Why It’s Worth Going

  • Talk in person

    To see old friends. To discuss current problems. To come up with new ideas. To debate and just chat.

  • Switch the format to offline

    To have a change of scenery, to distract and have a good time. To gain fresh impressions and new acquaintances.

Broadcast

There will be a broadcast on the Offline day of the conference, which is available to participants with any ticket. If you want to meet and interact with the speakers and other participants live,we are waiting for you at the venue. And if you are not ready to get to the venue, recordings of all the talks and activities will be waiting for you on this website.

    Writing backend for indie game. Scoreboard, events, chat, pain

    In 2016, Anton started writing a single-player browser game based on Travian and Heroes in JS. Five years and 30K SLOC later, he decided to add common events for all players. And so it went: the announcement system, the table of records, the events themselves, the distribution of rewards. Everything was done in a simple way, on Flask. Then the chat provider "tightened the screws" and before the release of the beta had to write his own chat. 
    On the day of release, 31.12.2021, Anton found out how bad the idea was :)

    CV in the archive: digitization of microfilms

    The researchers at European University (and not only there) face large inconveniences when working with microfilms, reduced copies of paper documents on film. They addressed the problem to the director of the Center for Machine Learning. There was developed an algorithm which allows you to convert the video of browsing the slides on microfilm into a ready PDF. Telegram bot was also designed for users.

    Technologies: ML and neural networks (PyTorch, YOLO, DBSCAN), libraries for working with computer vision (OpenCV, sciPy), AIOGram bot. 

    Target audience: people who want to do computer vision, but do not know what to begin with, experts in CV and its researchers.

    API attack vectors

    Fintech companies are very concerned about application security. Both business and security standards, such as PCI DSS, require it. 

    In this talk, the speaker will show some attack vectors on APIs, which are related to insufficiently designed application architecture or outright violations in writing code in terms of best practices, making the application vulnerable. You will learn about attack vectors, possible defenses and preventive measures.

    Good old if-elif-else or the new evil match?

    Python 3.10 has a new match instruction. It allows you to make complex  if - elif - else  conditions more readable. But does match always improve code readability? Andrey will tell how to write such a match which will be intuitively understandable even to those who are not familiar with this instruction. His talk is based on his experience of adding a match instruction to the PyCharm code editor. The talk details the work of match, the pitfalls, and the pros and cons of using this instruction.

    Introduction to GPGPU for Python Programmers

    Python is widely used for mathematical calculations. In many cases, performance is a critical issue in such calculations. Any modern computer is equipped with a graphics processor. Often it has significantly better computational performance than the CPU. You'll learn how and in what situations you can quickly incorporate the power of the GPU into your Python code in your calculations without having to program the graphics cards yourself.

    ETNA: the challenges of developing an open source framework for time series

    Speakers will tell why in their team decided to develop their own open source framework for working with time series in Python, what pains they experienced during the development process and how they tried to solve them.

    The problems they will talk about are not tied to the specifics of their framework and can occur in any open source project. In this sense, the talk will be interesting for a wide range of developers and will be both instructive and entertaining.
