Podcasts about DX

In this short podcast, Bryan answers a question submitted to HVAC School by an aspiring licensed architect who wanted to learn more about the many different types of HVAC systems. The three main buckets of HVAC systems are air-to-air, water-source, and air-to-water. Air-to-air systems move air around to remove heat from one space, and that heat is rejected to the air somewhere else. Water-source systems move water around the building and use water as the heat rejection medium. Air-water hybrid systems condition the load with water and may use air for ventilation; water or air may be used as the rejection medium. Systems may be direct-exchange (DX) and may transfer heat directly to refrigerant, or they may flow the air or water over a coil with water or glycol, utilizing a secondary fluid. Systems may also have separate indoor and outdoor architecture (split systems), or all components may be rolled into a single box (package unit). Package units include window units, PTACs, and RTUs. When it comes to forced-air systems, constant air volume (CAV) systems maintain the same volume of airflow (though the temperatures will change). Variable air volume (VAV) systems use one stream of cold air in a main duct, and each zone has a VAV box that functions as a damper to control zones individually. Dual duct systems have one cold duct and one warm duct that run parallel to each other and mix at each zone. Packaged rooftop units (RTUs) are self-contained with ducts that run down into the space and are common in retail spaces. Air-to-water systems use fan coil units (FCUs) fed with chilled or hot water. Air moves locally inside the space, so there is less ductwork and good zone control, but there are many units to manage. Chillers make chilled water, and that water is pumped around the building and sent to individual air handler units (AHUs). These are highly efficient and have large amounts of piping. They need mechanical rooms and dedicated personnel to maintain them. Variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems are DX systems that are becoming more popular and consist of multiple indoor units with one or more outdoor units. Some of these can be used for heat recovery, meaning one space can be cooled while another is heated. Heat pump types include air-source, water-source, and ground-source. Air-source heat pumps absorb heat from the air via one unit and reject it via the other; the outdoor and indoor units can swap functions. Water-source heat pumps are common in commercial applications and have multiple heat pumps tied into a water loop that tries to stay within a given temperature range via boilers and cooling towers. Ground-source or geothermal heat pumps pick up heat from the earth's stable temperature and are highly efficient, but they have high installation costs. Passive systems come in all sorts of varieties and reduce the HVAC system's loads but don't replace HVAC systems in North America. Mechanical systems consist of straight-cool (air conditioner with electric heat), furnaces (gas, propane, or oil combustion), or heat pump (reversible air conditioners) systems.   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

On this special REMIX episode of What Happened When, Tony Schiavone and Conrad Thompson sit down together to watch WWF Monday Night RAW from April 27, 1998—and for Tony, it's a first-time viewing of one of the most infamous moments of the Monday Night War. The focus? D-Generation X and their audacious, real-world invasion of World Championship Wrestling. As the episode unfolds, Tony reacts in real time to seeing Triple H, X-Pac, and the New Age Outlaws roll up to WCW's doorstep, cameras rolling, lines blurring between storyline and reality. From the perspective of a man who was insideWCW when it happened, Tony offers candid, unfiltered insight into what the locker room likely thought, how management viewed the stunt, and why this moment symbolized WWF's growing confidence in 1998. Conrad guides the conversation with context—breaking down where WWF stood creatively, why this episode of Monday Night Raw felt so dangerous and unpredictable, and how DX's fourth-wall-breaking antics represented a turning point in the war for wrestling fans' attention. Expect laughs, disbelief, and plenty of "I can't believe they did that" moments as Tony processes the invasion not as a rival executive, but as a fan watching history unfold. The duo also discusses how this single segment changed perceptions, raised the stakes, and helped redefine what competition looked like in professional wrestling. It's a rare, behind-the-curtain look at the DX invasion—told by the voice of WCW himself—on an episode that proves just how wild, bold, and real the Monday Night Wars had become.

