Well, you have 'til the end of January ... :-) Why not talk about exactly that -- about providing effective on-list guidance, the kind of things that are simple or tricky to deal with, the kind of supporting infrastructure that might be helpful for minimizing the number of repeat questions I'm sure you can extend this list.

I ran the bench-http-server/request examples during development to debug a memory leak and it seemed like the performance was worse than a while ago when it was optimized for Dicebot's benchmarks (the performance seems to vary a lot across a benchmark run for some reason). Getting it up to speed again (and keep it there by monitoring performance for each new commit) will be a priority for the coming months. Hopefully by then the TechEmpower benchmark integration [1] can also be finished, although it may be too late for the next benchmark round (I don't have time to do it currently and probably won't for the next 5 or so months).

Re: vibe.d 0.7.18 has been released
Thanks for the clarification. I'll start learning about vibe.d and thinking about using it as a high performance HTTP server.

Me too. I was asked to write a D book recently, and to make the list of topics, I just looked over the forums and stack overflow questions to see what people were asking about...

I had some until I have started to think about "Credentials: What qualifies you to talk on the topic of choice?". Have honestly answered "Nothing" and closed the page. :) Will try my best to get there as a visitor this time though.

The fact that you are curious about the topic in question, have given it some thought and come up with something interesting to say? :-) It's not all about degrees and job titles.

I'm sure your standing in the community and your experience with the language would be qualification enough. I think, in your particular case, you shouldn't let that one field discourage you from submitting :)
Re: Gentoo overlay online
Hi Marco! On Monday, 18 November 2013 at 15:22:04 UTC, Marco Leise wrote: I have completed what I wanted to achieve for the new overlay and have uploaded it here: https://github.com/gentoo-dlang Features include: * Installation of DMD, GDC and LDC in parallel * Customizable »CFLAGS« for each D compiler * GDC is integrated with GCC for the best compatibility * Slotted installation of previous D compiler versions * Shared library support when using DMD * Easily compile debug builds with DMD and release builds with LDC/GDC even when they depend on libraries like GtkD. (Note: This depends on availability of libraries in the repository.) Try e.g.: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" USE="ldc2-0.12.0" emerge GtkD Looks very nice. :-) Maybe you should put a short description into the wiki. Then it is possible to link from every compiler page to this page. I think this would make your work more visible. Regards, Kai
