Ever wanted to know the ins and outs of quantum computing but shied away from the math and other detractors? Fear not, as usual the Inlaws got you covered. In this episode Martin and Chris host Simon Cross to talk about FLOSS in a quantum computing context. Originally a from a highly academic background, Simon is known for his influential contributions in the areas of applied quantum computing and beyond. Plus: Some funky details about Limburg, a patch split in half on both sides of the Dutch/Belgian border (please send complaints about the lack of geographic details on the show / show notes to our standard inbox which has been specifically created for this purpose - it is devnull@linuxinlaws.eu).

This marks another record achievement for the Inlaws as with only roughly three minutes of length it's the shortest episode ever recorded for this podcast never mind other shows in this realm.

In this episode Python is the center of the attention. More precisely CPython, which is the reference implementation Guido van Rossum (the inventor of the language) started all those years ago in the early nineties. As Martin had to skive off to some FLOSS conference, Chris hosts Mark Shannon and Eric Snow, two CPython coredevs (also featuring Mike Müller, a Python Software Foundation fellow, thrown in for good measure), If you still think that Python is some slow interpreted language only good for esoteric big data problems never mind that latest fad called machine learning and AI in general, you don't want to miss this episode. As all of these myths are debunked. And then some. So fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the show!

This episode is witness to a riveting discussion about the usage of FLOSS in the telecoms industry. Which goes back approximately fifty years with Ericsson (a large Swedish telco equipment manufacturer) coming up with Erlang, a programming language still prominently used in projects such as RabbitMQ. Listen to our two heroes apply their semi-existent knowledge about FLOSS in general and telecommunications in particular in this mind-boggling episode. Plus bonus content in the shape of a crash course on the history of the telecom industry, a peek behind the scenes of iOS (or to put it another way: the gory details of this mobile operating system that you have always wanted to know but were afraid to ask) and outlook to a future episode of your beloved podcast (gasp!).

In this episode, Martin and Chris talk about the use of FLOSS in real estate. Chris laments his big landowner woes which he got into after inheriting a zoo of different pieces of real estate some time ago. And how he solved this using FLOSS components that put sense into half-baked billing information coming from property management companies and how a neural net was recruited to help along the way.

In this episode the Inlaws host Zoë Kooyman and Greg Farough from the Free Software Foundation (FSF), one of the backbones of the FLOSS movement. Home to many primordial projects including the GNU congregation of free software such as Emacs and its compiler collection, the FSF can look back on forty years of shaping the FLOSS ecosystem in a way that few other organisations have managed to achieve. So if you wanted to know why Emacs is actually an operating system rather than just an editor, what the FSF really is beyond Richard M.

This episode shines some light on a new (?) technology entering the Linux kernel. Traditionally the Linux has been programmed using C, a programming language almost as old as our two hosts, and assembler for the machine-dependent parts which cannot be done in C. A few years back a couple of kernel devs started to explore the possibility of using a modern, much safer system programming language by the name of Rust (as featured quite a few times on this podcast in the past - check out the back catalog for the details). Even if you're not a kernel dev check out the episode if you're interested in kernel programming or the use of Rust in system programming in general.

The focus of this episode is the use of free, libre and open source software in the lovely field of home automation, a sometimes much underrated sector. Especially if you're old and cannot be bothered with heating up the pad from afar, controlling the blinds from the other side of the planet and spying on your cat trying to empty the fridge when you're not around. If that's something that sounds interesting regardless of your age, then you don't want to miss this episode. Especially if you're interested in historical aspects of home automation a few centuries ago, whether used by peasants or not.
