FEEDBACK Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt (rec’d by Miranda) Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado (rec’d by Miranda) QUESTIONS 1. Hi, I was wondering if you had any recommendations for fun murder mystery novels that are well written and not too dark. I did not enjoy Gone Girl because it was too dark. I love Agatha Christie and have read a good portion of her novels. I am looking for new mysteries that are fun. I recently watched the movie “Clue” and something similar in book format would be great ☺️ -Kaitlin 2. Hello! I am hoping you’ll help me with some new book or series ideas for my husband, who is the type of person who will re-read (and re-listen) to the same books over and over… and over. He also tends to read book series geared towards younger readers. Being an elementary school teacher (currently teaching 6th grade), he likes to recommend & talk books with his students. His all-time favorites include Harry Potter, His Dark Materials, and just about everything by Rick Riordan. He’s also enjoyed Game of Thrones, The Iron Druid Chronicles, and the Scythe trilogy by Neal Shusterman. For stand-alone books, Dark Matter & Ready Player One are recent hits. He’s drawn towards multi-book series because of the rich world-building and loves books seeped in mythology. Plot twist! He also loves U.S. history, particularly about the gold rush and the american revolution. I think he might be into a fantasy adventure with a historical slant. Alexander Hamilton with a talking dog sidekick in a time machine saving the world? He’d probably read that! I’d love to see him continue to explore new worlds, characters, and ideas so the plan is to gift him some new books for the holidays. Thank you so much in advance! -Katie 3. Hi there! Every Christmas I give each of my kids a book that reflects something going on in their lives during the past year. Over the years the collection of books for each child has provided great memories of their interests, accomplishments and dreams. When they were younger it was easier to find books about learning to ride a bike, a cookbook about cakes, or a collection of poems about nature. As they have gotten older, their interests have naturally become more narrowed and specific. I’m hoping you can help me find a book for my oldest daughter, who is 19. This past year she completed an internship where she cared for and trained carnivores at a wildlife park and breeding program. She worked daily feeding and tending to lions, tigers, bears and cheetahs. It was amazing to see her growth over the period of the internship, I’ve never seen her more happy, confident or driven. I’d love to find a book for her about a person who has a similar positive experience with wild animals. I’m open to non-fiction or fiction but would mostly hope for something that continues to inspire her as she works toward her college degree in zoology and on to a career in this field. I have done some searching on my own but often recommendations come back for veterinary medicine and I’m hoping for something more specifically related to care and conservation of animals. Thank you in advance for your recommendations! -Heather 4. I want to get my mom a book her birthday. She works as a director at a basketball camp and one of her jobs is mentoring and organizing the counsellors. She likes self-help type books and I want to find one that’s about leadership in a summer camp or basketball setting, or about mentoring and working with teenagers or young adults. I love your podcast and listen to it every week! -Shannon 5. Hi, I’m looking for a recommendation after finishing reading “Where the crawdads sing” by Delia Owens. I absolutely loved this book, which surprised me as I usually read more plot driven books and don’t usually like descriptions like ” beautiful prose”, “lyrical” and so on. I found myself completely absorbed in the story, loved the language and even underlined some of the sentences. Maybe it’s the introvert in me, but I loved that it didn’t contain too many characters, some I could root for, and most of, all the mother nature. The nature scenes were my favourites to read and get lost in. I am going on a backpacking trip to South America next month and looking for a good read. Can you please recommend something similar? Thanks so much! -Kat 6. I recently enjoyed 11.22.63 and the Doomsday book and am looking for more good historical time travel fiction. Kindred is already on my to read list and I read the first Outlander book and found it a bit less consensual than I prefer my romances. Any suggestions for entertaining historical time travel books? -Shaina 7. Each year, I like to tackle a big, scary book—not scary in the sense that the book is frightening (though I’m not opposed to that), more that the book’s physical weight, complexity, and/or subject matter tend to intimidate readers. I’ve previously read Infinite Jest, East of Eden, A Little Life, The Goldfinch, Ulysses, Moby-Dick, etc. I’ve also read shorter work that would qualify, like Joanna Russ’s Female Man. There are a lot of lists on the Internet of the most difficult books, but those lists are largely white and male and I’m looking for something that isn’t. I know I could pick up War and Peace (and probably should read it eventually) but I really want to