Is there also a link that starts earlier in the day? this 
archived footage only starts at Johan's talk.


Many thanks.


I checked, it starts from the beginning. The first talk is 
Vladimir', then Meyers'.


Well that's really unusual, on my laptop it definitely starta 
halfway through. But on my mobile it starts at the beginning just 
as you say.

If you go to the link that Mike posted, you can access all of 
the old talks by simply going back to an earlier part of the 
video. I just watched the Meyers talk that way.


thanks

Re: DConf hackathon: idea list

Hi all,

the DConf hackathon isn’t a hackathon in the traditional sense. It is
intended as a day for _collaboratively_ focusing on long-lasting
problems and pain points in the D ecosystem, planning upcoming features
or DIPs, and creation of a rough roadmap for the next months.
Of course, any D hackers who wish to simply progress their own personal
projects are welcome too!

Experience has shown that in large groups too much time is wasted on
giving a voice to everyone, whereas for tiny groups chances are that it
takes too long to get the ball rolling.
Hence, a group size of four or five D hackers is recommended.

Below you can find a list of themes with a short abstract and a couple
of ideas. The abstracts and ideas are intended to get you started and
guide you. Please feel free to _add your own ideas_ and _add your names_
next to them so that people can ping you (IRC, email, and other IM
handles might be handy as well). Of course, you can add your name to
multiple projects.
On Sunday the first half an hour will be used to finalize the group
forming. All existing groups and persons with an idea, but without a
group can pitch their idea shortly (one minute max, no slides) and thus
find other motivated D hackers.

From the Phobos wishlist:
I am working an a generic SQL database interface. If anybody is
interested in helping out I have a small amount of code that shows the
general design direction I've taken so far. We can discuss the design
and collaboratively hack out a prototype.

The current code is here:
https://github.com/LightBender/std.experimental.database.sql


Looking at that I think focusing on describing of tables ext. would be a
good first step. I worry that it won't be very flexible memory
management or serialization wise.



It's definitely the hardest problem to solve. Obviously we could start 
with a brute force approach (box everything like ADO.NET does) for the 
sake of getting started and then work on improving it later. For now I 
compromised and used Variant, which should be sufficient for most cases 
right now. (See latest commit) I am using Classes and Dynamic Arrays so 
it's not @nogc yet, but this is something that can be improved over 
time. There is no reason that this could not use the new Allocators API 
at a later date.


I'm not looking for inclusion into Phobos during the DConf Hackathon, 
but I would like to block out something that we can start using.

In addition, the snap package can be installed on Linux distros 
that support it  using:


sudo snap install --classic --channel=1.3/beta ldc2

or, if you already have a version installed:

sudo snap refresh --channel=1.3/beta ldc2
