They discuss topics such as file control blocks, stack switching, 16-bit machine instructions, scolding developers, and the benefits of running on premises. Other topics include optimizing time delay, building a DOS to Unix file server, and the development of a groundbreaking distributed system. Challenges in RAID removal, game traffic optimization, and the importance of data in connecting people are also explored. The podcast delves into disruptive technologies and the guest's track record of being at the forefront of computing shifts.

Jeff Rothschild, a registered dietician and researcher, breaks down carbohydrate periodization for trail and ultra runners. He explains how athletes can manipulate their carbohydrate intake during high intensity or high training periods for improved performance. Rothschild's innovative research unveils a Carbohydrate Periodization Index, which quantifies daily carbohydrate periodization and can enhance athletes' performance. The podcast also delves into the challenges of implementing this approach and the importance of individualization and tracking carbohydrate intake and training load. The episode concludes with resources and tools for optimizing fueling strategies in ultrarunning.
