Software Craftsmanship

We’re thrilled to announce a special edition of BcnRust taking place inside the **Talent Arena at Mobile World Congress 2026**, thanks to the collaboration between the **[Rust Foundation](https://rustfoundation.org)** and **[Mobile World Capital Barcelona](https://mobileworldcapital.com/)**. This unique event brings together hands‑on workshops, a community meetup, and exclusive access for Rust developers across Spain — including our friends from **[MadRust](https://www.meetup.com/es-es/madrust/)**, represented by our meetup speaker **[Jorge Ortiz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jorgeortiz/)**. **📅 Schedule — Wednesday, March 4th** **Workshop 1 — General Access** 9:30h – 10:45h **When Floats Lie:** *Performance, and why Rust keeps AI from corroding* **Speaker:** [Lawrence Freeman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thedatachef/) "Floating-point numbers are prone to subtle failure modes that erode performance and correctness. We will build a small quantization framework in Rust, evolving step by step as we move from numeric fundamentals to Post-Training Quantization (PTQ) for AI inference. You’ll learn how quantization works at the bit level, and why Rust is becoming critical infrastructure for high-performance, resource-constrained, AI-driven systems." This session is free to attend. Simply register at: 👉 [https://talentarena.tech](https://talentarena.tech) **Community Meetup — XPRO Access** 13:30h – 14:30h (extended until 14:50 if needed) **Make Rusty AI** *Building an agent from scratch using Rust and open‑source tools* **Speaker:** [Jorge Ortiz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jorgeortiz/) (MadRust) "Artificial intelligence has infiltrated nearly every aspect of our lives. Assistants are now capable of performing tasks that were once science fiction, and we’ve started integrating them into our daily routines. But do you fully understand the concepts at play? Can you distinguish between a chatbot and an agent? Could you write your own AI tools? In this talk, we’ll build an agent from scratch using Rust and open-source tools. While the session will involve live-coding, the focus will be on understanding the core concepts and applications of artificial intelligence. It’s an opportunity to explore how emerging technologies are reshaping the way we interact with computing—and how you can contribute to this revolution." Join us for a deep dive into practical Rust‑powered AI, followed by community discussion and networking with Rustaceans from Barcelona, Madrid, and beyond. **Workshop 2 — XPRO Access** 16:45h – 18:00h **From fRusTrait‑ion to Async Mastery**: *Become a Rust Trait Hero in 90 minutes* **Speaker:** [Lawrence Freeman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thedatachef/) **🎟️ About the XPRO Passes** Thanks to the Rust Foundation, we have **150 XPRO passes** available for the community.

Pura Vida! 🌴✨💭 ¡Bienvenid@s a este rincón de pura buena onda en Barcelona! Aquí nos juntamos para charlar de lo profundo y lo ligero: filosofía que nos hace pensar, felicidad que se siente en el cuerpo y alma, y ese arte de vivir con bienestar real (inspirado en la esencia costarricense de "Pura Vida": una vida simple, agradecida, llena de alegría y sin estrés innecesario). Hablaremos de preguntas grandes como ¿qué significa ser feliz de verdad?, ¿cómo equilibrar mente, energía y emociones?, mindfulness, sabiduría antigua, energía vital... y cómo todo esto se conecta con el día a día en esta ciudad mágica. Todo en un ambiente relajado, abierto y sin juicios – mezcla de deep talks, risas, ideas locas y buena vibra. Ideal para pensadores curiosos, buscadores de paz interior, o simplemente quien quiera conectar con gente interesante. ¡Locals, expats, hablantes de español/inglés/catalán – todos bienvenidos! No hace falta ser experto en filosofía: solo ganas de compartir, escuchar y salir con más luz interior. 🌿😊 **Cuota de participación:** 5€ por encuentro (ayuda a cubrir el espacio y mi proyecto social - o mantenemos cozy y sostenible!) Próximos encuentros pronto – en parques soleados, cafés con encanto o rincones tranquilos de Barcelona. ¡Ven a vivir un poco más Pura Vida con nosotros! RSVP y únete a la aventura 💫 #PuraVidaBarcelona #FelicidadYFilosofia #BienestarReal #FilosofiaBarcelona #AcupunctureVibes #VidaConsciente

