PCE Philosophic Conversation in English
PCE Philosophic Conversation in English
PCE - "Philosophic Conversation in English" is a discussion event in English language which focuses on psychology, philosophy, self-consciousness and self-realization. The conversation is based on inclusive discussion rules. We will meet at at a restaurant where we will sit in the outdoor area. At the beginning we will choose the two topics to discuss. Everybody can suggest a topic. Afterwards we will vote what topics to discuss. The person who suggests a winning topic will start the discussion by explaining his/her idea. Afterwards everybody gets his/her chance to make a statement. But you can also decide to remain silent and only listen, if you prefer that. We have a time limit for statements, so that everybody has enough time to speak. It is not allowed to interrupt somebody who is speaking. After a statement everybody can ask a question and the speaker will answer. After the first part there will be a 15 minutes break before we start the second part. Everybody is welcome to our event: We are interested in your thoughts and opinions! It is no problem if you arrive late and you can also leave whenever you want. Please don't bring pets to this event because the room is usually very crowded. Please make sure to register for the event to secure your seat!

"living immutable: painless Java Records" + "Zero-Deps Java AI Business Agents"
"living immutable: painless Java Records" + "Zero-Deps Java AI Business Agents"
Agenda: 18:00 Doors open 18:20 welcome - doors closing 18:30 "living immutable: working with Java Records the painless way" - Georgios Angelopoulos \~ 19:00/19:15 break/networking \~ 19:30/19:45 Zero-Dependency **Java 25+ AI Business Agents**: Running locally with zsmith and LightMetal - Adam Bien **living immutable: working with Java Records the painless way** Java Records are great for immutability, but updating deeply nested structures usually means dealing with a headache of nested constructors and endless *.withX()* chains. This talk covers how to skip the boilerplate using Telescope, a lightweight Java library designed for painless deep updates. We will dive into: * The ergonomic pain points of nested Java Records. * Using Telescope's fluent DSL for surgical, zero-boilerplate updates * Applying these same clean immutability patterns to legacy POJOs. **About Georgios Angelopoulos** I am a Lead Developer at Prewave with a background in Electrical and Computer Engineering. My experience and interests cover the entire computing spectrum, solving problems at every layer of the stack. **Zero-Dependency Java 25+ Business Agents: Running locally with zsmith and LightMetal** Modern Java provides all the functionality required for local LLM inference and agent orchestration, eliminating the need for external dependencies. LightMetal directly binds Llama.cpp from Java using the **Foreign Function and Memory API (FFM)**, eliminating the need for JNI or native wrappers. It runs open models such as **Mistral, Gemma, and Llama** on your machine. Zsmith is built on LightMetal and uses the Boundary-Control-Entity (BCE) model to structure agents. It loads tools and skills as ServiceLoader plugins and runs tool calls and streaming on Virtual Threads. Local inference and remote models work with the same agent code over the JDK's HttpClient. Topics: \- One\-line installation\, no build tools\, no package managers \- FFM in practice: calling native libraries without JNI \- Running Mistral\, Gemma and Llama locally in pure Java \- ServiceLoader as a plugin mechanism for tools and skills \- BCE applied to AI agents \- Virtual Threads for streaming\, tool calls and parallel inference \- Switching between local and remote models without changing the agent \- Plain JDK: HttpClient\, records\, sealed types and pattern matching \- Packaging agents as single\-file Java applications Everything is demonstrated live with code. Your questions are highly welcome — the more, the better! **About Adam Bien** Entwickler, Consultant, manchmal Konferenzsprecher, Autor und Java / Jakarta (SE/EE) / MicroProfile Enthusiast. Adam Bien ([adambien.blog](http://adambien.blog)) arbeitet mit Java seit JDK 1.0, JavaScript seit LiveScript und hat immer noch sehr viel Spass am Programmieren. Adam veranstaltet regelmĂ€ssig Java EE / WebStandards / JavaScript Workshops am Flughafen MĂŒnchen ([http://airhacks.com](http://airhacks.com)).

