What do you love about the show? Let us know! In this episode of Discover Daily, we explore a shift in technology design as major companies like Volkswagen and Apple lead a return to physical buttons. This movement, driven by safety concerns and user experience, represents a significant departure from the touch screen-dominated interfaces of recent years. Studies show that physical buttons can reduce driver distraction by up to 40 seconds compared to touch screens, prompting regulatory bodies to mandate their return in vehicles by 2026.We then delve into the remarkable discovery of black fungi at Chernobyl's Reactor 4, where these extraordinary organisms are actually helping to clean up radiation through a process called radiosynthesis. These melanin-rich fungi, particularly Cladosporium sphaerospermum, don't just survive in highly radioactive environments – they thrive by converting radiation into chemical energy, similar to how plants use photosynthesis.The implications of these fungi extend far beyond Chernobyl, with NASA conducting experiments on the International Space Station to test their potential as biological radiation shields for spacecraft and astronauts. Scientists are also exploring applications in medicine, environmental remediation, and radiation protection, showcasing nature's remarkable ability to adapt to extreme conditions and provide solutions to complex human challenges.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/the-return-of-buttons-dHrzTU_LSAWS6kpllKvP8Ahttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/black-fungus-is-healing-cherno-bgic0mWKSSa3EIHpYPEjvQPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

In this episode of Elixir Wizards, Xiang Ji and Nathan Hessler join hosts Sundi Myint and Owen Bickford to compare actor model implementation in Elixir, Ruby, and Clojure. In Elixir, the actor model is core to how the BEAM VM works, with lightweight processes communicating asynchronously via message passing. GenServers provide a common abstraction for building actors, handling messages, and maintaining internal state. In Ruby, the actor model is represented through Ractors, which currently map to OS threads. They discuss what we can learn by comparing models, understanding tradeoffs between VMs, languages, and concurrency primitives, and how this knowledge can help us choose the best tools for a project. Topics discussed in this episode: Difference between actor model and shared memory concurrency Isolation of actor state and communication via message passing BEAM VM design for high concurrency via lightweight processes GenServers as common abstraction for building stateful actors GenServer callbacks for message handling and state updates Agents as similar process abstraction to GenServers Shared state utilities like ETS for inter-process communication Global Interpreter Lock in older Ruby VMs Ractors as initial actor implementation in Ruby mapping to threads Planned improvements to Ruby concurrency in 3.3 Akka implementation of actor model on JVM using thread scheduling Limitations of shared memory concurrency on JVM Project Loom bringing lightweight processes to JVM Building GenServer behavior in Ruby using metaprogramming CSP model of communication using channels in Clojure Differences between BEAM scheduler and thread-based VMs Comparing Elixir to academic languages like Haskell Remote and theScore are hiring!

The opportunity to spend time with your customers is the most valuable thing a business can do. Put that time to good use - it can make or break experiences.Sky's Flavio Lamenza has observed the best and worst in user experiences, from sites implementing simple feedback tools to halting an eCommerce funnel the moment you set foot on a site.We hear from Flavio, Senior UX Designer, who joins us to offer his fabulous insights into the hurdles you can remove from your user experience, how you can spend more quality time with customers, and why it's vital to take a holistic look at UX rather than rely purely on data alone.This episode of Tied Together covers:Whether the widespread use of ‘feedback drawers' is actually effectiveThe importance of carefully considering when you ask for feedbackExamples of feedback collection practices to avoidWhy interoperability between steps in UX is key to solving issuesTips for anyone breaking into UXLinks and references: https://bit.ly/3GJGxwOLearn more with our 'The Problem with Feedback Survey's' Whitepaper: https://bit.ly/3slAzMH

