It does. Otherwise you could bypass HTTPS entirely by replacing 
the redirect page with a non-encrypted copy of the dlang website 
with whatever modifications you like.

DConf 2016 news: 20% sold out, book signing

[Andrei Alexandrescu via Digitalmars-d-announce]

We're over 20% full and seats are going fast!

We planned to send an announcement when we're 50% sold out. However, 
this time around registrations are coming quite a bit quicker than 
before so we thought we'd keep you posted earlier.


At this time DConf is over 20% sold out. That's only three weeks after 
opening early bird registration and without having announced the 
program. (Which, of course, will be great.) The point here is, if you're 
considering going to DConf, you may want to secure your early bird 
registration now at http://dconf.org/2016/registration.html.


On another vein, we're pleased to announce a book signing session by D 
book authors. Kai Nacke, Mike Parker, Ali Çehreli, and Andrei 
Alexandrescu will sign their respective books. Bring your copy (it 
better be dog-eared) or buy one on site (limited quantities available). 
Details forthcoming.


Looking forward to seeing you at DConf!


Andrei

Well, only if you're trying to protect against MITM attacks. If you're 
only worried about people packet sniffing, you can redirect from an 
unencrypted page without a care.

In a situation like this, where approximately no sensitive information is 
going back and forth, MITM isn't much of a concern (and packet sniffing 
isn't, either, for the most part, except if you're logging in with a 
password you reuse elsewhere).

This is the first release with a self-hosted dmd compiler and 
comes with even more rangified phobos functions, 
std.experimental.allocator, and many other improvements.


See the changelog for more details.

Seems like memory usage went up by a significant amount, as I 
can no longer compile our project on my Windows machine.


DMD 2.068.2 uses up to 1100MB of memory during our build and 
succeeds
DMD 2.069 used up to 1600MB of memory before crashing with 
"Error: out of memory"


Are there any plans to release a dmd64.exe?

So, at a first glance it looks like a deeper problem that just a 
"higher memory consumption" issue, to me. I'm a bit frustrated, 
this was working so well so far...



auto r=ctRegex!(
`\s*(?:`
~   `(?P#.*)|`
~   
`(?:@prefix\s+(?P\pL+):\s+<(?P[^<>\s]+)>\s*\.\s*)|`
~   
`(?:(_|\pL+):((?:\pL|[\.\-_0-9])*(?:\pL|\d))\s+(\pL+):((?:\pL|[\.\-_0-9])*(?:\pL|\d))\s+`

~ `(?:(?:(_|\pL+):((?:\pL|[\.\-_0-9])*(?:\pL|\d)))|`
~ 
`(?:(?:(?:"{3}(?P.*)"{3})|(?:"(?P.*)"))`

~   `(?:`
~   
`(?:@(?P[A-Za-z]+(?:\-[A-Za-z0-9]+)*))|`
~   
`(?:\^\^(?P\pL+):(?P\w+))`

~   `)?`
~   `)`
~   `)\s*`
~   `\.\s*)`

);

Thank you for any help beyond splitting down the regex above (any 
magic memory-oriented option somewhere?) ...

That is exactly what Andrew Edwards used to want to do. I

Yeah, he and I had a some discussions about that starting back at 
DConf 2013. The last I talked to him about it was shortly after I 
started working on the book. I promised him I'd contribute a 
tutorial series on a simple text-based game. Haven't heard from 
him since then.

Will you have time to join us?

  http://www.meetup.com/D-Lang-Silicon-Valley/events/226112281/

If you would like to present something, perhaps as a warm-up 
for your DConf talk ;), just let me know and I will add you to 
the agenda.


I wish I could! I'm currently scheduled to fly out of Korea on 
the 18th, though I may have to push it back a few days (can't 
miss Christmas -- haven't been home for it since '93). And even 
if I could fly out a couple days earlier, I wouldn't. The new 
Star Wars opens in Korea on the 17th and I've already got my 
reservations! Korean cinemas are much more civilized than those 
in the States -- assigned seats and crowds that aren't screaming 
and shouting. The last night of Dconf 2013 I saw Iron Man 3 in a 
crowded cinema in Mountain View and swore I'd never do it again. 
There's no way I'm going to even bother trying to watch Star Wars 
in the States. All these years in Korea have got me spoiled.



At the least, I want my book signed! :)



Ditto! We'll have to swap copies in Berlin :)
