This episode is host to Mirko Böhm from the Linux Foundation Europe, a subsidiary of the largest industry association (aka the Linux Foundation) for FLOSS projects on the planet. This marks another record achievement for the Inlaws as with only roughly three minutes of length it's the shortest episode ever recorded for this podcast never mind other shows in this realm. Well, almost. Curious about this and other details? Then don't miss this show!

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!

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!).

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.

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!).

LI_S02E28_A_kernel_slightly_rusty

for 15 weeks siden

This episode shines some light on a new (?) technology entering the Linux kernel. Traditionally the Linux has been programmed using C, a programming language almost as old as our two hosts, and assembler for the machine-dependent parts which cannot be done in C. A few years back a couple of kernel devs started to explore the possibility of using a modern, much safer system programming language by the name of Rust (as featured quite a few times on this podcast in the past - check out the back catalog for the details). Even if you're not a kernel dev check out the episode if you're interested in kernel programming or the use of Rust in system programming in general.
