Neat! Marshall Kirk McKusick is giving a talk. He’s the author of some books including one of my favorite books, The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System, 2nd Edition (2014). I bought that book when it came out and I love it but I still haven’t finished reading the whole thing. Didn’t realize it was that many years ago since it came out.
- drewg123 5y agoKirk gives great talks, I highly recommend him as a speaker. His talks about the history of BSD are amazing. I love the story about how a box of tapes containing the highly optimized Vax VMS context switch code fell off a truck that was driving past UCB, and they just had to open the box and look at what was on the tapes to find the proper owner..