Tech sales is an industry with a surprisingly high turnover due to the lack of sufficient training. A better system for finding the right candidates and providing adequate training will help business owners find employees who are in it for the long run and ready for more fulfilling careers. Today's guest, Joseph Fung from Uvaro specializes in making this whole process easy and effective for business owners and employees. Tune in to hear more about the process of finding the right employees for your company and how to keep them long-term. About our guest: Joseph Fung is the founder of Uvaro, a company that creates a better way to grow careers. He is known for his skills and knowledge in Entrepreneurship, SEO, Business Development, User Interface Design, Web Development, Startups, and others. On Today's Episode:  Where Joseph sees himself on his own entrepreneurial journey-2:23  The importance of pushing boundaries in business for growth. -4:48  Recognizing boundaries in business and chances to bring your A-game. -6:23  How to improve the process of meetings to make them more effective. -10:44  The series of events that have made the biggest impact on Joseph's career as an entrepreneur. -13:05  What a good business coach can do for you. -16:05  The process Joseph's company uses to find the right people and train them to perform and succeed. -18:50 The power of forming a peer group or network when job searching and how Joseph provides that for his customers. -23:15 The difference between direct hires for companies and Uvaro members. -26:11 ● How Uvaro gives members an advantage when transitioning into the tech industry. -28:17  The new set of problems businesses are seeing and what we need to pay attention to. -30:27  How Joseph defines success in his business. -32:45  Key Takeaways:  As entrepreneurs, sometimes we need to strategically pump the breaks so that the outcome is stronger, especially when hiring. Paying extra attention to the details will help you focus on the qualities you need in an ideal candidate.  To have more effective team meetings, go into them with a specific outcome in mind and plan accordingly. This will help you stay on task and complete the meeting in a timely manner.  Sometimes it's the negative interactions that make you a better entrepreneur and leader because they end up being learning experiences.   A network or circle can be a huge benefit for your employees because they get support and build long-lasting careers.  As entrepreneurs, we must pay attention to societal or economic realignments going on in the world so that we can adjust and come up with new opportunities.  Empowering our employees to succeed is a key component of retention. Pushing boundaries and finding new ways to do things is a great way to do this. [4:51] “I like to play with those edges and push those boundaries. Sometimes you fall, but sometimes you surprise yourself with greatness.” How do you inspire greatness in your employees?

Marketing spend is an essential growth tool in business and brand transformation, so why is such a huge proportion of it reportedly ineffective? For those looking to grow their brand, simply throwing money at the problem is unlikely to yield the success that The Thread Team's Richard Calvert fosters with their clients.Richard joins us on Tied Together this week for a dive into why it's not enough simply to obtain a tool without properly applying it, and how modern marketing's focus on digital touchpoints doesn't elude the same issues that remain relevant to any business in any era.This episode of Tied Together covers:Details on the vast MarTech spend, and why so much of it is ineffectiveHow ‘modern marketing' primarily focuses on digital touchpointsData as the catalyst for driving changeWays that businesses can maximise what they have before investing in new solutionsLinks and references: https://bit.ly/3yP7YSE

Michal Malewicz started designing back in 1999, initially for fun, gaming related projects. Back then a web designer was the person who both designed and coded the front-end, so he had to quickly learn to code too. He worked in a couple of agencies and in 2013 started his own design agency HYPE4. He also teaches design at SWPS University in Poland, speaks at conferences, surfs (Baltic sea can be quite fun) and skates in his free time.  LEVELING UP YOUR UI SKILLSCheck out the most comprehensive and biggest ebook about User Interface Design: https://designingui.com/ CONNECT WITH Michal MalewiczFollow Michal Malewicz on TwitterFollow Michal Malewicz on LinkedInFollow Michal Malewicz on MediumFollow Michal Malewicz on YouTube LEVEL UP YOUR DESIGN CAREER (FREE EMAIL COURSE)Learn 7 proven strategies in 7 days to grow in your design career -https://levelup.designmba.show/

A big tip that helps my well-being during lockdown is disconnecting. To be specific, disconnect from my devices while eat and sleep. Let's talk about the first one. Eating and scrolling was my default - I always need to find something to do. Checking social media, posting photos on social, watching videos, or listening to podcasts...so many things to do while eating! I noticed how my mobile shaped my behavior and thinking and decided to fight back. I've tried mindfulness eating, and it changed the way I used to eat. Eating becomes a way of recharging myself, both on body and soul. As there are three times per day to recharge, the benefits are continuous. It's easy - just eat when you are eating. Look at your food, smell them, taste them and eat them. Just connect to them, rather than connect to your device, news, or emails. Try it today, it's only 20-30 minutes. Bear Who?

