SUMMARY:#12: "Resilient Payment Systems: How bank transfers actually work (most of the time)" by Jacek Miloszewski and "There's No Such Thing As Plain Text" by Dylan Beattie
DESCRIPTION:Schedule #\n\n\n18:00 – 18:30\nMeet and Greet\n\n\n18:30 – 19:00\n“Resilient Payment Systems: How bank transfers actually work (most of the time)” by Jacek Miloszewski \nEver wondered what happens behind the scenes when you send money? In this talk\, I’ll take you under the hood of how Form3 helps banks handle inter-bank transfers at scale. We’ll dive into the high-stakes world of security\, compliance\, and volume\, and how we’ve built the architecture (and the teams) to handle it all. I’ll cover the practical side of running a mission-critical system\, including: scaling teams\, regulatory hurdles and hardened security. \n\n\n\n19:00 – 19:15\nBreak\n\n\n19:15 – 19:45\n“There’s No Such Thing As Plain Text” by Dylan Beattie \nWhen we say something is a plain text file\, we’re relying on a huge number of assumptions – about operating systems\, editors\, file formats\, language\, culture\, history… and\, most of the time\, that’s OK. But when it goes wrong\, good old plain text can lead to some of the weirdest bugs you’ve ever seen. Join Dylan Beattie for a fascinating look into the hidden world of text files – from the history of mechanical teletypes\, to how emoji skin tones actually work. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility #\nOur venue is wheelchair accessible\, and we provide on-site assistance for anyone requiring additional support during the meetup. While we currently do not offer live captioning for talks\, we are committed to creating an inclusive environment and welcome all participants. Please contact the organisers with any specific accessibility requirements. \n\n\nFood and drinks #\nLearning new things and socialising with others is a lot easier when you are properly energised. Pizza\, some sweets and beverages are on us. There is something for everyone: pepperoni pizza\, vegan ones\, fizzy drinks\, water and a selection of beers. You are welcome!