read as few books by white dudes in 2018 as possible. Can you point me in the direction of heady, challenging doorstopper fiction that meets this criteria? I’m not adverse to any particular genre, I just want to dig into a really difficult book. Thanks in advance! -Meredith BOOKS DISCUSSED Death by Dumpling by Vivien Chien Murder in G Major by Alexia Gordon (tw: ableist language and slurs around mental health) Dread Nation by Justina Ireland American Hippo by Sarah Gailey Steve and Me by Terri Irwin The Daily Coyote by Shreve Stockton Sum it Up by Pat Summit Wolfpack by Abby Wambach Deep Creek by Pam Houston The Overstory by Richard Powers (tw: suicide) A Murder in Time by Julie McElwain Just One Damned Thing After Another by Jodi Taylor Ducks, Newburyport by Lucy Ellmann Almanac of the Dead by Leslie Marmon Silko (tw: for everything)

Hello everyone, welcome back to Hexed, the third book in the Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne! You can pick up the book here, if you're interested! https://amzn.to/2Q8oVDAThis episode is brought to you by Sue Hayes, and I want to thank her for commissioning more of this book because I have been really hard on Atticus and I want to see some redemption. Usually 5 chapters makes for 50 pages almost exactly, but these chapters were longer so it's only 3 for this episode. Laksha is back, and in a body she really likes, so she decides that she's going to do what she can to keep it, and makes a deal that she will help Atticus with the Maenads in exchange for him getting the golden apples of Idunn. They only grow in Asgard, and Atticus things that this demand is way out of proportion, but he finally her bargains her down to just ONE apple instead of all of them, so i guess that's something? The fight against the Maenads is a lot of fun to read, in no small part because I am currently watching Season 2 of True Blood, in which Maenads feature quite prominently. I like that I have this trend happening in my life right now. Thank you again to Sue for the commission, and I hope you enjoy the show!
Oh boy! I'm always excited to start a new book, but the fact that this is the second book in a series is particularly exciting because I feel like I'm really starting a voyage, here. I hope that you all enjoy coming along with me! I'm gonna be straight with y'all right out of the gate and admit that as of right now, I'm officially NOT Team Atticus. This dude has no sense of responsibility to the people around him and it's really pretty gross. I have felt like this at times throughout the first book, but it's in the chapters of this book that I really get a sustained glimpse into how little he considers the ripple effects of the things he's done. I'm glad he's finally convinced to do the right thing in the end, but it shouldn't have taken convincing in the first place. Oh and also, he has to fight a demon on his front lawn. His lawn is busier than Grand Central. Thanks for listening!
Panel: AJ O’Neal Aimee Knight Joe Eames Charles Max Wood Special Guests: Chris Heilmann In this episode, the panel talks with programmer, Chris Heilmann. He has written books about JavaScript, in addition to writing a blog about it and is an educator about this program. He currently resides in Berlin, Germany. Let’s welcome our special guest and listen to today’s episode! Show Topics: 2:19 – Chuck talks. 2:41 – Chris: He has talked about JavaScript in Berlin upon an invitation. You can get five different suggestions about how to use JavaScript. The best practices, I have found, are on the projects I am on now. JavaScript was built in ten days. My goal is to help people navigate through JavaScript and help them feel not disenfranchised. 5:47 – Aimee: The overall theme is... 5:54 – Panelist: I really like what you said about helping people not feeling disenfranchised. 6:47 – Chris: There is a lot of peer pressure at peer conferences 7:30 – Aimee chimes in with some comments. 7:50: Chris: I think we need to hunt the person down that put... 8:03 – Panelist: A good point to that is, I try to avoid comments like, “Well, like we ALL know...” 8:27 – Chris: There are things NOT to say on stage. It happens, but we don’t want to say certain things while we are teaching people. We are building products with different groups, so keep that in mind. 9:40 – Aimee: My experience in doing this is that I have found it very rewarding to share embarrassing experiences that I’ve had. My advice would to tell people to let their guard down. It’s encouraging for me. 10:26 – Chris: It helps to show that you are vulnerable and show that you are still learning, too. We are all learning together. 90% of our job is communicating with others. 11:05 – Chuck: Now, I do want to ask this... 11:35 – Chris answers. 12:24 – What makes you say that? (Question to Chris) 12:25 – Chris answers. 13:55 – Chuck: The different systems out there are either widely distributed or... You will have to work with other people. There is no way that people can make that on their own. If you can’t work with other people, then you are a hindrance. 14:31 – Aimee chimes in. 14:53 – Chris: They have to be very self-assured. I want to do things that are at the next level. Each developer has his or her own story. I want to move up the chain, so I want to make sure these developers are self-assured. 