• 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. But don't miss this episode for the resolution of all this, fun on Google and money, programming languages and more. Much more.

• LI_S02E30_The_Five_Year_Plan_again

  In this anniversary episode our two ageing heroes recount the last five years of the Inlaws and the progress of the famous five year plan (as avid listeners will probably recall from earlier anniversary episodes - if you can't, there's always the back-catalogue). Plus some more NoSQL/Cache Software Bashing. In case you're interested...

• LI_S02E29_The_Free_Software_Foundation

  In this episode the Inlaws host Zoë Kooyman and Greg Farough from the Free Software Foundation (FSF), one of the backbones of the FLOSS movement. Home to many primordial projects including the GNU congregation of free software such as Emacs and its compiler collection, the FSF can look back on forty years of shaping the FLOSS ecosystem in a way that few other organisations have managed to achieve. So if you wanted to know why Emacs is actually an operating system rather than just an editor, what the FSF really is beyond Richard M. Stallman and what's in store for the FSF, then you don't want to miss this episode! Plus bonus content: the low-down on Dutch street organs and a really well-kept Dutch secret (woa!).
