New Computer Science Podcast
Hello, Habr! In addition to creating practical programming courses, we at Hexlet also conduct webinars and open lectures , write articles and translations, and publish daily digests of interesting materials in social networks. networks.
We recently launched a new project - the computer science podcast of the same name. Thoughts, reasoning and study of the ideas of computer science, mathematics and programming. The leader is your humble servant. So far, 3 issues have been released, per week. The duration of each is about 30 minutes.
1. Tools and artificial stupid intelligence
The first issue was devoted to development tools, a glut of frameworks, an unfulfilled promise of the computer age, and artificial intelligence that behaves like an unpleasant, unreliable person.

3. Mathematics, computer science and the rules of the game

The best way to listen to podcasts is to use a special podcast client. For phones, I recommend Pocketcasts (Android, iOS) or Overcast (iOS). Of the free ones for Android, Podcast Addict , and iOS has a built-in Podcasts app.
Fresh issues are always published on our website and in all our social networks (links to the hub in the sidebar on the right).
