  • 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.

    • [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

      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

    • 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.
