Code for Thought

édition française: On sait, que les centres de calcul consomment beaucoup d'énergie. Pour déterminer combien, on peut utiliser l'outils logiciels comme Kwollect et Alumet. Simon Delamare (Kwollect) et Guillaume Raffin (Alumet) nous expliquent comment Kwollect et Alumet fonctionnent. https://gitlab.inria.fr/grid5000/kwollecthttps://www.grid5000.fr/w/Monitoring_Using_Kwollecthttps://alumet.devhttps://github.com/alumet-dev/alumethttps://hal.science/hal-04420527https://calcul.math.cnrs.fr/2025-03-energie-infra-calcul-equilibre.htmlGet in touchThank you for listening!

Connecting instruments and managing data transfer between machines is bread and butter stuff for scientists. But you don't want to do the same thing each time you get a new machine or change to another one. Which is why my guest Sébastien Weber from Toulouse, France, created PyMoDAQ, an Open Source Python tool to help you with automating all of that. Links:https://pymodaq.cnrs.fr/en/latest/https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGdoHByMKfIdn-N51goippSSP_9iG4wds YouTube playlisthttps://jt-pymodaq25.sciencesconf.org/?lang=enhttps://github.com/PyMoDAQ/PyMoDAQ GitHub repohttps://github.com/CEMES-CNRS/pymodaq_plugin_managerPapers:https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0032116 Review of scientific instruments paperhttps://www.scientia.global/dr-sebastien-weber-pymodaq-navigating-the-future-of-data-acquisition/https://www.photoniques.com/articles/photon/pdf/2024/06/photon2024129p25.pdfSome of the technology stack:https://www.pyqtgraph.org Python QT interfacehttps://doc.qt.io/qt-5/https://riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/intro PyQTGet in touchThank you for listening!

Mike Mroczka, a seasoned software engineer and author, dives deep into the evolving landscape of coding interviews shaped by his years at Google and Salesforce. He explains the need for new strategies as interviews shift to remote formats, highlighting pitfalls candidates often encounter. With insights on common mistakes, preparation tips, and the impact of AI on recruitment, Mike provides a comprehensive guide for navigating today's challenges in the tech hiring scene. Plus, he discusses the future of interviews and the balance between technical skills and cultural fit.

For this week's episode I met with (some of) the core developers behind Quarto, an open source tool for scientific publishing: Carlos Scheidegger, Gordon Woodhull and Christophe Dervieux. Listen to our chat and find out more what Quarto is, how it works and what's in store for the future. Linkshttps://quarto.orghttps://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-clihttps://github.com/typst/typsthttps://posit.co Posit, the company behind Quartohttps://posit.co/blog/announcing-quarto-a-new-scientific-and-technical-publishing-system/ the announcement of Quarto 2022Get in touchThank you for listening!

This year's RSE (research software engineering) workshop at the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) in Hamburg, Germany, focused on one theme: continuous benchmarking for high performance computing. Organisers Rene Caspart and Robert Speck tell us how it all went, while keynote speakers Michele Mesiti and Jayesh Badwaik give us concrete examples of how they go about continuous benchmarking - and why. Links:https://www.helmholtz-hirse.de/events/2025_06_13-rsehpcatisc.htmlhttps://exacb.pages.jsc.fz-juelich.dehttps://hpsf.iohttps://arxiv.org/abs/2505.21321https://ramble.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.htmlGeneral links:https://www.kit.edu/english/https://www.fz-juelich.de/en/ias/jschttps://www.nhr-verein.de/enhttps://isc-hpc.comhttps://supercomputing.orgGet in touchThank you for listening!

English Edition: Meet Phil Reed from the University of Manchester and SSI fellow. In my chat with Phil we touch on a number of themes, like how to boost digital skills for people outside the research software domain, like librarians. And look out for Phil's other endeavours (hint: towards the end of the episode).Links:https://www.software.ac.uk/fellowship-programme/phil-reed Phil's SSI profileThis SSI website also has more details on the fellowship programme.https://esciencelab.org.uk/people/ the eScience Lab, Uni Manchesterhttps://philreeddata.github.io Phil's GitHubhttps://orcid.org/0000-0002-4479-715Xhttps://elixir-europe.org The Elixir programmehttps://carpentries.orghttps://www.simplypsychology.org/blooms-taxonomy.html Something on Bloom's taxonomyhttps://github.com/direct-framework/digital-research-competencies-frameworkhttps://disc.ac.ukGet in touchThank you for listening!

English Edition: My guest Bill Kurth and I will go on a space exploration of a special kind: the Voyager probes. Launched in 1977 just a few weeks apart they have now reached interstellar space. Some of the data they send back to Earth are audio - which can tell us a lot about the outer planets like Jupiter or indeed interstellar space, where both Voyagers are now. Linkshttps://science.nasa.gov/mission/voyager/ https://science.jpl.nasa.gov/projects/voyager/https://doi.org/10.1038/s41550-021-01363-7 a paper on persistent plasma waves in interstellar space https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/voyager/2025/05/14/nasas-voyager-1-revives-backup-thrusters-before-command-pause/ reviving Voyager's thrusters https://space-audio.org some of the sounds we heard during the episode (Uni. of Iowa/US)https://www.sleepbot.com/ambience/album/planets.html Symphonies of the Planets old homepagehttps://www.nasa.gov/communicating-with-missions/dsn/ The Deep Space NetworkGet in touchThank you for listening!
