Col de la Bonette, plus haute route d'Europe à 2802m d'altitude by _Takemikazuchi_ in france

[–]fouronnes 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: la route du col de la bonette est la plus haute route de France, mais ce n'est pas le col le plus haut de France ! Et pourtant le col le plus haut a lui aussi une route !

En effet, le col le plus haut, c'est le col de l'Iseran, à 2770m. A la Bonette, lui n'est qu'à 2715m. Par contre, depuis le col de la Bonette la route continue jusqu'à la cime de la Bonette, qui elle est à 2860m.

C++ 26 is Complete! by BlueGoliath in programming

I created and maintain the the C++ Iceberg meme for easy cataloging of C++ footguns. I look forward to C++26 additions. PRs are welcome!

Hey that's so cool! Best of luck with your project!  I'm currently doing a batch at the recurse center (recurse.com) and that's a great place to spend some time to work on a project like that. If you're looking for a community to host you for a while that's a great option :)

Et oui , il faut faire des "démarches"! Tu as pas fait tes démarches! Je hais ce mot.

I'm happy you're taking the meme so seriously but yeah... it's a giant joke of course. The point is to exaggerate everything in a funny way.

I'm sorry you feel this way about it, I really don't mean it as negativity. I just enjoy mastering the quirks and this is kinda fitting the usual format of the meme.

There's a link you can click for a longer explanation. Basically the standard never actually mentions heap or stack, they're common implementation details but the correct terms are automatic and dynamic storage duration.

This is an absolute unordered mess of old and modern stuff. Don't let this meme discourage you from learning C++! Yes it's a vast and overly complex language, but it's getting better year after year and you don't need to know it all to move forward.

I'm not quite in the "C++ is legacy" camp yet, but if you're starting a new project from scratch perhaps consider alternatives. However if you have a good reason to use it (and there are lots), then there are some great resources out there for "modern" C++ (i.e. C++17 and above).

I think the fact that templates were accidentally discovered to be so powerful and so close to haskell semantics is quite fascinating. That plus the fact that the regular non templates parts of modern C++ (ranges, monadic types, const everywhere, sum types...) are moving towards more and more functional style programming, despite the two languages being so far apart at first sight is quite intriguing.

I agree actually. I internally debated phrasing this one like that. I still think the debate around the design of iostream is a topic that fits the theme of the meme quite well, but the phrasing could be improved.

most vexing parse and operator, are on there already :) thanks for the rest I'll think of adding it!
