To show that it's far from reality so people don't get confused mixing fiction with reality? It's not about deafening the viewer, it's about the costs. The sound is prepared for theatres with lots of HQ hardware and for 5.1 sound at minimum. The voice goes mostly to the central channel, effects on sides. When you have a 5.1 setup, you can turn the volume up on the central and down on sides and you will get reasonably sounding movies. However, nobody in the industry wants to spend money on converting the audio from 5.1 to 2, so it's usually left up to a player and it ends how you describe it. Also ripped movies suffer from these problems a lot. Martin

It's the downside of separating the release and the announcement of the release -- loss of control.

vibe.d 0.7.20 has been released
Lot's of smaller improvements in this release, please have a look at the full change log. Some notable points: - Various additions to the web framework package [1], including compile-time localization support - New graph based (DFA) match algorithm for the URLRouter, making match performance independent of the number of registered routes - Incoming SSL connections by default now use perfect forward secrecy on all major browsers - Several improvements to the serialization system (new @asArray annotation, support custom serialization representations and more) - Reduction of memory allocations in several places The full list of changes/fixes can be found at http://vibed.org/blog/posts/vibe-release-0.7.20 Homepage: http://vibed.org/ DUB package: http://code.dlang.org/packages/vibe-d GitHub: https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/vibe.d [1]: http://vibed.org/docs#web-interface-generator

I worked with OLAP data for a year and it was all Java and JavaScript programming. I had been thinking about how you could improve on either with compile time features in D for massive improvements in speed. This is a market where customers care about speed, and beating your competitors can be worth millions. It's nice to see that someone has done some work in this area.

I didn't see it when streaming, so thanks for sharing. It's touchy mainly because it brought some memories back. I was running my own business (soon after finishing uni) and got into the data processing world after taking some inquiry. Funny thing is it's all started when I was asked to create some *excel* stuff dealing with a gov data. I quickly moved to PHP wagon as it was mainstream that days. After I figure out I was betrayed by PHP euphoria I started to look for the perfect programming language. Then I saw D and I knew it was it. Unfortunately my business didn't pay my bills already at that time, so I had to say sorry to C++ and live with it (full time job). Now I make a living from C++ (quasi embedded), but D is my number one as the language of choice, so I plan to reopen my business again this time with D from the beginning. Time will tell :) BTW. As as GUI dependant guy I still consider debugging as Achilles heel of D (as referred in the talk to some extent, i.e. stack traces, mangling etc). My programming language path (only languages included with more than 10k LOC written as I dealt with Python, Java, Matlab, Visual Basic and other crap) 1. Pascal (high school) 2. C++ (high school and uni) 3. PHP (late years of uni) 4. PHP (own business) 5. PHP + D (closing my business) 5. C++ (a regular job) 6. D (the future ;)) Piotrek

And quite an interesting piece of software you built there. Thanks also for sharing the slides: it's fun to see that much templated code in a presentation and it's nice to be able to pore over some of it.
