Send us a textEnglish Edition: In this last episode of 2024 I want to remember David Mills and his work on the Network Time Protocol (NTP). The tool that keeps our machines in sync. David Mills worked closely with Harlan Stenn from the Network Time Foundation on NTP and I was very fortunate to grab some of Harlan's time to talk to him about NTP and David Mills' contribution. Some links (by far not an exhaustive list):https://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ David Mills homepage at the Uni. of ...
Send us a textEnglish Edition: Arnaud Legrand, Christophe Pouzat and Konrad Hinsen, three French researchers, who went through the pain of making research data and software reproducible. Out of that pain grew a set of online courses. I met with them to discuss how they developed the courses, the steps they had to go through and what the courses cover. https://www.fun-mooc.fr/en/courses/reproducible-research-methodological-principles-transparent-scie/https://www.fun-mooc.fr/en/...
