digitalmars.D - DConf 2014 talks slides

I'm catching up on some Dconf 2014 videos (great job, guys!) and 
wondering whether the associated slides will be put on the 
website somewhere. There are some where I'd like to ponder the 
code and ideas. It's not easy to do that on a stopped Youtube 
stream :)

I know some links have been provided in the associated threads, 
but did all speakers give their slides to Andrei & co?


Alt question: Ali, what did you use to make your slides? I quite 
like the look of them and of the highlighted code.

(The ability to cram 26 slides in 10 minutes is a nice bonus)

We need a lieutenant responsible for dconf.org (e.g. add links to all 
videos and slides). Volunteers?

I found that most of the videos are already linked (at least the
archive.org ones), except this one:

The day 2 links just had stubs.  I added day 2 links via the 
gihub web editor.

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dconf.org/pull/28

If it gets pulled, I'll do day 3 as well.

Please do, I think you did a far better job than I did. :)

I've added the Day 3 links:

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dconf.org/pull/29

I noticed the YouTube videos on Andrei's channel have far more 
views than those on Dicebot's channel.  If publicity is what 
you're after, it might be profitable to x-post on Andrei's 
channel.

I start with what I use for "Programming in D": Almost the same ddoc and 
css files:

   https://code.google.com/p/ddili/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fsrc

I use ddoc to create each slide as an HTML page. Then, I use 'prince' to 
generate a pdf from those HTML pages, which uses the same fonts under 
the 'fonts' directory at the link above. Everything is managed by a make 
file.

Unfortunately, my slides are not under any version control system so I 
better send you a tar file than contains everything.

  While we're on the topic of slides and it's slightly related, 
Walter Bright brought up an example of code that showed poor 
optimization that the compiler should be doing. Like using bit 
shifts to do multiply/divide by a power of 2.

  i/8  vs  i>>3
  i*8  vs  i<<3

  Is there resource of similar optimizations both as informational 
and things to avoid since it unintentionally obfuscates and makes 
the compiler's job harder? I know there was a page on low level 
optimizations and how to write code so the compiler made simpler 
better code on it's preferred types, but off hand i can't find 
it...

Note that for signed types, the two are not the same.
i/8 rounds towards 0, while i>>3 rounds towards min:

static assert(-1/8==0);
static assert(-1>>3==-1);

  So many times i've found i hate signed types, especially when 
working with bit manipulation or encryption or something, so i'd 
usually use unsigned types.