GB2RS News Sunday, the 28th of December 2025 The news headlines: Dr Julian Gannaway, G3YGF, is now a Silent Key Become a member of the RSGB Legacy Committee The RSGB 2026 Convention planning team opens the call for proposals It is with great sadness that we share the news that Dr Julian Gannaway, G3YGF, is now a Silent Key. He volunteered for the RSGB over many years, most recently on the RSGB Examination Standards Committee and as a corresponding member of the Spectrum Forum. He was made an RSGB Honorary Life President after serving as RSGB President in 1989. Julian's contribution to amateur radio was widespread, and we will share a fuller tribute in due course. The RSGB Legacy Fund has resources available to encourage and develop amateur radio. It is overseen by the Legacy Committee, which is a sub-committee of the RSGB Board. The Legacy Committee considers applications from individuals and groups and advises the RSGB Board in reaching its funding decision. It is currently looking for a new member to support this important work to help amateur radio move forward. To find out more, go to rsgb.org/volunteers Have you been involved in some research or been part of a project that will take amateur radio to new audiences? Maybe your organisation is working to encourage young people into STEM careers and support the radio engineers of the future? Perhaps you have discovered something new in amateur radio or have helped to make the hobby more inclusive and accessible. The Society has started planning its 2026 Convention and is offering radio amateurs the opportunity to propose a presentation or a practical activity and be part of the weekend's programme. Submit your proposal on these, or any other topics, by sending the title and at least a one-paragraph summary of your suggestion to convention@rsgb.org.uk Time is running out to be part of two exciting opportunities to make an impact with the RSGB.

Now the radio propagation report compiled by G0KYA and G3YLA on Thursday, December 23rd, 2025. We have had some solar ups and downs over the past week. A high-speed stream from a large coronal hole has kept the Kp index high at times, plus the solar flux index has been relatively low due to a lack of sunspots. The coronal hole has been massive, covering from the Sun's south pole right up to and past the solar equator. Nevertheless, there has been DX about, including PZ3OZ in Surinam on 80m FT8 and 40m CW, ZS7ANF in Antarctica on 30m CW, and TG9ADM in Guatemala on 10m CW. Also spotted have been some of the ‘12 Days of Christmas stations in the US', including W2R/5 in Arizona on 15m CW. Let's take a look at HF propagation over the next two weeks. According to NOAA, we may be in for a bumpy ride. The Kp index is predicted to rise to six on the 30th of December and stay high until early January. Meanwhile, at the same time, the SFI is predicted to rise to 170. The best time for HF may be after the 3rd of January, when the Kp index is predicted to fall to a more reasonable two to three, while the SFI remains in the 150-160 range. There should be plenty of activity on HF, with the G-QRP club's Winter Sports running up until the 1st of January, and a whole range of contests, from the RSGB's AFS CW Contest from 1300hrs UTC - 1700hrs UTC on the 3rd of January, to the Marconi Club ARI Loano QSO Party from 0700hrs UTC - 2100hrs UTC, also on the 3rd of January. Keep an eye on www.contestcalendar.com for updates. We hope you have a happy New Year and look forward to bringing you more HF propagation news in 2026. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO. The Christmas week saw a brief cold easterly around Christmas Day, then milder air returned around the top of the large area of high pressure. We go through the next week with the high pressure just to the north or west of Britain, and this will bring a more northerly flow across the country and, although initially milder, will become much colder again for the second half of next week. Since it is primarily a high-pressure week, there's always a chance of Tropo, but not everywhere. It's suggested you look for regions of cloud and fog for the best paths since it shows there is moisture under the inversion … a good thing for Tropo. The solar conditions are likely to offer prospects for aurora, and since this period is between two meteor showers, with the second one, the Quadrantids, peaking on the 4th at the end of the week.  Finally, a note to follow up on last week's heads-up for mid-winter Sporadic-E. It's certainly worth checking for digital modes and quite possibly for SSB/CW on 10m and 6m if there are signs of activity. For EME operators, Moon declination is rising again, and path losses are decreasing as we head towards perigee on the 2nd of January, the point where the Moon is closest to Earth. 144 MHz sky noise remains low until the 14th to 18th of January. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

