• LI_S02E34_Modern_Python

  In this episode Python is the center of the attention. More precisely CPython, which is the reference implementation Guido van Rossum (the inventor of the language) started all those years ago in the early nineties. As Martin had to skive off to some FLOSS conference, Chris hosts Mark Shannon and Eric Snow, two CPython coredevs (also featuring Mike Müller, a Python Software Foundation fellow, thrown in for good measure), If you still think that Python is some slow interpreted language only good for esoteric big data problems never mind that latest fad called machine learning and AI in general, you don't want to miss this episode. As all of these myths are debunked. And then some. So fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the show!

• LI_S02E33_Telecomms_and_FLOSS

  This episode is witness to a riveting discussion about the usage of FLOSS in the telecoms industry. Which goes back approximately fifty years with Ericsson (a large Swedish telco equipment manufacturer) coming up with Erlang, a programming language still prominently used in projects such as RabbitMQ. Listen to our two heroes apply their semi-existent knowledge about FLOSS in general and telecommunications in particular in this mind-boggling episode. Plus bonus content in the shape of a crash course on the history of the telecom industry, a peek behind the scenes of iOS (or to put it another way: the gory details of this mobile operating system that you have always wanted to know but were afraid to ask) and outlook to a future episode of your beloved podcast (gasp!).

• LI_S02E32_FLOSS_in_the_real_estate_biz

  In this episode, Martin and Chris talk about the use of FLOSS in real estate. Chris laments his big landowner woes which he got into after inheriting a zoo of different pieces of real estate some time ago. And how he solved this using FLOSS components that put sense into half-baked billing information coming from property management companies and how a neural net was recruited to help along the way. Even if you're not insane but just curious about how it's done you don't want to miss this episode. Plus bonus content about what happened to format of the show and why that was.

• LI_S02E31_Talking_Kotlin

  In this episode Martin and Chris host Hadi Hariri and Sebastian Aigner from Jetbrains to talk about Kotlin, IDEs, world domination and many other topics. Such as politics (maybe). And protein bars and their rise to fame in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. And how Google was actually kidnapped. Confused? You should be.