See you there!](https://www.universe.com/events/english-stand-up-comedy-open-mic-uncensored-the-comedy-pub-tickets-T7DMVN?ref=MeetUp)** **Explore the wild side of comedy at 'Uncensored' every Saturday, 22:00 - 00:00, hosted by Homer. Dark humor takes center stage!** Welcome to **Uncensored Open Mic**, the rawest and wildest comedy stage in Vienna! Here, there are no taboos, no censorship, and no holding back—just pure, unfiltered humor. Comedians of all levels storm the stage to test their most daring, sharpest, and funniest jokes. This is stand-up without filters, without safety nets—just pure comedy chaos! ### đŸ€” **What is an Open Mic?** An Open Mic is where comedy is born. This is the place where comedians try out new ideas, improvise on the spot, and test material that might one day end up on a Netflix special—or crash and burn. At **Uncensored Open Mic**, anything goes! Experience unfiltered jokes, wild stories, and raw stand-up comedy. ### đŸ» **The Comedy Pub – Vienna's Only Stand-Up Comedy Club** Located at KettenbrĂŒckengasse 7, **The Comedy Pub** is the heart of Vienna's stand-up scene. With its cozy pub vibe, cold drinks, and laid-back atmosphere, it's the perfect place to enjoy live comedy. Whether you're a comedy veteran or a first-timer, you'll feel right at home at The Comedy Pub. ### 💡 **Why is it Free? (Donations Welcome!)** Simple: Stand-up comedy needs a live audience. It’s an art form that thrives on reaction—your laughs, gasps, and yes, even your groans help shape the show. That’s why entry is free, and donations are welcome. If you laughed, show us some love. If you didn’t
well, maybe next time! 😉 ### đŸŽŸïž **Audience Guidelines:** To make sure everyone has a great time, we ask for a few simple things: * **Be on Time:** We start right on schedule. * **Follow Instructions:** It’s easy, we promise. * **Laugh Loudly:** Great jokes deserve great laughs. * **Donate if You Liked the Show:** It's the best way to say, "Hey, I had fun!" * **No Heckling:** You will lose. Every time. * **No Talking During the Show:** Respect the comedians and the audience. This isn’t your living room—it’s a privilege to be here. If you’re disturbing the show, the audience, or the comedians, we’ll kick you out. No refunds, no second chances. We’re here for good vibes and great comedy—don’t mess that up. ### 🎉 **Experience Stand-up Comedy Raw and Unfiltered – Join Us Every Saturday!** #UncensoredComedy #OpenMicVienna #StandUpUnleashed #ComedyWithoutLimits #TheComedyPub #RawAndReal #ViennaComedy #NoFilter #StandUpRevolution #OpenMicNight #ViennaEvents #LiveComedy #RealStandUp #NoBoundaries #UncutHumor #ComedyWithoutRules #OpenMicMonday #ViennaNightlife #DonationBased #ComedyInVienna #LocalComedians #TheComedyPubVienna #BoldAndFunny #LaughUnleashed #RawStandUp #EnglishComedyVienna #LaughOutLoud #ViennaLaughs #ComedyInTheHeartOfVienna #ExperienceTheChaos #GetReadyToLaugh

Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you were quoted in *Truth in Comedy*, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**! The idea behind improvised comedy is to create entire scenes from scratch. A suggestion is taken from the audience and laughter is built on the spot. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway, Make Some Noise,* or *Wild 'n Out*; it can also be done in a longer way, to tell a complicated story, like *TJ & Dave*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and FREE!) weekly comedy event, brings the games for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Afterward, many members will hang out in *Gresso's* itself and get to know each other. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, your public speaking, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and build relationships that will last a lifetime, and you do that while laughing your butt off! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "*Yes, And*" that you'll have a blast!

Shut Up & Write!ℱ Easton Town Center
Shut Up & Write!ℱ Easton Town Center
We'll meet at The Capital One CafĂ©, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator. Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking! ‱ What we'll do Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros. 10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! ‱ What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible. See you at The CafĂ© on Saturday!
COUNT monthly event: Kitchen service at Van Buren Center's shelter
COUNT monthly event: Kitchen service at Van Buren Center's shelter
Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above. There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change. The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/). Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers. For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for July is "Shoes" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!
