A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren’t meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world. Land art you’ll visit in this episode: - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada) - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah) - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah) - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico) - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona) Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.…

Why build an open-source FTP server in Rust? Sometimes, I must admit I’m a little dazzled by all the languages, frameworks and stuff our engineers work with. So, when our guest of today explained to me some of the intriguing aspects of the language we will be discussing in this episode I had to stretch my mind a little. I managed and could follow his explanation.
What this episode covers
And I found a great topic for this podcast.

In the episode, we explore the Rust programming language and our first open-source code in this language: unFTP. When you need to FTP but you don't want to. We will show you the advantages of using this FTP server in the Cloud for the cases that still require you to FTP.

What we discussed

The programming language Rust
- What is Rust and why is it so popular?
- What programs are written in Rust?
- Why should software engineers learn Rust?
The project unFTP
- Why unFTP?
- Where does the need for a cloud FTP server stem from?
unFTP as Open Source project
- We open sourced unFTP. What are we trying to achieve by doing this?
- What are the results so far?
- Did it help that unFTP featured on This week in Rust?

Guests

Hannes de Jager – Software engineer for the retailer bol.com
Rob Klein Gunnewiek - we called him System Engineer Extraordinaire last time he was on the show. Besides that, he is one of our Site Reliability guru's.

In early April the latest version of our Retailer API was launched. Given the importance of the API for almost 15.000 partners this was again a major step. Over the years the retailer API became the heart and soul of our ecosystem. What this episode covers But this path wasn't always that obvious. It took vision, decisiveness and perseverance to get this far. In this episode, we explore this journey. The importance of the Retailer API API’s are considered a major part of a serious platform. They enable growth and stability. The 80/20 rule applies when it comes to the usage of the partners of their interaction with bol.com. 80 per cent of the sellers use the seller dashboard, 20 per cent the Retailer API. But when it comes to the number of orders, it’s the other way around. 80 per cent via the API and 20 per cent via the dashboard. And if you imagine that over 50% of the goods being bought at bol.com are goods from our partners, it shows the importance of this API. What we discussed about the Retailer API (Application Programming Interface) What is an API in simple terms? Why is API used? How did we start the API? What functionality is in the API? What is API and types of API? What is API to API integration? What is API example? How does the API interact in the Landscape? How do we balance "adding new functionality" vs. "maintenance" Why became the Retailer API the heart and soul of the ecosystem? Guests Maarten Roosendaal – Business Architect / Product Owner for our Retailer API; Jarno Walgemoed - Owner at Sourcelabs; Software engineer with a strong focus on partner API’s at bol.com and host of the sourcelabs podcast Notes In an earlier episode, we talked about API development for bol.com and we also touched upon the Open API. The API is used for customer interactions. https://techlab.bol.com/api-development-for-the-retail-platform/ API Developers can find more information here: https://developers.bol.com/…
