UI/UX Design

This is a bi-weekly series of Indoor Volleyball events where we play volleyball for **mixed players (intermediary and advanced)**, mostly for fun. Another bi-weekly series in alternance is for **advanced players only** with a bit more accent on performance. Cost is 10 EUR per person for 2 hours, based on a number of 14 players. The events are always announced 4 weeks in advance. This avoids people to block seats long time in advance and then forget to cancel. It is a sport where number of players matters, I would genuinely appreciate your understanding and compliance.

Dear artists, This time we will have Lau with short and long burlesque poses! See you there!

Compass Word of the Year. Vienna Coffee Talks Edition. January gets noisy. Goals everywhere. Pressure everywhere. Everyone suddenly convinced you need a new personality by February. This is quieter. We meet in a classic Vienna coffee house. No vision boards. No forced reinvention. No pretending you have endless motivation and energy to meet all your goals by March. Just coffee. Conversation. And one grounded decision. In this session, you choose one compass word for the year ahead. A direction you can actually live with. What happens: • You step back and look at how you want to decide and act this year. • You use a simple mental model to test which word holds under pressure. • You filter out noise, expectations, and other people’s priorities. • You leave with one word that anchors you when things get uncomfortable. Your compass word helps you: • Say no faster. • Decide with more confidence. • Stay aligned when motivation drops. • Course correct without overthinking everything. One coffee house. One word. A year of clearer decisions. You buy the coffee. We set the direction.

Privatsphäre mit Onchain-Bitcoin ist kein Standard-Feature, sondern ein technischer Kampf gegen Wahrscheinlichkeiten. Wir widmen uns an diesem Abend den Methoden, mit denen Analysten versuchen, Zahlungsströme zu deuten und erklären die Logik, die hinter moderner Blockchain-Analysis steckt. **Die Themen des Abends:** **Heuristiken:** Wir erklären detailliert, auf welche Muster und Metadaten geschaut wird, um mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit festzustellen, wann Bitcoin tatsächlich den Besitzer wechselt – und wann es sich nur um Wechselgeld (Change) handelt. **Infrastruktur & KYC-Risiken:** Warum deine Privatsphäre schon bei der Abfrage von Daten beginnt. Wir besprechen die Risiken von zentralisierten Services, Public Block Explorern und die Verbindung zu KYC-Daten. Warum ist "**Run your own Node**" essenziell für Privacy? **Lightning Fixes Privacy?** Bietet das Lightning-Netzwerk die perfekte Lösung? Wir betrachten die technischen Trade-offs und diskutieren, wo auch Lightning an seine Grenzen stößt, wenn es um Metadata-Privacy geht. Ein interaktiver, technischer Vortrag (90 Min) mit Raum für Fragen. **Einlass 18 Uhr** **Start 18:30 Uhr** Die Eventlocation wurde freundlicherweise von [Bitcoin.Wien ](https://www.bitcoin.wien/)zur Verfügung gestellt.

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus. In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA
