I have done so in the past. But they are a game streaming site. The only 
development streams meant to take place there is for games. So no I 
won't be.

I have been using msys2.  The mingw-w64 ports work
well and include an x86 and x86_64 version.

jollie


thanks for the info. however, i am not familiar with this project. to be 
honest, it is not quite clear to me what MSYS2 is good for or who would need 
it. the dox are very slim. so before i dig too deep into what looks like a lot 
of trouble/work, may i ask you this:

after original  package installation  setup  whatnot, will i end up with a 
dedicated gtk3 folder somewhere that acts as a (self-sufficient) runtime environment - 
i.e., will i be able to just zip this folder, distribute it to colleagues, unzip it and set 
the windows path to include the gtk/bin and then gkt 3.14+ can be used on this computer?

if not, MSYS2 would be of no use to me.

I ran out of my backlog and haven't had the time to write up 
new ones the last couple weeks because of other obligations 
eating up all my time (this week, I had to travel for a work 
thing... then got trapped mid way by that winter storm hitting 
Baltimore and Philadelphia), so I try to release this with 
something rather than nothing when that happens.


When I have a few extra hours, I'll write up tip or project 
spotlights for the next month including the UTF decoding in 
foreach and phobos, moving forward with the little game using 
my libraries, and whatever else pops up in the chat or 
something that I feel like talking about.


There are a bunch of good tips here:

If the author(s) are OK with the idea you could use this as a 
source of tips for a few weeks.

https://github.com/Hackerpilot/dfmt/releases/tag/v0.1.3

dfmt is a source code formatter for D. v0.1.3 fixes 34 issues from v0.1.2.

The codename is inspired by somebody who may or may not* have filed 45 
Github issues, 20 of them in a single day.


*totally did


Thanks for fixing them so fast!  I've never had a release named after me 
before.


For anyone interested, I've been running dfmt against ddmd and comparing the 
diffs.  Because ddmd is auto-generated it's also auto-formatted, so the 
differences mostly show a bug in either magicport or dfmt.  This has been a 
big help in getting ddmd's source ready for (the hopefully imminent) merge 
into master.

what does it mean for windows users? will it work with the 3.8 DL? can
you point me to a DL of 3.14 for windows?


cheers

Yes, it will work with GTK+ 3.8, but you can't use any of the features 
added in later releases.

I don't know a download location for 3.14 for Windows.

The streaming machine is pretty complex so:

Host machine Mac book pro ~ half a year to a year old (extremely good specs)
Host OS: OSX 10.10
Streaming software: OBS (the new cross platform version)
Music playing software: VLC on host
Now playing text exporter for VLC: 
https://gist.github.com/rikkimax/39b46f7ff3aa0c93b5cf

VLC to OBS: http://rogueamoeba.com/freebies/soundflower/
VM system: Parallels 10
VM OS: Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon
Other software: Remarkable[0], git

Nothing really big difference between fresh install of the distro.

The font size is a bit off. What with the Retina resolution. But 
generally I have increased the font size up enough that people can see 
it well.
