  • Five to Four : “a podcast about how much the Supreme Court sucks” with Peter from If Books Could Kill which got quite a few mentions

    Embedded.fm : best tech podcast I know, nominally about embedded programming, but also a lot of peripheral topics, origami comes to mind. Few tech podcasts manage to discuss deeply technical issues in an interesting manner.

    Conversations with Tyler: general interest podcast with long conversations with a diverse cast of sometimes very high profile guests. Just came across it a couple of days ago and was surprised I never heard of it. Tyler has had folks like Daniel Kahnemann, Noam Chomsky, Neil Stephenson but also has great lesser known people. A recent podcast was about the history of Chinese cuisine…


  • I think it depends, trivial min() and max() style functions are very common and considered acceptable, though I guess you could have been using inline for the last two decades…

    The only time I got any serious usage out of preproc functions was writing a driver for an AT-command set cellular modem which involved writing a ton of repetitive code for each AT command.

    I think I would prefer this sort of content in wrtten form though, cause I do it so seldom, I always need to look up syntactic specials like ‘stringizing’ where I even tend to forget the names of the concepts :)
