Ask HN: Old tech talks/videos? (80s, 90s)

6 points by zerr 9y ago

Is there any archive containing old tech talks e.g. from 80s, 90s? When Motif was popular and CORBA was a thing and OO was in its prime-time.

YouTube and archive.org "Computer Chronicles"

  "Computer Chronicles" are more user-oriented, kinda marketing videos. I'm interested e.g. in C++ tech talks (from 90s).

    They display and do deep dives into the technologies they are demonstrating. I'd say it's a good match.

The Computer History Museum has a youtube channel with a lot of material on it. While it's mostly old material (oral histories from people who were movers and shakers in computer science in the 40s and 50s), it has a lot of re-uploads of technical talks from more recent conferences too. (For instance, they hosted some transfers of VHS recordings of Alan Kay lectures on OO at some mid-90s conference at Sun.)
