕖 From 19:00 onwards 📍 Pub LOO-BLAH-NAH Center, Ljubljana ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 👥 WHO SHOULD COME 📈 Investors 🚀 Startup founders 💼 Business owners 💻 Freelancers 🎥 Creators 🌍 Digital nomads 🧠 Curious ambitious people ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 BUSINESS NETWORKING GROUP Join the WhatsApp group to network with other entrepreneurs, founders, freelancers, creators, and ambitious people in Ljubljana: 👉 https://chat.whatsapp.com/JosnrqMBjQlLO9ogsWJUnt ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 👉 FINAL NOTE Good investing conversations are rare. Good investing conversations with beer are even rarer. See you Thursday 🍻📈

Join the Ljubljana Embedded Meetup on **May 28 at 18:00** at Visionect (Tržaška cesta 118, Ljubljana, 3rd floor), where Firmware Engineer **Aljaž Krašna** will share how Visionect navigated the cybersecurity certification process under the new EN 18031 standard. Cybersecurity compliance is becoming unavoidable for connected embedded devices. The EU Radio Equipment Directive now mandates that internet-connected radio equipment meet the requirements of EN 18031 — a standard that covers network protection, personal data safeguards, and protection against fraudulent use. For many embedded teams, the path from product to certification is anything but straightforward. In this talk, Aljaž will walk through Visionect's hands-on experience: what EN 18031 actually requires, how the team structured and prepared the technical documentation, what surprised them along the way, and what the certification process looked like in practice. The goal is to give other embedded teams a realistic picture of what's involved — not just the theory, but the real decisions, tradeoffs, and lessons learned. The meetup is open to the public and will be held in Slovene language. The lecture will be followed by a group discussion and socializing with snacks and drinks.

In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** https://youtube.com/live/BltmWMH1zG0?feature=share
