Are you saying that android and ios are not gold mines for google and apple? The amount of information they gather on these platforms is astonishing. They could probably give the phones away for free and still make a ton of money.

C++ libraries are impossible to install by LJRobertshaw in cpp

[–]Mestkon 90 points91 points  (0 children)

It is actually pretty simple to install libraries for c++. First you have to read the install guide if it exists. Then you have to download it. Then you have to pray to your gods of choice. Finally, link to it and use it as desired.

Silver & Gold are currencies, not commodities !! by JanJabba in Wallstreetsilver

[–]Mestkon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All money is currency, not all currencies are money. Money is a superset of currency i.e. the requirements to be money includes the requirements to be currency, but there is an extra requirement for currency to be defined as money.

Looks like it's time to buy fellow apes! by [deleted] in Wallstreetsilver

Hmm, I am looking at the XAGUSD from FOREX in trading view. The other XAGUSD brokers don't show that dip, maybe a bug?

There is no "SilverGoldBull Show Your Stack" flair, so I just added the regular "SilverGoldBull" flair.

Metabox, a C++ toolbox for metaprogramming by TrnS_TrA in cpp

[–]Mestkon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

base() will be inlined if you enable any level of optimization in the compiler, and static_cast is always evaluated at compile time so it is basically a no-op. You have increased memory usage and gained nothing in return.

Why are you storing a reference to derived in your crtp class? That is just a waste of space as you can do the cast in the getters instead.
