2017-02-01 - OS : The underlying overhead of computation, Antti Kantee
18:45, Suspenders, 103 Greenwich Street, 2nd Floor, Manhattan

An operating system is a piece of code intended to help computer
operators load punch cards -- hence "operating". The timesharing system
was created to allow interactive shared access to the handful of
computers which existed at the time. We will examine what is in the
interactive punch card loader in 2017, what actually belongs in there,
and why things are the way they are. Like science, the talk is highly
religious. Unlike computer science, the talk is grounded in reality.
Discussions, heretical opinions, and questions are encouraged
