Internships investigating D in high-performance computing.
Hi there, I want to get the word out about an internship position investigating D for high performance computing at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre in Lugano, Switzerland (cscs.ch). For more information about the position, visit: http://www.cscs.ch/about/working_at_cscs/internships/investigating_the_d_programming_language_in_hpc/index.html This is a good opportunity to work with D on some state of the art hardware and tools. The project proposals aren't set in stone, and we are open to proposals (they must be HPC-specific, and preferably with GPUs). The position is open to currently enrolled Masters students (or highly motivated bachelor students). The positions are not restricted to Swiss students, however for work permit reasons, you must be enrolled at a European University. The internships are paid, with enough to cover living costs, and Ticino is a very pleasant place to be in summer with lots of lakes and mountain valleys to explore on the weekends. If you are interested, contact my colleague Claudio (find his email by following the link above), or me at bcumm...@cscs.ch Cheers, Ben Cumming.

Re: Mobile App STACK4 with a D backend
It works fine on Nexus 5 (it also loaded promptly the first time). I lost to the AI a couple of times before I tried to play multiplayer, but gave up after waiting a couple of minutes for another player to come online.

You should be getting an android notification once some else wants to play (if there is no bug ^^). Right now both players need to be online simultaniously. Next release is going to change that.

Perhaps installing libgnome-ui might solve the problem. Anyway, issues like these are mostly caused by MonoDevelop which can't be run on such a huge variety of Linux setups without further efforts - so how does this relate to stability when I actually am able to rundebug programs? Probably, we can add additional notice for Ubuntu users. I use Ubuntu KDE and can debug programs, but your installation instructions talk nothing about Ubuntu gnome. BTW, it's also stability question. Assume that new D member wants to install Mono-D. What he should think if it fails for the most popular Linux OS? I understand that it's MonoDevelop issue, but new D member doesn't know it. Okay, I've tested everything successfully under Ubuntu 13.XX now: 1) Downloadinguntar'ing my MD distro 2) Installing libgnomeui-0 due to that GnomePlatform error at launching MD (okay, that was indeed a main problem until now..but well, I'm off Ubuntu for..2 years now?) 3) Installing dmd from the d/l page 4) Installing Mono-D the Gdb debugging addin 5) Add the dmd include path to Mono-D's settings 6) Making a test D project 7) Compile Debug it Now where's the actual problem with this 'routine'? Which point except 2) wasn't written on my installation page already?

Thanks for the shout out Andrei. I am very interested in any feedback that anybody here has on potential work we could do. I am only starting out with D myself, so I'm open to any ideas from more experienced hands who might have put some thought into this before, or know of similar work. Ben.
