Connecting instruments and managing data transfer between machines is bread and butter stuff for scientists. But you don't want to do the same thing each time you get a new machine or change to another one. Which is why my guest Sébastien Weber from Toulouse, France, created PyMoDAQ, an Open Source Python tool to help you with automating all of that.

Job interviews and coding tests are daunting. But most of us have to go through them at least once in our lives. Like Mike Mroczka, my guest, who is a software engineer. To share his experiences and help others he wrote a book how to get on top of coding interviews: "Beyond Cracking the Coding Interview". I met with Mike to discuss how interviewing and testing coding skills have changed, what the common pitfalls are that candidates should look out for and what it is we can do to prepare ourse...

This year's RSE (research software engineering) workshop at the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) in Hamburg, Germany, focused on one theme: continuous benchmarking for high performance computing. Organisers Rene Kaspart and Robert Speck tell us how it all went, while keynote speakers Michele Mesiti and Jayesh Badwaik give us concrete examples of how they go about continuous benchmarking - and why.

English Edition: My guest Bill Kurth and I will go on a space exploration of a special kind: the Voyager probes. Launched in 1977 just a few weeks apart they have now reached interstellar space. Some of the data they send back to Earth are audio - which can tell us a lot about the outer planets like Jupiter or indeed interstellar space, where both Voyagers are now.
