Maybe these are mostly too new, or you have different (more practical, hands on?) definition of tech-talk - but from a quick look the only speakers I expected - and found - were Sandi Mets and Rob Pike.
If it's practical, I'm surprised not to see the js "wat" lightning talk (which I now can't seem to find...).
If it's more general "best of", I'd expect something like Guy Steele "growing a language" :
https://youtu.be/_ahvzDzKdB0 https://youtu.be/_ahvzDzKdB0
Douglas Engelbart "the mother of all demos":
https://youtu.be/yJDv-zdhzMY https://youtu.be/yJDv-zdhzMY
Alan Kay "doing with images makes symbols":
https://youtu.be/p2LZLYcu_JY https://youtu.be/p2LZLYcu_JY
Or, if that's too long, the much more condensed ted talk:
"a powerful idea about teaching ideas":
https://youtu.be/Eg_ToU7m1MI https://youtu.be/Eg_ToU7m1MI
(Maybe that's not a "tech talk"?)
Rich Hickey "simple made easy" :

To name a few of the top of my head.
- yaj54 8y agoYou're right those are all great talks (and fit in my definition of a tech talk). I just checked, and none of them are in my dataset, which I'll admit I'm surprised about. But they (and related ones) will make it into the next round.
- Tuna-Fish 8y agoThe issue seems to be that they are not typically watched on youtube. For example, the "simple made easy" linked above is a low-quality pirate youtube copy, the proper place to watch it is here: https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy

- lgregg 8y agoI really enjoyed that. Thanks for finding it.
- O_H_E 8y agoJust watched Sandi Mets talk because of your comment, and it sucks to be forced to go study biology/sociology/literature after this ;)
