Happy New Year and Welcome to Season 9 of Code for Thought. The season opens with a ByteSized RSE session - the short online courses with companion episodes for all of you who do science and write code. ByteSized RSE is sponsored by the Universe HPC project. Subject for this episode is data visualisation and how you could use the perception features of our brain (see Gestalt psychology) to tell a compelling story with your data. My guest is Kirsty Pringle from the Software Sustainability Institute in the UK.https://www.interaction-design.org/literature/topics/gestalt-principles Gestalt principles by a user design grouphttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_psychology a good summary of Gestalt psychologyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_and_information_visualization a summary of data visualisationhttps://matplotlib.org the Python Matplotlib libraryhttps://d3js.org the D3 Javascript libraryhttps://root.cern the Root analysis tool by CERNhttps://www.software.ac.uk the Software Sustainability Institutehttps://www.universe-hpc.ac.uk the Universe-HPC projectGet in touchThank you for listening!

English Edition: In this last episode of 2024 I want to remember David Mills and his work on the Network Time Protocol (NTP). The tool that keeps our machines in sync. David Mills worked closely with Harlan Stenn from the Network Time Foundation on NTP and I was very fortunate to grab some of Harlan's time to talk to him about NTP and David Mills' contribution. Some links (by far not an exhaustive list):https://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ David Mills homepage at the Uni. of Delaware (which still exists). There are a lot of links to his work on NTPhttps://eecs.engin.umich.edu/stories/remembering-alum-david-mills-who-brought-the-internet-into-perfect-timehttps://www.ntp.org/ The Network Time Protocol homepage with tons of details and specifications on how it all workshttps://www.nwtime.org The Network Time Foundationhttps://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/database/brief/arch/arch.pdf a presentation on how NTP workshttps://www.nwtime.org/bio/harlan-stenn/ Harlan Stenn's Biohttps://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc778 I think this is the first RFC of the early version of NTP https://www.ntp.org/reflib/rfc/ This contains a list of all RFCs related to NTPThe sounds you're hearing are from Phill Niblock, musician, composer, artist and his recording you can get on the internet archive https://archive.org/details/phill-niblock-music-by-phill-niblock Get in touchThank you for listening!