16:07 – Chris: Back to the article... 18:26 – Chuck: Yes, I agree. Why go and fight creating a whole system when it exists. 18:54 – Chris chimes in with some comments. 19:38 – Panelist: I still use console logs. 19:48 – Chris: We all do, but we have to... 19:55 – Aimee: In the past year, I can’t tell you how much I rely on this. Do I use Angular? Do I learn Vue? All those things that you can focus on – tools. 10:21 – Chris: We are talking about the ethics of interfaces. Good code is about accessibility, privacy and maintainability, among others. Everything else is sugar on top. We are building products for other people. 22:10 – Chuck: That is the interesting message in your post, and that you are saying: having a deep, solid knowledge of React (that is sort of a status thing...). It is other things that really do matter. It’s the impact we are having. It’s those things that will make the difference. Those things people will want to work with and solves their problems. 23:00 – Chris adds his comments. He talks about Flash. 24:05 – Chris: The librarian motto: “I don’t know everything, but I can look “here” to find the answer.” We don’t know everything. 24:31 – Aimee: Learn how to learn. 24:50 – Chris: There is a big gap in the market. Scratch is a cool tool and it’s these puzzle pieces you put together. It was hard for me to use that system. No, I don’t want to do that. But if you teach the kids these tools then that’s good. 24:56 – Chuck: Here is the link, and all I had to do was write React components. 26:12 – Chris: My first laptop was 5x more heavy then this one is. Having access to the Internet is a blessing. 27:24 – Advertisement 28:21 – Chuck: Let’s bring this back around. If someone has gone through boot camp, you are recommending that they get use to know their editor, debugging, etc. Chris: 28:47 – Chris: Yes, get involved within your community. GitHub. This is a community effort. You can help. Writing code from scratch is not that necessary anymore. Why rebuild something if it works. Why fix it if it’s not broken? 31:00 – Chuck talks about his experience. 31:13 – Chris continues his thoughts. Chris: Start growing a community. 32:01 – Chuck: What ways can people get involved within their community? 32:13 – Chris: Meetup. There are a lot of opportunities out there. Just going online and seeing where the conferences 34:08 – Chris: It’s interesting when I coach people on public speaking. Sharing your knowledge and learning experience is great! 34:50 – Chuck: If they are learning how to code then...by interacting with people you can get closer to what you need/want. 35:30 – Chris continues this conversation. 35:49 – Chris: You can be the person that helps with x, y, z. Just by getting your name known then you can get a job offer. 36:23 – Chuck: How do you find out what is really good content – what’s worth your time vs. what’s not worth your time? 36:36 –Chris says, “That’s tricky!” Chris answers the question. 37:19: Chris: The best things out there right now is... 38:45 – Chuck: Anything else that people want to bring up? 39:00 – Chris continues to talk. 42:26 – Aimee adds in her thoughts. Aimee: I would encourage people to... 43:00 – Chris continues the conversation. Chris: Each project is different, when I build a web app is different then when I build a... 45:07 – Panelist: I agree. You talked about abstractions that don’t go away. You use abstractions in what you use. At some point, it’s safe to rly on this abstraction, but not this one. People may ask themselves: maybe CoffeeScript wasn’t the best thing for me. 46:11 – Chris comments and refers to jQuery. 48:58 – Chris continues the conversation. Chris: I used to work on eight different projects and they worked on different interfaces. I learned about these different environments. This is the project we are now using, and this will like it for the end of time. This is where abstractions are the weird thing. What was the use of the abstraction if it doesn’t have longevity? I think we are building things too soon and too fast. 51:04 – Chris: When I work in browsers and come up with brand new stuff. 52:21 – Panelist: Your points are great, but there are some additional things we need to talk about. Let’s take jQuery as an example. There is a strong argument that if you misuse the browser... 53:45 – Chris: The main issue I have with jQuery is that people get an immediate satisfaction. What do we do besides this? 55:58 – Panelist asks Chris further questions. 56:25 – Chris answers. Chris: There are highly frequent websites that aren’t being maintained and they aren’t maintainable anymore. 57:09 – Panelist: Prototypes were invented because... 57:51 – Chris: It’s a 20/20 thing. 58:04 – Panelist: Same thing can be said about the Y2K. 58:20 – Panelist: Yes, they had to solve that problem that day. The reality is... 58:44 – Chris: We learned from that whole experience. 1:00:51 – Chris: There was a lot of fluff around it. 1:01:35 – Panelist: Being able to see the future would be a very helpful thing. 1:01:43 – Chris continues the conversation. 1:02:44 – Chuck: How do people get ahold of you? 1:03:04 – Twitter is probably the best way. 1:03:32 – Let’s go to picks! 1:03:36 - Advertisement Links: JavaScript So you Learned Java Script, what now? – Article WebHint Article by James Sinclair Clank!

