I am part of a nonprofit organization (some kind of admin for my village)
which provides internet access in my town(village) and  until a few months
ago there was a page (official page of our organization) which works for
all of our members even when there has been some issue with connectivity.
Ok if the issue has been between member and organization servers it would
not work, but still work in other cases or I have been able to find out
what is wrong just by looking at that page. But now they have published
all internet outages on facebook page, so I am not aware of them. And even
all my mates from the village who do not have another internet provider.

Other issue is they have some events (I always have been part of all events
before), but because those events now are on facebook it is really hard to
me to participate

So from my point of view FB is the worst thing for community or
organization in some cases.

I do not think so, the issue is, that there could be more people who

but because we agree we do not participate.

You make bad assumptions, who is "most everyone else"? I have only see
few  members of dlang arguing about that. But there is much bigger

Generally no, because Apline use musl libc instead of glibc, so there

If it is binding you should probably let it same as original code. I
always try to make bindings as same as possible. It is much easier
port existing code in original language. If I want to change interface
or anything I made a new wrapper around that binding

Re: Blog post: What D got wrong

default(attributes..) is no needed. You can already do this by:

pure @safe:
// your code

But what is needed is some way to disable those attributes.  As you
mentioned  one way could be done by allowing this:

pure(false)  or pure!false or @disable(pure,@nogc...)

Yes, but I never use gcc to compile .d files (I did not know it will work
anyway :) ), so I do not see this as a big issue.
But I understand it could be an issue for somebody else and it will be an
issue when gdc will be officialy part of gcc.

Hmm I am not sure, but how long did you have this gdc package installed? It
seems I forgot to update .SRCINFO. There should be gdc-8.2.0-2 which has
2.081.1 d frontend.
I will fix this on monday, until than you can uninstall gdc and try to

I have tried it few days ago and it does not work for me at  first. Because
I always read only "Simple Example".
One of my problem was that I have a struct with little different name that
was attribute name used in
json (positions and types has been correct), but it does not work and the
error was really wierd so it took
me a while until I have found out what was wrong.

Other problem was with types when one json attribute can be a number or null

Re: Enum and Function Parameters Attributes -- No DIP Required

[Daniel Kozak via Digitalmars-d-announce]

DIP is an abbreviation for D Improvement Proposals, so in theory we should
have DIP for every bugfix (if I follow your logic), because it is an
improvment :D. No I do not agree with this. UDAs has been added before DIPs
and as original author said the definition of UDAs (
https://dlang.org/spec/attribute.html#UserDefinedAttribute) is lame (
https://forum.dlang.org/post/k7afq6$2832$1...@digitalmars.com).So I would say
we are talking about fixing implementation not a language change anyway.

On contrary I really hate that :D.
Because of this:

HTTP method Recognized prefixes
GET get, query
PUT set, put
POST add, create, post
DELETE remove, erase, delete
PATCH update, patch

I am calling vibed from PHP and I need to tweak my curl for every request
baceuse of this :D

 public function sendRequest($method, $params = []) {

$method = strtolower(preg_replace('/([^A-Z])([A-Z])/', "$1_$2",

$isGetRequestType = substr($method, 0, 3) == 'get';
$isPutRequestType = substr($method, 0, 3) == 'set';
$httpHeader = $isGetRequestType ? [] : ['Content-Type:
application/json'];
if ($this->sessionId) {
$httpHeader[] = "Cookie: vibe.session_id=" . $this->sessionId .
"; Path=/; HttpOnly";
}

if ($isGetRequestType) {
$url =
UrlBuilder::fromUrl($this->url)->appendPath(substr($method, 4));
$url->addParams($params);
$curl = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt_array($curl, [

} elseif ($isPutRequestType) {

$curl = curl_init($url);
$json = json_encode($params);

curl_setopt_array($curl, [

Re: State of D 2018 Survey

[Daniel Kozak via Digitalmars-d-announce]

Ok, I have same feeling, but after trying to fill this survey with one of
my colleague, I have find out that it takes "only" 15 minutes to complete.
But still I thing almost everyone from our field is OK with filling surveys
anyway.

