This is probably something I'd find interesting and enjoyable but: the video doesn't load (for whatever reason), the slides have no "Next" button (for whatever reason), and there is no plain text transcript... so I guess I'll have to skip it.

Seriously, when you prepare a long talk, surely you write the script beforehand, right? Then upload it (in a text format), please! Also, there is nothing wrong with PDF slides: those don't look too great, but at least they don't usually have problem with scrolling.

from looking at view-source:https://shellhaters.org/deck/ it seems they hand-rolled their own navigation -- try pressing "?" to bring up the (ahem) navigation controls

based on the topic of the talk, your experience, and the fact they hand rolled something present in browsers since the 90s -- I can't tell if it's satire or what

which part is already present in browsers?

navigation between pages, or if one wishes super hard to be SPA JS-y, `addEventListener` and `history.pushState`, although that wasn't what I meant when I made reference to the 90s -- the PNGs used by the slide deck exist as resources on the server, so one does not need JS to view them, even in an _o_rdered _l_ist of elements of <img>

I'm not being "you kids get off my lawn" as much as I don't follow how rolling your own opaque and obviously user hostile custom navigation framework-whatever enhances the message the author is trying to convey about how "shell is hard"

This is probably because shellhaters.org is written in bash.

I had to use the left arrow key and "rewind" it. That brought me back to that same first slide, but now I can move forward through it. No clue why.

I figured out the same, but if I try to right arrow through a slide too quickly (less than 5 to 10 seconds) it seems to ignore it

The server hosting the video file itself is returning a 500 response at the moment.

There are 404s for js files and javascript errors in the console when I hit right arrow, but after a while (a few tries) I'm able to start using left and right arrows (inconsistently) in the slide deck. Looks like they require the speaking to mean much though.

Oh hey, here's the talk to YouTube (2010) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olH-9b3VJfs
