I've actually been wanting to find more programming talks I'm interested in lately... Unfortunately, by hacker, you didn't mean programmer. :(

Still, nice idea. I could wish for a way to choose what to watch other than hitting 'next' and hoping, though.


Have you seen the collection we're building up on Lanyrd? We have over 3,700 talk videos now, plenty of which are about programming. You can search our video collection here: http://lanyrd.com/video


Do the videos have to be uploaded by a conference organizer, or could I add a bunch of talks from CCC in Berlin? They're Creative Commons licensed, but I'm not associated with the conference myself.


I hadn't. Thanks!


Here are some tech related Topchan.tv channels. The GoogleTechTalks channel has some pretty good programming talks.

"You don’t have Flash installed, which you need to play videos. This is out of our control. Sorry about that."

Sigh.

"You don't have Flash installed": True.

"which you need to play videos": Incorrect.

"This is out of our control": Incorrect.

"Sorry about that": Probably not.


YouTube's JavaScript API currently does not support HTML5. http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/js_api_reference.html#Re...


Nice idea, but lacks some additional control, that would allow switching videos in less random fashion. Floating infobox (obviously hideable one) would help here a bit too.

Infobox could have also a real-time generated schedule, i.e. tv guide, queuing some shows and showing estimated time required to watch them (and recalcing it on forced change).



Steve's my drinking buddy... He shared some of the code with me, yes :-)


Cool :)


Love the idea of curating some good hacker (or programming) talks.

I'd love to something more along the lines of:

Watch talks from hacker conferences like a DVR
