- htopg 4y agoAn intricate topic like this works better as a written article. Podcasts are more for people who want to listen to some lowbrow stuff while driving.
- one_more_q 4y agoSorry but this is just your opinion. I Listen to tons of very technical podcasts and it works great. If you are interested in technology, check out the omega tau podcast for example.
- psYchotic 4y agoOr, ironically, the podcast of the guy he responded to, adamgordonbell: https://corecursive.com/ https://corecursive.com/ It's a podcast I've really been enjoying for a few years now. It used to be a little more technical (as the name, corecursive, kinda implies), but found a niche in interviewing people more about the people than the tech they're knowledgeable about, which is also very pleasant. Anyway, I encourage you to listen to both an early and a recent episode to find out if you like it.
- someguydave 4y agoThis article is pretty lowbrow, not much technical meat and lots of ephemeral kibitzing.
- andirk 4y agoI call them subscription mp3 audio files.
- jdougan 4y agoDo it anyways. Dave Mills and NTP deserves it. Also: Olson timezone database and its various maintainers. Paul Eggert is the current maintainer, I think. Arthur David Olson could be interesting as well.
