Re: forum.dlang.org is now using DCaptcha
I removed all the harder challenges, so y'all can now stop complaining. Sorry. There are now only 2 simple questions. Pull requests welcome.

I couldn't answer a single question: What is the name of the D language syntax feature illustrated in the following fragment of D code? string a = x5095 f9 95d723c2; Seems like hex to me What is the name of the D language syntax feature illustrated in the following fragment of D code? /+ t = w * g; /+ t = 47; +/ +/ Those look like comments to me The test doesn't differentiate between human and robot. It tries to differentiate between human wanting to learn D and one not wanting.

Enter DCaptcha
I think this could work with just two or three variants of a
question. Always ask what's the return value of the function.
1. int foo() { return 8 % 3; }
I don't think non-programmers know what that '%' symbol is, but
programmers of any language would recognize this.
2. int foo() { int x = 8; x++; x++; return x; }
I don't think non-programmers would guess ++ is increment, but
programmers most probably know it.
These are very similar to two of the existing challenges.
3. bool foo() { return 42 != 30 };
I don't think non-programmers know what != is.
This one has the issue that it can have only two possible
answers. Should one spammer learn that true is a possible
answer, they can have 50% success solving this question.
(Probably not an issue in practice, considering there are other
challenges, though).

I added the question how many bits are in a byte?, and the spam vanished. Based on that experience, I think the bar can be set very low. The Wiki had a similar question before DCaptcha. Got spammed.

It's very unlikely that a non-tagged version build fails. Sometimes , a commit is followed by another one with the message fix the linux version. It's because I push on Win, I reboot on a linux setup, I pull and I test... Auto completion works finely! To be honest: I'd use mono if the linux version would be a clean thing... To be honest, Coedit wouldn't exist if Mono-Dev was as cross-platform as it claims to be.
