    How does a web dev become a CPU engineer? w/ Alex (aolo2)

    Welcome to the first episode of Unwind in podcast form! Web developer turned CPU engineer Alex (aolo2) joins us to discuss three amazing programs he made from scratch: a collaborative whiteboard, a chat application, and a processor trace viewer. For those listening via a podcast feed, welcome to Unwind. Unwind started as a live interview show on Twitch, but this year we've decided to change the format and bring it to podcast platforms. We're still keeping the old Handmade Network Podcast episodes around, so you can listen through the backlog at any time. This episode is intended to be watched in video form. We recommend watching on YouTube or Spotify.

    How The Internet Works, w/ Tyler Leeds & Rudy Faile

    Tyler Leeds is a network engineer for Automattic. He works as a member of a small team that manages a massive network, responsible for a massive portion of the entire web. He and Rudy Faile, a coworker of Tyler's, community member, and former podcast guest, join us in this episode to dig into the guts of how networking works at a lower level. We discuss both the technical and human aspects of how the Internet comes together, and what that means for software developers. Tyler was kind enough to provide a practical example of a BGP update (which we discuss in the podcast) in action for us to check out: https://handmade.network/static/media/podcast/hmn/bgp_example.txt https://www.cisco.com/ https://automattic.com/ https://www.arin.net/resources/guide/asn/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_service_provider https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_area_network https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/routing-information-protocol-rip/13769-5.html https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/border-gateway-protocol-bgp/13753-25.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_exchange_point https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peering

    Examining Computer Science Education, w/ Demetri Spanos

    Demetri Spanos is a machine learning expert, PhD recipient, and former university professor. In this episode, he joins us again to discuss the subject of education, particularly in universities. We dig into the perceived problems of computer science and software engineering education, whether they are real or serious, why they are there, how they have been solved elsewhere, and how we might solve them in the future. https://www.caltech.edu/ https://www.usc.edu/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem https://ncu.libguides.com/writingresources/synthesis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_men_and_an_elephant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(software_platform) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming https://nodejs.org/en/ https://www.olin.edu/
