Nem, Very nice! I have bookmarked the Grails web app. Do you have any comments regarding how development went? Any lessons learned to tell?

HI Mike, 

the development was pretty smooth. All together about 9 hours of work :) Grails spoiled me big time. Oh, and Twitter Bootstrap as well. I don't think I will use anything else besides twitter bootstrap for my css framework ever again!

Anyway, the web app is hosted on appfog which is another life saver for smaller java applications. Their free tier gives you 2GB of RAM which is plenty for running jvm.

As far as the android app, I used phone gap. But i think we had a thread about the phone gap, so I won't go into details. 

The app communicates with the web app pulling the events data in JSONP format. One thing I learned is that you must specify JSONP data type when using phone gap or any other cross domain ajax calls. 

Anyway, thanks for checking it out!

I'd be glad to talk about my projects. I have another project that i think would be very interesting to talk about. It is another Grails project that uses atmosphere https://github.com/Atmosphere/

That sounds good, Nem. Thanks. Of the three, the Grails app would be first case study choice, the Android app second and the Atmosphere app third. That is, unless you'd like to talk about them as 2 case studies: the Grails/Android G'Ville Events apps and the Atmosphere app. We get the best turnout with more standard presentations these days, rather than very unique topics.

Article: The Road to Artificial Intelligence: An Ethical Minefield

Increasingly-rapid developments in the field of AI have offered society profound benefits but also produced complex ethical dilemmas. Many of the most nefarious issues are often overlooked, even in the engineering community. There also exists the meta-ethical question of who ought to be the ones making decisions concerning the encoding of values into autonomous systems.

Swift 6 Will Bring Improved Concurrency Support and Memory Ownership

Swift development lead Ted Kremenek has announced a preliminary vision of what Swift 6 could include and how the community will get there on Swift's mailing list. Swift 6 will bring significant improvements to the language, including better concurrency support and memory ownership. No fixed timeline has been set yet, though, which leads to think it will not happen in 2020.
