Re: Real time captioning of D presentations

Bye, bearophile Steno? You can type in realtime? Then why the hell did I spend time learning to type using a normal keyboard with two different character sets. Plover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3MYFT6VZk8 I am wondering. Should we all start learning plover? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu7DygveoB4 Somebody can start practising for the next D Conf :-)

Nope, I never actually got around to creating any.
Okay, busy guy.
I just had an outline on my desktop of stuff I was thinking
about creating, but just didn't finish it. The paper was my
recreation of that outline from memory.
Here's the outline.txt stuff I didn't mention on the paper btw:
* Replacing functions with the linker
* Reflection: Using RTInfo's lint to enforce ownership rules
(e.g. make it a compile time error to define a struct with a
mutable slice. This has a few pros and a lot of cons.)
* Doing a custom calling convention with naked functions and
mixins
* Talk about ABI details and the implementation of scope
statements (e.g. scope(exit). I briefly talked about it being
lowered to finally {} but didn't go into the asm like I was
considering
* The -betterC switch and what I want more from it.
Otherwise, my memory was pretty decent for remembering what I
had in mind! Then my random on-the-spot digressions padded out
the time.
I would have preferred slides though. I'm not so good at
listening. The visual impact helps ME better at remembering.
Yeah, your memory is fine.

In fact, so excited we're considering livestreaming the event for the benefit of the many of us who can't make it to Menlo Park, CA. Livestreaming entails additional costs so we're trying to assess the size of the online audience. Please follow up here and on twitter: https://twitter.com/D_Programming/status/464854296001933312 Thanks, Andrei I'll probably watch most of it if it's streamed.
