Episode Description: Jessica B. Harris may have been born and raised in New York City, but she has Tennessee roots through her father and has spent much of her life split between homes in the Northeast and the South – specifically New Orleans. For more than fifty years, she has been a college professor, a writer, and a lecturer, and her many books have earned her a reputation as an authority on food of the African Diaspora, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the James Beard Foundation. A few years back, Netflix adapted her book, High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America , into a 4 part docuseries. And I’m very proud to say that she’s a longtime contributor to Southern Living with a regular column called The Welcome Table. This episode was recorded in the Southern Living Birmingham studios, and Sid and Jessica talked about her mother’s signature mac and cheese, the cast-iron skillet she’d be sure to save if ever her house were on fire, and her dear friend, the late New Orleans chef Leah Chase.

After technical difficulties with the first attempt of this episode, Chris and Jeff talk about all things streaming media! The long-awaited AppleTV 4 has finally arrived, and Jeff breaks down why you can’t watch your favorite sports team without jumping through hoops. AppleTV 4 Chris used to have a crappy Linksys router, but ended up purchasing the Apple AirPort Extreme router. 802.11ac has multi-station WLAN throughput of at least 1 gigabit per second and a single link throughput of at least 500 megabits per second. The AppleTV doesn’t have gigabit ethernet Best new app for the Apple TV? Plex The AppleTV remote is pretty great. A walk down TiVo memory lane. Jeff prefers to watch The Daily Show on his MythTV setup because he can skip the commercials… until they added copy protection! Copy Control bits encrypt the channel streams, and don’t let you record without the decryption key. John Oliver may have stolen our hearts. And he posts the long videos on youtube for free! Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption “The Goal Is to Become HBO Faster Than HBO Can Become Us” HBO uses MLB’s streaming infrastructure Andy Samberg and the HBO CEO love giving out HBO GO passwords! To binge , or not to binge? That is the question.…

The website is down The financial district in Manhattan is the current delivery zone for Maple Maple uses Go and MongoDB Dan’s only prior restaurant experience I don’t want to taco ‘bout it Other food delivery companies are trying different spins on delivery. Sprig has surge pricing and Munchery delivers food cold Casper delivers mattresses by bike messenger in New York City Maple’s javascript frontend is using React and some Mithril internally Deciding how to deliver their food in the most efficient way possible is more complex than just the travelling salesman problem Maple ruled out using scala early on Leaving node Go doesn’t have generics Nginx uses round-robin for load balancing by default Maple is using Linode for now…

Chris and Jeff are back from Montreal Canada where they attended PyCon 2015! This episode they are joined by two very special guests Mary Nagle and Karina Runziov , two software engineers in the industry. We’re totally (not) live from PyCon 2015! Our collective favorite, one of the keynotes by Jacob Kaplan-Moss Guido van Rossum the founder of the Python programming language doesn’t really like keynote speeches Ruby is really old Does Guido do tickets? Running Python without an OS David Beazley talks about Python Concurrency and the crowd goes wild. Mary tells us what happens when you type ‘python’ and press enter Chris learns about the inner workings of python, and his mind is blown Strange behaviors in Python and jumping into the C part of the interpreter Hash functions , and the best ways to use them! DOCKERIZE ALL THE THINGS! Demystifying the mysteries of docker CoreOS and containers are fun! An empty repository for our docker and ansible work Python profiling for better optimizations, and how mongo and node are really fast To Python, or not to Python. That is the question Strace is pretty awesome, apparently. pgcli is amazing Mary loves standup, but only in Canada Going to portland next year? Will Jeff do a talk? We shall see!…
