digitalmars.D - What's the deal with http://dconf.org/2015/talks/zvibel.pdf?

world-unreadable.

Attributes and owner are fine on my github dir. We use rsync.

Does any other contributor update dconf.org and has the wrong 
attributes? Could there be something more odd at work?

I just clicked and downloaded it. No problems.

forward to the official video. :)

It works fine for me too, though glancing around online about 
file permissions in github, I'm seeing really mixed messages on 
what happens with them. So, maybe there's some github-specific 
weirdness.

Or, git-specific weirdness rather. I'm so used to saying github 
that I sometimes end up saying it instead of git. :|

Though I suppose that there could be something weird going on 
with github too.

Why is this? AFAIK Git only allows 644 and 755 permissions for 
files (i.e. executable or not). I doubt Git is to blame here.

I don't know. As I said, searching for info on file permissions 
in git quickly turned up stuff that seemed contradictory with 
regards to whether git retained file permissions or not and how 
to deal with them. I didn't dig deeply.

rsync is in the mix as well. Anyhow, for now (after I deleted and 
rsync'ed it again) the file seems to have stayed readable. -- Andrei

Works for me.

A few things from the slide:

"Developing in D for over a year:

Getting	a huge productivity boost"

I second that. With D programming is not just a chore, it 
actually makes you want to do things. It's not the same for-loop 
all over again ;)

"We have a lot of library/utility functions we can donate"

Please do. Input/code/findings from people who use D in real life 
scenarios is priceless.
