• Programming for Fun with David Beazley

  We have an entertaining and wide-ranging discussion with prominent computer scientist and educator David Beazley, known for his many contributions to the Python community.  We talk about why programming is fun, and how he has created his memorable conference talks and innovative programming classes.  We also touch on music, theater, academic life, and, of course, Dave's No Doubt tribute band.Show Notes:https://www.dabeaz.com/Sans-IO  (https://sans-io.readthedocs.io/)Rust elevator origin story (https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/02/14/1067869/rust-worlds-fastest-growing-programming-language/)Book: "Understanding Software Dynamics", by Richard Sites.

• Simulating Distributed Systems with David Morrison

  Every once in a while you come across a project where you’re like “Oh, dang, wish I’d thought of that”.   That’s the case with this week’s guest, David R. Morrison.  David is the founder of Applied Computing Research Labs (ACRL), and the creator of Simkube which allows you to record-and-replay Kubernetes simulations.  Recently, he published an article in ACMQueue called "Simulation: An Underutilized Tool in Distributed Systems", which talks about simulation of distributed systems in general and his work with Simkube to analyze two Kubernetes autoscalers: KCA and Karpenter.Links- ACM Queue Article: "Simulation: An Underutilized Tool in Distributed Systems"- Applied Computing Research Labs- Simkube Homepage- Simkube Github Repo- "SimKube: Part 1 - Why do we need a simulator?"- "Autoscaling Mesos Clusters with Clusterman"Send us a text