AI engineering tools are evolving fast. New coding assistants, debugging agents, and automation platforms emerge every month. Engineering leaders want to take advantage of these innovations while avoiding costly experiments that create more distraction than impact.In this episode of the Engineering Enablement podcast, host Laura Tacho and Abi Noda outline a practical model for evaluating AI tools with data. They explain how to shortlist tools by use case, run trials that mirror real development work, select representative cohorts, and ensure consistent support and enablement. They also highlight why baselines and frameworks like DX's Core 4 and the AI Measurement Framework are essential for measuring impact.Where to find Laura Tacho: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauratacho/• X: https://x.com/rhein_wein• Website: https://lauratacho.com/• Laura's course (Measuring Engineering Performance and AI Impact): https://lauratacho.com/developer-productivity-metrics-courseWhere to find Abi Noda:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abinoda  • Substack: ​​https://substack.com/@abinoda  In this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro: Running a data-driven evaluation of AI tools(02:36) Challenges in evaluating AI tools(06:11) How often to reevaluate AI tools(07:02) Incumbent tools vs challenger tools(07:40) Why organizations need disciplined evaluations before rolling out tools(09:28) How to size your tool shortlist based on developer population(12:44) Why tools must be grouped by use case and interaction mode(13:30) How to structure trials around a clear research question(16:45) Best practices for selecting trial participants(19:22) Why support and enablement are essential for success(21:10) How to choose the right duration for evaluations(22:52) How to measure impact using baselines and the AI Measurement Framework(25:28) Key considerations for an AI tool evaluation(28:52) Q&A: How reliable is self-reported time savings from AI tools?(32:22) Q&A: Why not adopt multiple tools instead of choosing just one?(33:27) Q&A: Tool performance differences and avoiding vendor lock-inReferenced:Measuring AI code assistants and agentsQCon conferencesDX Core 4 engineering metricsDORA's 2025 research on the impact of AIUnpacking METR's findings: Does AI slow developers down?METR's study on how AI affects developer productivityClaude CodeCursorWindsurfDo newer AI-native IDEs outperform other AI coding assistants?

She discusses the most common leadership skill gaps she sees in CTOs, particularly around setting clear expectations without falling into the "micromanagement spiral of doom".Laura explains the development of the DX Core 4 framework for measuring developer productivity through four balanced dimensions:• Speed• Effectiveness• Quality• ImpactShe emphasizes the critical importance of connecting technical work to business outcomes, arguing that the era of engineering having a "blank check" is over and that today's leaders must think like business leaders who speak in terms of ROI and impact. The conversation with Charles Humble also covers emerging trends in AI-assisted development and unconventional approaches to performance management.RECOMMENDED BOOKSWill Larson • An Elegant Puzzle • https://amzn.to/4gb9VyCWill Larson • The Engineering Executive's Primer • https://amzn.to/3UURQuTMeri Williams • The Principles of Project Management • https://amzn.to/4lj5B1GDaniel H.

Unless otherwise noted, all these stations will be active in the contest.All of the DX information presented here comes from Bernie, W3UR, editor of the DailyDX, the WeeklyDX, and the How's DX column in QST. If you would like a free 2-week trial of the DailyDX, your only source of real-time DX information, just drop me a note at thedxmentor@gmail.comUntil next week, this is Bill, AJ8B saying 73 and thanks to my XYL Karen for her love and support.