In this episode, I had a conversation with Yasuhisa Hasegawa about how he's making a difference with design in the long run. A difference by working in organisations for more than a flash intervention. We also discussed why presentation skills are fundamental and highlighted some of the differences between design in Japan and the rest of the world.

As designers, asking thought-provoking questions to the stakeholders can significantly impact the success of the product. It can be vital in understanding the problem that needs to be solved in alignment with its business goals. These interactions can help designers pinpoint the latent needs of the users and cater to them with innovative and meaningful universal experiences. So how can designers create accurate mental models based on user research? In this episode, to learn more about this theme, we interact with Arin Bhowmick, Chief Design Officer at IBM Products. With over two decades of experience as a design leader, he has extensive experience in product innovations, design thinking-based transformations, user research and UX strategy. He also holds expertise in UX Leadership, Design Process management, User Interface Design, Usability Measurement and much more. Let's know more about his journey and experience in the latest episode of "MIT Designeering Series Podcast," "Pioneering Universal Experiences." You can connect with Arin on Twitter @arinbhowmick.

Visual Basic Welcome to the History of Computing Podcast, where we explore the history of information technology. Because understanding the past prepares us for the innovations of the future! Today we're going to cover an important but often under appreciated step on the path to ubiquitous computing: Visual Basic. Visual Basic is a programming language for Windows. It's in most every realistic top 10 of programming languages of all time. It's certainly split into various functional areas over the last decade or so, but it was how you did a lot of different tasks in Windows automation and programming for two of the most important decades through a foundational period of the PC movement. But where did it come from? Let's go back to 1975. This was a great year. The Vietnam War ended, Sony gave us Betamax, JVC gave us VHS. Francisco Franco died. I don't wish ill on many, but if I could go back in time and wish ill on him, I would. NASA launched a joint mission with the Soviet Union. The UK voted to stay the EU. Jimmy Hoffa disappears. And the Altair ships. Altair Basic is like that lego starter set you buy your kid when you think they're finally old enough to be able to not swallow the smallest pieces. From there, you buy them more and more, until you end up stepping on those smallest pieces and cursing. Much as I used to find myself frequently cursing at Visual Basic. And such is life. Or at least, such is giving life to your software ideas. No matter the language, there's often plenty of cursing. So let's call the Altair a proto-PC. It was underpowered, cheap, and with this Microsoft Basic programming language you could, OMG, feed it programs that would blink lights, or create early games. That was 1978. And based largely on the work of John Kemeny and Thomas Kurts, the authors of the original BASIC in 1964, at Dartmouth College. As the PC revolution came, BASIC was popular on the Apple II and original PCs with QuickBASIC coming in 1985, and an IDE, or Integrated Development Environment, for QuickBASIC shipped in 2.0. At the time Maestro was the biggest IDE in use, but they'd been around since Microsoft released the first in 1974. Next, you could compile these programs into DOS executables, or .exe files in 3.0 and 4.0 brought debugging in the IDE. Pretty sweet. You could run the interpreter without ever leaving the IDE! No offense to anyone but Apple was running around the world pitching vendors to build software for the Mac, but had created an almost contentious development environment. And it showed from the number of programs available for the Mac. Microsoft was obviously investing heavily in enabling developers to develop in a number of languages and it showed; Microsoft had 4 times the software titles. Many of which were in BASIC. But the last version of QuickBASIC as it was known by then came in 4.5, in 1988, the year the Red Army withdrew from Afghanistan - probably while watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit on pirated VHS tapes. But by the late 80s, use began to plummet. Much as my daughters joy of the legos began to plummet when she entered tweenhood. It had been a huge growth spurt for BASIC but the era of object oriented programming was emerging. But Microsoft was in an era of hyper growth. Windows 3.0 - and what's crazy is they were just entering the buying tornado. 