These are our final two thoughts about the past, present and future of Cardano in the spirit of an olde English counting song. There's one for each of The Twelve Days of Christmas, from December 25 to January 5, published in four batches. You can look back to the first batch, which went out on Christmas Eve.

Day 11. Charles Morgan, head of cybersecurity

My brief takes in a wide range of activities, from the obvious aspects of securing our websites, to advising staff on their physical safety on their travels (such as putting a wedge under a hotel bedroom door!), and enforcing two-factor authentication for almost 250 people around the world (Yubikeys…

We're putting out some thoughts about the past, present and future in the spirit of an olde English counting song. There's one for each of The Twelve Days of Christmas, from December 25 to January 5, and they are being published in batches. Here are three for the next few days.

Day 8. Gerard Moroney, operations director

In the past year, we’ve changed the way we write software for Cardano. Our development philosophy has gone from trying to plan very accurately huge releases to a much more agile process where we release small increments often. We’ve taken a very incremental, step-by-step approach and that has helped build up confidence in our people, in our company, and in the community at large. I…

We're putting out some thoughts about the past, present and future in the spirit of an olde English counting song. There's one for each of The Twelve Days of Christmas, from December 25 to January 5. The first four went out together and here are three for the next few days.

Day 5. Romain Pellerin, technology chief

It’s been a really satisfying year after delivering so much. There was the Byron reboot, then Shelley, and we have just released Allegra for token locking and are preparing Mary for native tokens. We have been digesting years of research and science with strong engineering – and creating a community with the stake pool operators for example. It’s been a very intense year. I am extremely proud of the team and the way they were…

‘May you live in interesting times’ is a saying that seems apt for these turbulent days. The talk in the past few years has been of disruptive technologies – then along comes the coronavirus to show the human race what disruption really means. And 2020 feels like a watershed time; what happens afterwards will not be the same as what has gone before. As the year ends, though, we…

フィリップ・ワドラー教授は、マニュエル・チャクラヴァティとともにブロックチェーンのスマートプログラミング言語であるPlutusの共同作成者として多くのCardanoユーザーに知られています。コンピューター言語と関数型プログラミングに関する彼の業績は、教授職、数々の賞、エディンバラ王立協会のフェローシップとして結実しました。Java、Haskell、XQueryばかりでなく、関数型言語を使ったことがある人は誰でも、ワドラーの仕事から恩恵を受けています。

今月、ワドラーは世界最古の科学アカデミーである王立協会のフェローに就任し、ニュートンを含む科学の巨匠の仲間入りを果たします。FRSと称されるのです。

この受賞は、マイクロプロセッサーの時代とデジタル技術の隆盛期にまたがるキャリアの証です。学術研究の貢献度はh-Indexシステムで測定されます。2…
