Programmers typically no longer learn C until they need to write an extension, patch an existing codebase, speed up a bottleneck, or take a job with some low-level coding. You're a programmer and can teach yourself syntax. Instead, we will address your three biggest hurdles, which are usually not taught systematically: using OOP skills, managing memory, and handling exceptional conditions, all without language help. We will focus on plain C, but much of the material will apply directly to C++. Some of it will even make you a better programmer in your favorite higher-level language.

Cloud providers provide for a fully managed postgres database, the removal of the need to handle 90% of the administration of a postgresql database, and have you focus on the development end of it.  I'll provide metrics between the 3 major cloud providers of their managed postgresql database and compare it to self-managed postgresql environment on the cloud providers with a VM/EC2 instance.  

There are plenty of attackers on the Internet. They seek any vulnerable device available online. Who are they? What are they trying to do? And how to defend yourself? We are trying to answer some of those questions by making open source routers, that can serve as a security probes around the world. We are gathering data about bad guys and we are sharing them. And you can join us and make it harder for the bad guys even without the router. Want to know how to easily mess with those guys? Want to be better protected? I'll tell you how you can use what we do to achieve that!

Data scientists want access to data sets quickly, but organizations often need to protect private data, whether due to internal policy or government regulations. In this talk we discuss how to leverage PostgreSQL for managing organization-wide data access while protecting privacy. Topics include: Row Level Security, Purpose-based data access, Federating data, Foreign data wrappers, Masking, Differential privacy, k-anonymity, and Auditing with pgAudit
