The Two Codes

BIG NEWS: Belief in the Future now has a YouTube channel: Sabbath Mode [https://youtu.be/Or0KqnwTpEU]. Go check it out before listening to the episode Coding is one part skill, one part magic, and one part tradition. But when AI use takes out the conversation of code -- the necessary language of the code itself -- can the tradition be kept alive? How do we keep something living and growing without passing along its stories, its trials and errors, and its complexities? On this episode, host David Zvi Kalman speaks with scientist Samuel Arbesman [https://arbesman.net/] about his new book, The Magic of Code, and the ways that religion and coding reflect one another.  Resources:  The Magic of Code [https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-magic-of-code-how-digital-language-created-and-connects-our-world-and-shapes-our-future/ShQGtk2gKcVW5k4D?ean=9781541704480&next=t] by Samuel Arbesman  The poetic web [https://www.luxcapital.com/content/the-orthogonal-bet-the-quest-to-find-the-poetic-web] Learn more about your ad choices.

episode The Wild World of Bible Apps artwork

The Wild World of Bible Apps

We often think about how technology has influenced religion, but we rarely question the opposite: how has religion pushed technological advancement? In the case of Christianity, software to share the Bible has been in development for decades and has been shaping tech advancement behind the scenes for even longer. On this episode, we're talking to John Dyer, a professor at Dallas Theological Seminary and the author of the new book People of the Screen [https://bookshop.org/p/books/people-of-the-screen-dyer/18624232] that details the entwined history of software and evangelism.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
