Command Line Heroes Podcast
- krutzger 9y agoWith Cron weakly taking a break, this could not have come at a better time!
- kureikain 9y agoSorry for hijacking your comment thread. But you may interested in my news letter https://betterdev.link https://betterdev.link I inspired a lot by Cron Weekly.
- pselbert 9y agoThere was a promo for this on the most recent changelog. The term “heroes” seems a bit hyperbolic, but I’m intrigued.
- chiefalchemist 9y agoHow about Ones & Zeros instead?
- hamandcheese 9y agoI just started listening. The production quality is far above what I was expecting from a podcast! Enjoying it so far.
- walshemj 9y agoWhy doing a podcast with a single presenter and getting BBC quality audio isn't that hard these day a decent 2x2 audio interface and some decent mics Shure Sm58's will do quite well with your preferred DAW which will often have presets for podcasts.
- webreac 9y agoThe early releases of Linux were on floppy disks. More than 20 disks. You could not compile the kernel while X was running unless you had at least 8 Mb. I was the lucky owner of a 486dx33 with 16 Mb.
- DrScump 9y agoMore than 20 disks. Hence, the copyfest era -- meetings where people brought machines and blank floppies to spread the gospel.
- ridiculous_fish 9y agoLinux required a hardware FPU, which the 030 Mac IIsi did not have. I bought and installed a daughterboard that provided a math coprocessor, allowing me to install Linux on my Mac, circa mid 90s.
- pjmlp 9y agoMy first Linux distribution was Slackware 2.0, bought during 1995 Summer. It came on a CD-ROM, whose contents I had to copy into the hard disk and start the installation from there, because IDE CD-ROM drives were mostly unsupported. My monitor was 1024x768, but X could not do higher than 800x600 with my card. Nowadays I have Ubuntu on my travel laptop, and still have hardware acceleration issues with its Brazos GPU.
- s0mesayitsluck 9y agoinconsistent file naming. no obvious download button. the "previous episodes" and the "part one & part two" episodes are the same episodes with different links, menu paths.
- electricslpnsld 9y agoListening to episode 1, overall pretty good. I was surprised to hear no mention of NeXT, especially given some of the focus on post-Jobs-return Apple.
- ghaff 9y agoI was discussing the lead in with a colleague last week. There are just so many threads to how we arrived at where we are today simply in terms of operating systems. You could probably have a whole podcast series on that alone. I once helped write an expert witness report that tried to bring in all the AT&T, BSD, Unix Wars, etc. threads and it was hard to keep it comprehensible. Keeping it around Microsoft and Apple in their modern forms probably makes it more approachable for a broader audience.
- pjmlp 9y agoWhile I agree with the constraints, it kind of distorts the past for those too young to have lived through it.
- rossta 9y agoIf you like this, you may be interested to know the host, Saron Yitbarek, produces some other podcasts including CodeNewbie and BaseCS. * https://www.codenewbie.org/podcast https://www.codenewbie.org/podcast * https://www.codenewbie.org/basecs https://www.codenewbie.org/basecs

- holmberd 9y agoAdded, looking forward to giving it a listen.
