Call for lightning talk speakers
by Gareth Lloyd 03 Sep '26

03 Sep '26

We're running a lightning talk night in October, and we'd like you on the bill. 🎤 Talks are 5-20 minutes, on anything a room of software developers would enjoy: a tool you rely on, a bug that haunted you, a language feature, a side project, something you learned the hard way. 🌱 Never spoken before? This is a friendly room to start in, and we're happy to help you shape the talk. 📝 Pitch a talk here: https://lnkd.in/eUhMbkCk 🕡 Wednesday, Oct 7, 2026 @ 6:30 PM 📍 Patch, The Bonding Warehouse, Terry Ave, York YO1 6FA (our amazing venue sponsors Patch)

ACCU York [September 2026]: Looking at the pages of computing systems
by Gareth Lloyd 14 Aug '26

14 Aug '26

Hello ACCU friends, ACCU York's next meetup is coming up, and all are welcome. 🗣️ Speaker: Opeyemi Folorunsho 📌 Talk: Looking at the pages of computing systems 📅 Wednesday 2nd Sep 2026 🕡 Doors 6:30 PM, talk starts 7:00 PM 📍 Patch, The Bonding Warehouse, Terry Ave, York YO1 6FA In computing, few words are as deceptively simple as "page." We page memory, flush dirty pages to disk, traverse B-tree pages, paginate APIs, and build web pages. The same word turns up across hardware, operating systems, databases, distributed systems, and user interfaces, yet it rarely means the same thing twice. This talk traces "page" from its origins in virtual memory through storage engines, buffer pools, write-ahead logs, and modern web architectures, looking at how page size encodes hardware assumptions, how page boundaries affect performance and consistency, and how pagination shapes how people interact with data. By connecting memory pages, disk pages, database pages, web pages, and API pages, the talk builds a shared mental model: a page is a boundary, and boundaries define isolation, locality, latency, and scale. About the speaker: Opeyemi Folorunsho is a software engineer and technology leader specialising in distributed systems, data infrastructure, and high-performance financial platforms. As Vice President of Research and Development at Moniepoint, he leads work on scalable transaction processing, ledger systems, and platform engineering across cloud and multi-cluster environments. His interests include database internals, consensus systems, storage engines, and large-scale event streaming, and how theoretical foundations such as information theory, concurrency control, and queueing theory map onto real-world system performance. 🍕 Food will be provided - let us know any dietary requirements. 🔗 We finish with Q&A, networking, and a drink.

Event: Time Travel Debugging [1st Oct 2025]
by Gareth Lloyd 21 Sep '25

21 Sep '25

Talk by Greg Law Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. With the new generation of time travelling debuggers it doesn't have to be that way! Time travel lets you see exactly what your program did: full memory + registers for every line that executed. There are open-source and commercial products available today for C++ that work with code at scale. Undo have time travel debugging capabilities for C, C++, Go, Rust, Java, and Kotlin. About the speaker: Greg Law Greg is the founder of Undo. He is a coder at heart, but likes to bridge the gap between the business and software worlds. Greg has 20 years’ experience in the software industry and has held development and management roles at companies including the pioneering British computer firm Acorn, as well as fast-growing start ups, NexWave and Solarflare. Greg has overseen the company as it transitioned from his garden shed to a scaling, award-winning business. Greg holds a PhD from City University, London and was nominated for the 2001 British Computer Society Distinguished Dissertation Award. He lives in Cambridge, UK with his wife and two children.
