       "description": "Who likes paying to ride the subway? Sure, you could hop the fare gates, but that can be athletically challenging and simply isn’t cool enough for our tastes. What’s a mischievous and miserly rider to do, then? Hack the fare system of course! In this talk we'll walk you through how we, four high school students and cybersecurity noobs became the first to fully reverse engineer Boston’s CharlieCard fare system and earn ourselves free rides for life… or at least until the system gets fixed, whichever comes first.",

+      "description": "The D programming language has been quietly growing for well over two decades. This modern programming language supports multiple programming paradigms, a range of memory safety features, and an ecosystem with 3 open source compilers. So why should an open source developer consider learning or using the D programming language? In this talk I will show examples of how D has replaced all of my Python code for my projects, and why I think D truly is a language that allows you to write fast, read fast, and run fast code. I will introduce the language, several of my favorite productivity features, and tools in the D programming language ecosystem. Throughout the talk, the audience will also be pointed to several open source tools written in the D language to be inspired from. Audience members looking for a new language to learn, or otherwise the programming language enthusiast may also benefit from a tour of the D language and its features.",
