#2What is this about?
Edit: Strange Loop is a multi-disciplinary conference that aims to bring together the developers and thinkers building tomorrow's technology in fields such as emerging languages, alternative databases, concurrency, distributed systems, mobile development, and the web.
Strange Loop was created in 2009 by software developer Alex Miller and is now run by a team of St. Louis-based friends and developers under Strange Loop LLC, a for-profit but not particularly profitable venture.

#3"In the middle of the pattern matching algorithm, there was this single comment that read # and now for the tricky bit." (~10:40)
At ~28:00 is he saying that the optimal computing device could operate 27 orders of magnitude more efficiently that what we use today?
At ~36:00, finally something to make me sit up. "content addressable store".

#4Wow this guy doesn't know what he is talking about. Just a bunch of numbers without any arguments.
I had to stop watching when a laptop was compared to a black hole.
I'm sure the laymen are impressed though.

I think you missed the point, that slide was about the theoretical limits of computation, it is a very weak upper bound that won't be achieved.

#6This talk attempts to provide a strategy for reducing complexity within software. The whole talk is really valuable, but if you're short of time.. skip to 36:00. In a real hurry? Start at 44:17.

#7Great talk. Very light-hearted and entertaining.
Always impressed by Joe. Programming since the 60s and still programming, still writing, giving talks. He is a great role model. I wish I would be programming and be just as excited about it when I am at his age.

He mentions these topics with regards to distributed hash tables:

new to coding, and volunteered for a couple shifts in exchange for entry. first conference ever. this was AWESOME! incredibly well run, and obv not about the $$ - but they freaking deserve all the success they get, financial and otherwise!

FYI this guy designed Erlang :)
