Nikita Lapkov ☛ EuroRust 2024
I had the pleasure to speak at EuroRust this year! This was my third and final talk about elfo, an actor system written in Rust. As I’m no longer an active contributor to elfo, it feels a bit bittersweet to finish last thing related to the project. I wish maintainers of elfo well as they continue to push one of the most hard-core Rust code I’ve ever seen :)

Rlang ☛ Satellite mapping of surface waters in R
Description: Surface waters such as rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs are an important source of freshwater and economic activity. Mapping such waters and their seasonal changes is crucial for understanding water resource availability or geomorphic activity. This workshop focuses on the interrogation of optical and multispectral satellite imagery for surface water mapping using R. We will examine different types of satellite imagery and how to extract surface water features. It is recommended but not required to have some basics in understanding geographic information systems (GIS) topics, image processing, and possibly some background in hydrology, geography, or earth science.

Federal News Network ☛ DoD edges toward goal of ubiquitous connectivity — connect anything, provide access anywhere
Bit by bit, the U.S. military has been undergoing something of a communications revolution over the last several years: from an aircraft carrier suddenly having hundreds of megabits of bandwidth available on board to the Army moving toward a single network for both its enterprise and tactical communications and communicators in Indo-Pacific Command finding new ways to interoperate with new partners.

Tom's Hardware ☛ Russia using homegrown Raspberry Pi-like computers in nuclear facilities — Elbrus ES3 certified for use in critical applications
The hardware in question is the Elbrus programmable logic controller (PLC), which is based on the MCST Elbrus-2S3 developed by Roselectronics. The PLC has been registered and included in the registry of hardware-software systems maintained by the Ministry of Digital Development of Russia. This certification allows these devices to be used at critical information infrastructure facilities to create automated process control systems.
