Can't wait for Manu's slides/video to come up :)

I have to disagree with some of the points in the keynote though. 
The part with algorithm in D example, I don't know but map(a = 
a.idup) isn't exactly obvious. About the scope vs no-scope - it'd 
be interesting to see how try-finally version looks like in 
comparison.


About the IDE discussion near the end of keynote - I know a lot 
of you people are happy just using Vim/Emacs + command line 
compiling, but having a proper IDE is a big part in language 
adoption nowadays. I can't speak for VisualD and MonoD, but I've 
heard they are nice, I am using DDT which is also good, although 
debugging on windows with DMD isn't that fun. A good example 
would be Visual Basic 6.0 - everyone seems to hate it, yet a lot 
of people (mostly non-programmers) use it to make apps because in 
few clicks you can make a GUI application. Same would apply to 
Java too - language isn't the best there is, and coding Java 
without Netbeans/Eclipse/IntelliJ would be a new dimension of 
pain but with those IDEs writing stuff is 'fun'.


All in all, great to see D community getting together to discuss 
and share stuff =)

I think Walters point about not making a language require an IDE to add  
boilerplate is a good one, the boilerplate itself, and the fact the  
language requires it is the real issue, not whether an IDE is used to  
generate it.


As for IDE's in general, I use MSVC pretty much predominantly and when  
doing GUI development in C# it's RAD :p  Doing the same thing with a text  
editor would be painful.  The boilerplate in this case is the  
skeleton/structure for the GUI library, not the language, so it's a  
separate boilerplate issue, and not one that good language design can  
obviate.


That, plus all the other nice features of an IDE - many of which can be  
synthesized by an editor with scripting support, are the reasons to use  
one.  Integrated debugging, etc.


All in all, great to see D community getting together to discuss and

The originals would be better since 1. they haven't been transcoded (or
at least haven't been transcoded an extra time) and 2. their
filesizes are apparently only a little bit larger than YouTube's
high-quality.

Transcoding a video just to end up with a file size that's comparable
to the original (as is the case with YouTube's high-quality version) is
kind of pointless since it inherently reduces quality for little-to-no
benefit. YouTube's lower quality version is nice just because it's a
significantly reduced filesize (even if it is in the goofy flv format),
but for a high quality version their transcoding is kind of a waste.

I've just read this quote:

-
Publishing on Dailymotion:

Dailymotion does not automatically publish your video after upload. It
will show up as a thumbnail. Clicking on the thumbnail takes you to a
viewer that says the video has not been published; instead, you need
to click on the link inside the thumbnail itself that says Click here
to publish.

This takes you to a page where you are required to add a title, tags,
and up to two channels you want the video to belong to. You can also
add a description, the language, the time and location it was made,
and choose to allow comments and make your video public or private.
-

So maybe you need to do one of these things to make the video viewable?

Publishing on Dailymotion:

Dailymotion does not automatically publish your video after upload. It
will show up as a thumbnail. Clicking on the thumbnail takes you to a
viewer that says the video has not been published; instead, you need
to click on the link inside the thumbnail itself that says Click here
to publish.

This takes you to a page where you are required to add a title, tags,
and up to two channels you want the video to belong to. You can also
add a description, the language, the time and location it was made,
and choose to allow comments and make your video public or private.

So maybe you need to do one of these things to make the video viewable?


This is very frustrating. I've done everything needed, and I can see the

Fair enough.

 BTW what's a good site for sharing slides?
 

Any plain old HTTP server. dlang.org, dconf.org, or even github since
you can easily direct link to the actual files (unless they've
changed that, but I don't think so). PDFs are small. I can mirror them
on my server too if you wanted to email them to me (user: nick1
domain: semitwist.com), or I can wait until they're all on slideshare
and grab them myself - I signed up for a dummy account (Yay
mailinator!! :) ). 

Slideshare doesn't seem to be too bad as an option for some people
(it beats the hell out of google docs), I just wouldn't stick
*exclusively* to online-viewer services, especially ones that require
either registration or high-end browser technologies just for a trivial
a href=../a download link.

Current FF (and probably other browsers) has a builtin PDF reader,
which is _much_ more convenient than any web-based tool I've seen.
(And a real PDF viewer is better yet).

I think there would be much less problems if the files were made 
available
directly first - it takes little effort and would allow other 
people to,

say, upload it to YouTube and million other sites.

Agreed, Speakerdeck is very nice, and it's useful that you can log in

since that way you don't have to worry about (more) proprietary formats

 Sorry 'bout that. I've now poked a hole at the right port in my
 firewall and hopefully fixed the list of trackers, so try
 re-downloading the torrent file and try again.
 

Ok, I'm now seeing one seed (myself), and 7 peers (2 of them
connected), and it is uploading to those two connected peers. So all
should be good now.

Kinda slow ATM as I'm seeding this from a home-class cable internet
connection, but of course, being torrent, the download speeds should
improve for eveyone as more data gets transferred out.

I'm hearing some phase weirdness from the audio. It's still 
perfectly
intelligible but a little off-putting. This sort of thing is 
usually
caused by a stereo signal being mixed to mono. Are the 
original files

stereo (should say somewhere in the properties)?


According to VLC the original seems to be stereo.

Andrei


The uploaded version appears to be mono (or at least left and 
right identical). This conversion is probably the cause of the 
strange hollow effect, particularly noticeable in the applause.


It's no big deal but it might be nice to get sorted so as to 
present the most professional product possible.

No, not unless Andrei puts it somewhere. I'm still willing to seed
torrents of those if I can get access to them. He said the
original version of the keynote was ~600MB, looks like there were ~20
talks, so figure ~12GB - I should be able to swing that at least for a
month or so assuming people actually want the full original quality
versions (and then naturally archive them to, it'd only be ~3-4 DVDRs).
Or I could transcode to something in between the original quality and
YouTube quality if people prefer.

It is impossible for me to see. The error message is in japanese, 
so I have no clue what is going on.

I says Publishing in progress... I guess the file is being uploaded or 
prepared as we speak.

I tried it in three different browsers. In two, it just plain didn't
work (black rectangle, no error messages, nothing), and in the other it
gave a message like Publishing in progress, check back
soon. (Interestingly, it was IE that more or less worked.)

So I guess it's just not ready yet.

Unless anyone's already planning to, I'm going to set up torrents for
all the videos as I get ahold of them (provided that FF's
DownloadHelper plugin works with dailymotion.com) so people can use
their own video players and don't have to rely on some
webpage-embedded, online-only player. (I miss the pre-Web2.0 days
when datafile and application were still independent and could be
mixed/matched at the user's discresion.) *Cough* Erm, ...I mean,
torrents later if I can manage them ;)
