    [DE] Jupiter HPC für die Wissenschaft - mit A Herten und B von St Vieth

    Deutsche Ausgabe: Anfang September 2025 wurde der neue Hochleistungsrechner Jupiter in Betrieb genommen, mit viel Fanfaren und Prominenz. Zurecht, denn Jupiter ist der schnellste Rechner in Europa. Aber wie kriegt man so eine Maschine am Laufen? Und wie kann man sie instand halten. Das habe ich mit meinen Gästen Andreas Herten und Benedikt von St Vieth vom Forschungszentrum Jülich diskutiert.  Das ist die letzte Folge der 10. Serie von Code for Thought. Und es geht am 3. Februar 2026 wieder mit der 11. Serie weiter (einschließlich deutschsprachiger Folgen). Alles Gute für die Feiertage und 2026!  Get in touch Thank you for listening! Merci de votre écoute!

    [EN] PyMoDAQ: No more reinventing the wheel - with Sébastien Weber

    Connecting instruments and managing data transfer between machines is bread and butter stuff for scientists. But you don't want to do the same thing each time you get a new machine or change to another one. Which is why my guest Sébastien Weber from Toulouse, France, created PyMoDAQ, an Open Source Python tool to help you with automating all of that.  Links: https://pymodaq.cnrs.fr/en/latest/https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGdoHByMKfIdn-N51goippSSP_9iG4wds YouTube playlisthttps://jt-pymodaq25.sciencesconf.org/?lang=enhttps://github.com/PyMoDAQ/PyMoDAQ GitHub repohttps://github.com/CEMES-CNRS/pymodaq_plugin_managerPapers: https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0032116 Review of scientific instruments paperhttps://www.scientia.global/dr-sebastien-weber-pymodaq-navigating-the-future-of-data-acquisition/https://www.photoniques.com/articles/photon/pdf/2024/06/photon2024129p25.pdfSome of the technology stack: https://www.pyqtgraph.org Python QT interfacehttps://doc.qt.io/qt-5/https://riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/intro PyQTGet in touch Thank you for listening!

    [EN] Getting to grips with the Coding Interview - Mike Mroczka

    Job interviews and coding tests are daunting. But most of us have to go through them at least once in our lives. Like Mike Mroczka, my guest, who is a software engineer. To share his experiences and help others he wrote a book how to get on top of coding interviews: "Beyond Cracking the Coding Interview". I met with Mike to discuss how interviewing and testing coding skills have changed, what the common pitfalls are that candidates should look out for and what it is we can do to prepare ourselves for the (coding) interview.  Links: https://www.mikemroczka.com Mike's home pagehttps://www.beyondctci.com the book's homepagehttps://www.crackingthecodinginterview.com Cracking the Coding Interview bookhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/daisyaugerdominguez/2025/06/29/when-to-change-jobs/  article on people changing jobshttps://interviewing.iohttps://codesignal.comhttps://www.hackerrank.comhttps://leetcode.comhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKu_SEDAykw Google example interviewhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-v1OLMjG52I Monty Python's Silly Job Interview sketch Get in touch Thank you for listening!
