I didn't expect so many C++ talks in this list. Not bad for a supposedly dying language :) "Introduction to Wait-free Algorithms in C++ Programming" by Daniel Anderson ( https://youtube.com/watch?v=kPh8pod0-gk ) is a very good talk, btw!

#72I really wish there existed a central platform that tracks/links to all tech conference videos from past to present because YouTube just plain sucks for this and in general, to focus. They've had DECADES to polish this experience (in general for any educational content), at least under the premium tier and I've given up all hopes of them ever getting this right. Off the top of my head, such a platform could: 1. Encou…
I think this is a great idea for a startup. As a scientist, I would definitely be a paying customer, and on top I could deduct that membership from my taxes or have my lab pay for it like we (like many others) are paying Overleaf just under $1000 a year only to have LaTeX run in a Web browser to collaborate on papers (now my most important online service/app). We usually know where to find the talks and recordings fo…

Considering the fact that Jon despises open-source you might be waiting a long time.
Why does he despise open-source?

There are many rant videos available online - but in general the core of his software philosophy is based in minimal, clean, extremely optimized code. Open-source rarely results in any of those things. Jon is the last guy wandering in the desert, still devoted to concise code - I love him for it.

#75I watched a little bit of the filesystems in rust talk and while it was a fairly straightforward talk, I was shocked at the q&a session. Emotionally hyperbolic ranting, jumping to conclusions, and wild accusations. I had no idea the linux community was so childish and reactionary towards rust.
What do you mean? That wasn't a Q&A session, they interrupted the speaker and ate all the time arguing. The speaker didn't get to finish his presentation. This makes me think, whoever wrote these top 100 talks has either questionable tastes or just did a simple query and filter (SELECT * FROM youtube.video WHERE tag = tech SORT BY youtube.video.views LIMIT 100).

#76Wish Jon Blow would get back out there! He was asked on a recent stream and said he has turned down invites while trying to get Jai pushed out the door.
I really want to learn his methodology to writing software

It's especially shortsighted to squash it just because they used it on some of your advertisers' content and your advertisers yelled at you about it.

What you see as abuse some would see as user agency. User agency is a very powerful thing, and it's shortsighted to squash it just because your users aren't using it strictly to enhance your content in the way you want. It's especially shortsighted to squash it just because they used it on some of your advertisers' content and your advertisers yelled at you about it.
So even if you have your up/down votes, expect that how videos are presented to you are not strongly reflective of the vote count.
