Stay for where to find savings (Hot Dogs!).

The Allusionist - 146. Survival: Today, Tomorrow part 1
The Icelandic language has remained so stable over the centuries, speakers can read manuscripts from 900 years ago without too much trouble. And when they need a new word for more recent concepts, there are committees to coin one, so that the modern Icelandic lexicon includes such things as the internet, helicopters and mansplaining. Defending the language from the encroachment of English, however, is rather more challenging.
Find out more about the topics covered in this episode, and a transcript, at theallusionist.org/todaytomorrow1.

Ologies with Alie Ward - Booster Coronasode: Shots & Holidays with Vaccine Infodemiologist Jessica Malaty Rivera
You’re six to ten times LESS likely to catch COVID-19 if you’re vaccinated, and thus less likely to infect others. Great! But what about breakthrough cases? Who’s at risk for them? How many folks haven’t gotten vaccinated? Should pregnant people get the ol’ jab, what might happen with transmission rates in 2022, yearly booster questions, the ethics of vaccine distribution, myocarditis, Long COVID, quarantine fatigue and essentially whether the holidays are a good idea.

The Intelligence from The Economist - America’s sneezing: diagnosing global inflation
Prices are up all over, especially in America. But whether the world’s largest economy is part of the problem or just suffering the same symptoms will determine how to fix it. Autocratic leaders of middling-sized countries are having a field day as America has relinquished its world-policeman role. And what makes some languages fail to develop a word for blue?

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S5 Bonus: Luke Hoban, Pulumi
Luke Hoban has been into tech and computers for many, many years. It started off when he was a kid, but sailed with him into college as he got into languages. He spent the first part of his career at Microsoft building tools, IDE's and programming languages. His take on the frame of mind required to build a language is centered around what you want it to do, combined with how it feels for the programmer to express what they want with it to do. Bottom line... it is an art, not a science, and is much more about product and user interaction design than anything.
Post Microsoft, Luke went work for Amazon on the cloud, specifically EC2. The thing he had in the back of his head for many years was how to bring the programming model into the cloud space. He eventually left Amazon, and set out to combine his love of designing programming languages, with the movement and excitement of the cloud.
This is the creation story of Pulumi.

The Best One Yet - ❤️🔥 “Will you marry them?” — Match’s human match-maker. Pure Watercraft’s eBoat. Zoom’s Home Alone.
It’s our last pod before Monday 11/29 so we whipped up a TBOY for ya… Dating app Match just unveiled a new feature that’s the opposite of everything it’s ever done: Human match-making for accele-daters. Pure Watercraft just gave up 25% of itself to General Motors for electric boats because if you can electrify a boat... you can electrify anything. And Zoom was the Stay at Home stock darling of the pandemic, but now it’s Home Alone.