1988, the same year as the final release of QuickBASIC, Alan Cooper created a visual programming language he'd been calling Ruby. Now, there would be another Ruby later. This language was visual and Apple had been early to the market on Visual programming, with the Mac - introduced in 1984. Microsoft had responded with Windows 1.0 in 1985. But the development environment just wasn't very… Visual. Most people at the time used Windows to open a Window of icky text. Microsoft leadership knew they needed something new; they just couldn't get it done. So they started looking for a more modern option. Cooper showed his Ruby environment to Bill Gates and Gates fell in love. Gates immediately bought the product and it was renamed to Visual Basic. Sometimes you build, sometimes you partner, and sometimes you buy. And so in 1991, Visual Basic was released at Comdex in Atlanta, Georgia and came around for DOS the next year. I can still remember writing a program for DOS. They faked a GUI using ASCII art. Gross. VB 2 came along in 1992, laying the foundations for class modules. VB 3 came in 93 and brought us the JET database engine. Not only could you substantiate an object but you had somewhere to keep it. VB 4 came in 95 because we got a 32-bit option. That adds a year or 6 for every vendor. The innovations that Visual Basic brought to Windows can still be seen today. VBX and DLL are two of the most substantial. A DLL is a “dynamic link library” file that holds code and procedures that Windows programs can then consume. DLL allow multiple programs to use that code, saving on memory and disk space. Shared libraries are the cornerstone of many an object-oriented language. VBX isn't necessarily used any more as they've been replaced with OCXs but they're similar and the VBX certainly spawned the innovation. These Visual Basic Extensions, or VBX for short, were C or C++ components that were assembled into an application. When you look at applications you can still see DLLs and OCXs. VB 4 was when we switched from VBX to OCX. VB 5 came in 97. This was probably the most prolific, both for software you wanted on your computer and malware. We got those crazy ActiveX controls in VB 5. VB 6 came along in 1998, extending the ability to create web apps. And we sat there for 10 years. Why? The languages really started to split with the explosion of web tools. VBScript was put into Active Server Pages . We got the .NET framework for compiled web pages. We got Visual Basic for Applications, allowing Office to run VB scripts using VBA 7. Over the years the code evolved into what are now known as Unified Windows Platform apps, written in C++ with WinRT or C++ with CX. Those shared libraries are now surfaced in common APIs and sandboxed given that security and privacy have become a much more substantial concern since the Total Wave of the Internet crashed into our lego sets, smashing them back to single blocks. Yah, those blocks hurt when you step on them. So you look for ways not to step on them. And controlling access to API endpoints with entitlements is a pretty good way to walk lightly. Bill Gates awarded Cooper the first “Windows Pioneer Award” for his work on Visual Basic. Cooper continued to consult with companies, with this crazy idea of putting users first. He was an earlier proponent of User Experience and putting users first when building interfaces. In fact, his first book was called “About Face: The Essentials of User Interface Design.” That was published in 1995. He still consults and trains on UX. Honestly, Alan Cooper only needs one line on his resume: “The Father of Visual Basic.” Today Eclipse and Visual Studio are the most used IDEs in the world. And there's a rich ecosystem of specialized IDEs. The IDE gives code completion, smart code completion, code search, cross platform compiling, debugging, multiple language support, syntax highlighting, version control, visual programming, and so much more. Much of this isn't available on every platform or for every IDE, but those are the main features I look for - like the first time I cracked open IntelliJ. The IDE is almost optional in functional programming - but In an era of increasingly complex object-oriented programming where classes are defined in hundreds or thousands of itty bitty files, a good, smart, feature-rich IDE is a must. And Visual Studio is one of the best you can use. Given that functional programming is dead, there's no basic remaining in any of the languages you build modern software in. The explosion of object-orientation created flaws in operating systems, but we've matured beyond that and now get to find all the new flaws. Fun right? But it's important to think, from Alan Kay's introduction of Smalltalk in 1972, new concepts in programming in programming had been emerging and evolving. The latest incarnation is the API-driven programming methodology. Gone are the days when we accessed memory directly. Gone are the days when the barrier of learning to program was understanding functional and top to bottom syntax. Gone are the days when those Legos were simple little sets. We've moved on to building Death Stars out of legos with more than 3500 pieces. Due to increasingly complex apps we've had to find new techniques to keep all those pieces together. And as we did we learned that we needed to be much more careful. We've learned to write code that is easily tested. And we've learned to write code that protects people. Visual Basic was yet another stop towards the evolution to modern design principals. We've covered others and we'll cover more in coming episodes. So until next time, think of the continuing evolution and what might be next. You don't have to be in front of it, but it does help to have a nice big think on how it can impact projects you're working on today. So thank you for tuning in to yet another episode of the History of Computing Podcast. We're so lucky to have you. Have a great day!
