October 21, 2017 Silicon Valley D Meetup - October 26, 2017 - "D Fibers" by Ali Çehreli | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
[We're at a very convenient location again this time: Downtown Mountain View.] https://www.meetup.com/D-Lang-Silicon-Valley/events/243120102/ D Fibers Ali will present a shorter version of his DConf 2016 talk: http://dconf.org/2016/talks/cehreli.html D's fibers (coroutines in other languages) are not a part of the language but a feature implemented by the D runtime. This talk should be fairly accessible to new programmers even without a CS background as it will explain the function call stack as well as context registers, concepts necessary to understand how fibers are useful at all. As always, bring all other D questions and comments... Ali Çehreli has been working with C, C++, and D in Silicon Valley since 1996. He is the author of the book "Programming in D", a board member of The D Language Foundation, and an organizer of DLang and ACCU meetup groups in Silicon Valley. Ali |

The audio was on and off, with about 50% success rate. We fixed it by powering down one of the fancy microphone thingies. To repeat, in my experience, recording meetings is not a solved problem yet. :) Ali |

Might I suggest a backup mechanism, just in case the "fancy equipment" doesn't work. Something as simple as setting up a smart phone or camcorder. If it's needed, then you at least have the video/audio.
I've used google hangouts to broadcast/record all our Boston meetings and haven't had a problem yet. And as you will see next Sunday, we don't have any special equipment! The quality is super-low, but low-quality is better than not recording :)
Even if you just have audio, you can later "re-play" the slideshow to match what was being said so people can follow along. The audio dialog, especially for questions, is what I think most people are interested in.

Nice. I won't be there, but I really liked the talk about multitasking you gave at DConf 2016. I never heard of coroutines before it, so it pretty much blew my mind how easily you can iterate on several trees (simultaneously) with them.
