A one-stop event to get acquainted and grow your tech network in Singapore: a hybrid online + in-person GeekcampSG. The end goal: to reignite vibrant and inspiring meetups in the tech community.
Local tech communities are most welcome to present a talk and get involved!
Rally your community to submit talk proposals relevant to your interest areas. There are limited slots for both headline and parallel tracks, so submit early to avoid disappointment! If your talk is accepted, we will work closely with you to promote it to GeekcampSG attendees and our social media.
For more information, get in touch with the organiser who contacted you. :)
Time shown is in SGT (UTC+8)
Have you ever visited a website on a phone only to find that when you want to scroll down, the entire page also sways from left to right due to some mysterious horizontal overflow? Unintended horizontal overscrolling is not a great experience. Let's break the problem down and also try to solve it.
As a junior dev, have you ever wanted to ask your senior dev for help, but felt paiseh (Singlish for embarrassed)? My senior is so busy all the time... What if my question is too bodoh (Singlish for stupid) and irritates my senior? Let me teach you the art of asking good questions.
What might the collision of maker culture, data science, electroencephalograms, the Internet of Things, and climate science look like? In this session, we share a student-initiated project which explores this very intersection. Come join us and BYOCM (bring your own craft materials)!
In 2019, a trivial flaw existed on Flickr that allowed user impersonation. It's one of many that come from flaws in the use of cryptography: And it's not the developer's fault; Crypto is fragile. This talk describes the wide contexts crypto is used (and attacked) and all that can go wrong.
Learn how Squawk can help improve your migrations and schema definitions in PostgreSQL. We will discuss the various rules that Squawk lints against and how they can lead to more resilient database design in PostgreSQL.
In the past edition of "Geekcamp.SG", I received a lot of queries on what it takes to start in CyberSecurity. This workshop is part presentation and part hands-on on some of the tasks and the different roles that a Cyber Security Blue Teamer might carry out.
As microservices have become popular in the current software engineering landscape, it is important to consider security risks arising from interactions between components within a system. We will explore the parsing differential problem and discuss remedies with examples.
Based on content from Martin Kleppmann's Designing Data Intensive Applications, go under the hood of databases and simulate with code examples (in JS), how DBs read and write files: append-only, hash index, LSMTrees and B+Trees. Also will touch on Online Analysis Processing DB strategies
Have you wanted to use a construction set to build a model but don't want to deal with complicated techniques to remove studs/build sideways? Not Square? Too many different types of bricks? Something you can freely 3D print cheaply? etc. Look no further; this is the construction set for you!
One setup to rule all your repositories, One setup to find them, One setup to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them. On the laptop of the developer where the node_modules lie.
Processors are at the heart of our devices. As they become more integrated with other functions, what do we know about how they work? Do we trust their designers? We present a computer design with a FPGA RISC-V processor implementation, allowing for the underlying hardware to be inspected.
There are many ways to solve a problem, some better than others: copy from StackOverflow, use a popular library, callbacks, promises, goroutines, meta programming, queue, regexes, and so on. But there’s one dumb approach that keeps ending up as the better solution in many situations: plain values.
I gave a Geekcamp opening keynote in 2012 titled "Bitcoin – How it is safer than you bank", when Bitcoin was barely known outside of a small group of users.This is a no-hype talk that covers both my personal journey in the blockchain scene, as well as evolution of blockchain, from my eyes.
When I ask, what does a database look like? An ER Diagram may come to mind. How about, what does a DB sound like? Hmm.. maybe, the screams of one being accidentally deleted. Ultimately, art is made up of data. A song has notes, a painting has pixels etc. So, why not turn our databases into art?
Software processes and best practices like version control, build automation and CI/CD are widely adopted in the software industry, but how to adapt these ideas to hardware design and development? Does git work on schematics? Can I automate hardware testing? Let's explore!
This talk looks at how to perform an internet-wide scan supporting TLSv1.3. We collect data from the entire IPv4 space on port 443 and analyze 9,461,056 data points to baseline the state of the TLS ecosystem. We conclude the talk by looking at how the ecosystem can be improved.
Speed is coming to Python. After years of mostly stagnant year-on-year Python performance improvements, Python 3.11 is 25% faster than Python 3.10, thanks to various contributors. I'd love to share the technical details of how this was achieved.
My wife is really addicted to Wordle, and she's been bugging me to try it every day, and compete for a better score then me ....But I suck at Wordle! So I used math, statistics, and JavaScript - to automate solving of wordle for me (so I will never need to do so again)
Programmers and lawyers do the same thing: we anticipate a range of future scenarios and try to say what is, and is not, supposed to happen in each one. But lawyers program in English. What if CS had been invented before law? What would lawyers be programming in instead?
This talk was in the making for more than two years.
My biggest inspiration for this topic is my nine-year-old (then seven) daughter, Shayna, who loves to draw.@geekcamp is also one of the fantastic events where I met with many like-minded friends in Singapore. https://twitter.com/geekcamp/status/1562405727440084992 …
On my way to @geekcamp , can't wait to check out the awesome talks this year.
All participants are expected to adhere to the CoC both onsite and online. The guiding principle is respect and care for self and others. Examples of unacceptable behaviours include (not exhaustive):
The CoC applies to all GeekcampSG attendees, including organisers, sponsors, speakers and talk attendees.
In the event that you need to report a CoC violation:
We will respect confidentiality requests for the purpose of protecting victims of abuse. At our discretion, we may publicly name a person about whom we’ve received harassment complaints. We will not name harassment victims without their affirmative consent.
The participant will face the following, in order of increasing severity:
If a participant has exhibited concerning behavior, as outlined in the rules, they may be pulled into timeout. During timeout, the participant will have a discussion with our Code of Conduct representatives about any concerning behaviors until we have come to an agreement.
The participant will be separated from other participants and have a discussion with our Code of Conduct representatives in a private setting.
The participant loses access to all channels on the Geekcamp server other than timeout. Only the timed-out participant and the mods will be able to see the conversation.
The participant will be escorted off the premises and will not be allowed to re-enter.
The user will be banned from the Geekcamp Discord server.
Geekcamp organisers will liaise with the venue host to initiate actions such as reporting to building security and/or police for their follow-up action.
Geekcamp organisers will provide supporting evidence to Discord administrators and/or local law enforcement authorities for their follow-up action.
