Several people have been announcing the news of the video being online, but it still isn’t :/

Thanks! I was just looking at TestDisk. If one doesn’t work I’ll try the other.

After a symlink accident, I’ve tried a whole bunch of data recovery software. The best one I’ve found was R-Studio. This was a while ago, though, but that’s my recommendation in case you were looking for one.

That’s overkill for me. The failure here was that I didn’t put my code in a private repo at github or bitbucket. Everything else of any value to me was backed up in one form or another. Even my ebooks.

You might be able to recover a good bit of it; I remember recovering all the files of a project, though a couple had been slightly corrupted in a fixable way.

No, not yet. I’ll definitely give it a try, though. I hate losing all that work.

For about 150 USD you can get a 1TB HDD and a stand alone sata disk copier device…

Shiiiiiiit

Have you attempted using one of those programs that tries to recover files from unallocated portions of the drive? That saved my ass a couple times.

Comment on Support for OpenGL 4.3 in Derelict 3 by Isak Andersson

Adding it to Derelict 2 seems a bit excessive. Reimplementing the GL loader stuff seems far more critical!

I don’t think there’s a need for any formal process. At least right now. I have no way to measure which packages aren’t being used, but if anything becomes obviously ignored, I’ll just pull it out. These days, I tend to focus on the packages I know people are using (GL, GLFW3, SDL2, for example) and try to keep those up to date peridoically. For the others, I do nothing until someone suggests an update or sends a pull request. That seems to be working just fine. I gripe about how I have to maintain everything because it could potentially become a hassle, but realistically it’s less work than I think it is.
