    [HMS2022] Memory Strategies: The Merits of (Un)safe

    [HMS2022] Memory Strategies: The Merits of (Un)safe

    Happy Thanksgiving! This is a rebroadcast of the memory safety podcast from Handmade Seattle 2022.

    Allen Webster (creator of 4coder) interviews three guests on the hotly-contested topic of memory safety:

    - Evan Ovadia, creator of the Vale programming language (https://vale.dev/)
    - Ryan Fleury, game developer and employee at Epic Games Tools (formerly RAD Game Tools) (https://www.rfleury.com/)
    - John Austin, founder of Pontoco, the game studio known for their VR game The Last Clockwinder (https://pontoco.com/)

    We hope you learn something about memory allocation and memory safety, and we hope that this can be a model for difficult programming conversations in the future!

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

    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

    The Web's Problems & Future, w/ Ben Visness and Asaf Gartner

    Ben Visness and Asaf Gartner—web development professionals and Handmade Network staff members—join us in this episode. We discuss the problems that the web is trying to solve, the source of performance problems in web-based software, how the web could improve practically in the short-term, and how it could improve dramatically in the long-term.

    Examining Computer Science Education, w/ Demetri Spanos

    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.
