Adam Wilson, a past DConf speaker, has graciously accepted to be our guest speaker this month. Although he will present in-person, as usual, we will be live on Google Hangouts as well. I will post the link here right before we start at 7pm Pacific time. Come in-person at 6:30pm for food and drinks but plea^H^H^H^H RSVP so we know how much to order: https://www.meetup.com/D-Lang-Silicon-Valley/events/236253882/ Abstract: The Curse of Knowledge is a cognitive bias where a highly skilled person unknowingly assumes that others have the required background to understand a given topic. But what happens when a group of intelligent, like-minded, software engineers design a library? This talk will compare and contrast library designs with an emphasis on how we can use the power of D to improve the usability of our libraries. This exploration of library design will culminate in a discussion of how well designed libraries can be used to rapidly construct the services that businesses rely on and capture mind-share for D in the process.

Hopefully, with someone else in charge of A/V, we will have more luck.The failure of mine was the batteries on the wireless mike gave out about 14 minutes in, which is where the audio cut off. Nobody noticed until the video was reviewed. Next time, I plan on bringing my own batteries.

Even when there is sound, parts of the audio are pretty bad!! Nick
