I honestly have no idea if it would be lots or none:

How many non swing states would be swing states if ALL eligible non-voters voted (in the same direction)

OK, well I set it to do nothing, that's helpful (but having it compile was not an option)

Can Ctrl-S in @compiler-explorer.com just compile instead of downloading.

Ever since the days of before MSVC was called MSVC, I learned to hit save whenever I paused for a moment and thought the code was reasonable (because the editor could crash at any time).

Ctrl-S means "that might work"

C++ help:

struct FooTag{};
using FooInt = StrongType<int, FooTag>;

using BarInt = StrongType<int, struct BarTag>;

ie "inline" forward declaration in second case.

I recall that Foo is better than Bar, but I don't remember why.
IIRC, because of some subtle change in ADL (it's always ADL).

Anyone?

Why is

std::expected

in the past tense?

They played against each other in 2010 and 2014.

I don't know, but

Wait I do know - same as all other C++ questions: it depends

ie if it is important, then measure it.

Anyhow what I was going to say is

I don't know, but a compiler developer told me "bigger than you think"

NDC Toronto 2026 | Conference for Software Developers NDC Toronto 2026 is a 4-Day Event for Software Developers, 5-8 May at The Westin Harbour Castle, Toronto.

Hey! If you are attending ndctoronto.com in early May 2026, I'll be hosting the Β«Generic Programming: from Strange to NormalΒ» class. It's a fun class where we start from almost nothing and get to the point where generic code is just code :)

A bar-headed goose (which is a type of goose, with a white head with a stripe or two on top), which makes it impossible to find an image of "goose with health bar above head"). Also there could be a "hard-headed" joke here somewhere, as Ian seems to be the stubborn don't give up easily type.

Yeah the bar above your head definitely got bigger. I saw it.

I think the implication is that "if only you had paid for premium, we could tell you who that recruiter was, and your life would finally be better; so sad".

I made a Bowie mix-tape for someone. 90min tape - longest you could buy. It didn't quite fit.
Kept redoing it with less gaps between songs.
Finally realized not every 90min tape is equal.
Found the longest one.
Tightened the gaps to minimum.
Perfect fit.
I doubt they appreciated it as much as I did.
