[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 https://www.cisco.com/ https://automattic.com/ https://www.arin.net/resources/guide/asn/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_service_provider https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_area_network https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/routing-information-protocol-rip/13769-5.html https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/border-gateway-protocol-bgp/13753-25.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_exchange_point https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peering
