For several reasons I didn't do mountains this weekend. But I enjoyed a nice cozy loop in the vicinity to the #kirchsee.
At this spot I made a quick stop and thought: #silentsunday! Not even wind. Just a lake, view, mountains in the distance and me and my bike.

Yksi tapa pidentää tavaroiden käyttöikää on esteettinen korjaus tai jopa tyylin uudistus. Kulumien tai värimuutosten yhteydessä toteutustapa on usein maalaus.
Aina ei voi tietää, miten muutos onnistuu, mutta silloin vaikuttaa onnistumiselta, jos bussissa nuorisolainen toteaa, että "sinulla on sairaan hieno reppu".

Data Management System Analysis for Distributed Computing Workloads
Large-scale international collaborations such as ATLAS rely on globally distributed workflows and data management to process, move, and store vast volumes of data. ATLAS's Production and Distributed Analysis (PanDA) workflow system and the Rucio data management system are each highly optimized for their respective design goals. However, operating them together at global scale exposes systemic inefficiencies, including underutilized resources, redundant or unnecessary transfers, and altered erro…

Incentives and Outcomes in Bug Bounties
Bug bounty programs have contributed significantly to security in technology firms in the last decade, but little is known about the role of reward incentives in producing useful outcomes. We analyze incentives and outcomes in Google's Vulnerability Rewards Program (VRP), one of the world's largest bug bounty programs. We analyze the responsiveness of the quality and quantity of bugs received to changes in payments, focusing on a change in Google's reward amounts posted in July, 2024, in which …

CGSim: A Simulation Framework for Large Scale Distributed Computing Environment
Large-scale distributed computing infrastructures such as the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) require comprehensive simulation tools for evaluating performance, testing new algorithms, and optimizing resource allocation strategies. However, existing simulators suffer from limited scalability, hardwired algorithms, lack of real-time monitoring, and inability to generate datasets suitable for modern machine learning approaches. We present CGSim, a simulation framework for large-scale distribu…
