Just the Tip

• Paden recommends The Illustrated TLS Connection.

Notes

Starts at 20m46s.

I was drinking water. Paden was drinking Diet Dr. Pepper. Jthan was drinking Bacardi rum and coke.

• TAAAALES OF TOMORROWWWWW! We make predictions about the future of tech.
  • Paden
    • He wants real flying cars, not turbines.
    • Gbps synchronous mobile towers/devices.
    • 16K TVs.
    • No bandwidth caps globally (residential ISPs, mobile carriers, etc.).
    • Wireless servers.
  • r00t^2
    • I think there’s going to be a huge boom post-covid in fulltime remote position opportunities.
    • I think PHP will go the way of Perl 5 (Perl “proper”).
    • I also think RoR is going to die as well.
    • Languages will continue to try to take C’s place. I’m not sure if they’ll succeed or not, but the effort to do so will grow.
  • Jthan
    • He accidentally “invented” the blade server.
    • More realistically, he thinks AMD will overtake Intel in the server CPU markets.
    • Jthan thinks servers are going to be “more” “modular”…
    • And also more part refurbishing…
    • And solar-powered.

15 Clams

In this segment, Jthan shares with you a little slice of life. The title is a reference to this video. (2m16s in)

Starts at 56m 34s.

Jthan asks why someone would use X.509 with their monitoring. I explain that it offers not only secrecy/privacy but also integrity.

Errata

• Patrick Warburton was indeed in an M&Ms commercial.
• Jthan did not understand it sufficiently.
  • He also released a video.
• Calibre still officially isn’t really ported over to python 3 yet, but the effort seems to be underway.
• Paden mentioned to Jthan and I on Discord that it’s not actually New Jersey with the most solar power. It’s actually California.
