Fun JVM: Safe Scala practically in the cloud + lighning talks
We'll have another session with talks.
The main topic will be about Safe Scala and DAPR.
Safe Scala is a subset of the Scala language which strictly enforces the discipline of tracking all effects via Capabilities. It was originally pitched by Odersky as safe way to let AI agents write code, since they can't just run arbitrary code from JDK nor do side effects in general. But it may have seemed thus as a purely academic exercise.
This is where DAPR comes in. It's an innovative cloud runtime from Microsoft, which lets programmers focus on writing business logic. The rest, like wiring up service calls, queues, handling retries or managing state is delegated to a language agnostic sidecar container.
The point of the presentation will be to prove that if we represent individual aspects of DAPR as Capabilities, we can write apps in Safe Scala. We will prove that Safe Scala can actually be practical choice for writing typical cloud (micro-)services.
We'll also have a round of lightning talks.
This event is sponsored by [Pure Brew](https://purebrew.tech/)

Thriving in the Age of Collapse
Something is shifting in the world, and most of us can feel it even when we can’t quite name it.
This evening is an invitation to slow down together and look more carefully at what’s happening — the forces pulling us upward into endless striving and downward into exhaustion, and the possibility that these are not separate crises but expressions of the same underlying dynamic. The cracks appearing around us may be less a sign of collapse than an opening.
Not an evening about fixing everything. More an exploration of what it might mean to find footing — and even moments of joy — in disorienting times.
### How the evening will unfold
The first part of the evening will be a reflection and conversation led by František, with space for questions and dialogue. After that, the evening opens up: tea, food, smaller conversations, and time for half-formed intuitions to meet others thinking along similar lines.
Školská 28 has hosted this kind of slow, attentive exchange for decades, and the space itself shapes the atmosphere of the evening.
Stay as long as feels right.
### About František
Over the past decade, František has moved between very different worlds — from research in Xinjiang to theology classrooms, from long-distance cycling journeys to communities working on systemic change. Along the way, he became increasingly interested in the deeper questions underneath modern life: how to live meaningfully in a time when many inherited structures no longer feel stable.
Today he stewards Hostačov, a 16th-century château in the Czech Highlands, where he is building a home for the kind of unhurried inquiry modern life rarely leaves room for.
### The container
The evening is hosted under the umbrella of IDG Czechia (Inner Development Goals), a community focused on cultivating the inner capacities needed to navigate complex challenges. František is one of the core contributors to the IDG Czechia Centre.
Contribution for the space: 0–200 CZK, paid at the venue.

Open philosophical discussion in the heart of Prague
Welcome to the international Café Philo in Prague. We meet every first Saturday of the month in the cosy [Café Millème](https://store11473398.ecwid.com) in the center of Prague. We choose a participant randomly, by lottery, who then has the privilege to determine the topic of our discussion. We will reflect, ponder and exchange arguments until our brains are on fire. Philosophy isn't just something for universities, it is a way to open your mind to new thoughts and questions. No application is necessary, there is no entrance fee and there are no prerequisites for participating, except curiosity and respect for other people. We meet from 17:15 until 18:45 to follow together the white rabbit into the wonderland of philosophy...

12/06-14/06 COMMUNITY BUILDING WORKSHOP
A weekend about real communication.
We will sit in a circle and explore what happens when people slowly stop performing and start listening more honestly.
It is a three-day Community Building workshop in the tradition of M. Scott Peck — for people who want to understand themselves better in contact with others.
How do I speak when I am afraid?
How do I listen when someone is different from me?
What do I hide?
What makes real closeness difficult?
The weekend will be held in Czech with English translation.
Facilitated by Hana Perglerová and Karol Herian from Community Building CZ.

Red Wine & Philosophy: There Is Only ONE Truth
**TOPIC: There Is Only ONE Truth**
Coming soon, but basically group discussion centerer on the announced topic.
**Location:**
There is NO SEATING and we only have the tree canopy to cover us. We might move for another drink somewhere after.
AI Reading Club: Letter from Utopia
At our second meeting, we discussed Eliezer Yudkowsky's book, "[If anyone builds it, everyone dies](https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/474267/if-anyone-builds-it-everyone-dies-by-soares-eliezer-yudkowsky-and-nate/9781847928924)". So this time, something optimistic is needed :)
**Let's dive into different utopian versions of our world with AGI.** The texts below are just suggestions; pick one or read something different. The more colorful utopias, the better the discussion.
* [Nick Bostrom: Letter from Utopia](https://nickbostrom.com/utopia) (or read the whole "Deep Utopia" book, if you feel like it).
* [Dario Amodei: Machines of Loving Grace](https://darioamodei.com/essay/machines-of-loving-grace)
* [Isaac Asimov: The Last Question](https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~gamvrosi/thelastq.html)
* [Iain Banks: Culture series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_series)
* TBD (suggestions welcome!)
No academic background is required, just a willingness to read, think, and share your thoughts. But please, read the text in advance and be ready to share its main ideas :)
The session will be discussion-based, lightly moderated, and limited to a small group to allow for real conversation.
I look forward to what the third AI reading club session brings!

In Person Event: The Secrets to Mental Health
Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it?
How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations.
If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!).
**HOW IT WORKS**
**Step 1: Bring a topic**
Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event.
**Step 2: Circle up & share**
We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds.
**Step 3: Walk, talk & float**
We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!"
**Step 4: Feel more alive**
Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times.
*For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)*
**HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC**
A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about.
Recent topics include:
* "What are you passionate about right now?"
* "What makes a good friend?"
* "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"
* "How do you want to be remembered?"
* "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"
Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter.
**WHAT TO EXPECT**
This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.*
But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here.
**FAQ**
* Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!
* We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.
* We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space.
* Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.
* Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!
**LOGISTICS**
* If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event.
* This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs.
* Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details.
* If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋
**IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...**
[The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up.
* This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
