By far my favorite talk is and has been for a very long time Bret Victor's inventing on principle, for me, nothing comes close, except for some of his other work I suppose.

- acchow 10y agoAgreed. Was gonna post this if it wasn't up already. After this, The Birth and Death of Javascript: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death-of-javascript https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death... He could've taken the concept further tho. I think there are real hardware simplifications you could do if the OS is a jitting VM - no memory mapping unit and take out the expensive fully-associative TLBs.
- josh_carterPDX 10y agoThis is great. I love that he goes into the future. :)
- caub 10y agothis is quite outdated
- elliotec 10y agobut it's from 2035...
- SonOfLilit 10y agoI always have trouble when telling people in person to go watch this - how should I pronounce the "J" in Javascript? * SPOILER ALERT, and seriously go watch it first * If I pronounce "J" I do him an unjustice, and if I pronounce "Y" I ruin a great surprise that comes quite a few minutes into the talk.
- natdempk 10y agoI always go with the "J" pronunciation. It maintains the expectation that the talk makes a joke out of by breaking. I would rather give everyone that first time experience of hearing the "Y" pronunciation than do Gary an injustice.
- mabbo 10y agoWhat's especially neat about that talk is the fact that it's from CUSEC: a student-run conference out of Montreal. So many great talks I've seen online were from that conference. Never went to it as a student (it was only 3 hours away, how did I miss this?) but lots of my friends did, one even ran the thing for a year I think.
- DeBraid 10y agoBest talk open ever: "Unlike the previous session, I don't have any prizes to give out. I'm just going to tell you how to live your life"
- ptrincr 10y agoThanks for posting this, very much appreciated. Are there any tools available which allow you to live code in such a way? I did a quick search and found this - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9448215/tools-to-support-live-coding-as-in-bret-victors-inventing-on-principle-talk http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9448215/tools-to-support-... It seems quite out of date though.