Panel: AJ O’Neal Aimee Knight Joe Eames Charles Max Wood Special Guests: Chris Heilmann In this episode, the panel talks with programmer, Chris Heilmann. He has written books about JavaScript, in addition to writing a blog about it and is an educator about this program. He currently resides in Berlin, Germany. Let’s welcome our special guest and listen to today’s episode! Show Topics: 2:19 – Chuck talks. 2:41 – Chris: He has talked about JavaScript in Berlin upon an invitation. You can get five different suggestions about how to use JavaScript. The best practices, I have found, are on the projects I am on now. JavaScript was built in ten days. My goal is to help people navigate through JavaScript and help them feel not disenfranchised. 5:47 – Aimee: The overall theme is... 5:54 – Panelist: I really like what you said about helping people not feeling disenfranchised. 6:47 – Chris: There is a lot of peer pressure at peer conferences 7:30 – Aimee chimes in with some comments. 7:50: Chris: I think we need to hunt the person down that put... 8:03 – Panelist: A good point to that is, I try to avoid comments like, “Well, like we ALL know...” 8:27 – Chris: There are things NOT to say on stage. It happens, but we don’t want to say certain things while we are teaching people. We are building products with different groups, so keep that in mind. 9:40 – Aimee: My experience in doing this is that I have found it very rewarding to share embarrassing experiences that I’ve had. My advice would to tell people to let their guard down. It’s encouraging for me. 10:26 – Chris: It helps to show that you are vulnerable and show that you are still learning, too. We are all learning together. 90% of our job is communicating with others. 11:05 – Chuck: Now, I do want to ask this... 11:35 – Chris answers. 12:24 – What makes you say that? (Question to Chris) 12:25 – Chris answers. 13:55 – Chuck: The different systems out there are either widely distributed or... You will have to work with other people. There is no way that people can make that on their own. If you can’t work with other people, then you are a hindrance. 14:31 – Aimee chimes in. 14:53 – Chris: They have to be very self-assured. I want to do things that are at the next level. Each developer has his or her own story. I want to move up the chain, so I want to make sure these developers are self-assured. 16:07 – Chris: Back to the article... 18:26 – Chuck: Yes, I agree. Why go and fight creating a whole system when it exists. 18:54 – Chris chimes in with some comments. 19:38 – Panelist: I still use console logs. 19:48 – Chris: We all do, but we have to... 19:55 – Aimee: In the past year, I can’t tell you how much I rely on this. Do I use Angular? Do I learn Vue? All those things that you can focus on – tools. 10:21 – Chris: We are talking about the ethics of interfaces. Good code is about accessibility, privacy and maintainability, among others. Everything else is sugar on top. We are building products for other people. 22:10 – Chuck: That is the interesting message in your post, and that you are saying: having a deep, solid knowledge of React (that is sort of a status thing...). It is other things that really do matter. It’s the impact we are having. It’s those things that will make the difference. Those things people will want to work with and solves their problems. 23:00 – Chris adds his comments. He talks about Flash. 24:05 – Chris: The librarian motto: “I don’t know everything, but I can look “here” to find the answer.” We don’t know everything. 24:31 – Aimee: Learn how to learn. 24:50 – Chris: There is a big gap in the market. Scratch is a cool tool and it’s these puzzle pieces you put together. It was hard for me to use that system. No, I don’t want to do that. But if you teach the kids these tools then that’s good. 24:56 – Chuck: Here is the link, and all I had to do was write React components. 26:12 – Chris: My first laptop was 5x more heavy then this one is. Having access to the Internet is a blessing. 27:24 – Advertisement 28:21 – Chuck: Let’s bring this back around. If someone has gone through boot camp, you are recommending that they get use to know their editor, debugging, etc. Chris: 28:47 – Chris: Yes, get involved within your community. GitHub. This is a community effort. You can help. Writing code from scratch is not that necessary anymore. Why rebuild something if it works. Why fix it if it’s not broken? 31:00 – Chuck talks about his experience. 31:13 – Chris continues his thoughts. Chris: Start growing a community. 32:01 – Chuck: What ways can people get involved within their community? 32:13 – Chris: Meetup. There are a lot of opportunities out there.

