Spontaneous Introduction to Haskell

This Sunday (05/02/23) at 18:00 we'll write our first (and hopefully not the last) Haskell program

Part I:

We'll learn how to read Prelude, how to fight the type checker and how to build at least a hello world.

Part II:

Everyone who wants to try can choose a well-known unix program (e.g. cat, ls or grep) and attempt to create a simplified clone of it in Haskell (it's OK if you have a better idea)

Language: Russian or English

Bring your own laptops with GHC and Cabal pre-installed

ALGO MEETUP
4 Feb Saturday 14:00 - 19:00

Series of events, dedicated to learning algorithms and solving LeetCode problems. Nice option to prepare for job interviews.

topic: Graphs
At first we will have a small lecture about basic graph definitions, graph traversals, DFS and BFS. Then we will solve 3-4 medium/hard LeetCode problems together using these algorithms. Use your favorite programming language.

Minimal participant requirements: you have already successfully solved easy problems at LeetCode.
Max 10 people, please comment if you want to participate and not already in the group.

Bring laptops and charger with you.
Physics engines usage is prohibited!

Send 🐍 in comments, if you'd like to take part in this event.
It'll be hard to fit more than 10 people for comfortable long-time coding in main room, so top 10 snakes will get the place.

If you're quick and thirsty, we have next level task for you.
Awaiting for your kinky code!

And beware: there'll be void snake vol.2: multiple bite,
try to guess in comments, what it'll be about!

Unlocking the secrets of networks: A hands-on introduction to the world of networking

When: 18 Jan 2023 20:30
Where: main room @ F0RTHSP4CE

Attention all techies! Are you ready to dive into the exciting world of networking? Our introductory course is designed to give you a comprehensive understanding of how networks work and how to set them up.

In our first lecture, we will be discussing the problems that networking solves and how it enables communication and collaboration between different devices. We will be building up to the OSI and TCP/IP models organically, so you can understand the relevance and importance of these concepts.

Additionally, we'll be providing some hands-on experience using Wireshark, a widely used network protocol analyzer, to troubleshoot and test networks.

This course is suitable for all levels of skills, from beginners to advanced. So, whether you're new to networking or looking to expand your knowledge, this is the course for you!

ChatGPT for text document work

ChatGPT is a new system from OpenAI for generation of large amounts of text from shorter prompts. Everybody and AI replica of their dead grandma predicts that it will take a lot of people's jobs.

But on monday I will show you how I'am using this tech (together with grammar and style checkers like grammarly) today to help me simplify document work:
- write templates of emails for correspondence
- recommendation and cover letters for immigration application submissions

During this meetup we gonna discuss how this new overhyped technology works and we will test it for ourselves.

Bring your own laptop if you want to try this yourself.

! IMPORTANT !: Only 20 people can fit into the room, please leave a comment to reserve a place. You can direct all the questions to the comment section.
