Luca's meaningless thoughts  

Some time ago I wrote a partial patch to fix DMD's issue 3420:

Allow string import of files using subdirectories

const data = import("dir/data.txt");

Specifying -J. for DMD 1.041 is sufficient to allow this to compile.

I couldn't find an option for DMD 1.042 and newer which would allow this to compile.

It's a partial patch because it's implemented only for Posix OSs. The patch passed unnoticed until changeset 389, when the restrictions on string imports became even more evident, and I commented the issue in the DMD internals ML. Fortunately Walter accepted the patch; well accept might be a very strong word, since Walter never really accepts a patch, he always write a new patch based on the submitted one, don't even dream on getting some feedback about it.

But well, that's how he works. At least now in Posix (he said he didn't find a way to do this in Windows) there are no silly restrictions on string imports, without sacrificing security =)

This is mostly a reminder to myself, since I'm throwing away the blister and I want to be able to identify this little gadget in case I have to buy another one in the future.

The is a very cheap USB Bluetooth adapter. It's made in China and don't even have a brand name, the blister just says Bluetooth USB Adapter ES-388. Linux report it as:

Bus 004 Device 003: ID 1131:1001 Integrated System Solution Corp. KY-BT100
Bluetooth Adapter

And it works very well using a stock Linux kernel; just plug it and enjoy!

Here is what the blister looks like:

In Argentina you can buy it for as low as ARS 10 (USD 3) so I guess in another coutries they are practically given away for free =P
