Wer redet ist nicht tot: Holgi spricht mit dem stellvertretenden Chefredakteur der Wochenzeitung DIE ZEIT
Ich hatte Gelegenheit, Bernd Ulrich, den stellvertretenden Chefredakteur der Wochenzeitung DIE ZEIT, zu treffen und ihn zu fragen, was so insgesamt denn eigentlich hier los ist. Er sagt, wir würden alle in einem Albtraum leben, und es sei dringend nötig, dass wir uns daraus befreien – und der Politik dabei helfen, uns dabei zu helfen.
Aufbau, Funktion und Aufgabe des CMS-Detektors am CERN
Der CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) ist einer der beiden Detektoren, die gemeinsam den Nachweis des Higgs-Bosons ermöglicht haben und ist eine dieser gigantischen Strukturen 100m unter der Erde am CERN and dem die vom LHC beschleunigten Teilchen untersucht werden.
Wie schon in den ersten beiden Raumzeit-Folgen der CERN-Serie ist der Gesprächspartner wieder ein Österreicher: Wolfgang Adam vom Institut für Hochenergiephysik.
A Poet's Guide to Product Management with Peter Bogart-Johnson
Peter Bogart-Johnson was one of Jane Street’s first program managers, and helped bring the art of PMing—where that “P” variously stands for “project,” “product,” or some blend of the two—to the company at large. He’s also a poet and the editor of a literary magazine. In this episode, Peter and Ron discuss the challenge of gaining trust as an outsider: how do you teach teams a new way of doing things while preserving what’s already working? The key, Peter says, is you listen; a good PM is an anthropologist. They also discuss how paying down technical debt isn’t something you do instead of serving customers; what Jane Street looks for in PM candidates; and how to help teams coordinate in times of great change.
It was all a dream: Hip-hop turns 50
Two turntables and a microphone. That was all DJ Kool Herc had 50 years ago when he planted the seeds of what would become hip-hop. Today, we’ll hear directly from some of the genre’s biggest stars about how hip-hop took over the U.S.
Die ersten beiden Folgen aus der CERN-Serie sind fest in wiener Hand:
The Future of Programming with Richard Eisenberg
Richard Eisenberg is one of the core maintainers of Haskell. He recently joined Jane Street’s Tools and Compilers team, where he hacks on the OCaml compiler. He and Ron discuss the powerful language feature that got him into PL design in the first place—dependent types—and its role in a world where AIs can (somewhat) competently write your code for you. They also discuss the differences between Haskell and OCaml; the perils of trying to make a language that works for everybody; and how best a company like Jane Street can collaborate with the open source community.
