Mark your calendars: the next Haskell Utrecht Meetup will be on February 2nd. We will be back in the University Library - room 0.21 - in the City Center. Note that you can park your bicycle under the library if you enter through the central courtyard. We hope to see you there! We have two speakers confirmed, Jaro Reinders and Niek Mulleners. Agenda: * 19:15 Doors open * 19:30 Welcome * 19:35 **Jaro Reinders - Algebraic Effects for Verified Compilers** * Break * 20:30 **Niek Mulleners - Programming with Holes, Types, and Tests** * 21:00-ish Finish * Drinks @ Florin **Algebraic Effects for Verified Compilers - Jaro Reijnders** Algebraic effects are a promising approach to reason about programs with side effects. Recent work on interaction trees has shown that algebraic effects can be used to verify compilers extrinsically. In the hope of avoiding overhead of extrinsic verification, I have researched how to use algebraic effects more directly as the intermediate representation in a verified compiler. I will present this approach and its complications. **Programming with Holes, Types, and Tests - Niek Mulleners** The duty of the compiler is to turn programs into executable code. When a program is incomplete or incorrect, it should tell the programmer exactly why their program cannot be executed and, ideally, how this can be fixed. To do so, the compiler has to understand the programmer's intentions. In this talk, I will explore how programmers can express their intentions through types, tests, and sketches (programs containing holes), and how the compiler might use this information to assist them in writing programs.

**Ursula Blythe - The Philosophy of Grief: Love, loss, and the so-called human condition** ATTEND IN PERSON OR ON ZOOM Can Philosophy Inform Grief? Death is part of the human condition, yet we tend to avoid the subject in everyday conversations and philosophical discourse. Engaging with Grief reminds people of their own inevitable losses and demise during their life-cycle. However, death remains a curious mystery where our sense of loss and confusion is somehow out of our control. This phenomena generates the concept and real-life experience of Grief itself. As a starting point, it is important to understand or appreciate: Why we avoid the topic of Grief, particularly across Western cultures? Indeed, there are many social, psychological, and philosophical reasons for avoiding the discussion of Grief. As a prelude to my talk, I have signposted some significant examples of why we may avert discussions of Grief, as follows: Emotional Discomfort: Grief is an intensely painful and overwhelming emotion. Discussing it openly can make both the grieving person and others feel uncomfortable, as it forces an acknowledgment of vulnerability and mortality. Fear of Saying the Wrong Thing: Many folks are unsure of what to say or how to support someone who is grieving. They fear causing further pain or appearing insensitive which often leads them to avoid the elephant in the room! Social Norms and Stigma: Western culture often emphasises resilience and “moving on” quickly. So, open displays of intense emotions, especially prolonged sadness can be seen as a sign of weakness or an inability to cope, leading to avoidance of the subject. Lack of Personal Experience: If an individual has not experienced a significant loss themselves, they may struggle to empathise or appreciate the depth of another’s pain. Pace of Modern Life: Everyday life moves quickly, and there is often little time or space for the extended period of mourning that Grief requires. People may feel pressure to maintain normalcy and avoid “bringing down the mood” in social interactions. In Philosophical Terms: Traditional philosophy, particularly from the Stoics onward, has often focused on how to overcome or control emotions like ‘Grief’ through reason, rather than exploring its inherent value or meaning. The goal was often ataraxia (a state of freedom from emotional disturbance) which positions Grief as something to be managed, rather than discussed openly. Solomon (2007) states that the avoidance of Grief stems from a human disposition to: Shield ourselves and others from intense pain and the profound existential challenges that Grief presents. On reflection, normative definitions explain Loss as the event of losing something or someone. However, death remains a curious mystery here a sense of loss and bewilderment is out of our control known as the ‘process’ or ‘stages’ of Grief, which I will strongly argue against. For me, Grief is nether inherently rational or irrational, as it a natural emotional, mental, and physical response to the loss of a loved one. However, everyone’s experience of Grief is different, both culturally and individually. When endeavouring to “draw out meaning” from Grief. Perhaps it is very subjective in the early stages, and more objective in the later stages, which may generate a new understanding of Grief as a philosophical concept. In this talk, I will be drawing on the work of C.S. Lewis (1963), Robert C. Solomon (2007) and Michael Cholbi (2022), in order to assess if philosophy can actually inform our understanding and meaning of Grief. **Ursula Mary Blythe** is a public philosopher, essayist, researcher, and someone who has experienced profound loss and grief in recent years.

This is an invitation for anyone who could use a listening ear, whether you are going through a difficult time, in transition, or simply looking for connection. This support circle welcomes you as you are, without judgement. The idea is simple, we meet, sit in a circle, and share how we are doing. We speak without interruption, listen without fixing, and allow ourselves to feel a little less alone on this journey. No therapy - just presence and connection. Coffee and tea will be provided by our ASOP cafe friends. Sessions will be held every two weeks, to create a regular and safe space to talk, listen, and connect over time. Attendance is limited to a small group. \*\* A small fee is required to become a member, this money is used to pay for the initial space. This initiative is not intended to generate any sort of revenue. Mental support should be free, always.\*\* SUPPORT CIRCLE CORE VALUES 1. Voluntary sharing: no one is obliged to speak. Listening is a full and valid form of participation. 2. No judgmental listening: members listen without interrupting, fixing, giving advice, sharing personal opinions. Advice or responses are offered only if explicitly requested by the speaker. 3. Acknowledge courage to share: After a member shares, the group briefly acknowledges their courage in speaking their mind. No analysis, no debate- just recognition. 4. Confidentiality: what is shared in the circle, it stays in the circle. No stories leave the room without permission. 5. Equal time: Each member who wishes to speak gets roughly equal time. No one dominates, no one is rushed. 6. Presence over problem solving: the purpose of this circle is connection, not therapy not fixing. Members are here to be heard, not to be changed.

I love my job and one of the main things I do is help customers get going with any of the data technologies at Microsoft. Right now there are a lot of my customers asking about Microsoft Fabric. It's hard to weave across all the shiny new options across the Fabric landscape, let alone figure out where it fits into your organization. In this session we'll focus on answering one question - how can I get data into Fabric? We'll talk through the "it depends" options and see some of the options in live demos.

### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.

Join members of the local UX and Digital Design community for a casual monthly breakfast. There _might_ be a little snow, but there _will_ be effectively infinite serve-yourself coffee, so it evens out if you ask me. Just a reminder, while the other locations are great too, we’re at the Lane Ave one this time.

Connected Westerville Night of Networking flips the script on networking, with surprises and connections that'll make you say, "Who knew networking could be this much fun?!"

OWASP is ending use of Meetup, so I built an eventbrite for the event. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ai-development-risk-case-studies-and-how-agentic-ai-is-the-future-of-appsec-tickets-1981450622150?aff=oddtdtcreator AI is transforming how software is designed, developed, and deployed, dramatically accelerating velocity while introducing new categories of risk. As organizations adopt AI-assisted coding, autonomous agents, and increasingly complex model interactions, traditional application security approaches struggle to keep pace. This talk examines emerging AI-driven risks through real case studies from the field, highlighting issues such as insecure code generation, data-leakage pathways, model manipulation, and evolving supply-chain threats. We will explore how engineering teams must adapt their people, processes, and governance models to secure AI-augmented development workflows effectively. The session will then introduce agentic AI as the next evolution in application security—autonomous systems capable of continuous analysis, multi-step reasoning, and real-time remediation. Attendees will learn how combining agentic AI with modern practices can reduce developer friction, improve coverage, and create a future-ready application security strategy designed for the demands of AI-native software development