Panel: Charles Max Wood David Richards Dave Kimura Eric Berry Special Guests: John Hawthorn In this episode of Ruby Rogues, the panel talks to John Hawthorn about MJIT. John has been a Ruby programmer for about 9 years and is based in Victoria, B.C. They talk about what MJIT is, the effects you can see from using the MJIT compiler, and why the JIT doesn’t always work with other languages. They also touch on how you can use the JIT in your own code, how he makes his performance better, and more! Show Topics: 1:36 – John is a Ruby programmer, and has been one for the past 9 years, and he is based out of Victoria, B.C. 5:00 – He had always been curious how a JIT would work and found that it was always too difficult to work with. Since discovering MJIT, he has been able to work with these compilers because he understands how to work with C code. 7:36 – Ruby has a bytecode and it looks a lot like an assembly language, which is approachable to a Rubyist. 8:24 – The core of MJIT is an ERB template which take this bytecode, loops over it, and emits C code. 9:01 – Effects that you can seem from the JIT in your own code is that it uses a really tight math loop, making your code faster. 11:25 – Other languages aren’t suited for compilers like JIT because they are so flexible to begin with. And in some cases, it doesn’t make sense to JIT compile. 13:05 – The compiled code now is not reusable by other workers and works better with one compilation per process. 15:20 – The temp folder gets cleared immediately after its run, but this compiled code is probably going to stay in memory forever. 17:30 – The MJIT doesn’t work as well with Rails because the code can’t get warmed up enough. Some things aren’t friendly to a JIT. 20:24 – If someone wants to play with the JIT, as long as you have any Ruby version manager, install any of the previewed releases of 2.6 and then run with --jit. 21:44 – Online, you can look into following people who have written various Ruby libraries to look at performance. You can look at people like Sam Saffron and Julia Evans. 23:57 –TruffleRuby is a new front-end on top of a mature virtual machine whereas MJIT is a brand new virtual machine on top of a Ruby front-end. 27:57 – The MJIT had no effect on his work, it was just really fun and interesting to look into. 28:29 – To make his performance better, he allocates fewer objects, does less loops, and writes better queries. 29:02 – You want to run a profiler that will give you a better idea of where to look for performance issues, but you really need a proper benchmark to say what is wrong with your performance. A great benchmark you can use is benchmark-ips. 31:59 – The “gotcha” of doing this kind of work is verifying that you’ve actually improved it. 33:41 – Before we have the JIT in production, we are going to be using these techniques to find out if the JIT is helping us.

Hubert works at AmberBit where they traditionally created Ruby on Rails apps for their customers, and more recently, they switched to using Elixir to build custom apps for their customers. They talk about why they decided to switch to Elixir, his thoughts on Ruby now, and the difference between Elixir and Ruby. They also touch on what his Ruby code looks like now, compare Elixir with Node, and more! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: Huber intro Works at AmberBit Ruby on Rails to Elixir Why did you switch to Elixir? How did you stumble upon Elixir?

Kevin Hearne, author of The Iron Druid Chronicles and Star Wars: Heir to the Jedi, joins Tales from the Fandom for the 22nd episode. Kevin talks about his early fandom influences as well as what he is into now before we talk about his series, The Iron Druid Chronicles. We discuss characters, books, fandom references in the series as well as his upcoming books including The Purloined Poodle, Besieged and more. He also talks about writing the Star Wars books, Heir to the Jedi, one of first books released that is considered Canon in the Star Wars universe. Kevin also talks about his journey from high school teacher to author, how he progressed and his advice to those who want to be writers.

The inaugural Tales from the Fandom episode covers Harry Potter, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Leverage, Girl Meets World and the Iron Druid Chronicles with longtime friend, Jachelle Overstreet.
Kevin Hearne is the author of the urban fantasy series The Iron Druid Chronicles. Hounded, his first book, was published in May 2011 and takes place in Tempe, Arizona. Hearne's protagonist, Atticus O'Sullivan, is one of the original Celtic druids. He's also the only one still breathing. He's made friends and enemies over the centuries, and unfortunately several gods count themselves in the latter category. He's been hiding in the desert of Arizona for years, but his past was always going to catch up with him eventually. I contacted Kevin several months ago when I found out he was coming to Nashville for a book signing. We planned to have lunch before the event, and he graciously agreed to do an interview for the podcast. So, if you click the link, you'll get about ninety minutes of Kevin and I talking geekery, writing, his book tour, his series, and what he'd like to write once his planned nine IDC books are published. If you're a fan of Kevin already, I hope I asked him some of the questions you've always wanted answered. If you're hearing his name for the first time, I think you might have four (and counting) new books on your "To Read" list by the time you finish listening. Enjoy!
This week, Dave is back to talk about a genre of books that has become Dave's favorites. The Urban Fantasy setting is all the love of fantasy books, yet taking place in modern civilization. _Dresden Files_ , _Iron Druid Chronicles_ , and the _Shadowhunter_ series are just a few that have been talked about on this podcast in the past.
