Not sure if it is something I can get to in the course of my 
project though. Scanning only unions conservatively is still 
pretty good.


Does it matter that @safe code does not allow unions of 
pointers and non-pointers?


I'm not sure, but one would thing that @safe code wouldn't need 
any extra information about the union. I wouldn't know how to 
differentiate between them though during runtime. Probably 
someone with more experience with the compiler would know more 
about that kind of thing.

The twitter feed provides a link:

But I'm probably not going to bother to wake up at 4am for it...


Yes, correct! There are currently three places to view the stream:

Sociomantic Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/sociomantic/app/190322544333196/

Sociomantic Website:
https://www.sociomantic.com/blog/2016/05/follow-dconf-2016-in-real-time/

Sociomantic UStream: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/pR6fAWVkXzw

We'll try to get a PR submitted to the official DConf website to get a
stream there too so people really have a wide variety of where they are
most comfortable to watch the live stream, but I'm not sure how likely
that last addition will be given that the conference starting may engage
most folks and thus prevent any site updates. I could be wrong though!

If anyone else feels like they want to host a stream somewhere, please
let me know!

Lastly, if you want direct access to me or any other organizers during
the event, best case is to Tweet directly to @DLangConf as that is more
aggressively notifying us than the forums.


I'd love to mirror it on livecoding.tv. Of course the main concern with 
this is a round trip to europe from New Zealand would not be very good 
for viewers, even if I'm on a fiber connection.


Wouldn't be too hard I suppose to write an irc bot to mirror chat there 
on to FreeNode #D or even automate tweets. Especially with my irc to 
XMPP bridge (free for use).

Aha, I've forgotten one fun tidbit! Dicebot has had the amazing 
idea of providing a hashtag for "live questions" from the remote 
audience. So if you're watching and want to say or ask something, 
simply Tweet and include the hashtag #askDConf. Dicebot will pick 
up the Q's and pass them onto the appropriate party in the event 
itself. Should be quite a fun way to interact with the live 
stream! :)

Great! That is what should have been done long time ago.

I'm pretty sure, if you implement just precise heap scan (and 
lock removal), it will be already huge win.