D support for ChromeOS

Today I have added basic support for D language (ldc and dub) to 
chromebrew: https://github.com/skycocker/chromebrew/pull/1717


So if you have ChromeBook with Chrome OS (developer mode is 
needed for chromebrew), you can try it, if everything works ok 
for you.

Yeah, it speeds up development, but that doesn't help much if Mongo
swallows your data or messes up replication, or if your data by its nature
simply does not fit a document store well.
I've found Postgres to be very reliable and also very fast in the past, and
- in large part thanks to Vibe.d - I am using Mongo now in a test
deployment instead of it. I don't feel comfortable at all in continuing to
use it though, which is unfortunate, since the development speed with it is
quite high.

I don't understand what you mean. Will vibe-d:core be added as

So you need to have both, subConfiguration(s) and 
dependenc(y/ies) in the package recipe, for example:


name "foo"
dependency "vibe-d:web" version="~>0.8.0-beta"
// <- this would usually be the only dependency necessary,

subConfiguration "vibe-d:core" "vibe-core"


Still does not works, it always try to build vibe-d:core with 
libevent, only way how to avoid it, is to manualy remove all

Summary of these changes:

API overhauled for better safety, reliability and ease-of-use. 
Deprecated and replaced entire Command struct with better design. 
Better handling of null. Various bugs fixed and more rigorously tested.

For right now, the changes are in a separate fork, here:

The readme there has sample code and an overview of the new interface.

What does Ocean do?


From github repo:

Ocean is a general purpose library, compatible with both D1 and 
D2, with a focus on supporting the development of 
high-performance, real-time applications. This focus has led to 
several noteworthy design choices:


Ocean is not cross-platform. The only supported platform is Linux.
Ocean assumes a single-threaded environment. Fiber-based 
multi-tasking is favoured, internally.
Ocean aims to minimise use of the D garbage collector. GC collect 
cycles can be very disruptive to real-time applications, so Ocean 
favours a model of allocating resources once then reusing them, 
wherever possible.
Ocean began life as an extension of Tango, some elements of which 
were eventually merged into Ocean.

Re: Adventures in D Programming

[Daniel Kozak via Digitalmars-d-announce]

Dne 12.5.2016 v 23:08 Matthias Klumpp via Digitalmars-d-announce napsal(a):

First of all, that blogpost generated way more buzz than I expected - 
looks like D is highly interesting to people, which is great news :-)


To elaborate a bit more on the version incompatibilities thing: E.g. 
me as a new user reads about std.concurrency.Generator, wants to use 
it, and it turns out that the standard library doesn't contain it yet 
(in GDC). Same for std.experimental.logger.

Okay, means I can't use these.


This is something I do not like. It would be awesome if I could use new 
version of phobos (dub package for eg.) in a dmd, ldc or gdc. Having 
language which is so unstable so is almost impossible to use standard 
library with older frontend is really anoying.


Then, I wanted to use std.getopt - turns out the semantics have 
changed and new stuff has been added there too, which I can't use. 
Meh, if the docs would have at least told me that.


I knew it :). I end up with same problem with std.getopt. It was a 
reason for this post: 
http://forum.dlang.org/post/srhttrxrqawhspibd...@forum.dlang.org


std.getopt has been backward compatible but it was not forward 
compatible. So because there is only latest docs available you are 
doomed :(.


Then, I want to use D-YAML, which depends on std.stream. But 
std.stream is completely deprecated, with no clear path for me to see 
to replace it. That's really bad, and it also means I can't compile my 
code with making the use of deprecated stuff fail the compilation.


I am not sure what exactly this deprecation message say, but you 
definitely should not used std.stream at all in a first place ;-).


That was by far the most frustrating things I experienced in D. So 
ideally the docs would be split for different Phobos versions, that 
would already be a great help. 


Yes this would help a lot.
Then, when deprecating stuff, showing a thing that replaces it or the 
proper way to write code using it would also be really nice.
E.g. wile I welcome the deprecation of std.net.curl in principle 
(having to link against an external library in the standard lib is 
odd), announcing to drop it before any replacement which offers 
feature-parity is written is bad (sidenote: IMHO the advanced net 
stuff shouldn't be in the standard library, because it's harder to 
update in case of security updates and bad crypto).


It would actually be really awesome if Phobos wasn't tied to a 
compiler, and all D compilers which are standard-compliant could 
compile it. Then, one could assume that people have the most recent 
Phobos. But it looks like it will take a longer time to get there, if 
at all.


