Please join us for our fourth official C++ Singapore meetup! This is going to be a more casual meet-up where members of the community here are going to be giving some talks. The meet-up will be held at the National University of Singapore. Anyone interested in the C++ programming language, from students to professionals, is welcome! **Meetup Track** 📌 **#1: The Cost of Abstraction: std::function under the microscope** Speaker: Namrata Priyadarshani, Graviton Research Capital LLP *Modern C++ gives as powerful abstraction like std::function , std::bind , std::any . But these conveniences often hide real runtime costs. In this talk we go under the hood of std::function with real code examples, assembly analysis and practical ways to debug unpredictable latency.* 📌 **#2: What C++ developers should know about compiling and linking** Speaker: Kai L, Tower Research Capital *The speaker will cover C++ goes from C++ files to an executable, the linker and the includes relationships between files.* 📌 **#3:** **The niche use of [[no_unique_address]] that no one talks about: A lesson on alignment and padding** Speaker: Ryan Chung, Fenix One *[[no_unique_address]] is often used as an optimization for zero-size member subobjects, but it can do much more. We'll be deep diving into its niche use case to help optimize the space usage of certain structs, and look into the guarantees provided by different standards (C++ and ABI).* **Please RSVP if you plan to attend, and please *cancel* your RSVP again if you find out later that you cannot attend so that someone else can use your slot.** 📍 **Where:** Room S14-0619, National University of Singapore 📅 **When:** March 4th 🕡 Time: 6:30PM - 9:00PM 🍕 Note: Food and beverages will be provided. 📸 Note: Photographs will be captured during the event for future promotional activities. 🍻 Post-Meetup Networking: Stick around for casual networking after the meetup.

Hi DESG Community, It's been a while since we last met on Sep 2025. So much has changed and AI agents has been the talk of the time for past 6 months. For this month, we have Chin Hwee who will talk about: ***Your Data is Late Again! Handling Late-Arriving Data in the Modern AI Data Stack*** *"When we say we are processing the "latest" data in the data warehouse, which timestamp are we referring to?* *Late-arriving data can happen due to operational and technical reasons that may require data corrections, posing challenges in ensuring timely and accurate reporting of point-in-time data that drive AI systems and decision-making. In this talk, I will be exploring approaches on how we can design data systems and history-preserving data models that can handle late-arriving data in the modern AI data stack."* **Expected agenda:** **6.30pm - 7.15pm** \- Registration\, Pizzas & Networking **7.15pm - 7.20pm** \- Introduction **7.20pm - 8:00pm** \- Talk by Chin Hwee **8.00pm – 8.30pm** \- Q&A **8.30pm –** End of event Hope to you all soon!

Projects that are over budget, delayed, or that fail to scale past the POC phase are very common. In many of these scenarios, choosing the right approach can be as critical as the solution itself. Should you build a tailored machine learning model, leverage the power of large language models (LLMs), or integrate with AI copilots? Each option has unique strengths, trade-offs, and resource requirements, and the key to success lies in aligning your choice with your business goals and technical constraints. In this talk, we will go beyond the basic concepts and definitions to provide a practical guide that allows attendees to navigate these decisions through real-world case studies. We will examine scenarios in which different AI paradigms were chosen, discuss the factors that influenced those decisions, and outline the process for evaluating needs, constraints, and outcomes. From assessing data availability and team expertise to balancing cost and scalability, you'll gain insights into the critical considerations that guide the selection process. By the end of this session, you’ll have a clear process for determining whether machine learning, LLMs, or copilots are best suited to your AI challenges and understand the resources and strategies needed to bring your chosen solution to life. This talk is ideal for decision-makers, technical leads, and innovators seeking to demystify AI implementation and maximize the impact of their investments.

Drake Lundstrom is presenting: Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone Abstract: Have you heard the trend of people deploying code anywhere from checkout lines to doctors' offices? In this talk, you will learn how to talk to your phone and have an app on Azure to show your friend 5 minutes later. The basic DevOps tools you already know, plus a little bit of AI magic, are all you need! If you want to follow along, the demo will be in Azure with GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot, and you can have it set up on your phone by the end of the session. Just come in with an Azure account and a GitHub repo. Join us for pizza, drinks, and networking @ Improving's office. Doors open at 5:45.
