Deimos bindings for MPFR
I just created D bindings[1] for the MPFR library[2]. It also contains a D type[3] that wraps call to the library. --- 1. http://code.dlang.org/packages/deimos-mpfr 2. http://www.mpfr.org/ 3. https://github.com/gchatelet/deimos-mpfr/blob/master/source/mpfrd.d
Joakim's Interview with Dicebot
A couple of weeks ago, Joakim sent me a fantastic interview he did with Dicebot, which I had intended to publish last Friday. I'm a week late, but it's live now. The relevant links are below. This isn't going to be the last post of the year. I've got a Project Highlight of a cool little game I stumbled across planned for next Wednesday. That's the one that will send us into the New Year, on the other side of which is a post related to some of Andrei's recent work. Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate it, Happy Holidays or Have a Nice Weekend to the rest!

Examples now have "Edit" and "Run" buttons that allow you to play with them online and see what they output. Changes for the ddox version forthcoming. Related: https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pull/1297, https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16984, https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16985. Many thanks to Sebastian Wilzbach who took this to completion, and to Damian Ziemba for working on the online compiler code! Andrei I would like to add that this is in an experimental/testing stage and hopefully will get stable with the next release ;-) Awesome.

When clicking the "edit" button, a new box appears with the example's code in it but editable. Then when clicking "run", the editted code disappears (it's saved for future use, pfew!). How about this: when clicking _either_ "edit" or "run", the non-editable code box disappears, and the edittable code box appears and stays there forever. (also, the height of the editable-code-box is too small; should fit the whole example's code?) cheers, Johan

An excellent feature for new users – lowers the cost of "just try it out". Feedback: 1. It will be aesthetically better if the edit/run buttons are inside the code box, say just inside the right top corner. 2. Could we add a "open in an external website/new window" icon/button (for example: http://findicons.com/files/icons/2315/default_icon/256/open_in_new_window.png ) to open the example in say a dpaste window or an equivalent playground. Thanks, Saurabh

I agree the button placement should be improved, I think they should be immediately to the right of "Examples:" e.g. "Examples: [Edit][Run]" Which makes it more clear that the examples can be run & edited.

I didn't see that there could be text between the "Examples:" line and the code box. Anyways, I agree with the feedback that the buttons off to the right is difficult to notice.

It will be aesthetically better if the edit/run buttons are inside the code box, say just inside the right top corner. Sure - that should be fairly trivial. 2.

Yes, that would be pretty nice to have. Unfortunately the maintainer of DPaste has been quite unresponsive in the past, so it's not possible with DPaste (e.g. we would need a simple POST API which returns a URL). If someone is planning to reboot sth. like DPaste (e.g. with DUB support, fast caches, ...), please let us know!