I hope it would not take so much time. This is really important if D 
want to succeed.


Another thing that I didn't mention in the blogpost, but which might 
be interesting is that D - unlike Rust and Go - doesn't have a way 
that lets developers do a shallow-dive into the language by giving 
practical examples.
For example, Go has the really awesome Go Tour[1] which lets you 
explore and learn the basic concepts of the language by example.
For me, going through the tour was enough to actually start writing Go 
code, and while it certainly isn't complete, it is a nice way to show 
off the language and give people a taste of how it looks like. Rust 
has something similar with its tutorial[2]. For D, I haven't found an 
"in a nutshell" tutorial, and needed to read a bit more documentation 
and employ my existing C/C++ knowledge in some cases.
Having something like the Go tour for D would IMHO be an wesome way to 
attract people to try D.
There is already http://tour.dlang.io, but I do not have yet time to try 
it so I can't speak about maturity and so on. Other problem is with 
complexity of D. I believe even I can write book about D, which make 
people able to write almost anything in D. But they will not be able to 
read all D code. Go is OTOH really easy language so you need book with 
around 200 pages to explain everything. But with D I am not sure that 
even 1000 of pages would be enough :(.


Cheers,
Matthias

This release brings some larger changes:

 - The library has been split up into sub packages: code, utils, data,
   http, mail, diet, mongodb, redis and web. This is an intermediate
   step to moving the individual packages out to separate repositories
   with independent version numbers.

 - A lot of work went into performance tuning. Single-core performance
   of the HTTP server is improved by about +50% and multi-core
   performance scales properly again after excessive lock contention
   sneaked in in one of the previous releases. The number of worker
   threads is now also properly determined on all systems (including
   multi-CPU), which should fix the numbers for multi-threaded
   benchmarks (an update to the TechEmpower benchmark suite is on the
   way).

 - The REST interface generator now supports modelling collections
with
   native D syntax using Collection!T. It also adds support for CORS.

 - The std.concurrency integration has been fixed and re-enabled - you
   can now use std.concurrency without worrying about blocking the
   event loop. In case of problems (std.concurrency doesn't support
   passing certain kinds of values), the old implementation can still
   be accessed as sendCompat/receiveCompat/...

 - Compiles on 2.066.0 up to 2.070.0. Note that this will be the last
   release that supports the 2.066.x frontend. The next release will
   require at least 2.067.0 or maybe even 2.068.0 (still TBD).
This may
   unfortunately rule out GDC for the time being.


Not a problem.  We may be on 2.068 sooner than you think (I know that 
2.067 has been in branch/PR forever ;-)

At this time DConf is over 20% sold out. That's only three

Wow, I need something like this 3 weeks ago, but I dont have time to
implement this myself, so I end up with phpMailer. Now I can switch my
little e-mailing system to Dlang. Thank you.

No, collection could not occure if we speaking about current D GC
implementation. So it safe to set pointer before addRoot.

It can be triggered by another thread.

Wrong:

ptr = somestack.pop();
someglobalptr = ptr;
// ptr register flushed
// collection triggered by other thread
// other thread allocated the same memory for some other object
addRoot(ptr);


Typo:


addRoot(someglobalptr);



Yes, now it seems possible :)

I am sorry, but this release is horrible. It is a first time when 
I am force to do nothing with my codebase. Everything works as 
expected. So there is definitely something wrong :).

 Please respond to this post with a comment starting with a single 
 Yes/No and optional explanation after that. Criteria you are 
 expected to evaluate as part of Yes:
 
 - is this functionality needed in Phobos
 - is basic design sound (some breaking changes are OK for 
 std.experimental but not full redesign)
 
 As usual, anyone can vote, but opinions of Phobos developers hold 
 more value.
 
 Voting ends in 2 weeks, on July 22.

Yes

Please fix description:

or remove info about frontend version completely


Btw.: Thank you for your work, it is really nice to have all D 
compilers a D tools in arch linux repository.

My first local version have final(bool), but after some thoughts I end up
with !final. It is little bit easier to implement and efficient.

I will probably implement all variants (final!bool, !final, final(bool),
default), if I have a enought spare time.
