Base.cs Podcast

We explore the world (forest?) of trees even further! We learn what a tree's depth and height are, why they're important, and why unbalanced trees can cause computational problems.

What's in a tree? And why do they always seem to pop up in computer science? We dig into the different parts of a tree, and how certain "tree truths" make them so special.

Exploring the use of queues in job scheduling, web app development, JavaScript message queues, operating systems and multi-level queues, and proof of work and handling transactions.

The podcast explores queues and their relation to stacks, including their implementation and advantages. The hosts share their initial encounters with queues and discuss the challenges of using arrays versus linked lists for creating queues.

Vaidehi Joshi discusses real-life examples of stacks including browser histories, call stacks, and undo/redo functionality. The podcast explores developers' interaction with stacks, the concept of a call stack in programming, and the potential consequences of recursive function calls and stack overflow errors.

Vaidehi Joshi, an engineer at Tilde, discusses the causes of a stack overflow and unpacks the rules of creating and working with stacks. Topics include emotional impact of name changes in tech, lesser-known productivity tools, encountering 'stack level too deep' error message, understanding stacks in data structures, analyzing Big O notation for stack insertion, and rules and methods of stack data structures.

The podcast discusses linked lists, deciphering a coded message, postcards challenge, types of linked lists, Big O notation and its purpose, and using stacks and linked lists in programming.

You may be familiar with arrays and hashes and variables, but how much do you know about linked lists? We dig into what they are, how they work, and the pros and cons of using this popular data structure. Based on Vaidehi Joshi's blog post, "What's a Linked List, Anyway? [Part 1]". We're on Patreon!

If you've worked with CSS, you've probably seen colors represented as hex values. But how on earth does #EC152E give us the color red? With a little help of math, we show you how to represent millions of colors in hex values and how those correlate to RGB values. We also dig into the color theory behind those values.

Let's explore a very special number together: 16. It's the core of the hexadecimal system, and, in this episode, we'll learn how to count in hexes, discuss where we might see the hexadecimal system in real life, and breakdown the math that makes the number 16 so special.