¿Cuál es la relación entre los filósofos y la ciudad de Barcelona? ¿Cómo pasaron por ella? ¿Qué reflexiones han surgido de su encuentro y cuáles siguen ocultas en los callejones de la ciudad? Como hacían los filósofos peripatéticos, la reflexión se desarrollará también en movimiento. En cada etapa, un filósofo y una idea permitirán que se desplieguen las ideas sobre la idea de ciudad. De hecho, el hilo conductor del recorrido es la propia idea de «ciudad». Será un pensar caminando, un cuestionar conociendo. El "Tour" es una experiencia colectiva de diálogo filosófico apta para tod@s, tanto para l@s que conocen bien la filosofía como para l@s que no la conocen en absoluto. Para todas las edades y perspectivas. El recorrido dura alrededor de 1 hora y 45 minutos. Al finalizar, podrás realizar un aporte libre, de acuerdo con lo que consideres que ha valido la experiencia. ¿Qué esperas para animarte a vivir esta nueva practica filosófica? CÓMO PARTICIPAR 1. Reserva tu presencia en Meetup 2. El aporte libre se podrá realizar a final del "tour" en efectivo o por: Revolut: +393388716566 Paypal: proemaci@gmail.com Transferencia bancaria: IBAN: IT25Y0760103200000070285267 (motivo del pago: Barcelona) ATENCIÓN: Si no puedes venir, por favor date de baja en Meetup o avísanos por WhatsApp (+34613937727).

Buenas! (English below) Cada día aparecen formas nuevas de aprender español, (y otros idiomas) apps nuevas, métodos de gramática, IA, videos de profes explicando cosas, y están todas genial. Si te ayudan a entender más y a hablar mejor están genial. El plan de este grupo es mejorar tu español con juegos, actividades reales y ejercicios para hablar más. Con la excusa de los juegos y las actividades corregimos la mayoría de errores: Palabras difíciles, confundir pasados, preposiciones, verbos que significan muchas cosas, ser y estar en pasado, frases con dos verbos o mas, subjuntivo, expresiones coloquiales, y también los errores "culturales”: ¿De que forma usamos los españoles el idioma en diferentes situaciones? La gente que participa es (casi siempre) muy simpática, y normalmente deja reviews muy positivas de las clases. Si te cuadra el plan ven a practicar tu español y hablamos de comida, de viajes, de trabajo, de cultura, de Internet, de temas locales, de noticias y de muchas más cosas. Para participar hay una contribución de solo 10€ por persona/ clase de 2 horas (materiales incluidos, bebidas no incluidas) o de 30€ por 4 clases. Vente y hablamos. Rafa. \-\-\-\- Hi! Every day there are new ways to learn Spanish, (or any language) new apps, grammar methods, AI, teachers explaining things on videos, and they are all great. If they help you to understand more and to speak better, they are great. The main plan in this group is to improve your Spanish with games, real activities and exercises to speak more. All the games and activities are a good excuse to correct the most difficult/ frequent mistakes: Difficult words, confusing past tenses, prepositions, verbs that mean many things, ser and estar in the past, sentences with two or more verbs, subjuntive, colloquial expressions, and also “cultural" mistakes: How we, Spanish people, use the language in different situations? People participating are (almost always) very nice, and usually leave very positive reviews of the classes. If the plan fits you, come to practice your Spanish and we'll talk about food, travel, work, culture, Internet, local issues, business, news and many more things. There is a contribution to participate of only €10 per person/2-hour class (materials included, drinks not included) or €30 for 4 classes. Let´s talk. Rafa.

Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems: * Using running totals * Performing operations in intervals * Identifying data gaps and islands * Performing aggregates without losing detail Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

To this end we've set up a survey form at [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc)
