Strange Loop 2016 plan

Strange Loop is coming September 15 - 17. Here are the talks I'm planning to attend this year. Many more are worth seeing, but I can only be in one place at a time.

Friday sessions

• 9:00 (keynote) Government Hacking and Human Rights: The Why and the How - Amie Stepanovich
• 10:10 Reasoning about performance (in the context of search) - Dan Luu
• 11:00 Modelica: Component Oriented Modeling of Physical Systems - Michael Tiller
• 12:50 Systems programming as a swiss army knife - Julia Evans
• 1:40 Expressing complex data aggregations with Histogrammar - Jim Pivarski
• 2:30 Fold, paper, scissors - an exploration of origami's fold and cut problem - Amy Wibowo
• 3:40 Point-Free or Die: Tacit Programming in Haskell and Beyond - Amar Shah
• 4:30 (keynote) Humanities x Technology - Ashley Nelson-Hornstein

Saturday sessions

• 9:00 (keynote) The Future of the Mobile Web - Paul Kinlan
• 10:10 How Rocket Science Can Help You Build Your App - Rashied Amini
• 11:00 "go test -race" Under the Hood: An inside scoop on a tool that dynamically detects racy memory accesses - Kavya Joshi
• 12:50 Languages for 3D Industrial Knitting - Lea Albaugh
• 1:40 Rusty Runtimes: Building Languages In Rust - Aditya Siram
• 2:30 Building a Distributed Build System at Google Scale - Aysylu Greenberg
• 3:40 Reproducibility - Gary Bernhardt
• 4:30 (keynote) Building Secure Cultures - Leigh Honeywell

The most difficult time slot to decide on was Saturday 11:00. All the talks at that time look excellent, so this is the slot where I'm most likely to change my mind at the last minute and go to another talk.

The easiest time slot choice (other than keynotes where there is no choice) was Saturday 3:40. I can't pass up a Gary Bernhardt talk. See Wat for one reason why.
