When people respond in negative ways on my blog, I always struggle with where the line is when to just delete it.

I can take that people have other viewpoints and might not like me or my blog posts. Some comments are just... weird.

stdin/stdout/stderr should be exported from the std module as non-macros. Someone please write a paper.

Developer: How do I take an address of an object?
C++ committee: easy, just include these 23 kLOC and use this function.

Did you know that the difference between the 2-clause and the 3-clause BDSM license is that the latter includes a safe word?

GitHub's markdown support is a garbage fire.

vitaut,
@vitaut@mastodon.social avatar

@foonathan Not really, it handles newlines differently in releases and other places.

@vitaut@mastodon.social avatar

@foonathan I switched changelog to markdown so that I didn't have to do a conversion and it turned out that releases uses an incompatible syntax so I have to do conversion anyway.

@DanielaKEngert @foonathan Exactly

@veronica @foonathan Wow, and there are tons of threads complaining about it with zero responses from github folks.

OMG, The Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) C++ Coding Standard. I am totally adopting it just because of the name.

@vitaut@mastodon.social avatar

Not bad? (esp considering that they seem to have included tests for some reason)

vitaut,
@vitaut@mastodon.social avatar

Now that's an unfortunate metric considering that one of the major safety features in {fmt} (compile-time checks) depends on implicit casts =D

@jamesh @shafik if n is a constant expression this is not a VLA, no?
