It seems like the video is not up yet, but "The Birth and Death of Javascript" by Gary Bernhardt -- of 'Wat!' infamy[1] -- was by far the most entertaining talk I've seen yet. Jessica McKellar's quick overview of building a language-level sandbox was also phenomenal. Pycon has been really good so far, I can't wait for the next two days of talks.

Wow, that was fast. Great infrastructure here at Pycon. Knowing what kind of work goes into editing video to make it available in good quality to the web, kudos to the Montréal-Python team for helping put this together!

Is NextDayVideo still the recorder for the 2014 pycon? If so I wouldn't be surprised as they have deep experience in this space.

Just curious on all those who are there, do your companies pay for the trip, hotel and conference fees?

Speaking for me, my company paid for everything because I'm speaking.

I haven't been to Pycon, but I'll be presenting "Brainwaves for Hackers" at Europython in July, and I'll probably submit a proposal for "Scientific Visualizations with Blender" for the concurrent PyData Berlin event.

Please do the "Scientific Visualizations with Blender" talk!

I was not able to go this year, but one of the perks of my job is paid trips to cons. It is worth asking for most reasonable employers will say yes.

Is "Descriptors and Metaclasses - Understanding and Using Python's More Advanced Features" really 3 hours long?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This was insanely fast. Having video release date deltas not measured in weeks and months is a great achievement.

They must have used golang to get this processed and posted.

dunno why that was getting downvotes :-) It's not trolling if the tongue is in the cheek

I spoke at PyCon, and it was my first time speaking at a major conference. If any HN'er with some spare time (or interest in the topic!) would like to give me feedback on what's good and bad about my talk, and what I can do to improve next time, it'd be very much appreciated.

Thanks!