Nathen Harvey leads research at DORA, focused on how teams measure and improve software delivery. In today's episode of Engineering Enablement, Nathen sits down with host Laura Tacho to explore how AI is changing the way teams think about productivity, quality, and performance.Together, they examine findings from the 2025 DORA research on AI-assisted software development and DX's Q4 AI Impact report, comparing where the data aligns and where important gaps emerge. They discuss why relying on traditional delivery metrics can give leaders a false sense of confidence and why AI acts as an amplifier, accelerating healthy systems while intensifying existing friction and failure.The conversation focuses on how AI is reshaping engineering systems themselves. Rather than treating AI as a standalone tool, they explore how it changes workflows, feedback loops, team dynamics, and organizational decision-making, and why leaders need better system-level visibility to understand its real impact.Where to find Nathen Harvey:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathenWhere to find Laura Tacho: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauratacho/• X: https://x.com/rhein_wein• Website: https://lauratacho.com/• Laura's course (Measuring Engineering Performance and AI Impact): https://lauratacho.com/developer-productivity-metrics-courseIn this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro(00:55) Why the four key DORA metrics aren't enough to measure AI impact(03:44) The shift from four to five DORA metrics and why leaders need more than dashboards(06:20) The one-sentence takeaway from the 2025 DORA report(07:38) How AI amplifies both strengths and bottlenecks inside engineering systems(08:58) What DX data reveals about how junior and senior engineers use AI differently(10:33) The DORA AI Capabilities Model and why AI success depends on how it's used(18:24) How a clear and communicated AI stance improves adoption and reduces friction(23:02) Why talking to your teams still matters Referenced:• DORA | State of AI-assisted Software Development 2025• Steve Fenton - Octonaut | LinkedIn• AI-assisted engineering: Q4 impact report

Jack Herrington talks with Will Madden about how Prisma ORM is evolving in v7, including the transition away from Rust toward TypeScript, less magic, and a new Prisma config file for more predictable good DX.

When it comes to your digital experience, how often does a ‘great idea' from a senior leader's gut feeling get completely dismantled by actual user data?Agility requires the willingness to be wrong and the systems to prove it quickly. It's about building a culture that values learning over being right and relentlessly iterates based on real human behavior, not internal assumptions. Today, we're going to talk about moving beyond ‘best practice' and intuition to build a truly data-driven digital experience. We'll explore how to create a disciplined conversion rate optimization program where usability testing, A/B experimentation, and personalization aren't just separate tactics, but a unified system, especially within a powerful platform like SitecoreAI, to build experiences that adapt to customer needs, not just our assumptions about them. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, George Chang, Senior Director, Digital Experience & Technology Corporate Marketing at Hexagon AB.

  Every software team, no matter its size or sophistication, has wrestled with the same quiet threat, technical debt. But what if the issue isn't just messy code or outdated frameworks, but something more human? That's the question Ernesto Tagwerker, Founder and CEO of OmbuLabs.ai, has been asking as he works at the intersection of AI, developer experience, and legacy modernization. In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, Ernesto joins me from Philadelphia to unpack why technical debt is so misunderstood and why the term has drifted far from Ward Cunningham's original metaphor. He argues that many teams treat it as a one-off cleanup task when, in reality, it's a living health issue that must be managed continuously. As he explains, "Every time you have to work around messy code, you're paying interest. And if later never comes, that interest piles up until progress grinds to a halt." We explore how AI is changing the way engineers think about remediation and developer experience (DX). Ernesto shares how OmbuLabs.ai uses AI agents to automate parts of the Rails upgrade process, scanning codebases for deprecations and generating actionable plans for clients. But his caution is clear, these tools are only as smart as the people orchestrating them. When used carelessly, they can generate invisible layers of new debt just as fast as they resolve the old. Ernesto also reflects on research from Google that reveals how "technical debt" varies wildly between teams and projects. He explains why leadership alignment is vital, how recurring surveys can help identify developer pain points, and why organizations should measure "technical health" rather than chase the unrealistic goal of zero debt. We discuss the cultural shift required for long-term success and why allocating even 10 to 20 percent of each sprint to DX improvements can dramatically reduce burnout and turnover. Finally, Ernesto offers his take on the future. AI will continue to automate repetitive work and surface smarter insights, but human oversight remains non-negotiable. In his words, "AI agents are only as good as their human operator." This conversation goes beyond code reviews and sprint retrospectives. It's about redefining what progress means in software development, healthier systems, happier developers, and smarter collaboration between humans and machines. Listen now to hear how Ernesto Tagwerker and OmbuLabs.ai are rethinking technical debt, DX, and AI-driven engineering for the decade ahead.   Tech Talks Daily is Sponsored by NordLayer: Get the exclusive Black Friday offer: 28% off NordLayer yearly plans with the coupon code: techdaily-28.
