Ask HN: Best talks of 2018? • Hacker News Board

This talk by Nabil Hassein at Deconstruct is perhaps the best talk I’ve ever seen given to a conference audience ever, let alone in 2018. I feel lucky to have been present for it.

Shameless plug for my talk in haystack in April, which was a couple years of casual research rolled up. I really enjoyed giving the talk and I've had lots of great feedback, so thought I'd share it with y'all.

"Algorithmic extraction of keywords, concepts, and vocabularies."

Sorry only slides and no video: https://www.slideshare.net/MaxIrwin/haystack-2018-algorithmi...

"Maybe Not" by Rich Hickey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR5WdGrpoug

Another excellent talk by the creator of Clojure, and like the previous ones, relevant for all programmers.
