Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 885 ratings
  • Like the format and topics

    This podcast has the things I want in a pod:

    1) Interesting and varied topics with knowledgeable guests.

    2) Hosts who are clearly knowledgeable, interested, and prepared for the interview.

    3) Interviews are not rushed to fit an artificial schedule. I hate it when things are not given the time they deserve because they hit the 40 minute (or whatever) mark and it gets cut off.

    4) It also remains chill. Everyone is interested in the discussion but not acting like they’ve had 10 cups of coffee or in... more

  • Host is lagging behind.

    Podcast host asking questions that are not follows conversation line. It seems to me that questions prepared before the dialog and in spite of conversation questions asked most of the time have no relation to the conversation flow.

  • Good Podcast for devs with a variety of topics

    I really enjoy the podcast especially the variety of topics discussed. What I would really love to see in the future is improved audio quality since some episodes are really terrible to listen to so that at least I can’t understand the discussion in a good way.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SE Radio 695: Dave Thomas on Building eBooks Infrastructure
Q: So you're obviously writing your own tools for this because there was nothing before. Authors can build everything locally. If you want, and you can put a bit more work into all your code examples, just for the listeners.
Actually, some of our authors also have an automated set of cherry-pick tools that they use with that.
SE Radio 695: Dave Thomas on Building eBooks Infrastructure
Q: Would the PDF reader not do that for you or would that just be?
They kind of can now. You can actually tell it to turn off pagination and do that kind of reflowing. It messes it up more than it gets it right.
SE Radio 695: Dave Thomas on Building eBooks Infrastructure
Q: Did they give you any help to render and produce them?
We didn't have to do anything. We were always generating mobis and EPUBs as part of our process. And so we just basically stopped sending them mobis.
SE Radio 695: Dave Thomas on Building eBooks Infrastructure
Q: So the show is called Building E-Books Infrastructure, so we need to lay the foundation. So I'd like to start with an overview of what an e-book is.
An e-book is fundamentally just the text of a book in some kind of accessible format to electronics.
SE Radio 694: Jennings Anderson and Amy Rose on Overture Maps
Q: Can you tell us what the Esri Living Atlas is?
Esri Living Atlas is basically a compilation of a variety of different datasets that are put together to operate as an out-of-the-box space map.
