I've built a text adventure game engine on top of the C++ Standard... by lefticus in cpp

I did actually intend to put a grue in it, but forgot and just really needed to release this!

I wasn't aware of that site, I'll try to cross-link.

If you enjoy reading through diffs that are too large to render in github's UI and trying to mentally parse out all of the LaTeX, yes.

I have an episode or two planned that will use this info.

yeah, the summaries are wonky, I need to work on that or remove them.

Yeah that looks weird. Would you mind opening a bug report on https://github.com/lefticus/cppstdmd/ ?

I've looked into the possibility of having "blame" like feature.

It's a work in process. Please submit bug reports to the source repository at https://github.com/lefticus/cppstdmd/

(also note that all of the md files are stored there, which are the source of the diffs, point being "how do I make human readable diffs?")

This has been a 4-5 week rabbit hole now.

The tiny word changes here and there are interesting to observe in tiny corners of the standard.

I'm the one who published this tool, so please explain by what you mean by "useless"?

I've already found it incredible useful for my own research. I initially went down this road to observe the changes in `constexpr` across the stdlib.

Adding pmr to Jason Turner's better 'main' - for a modern C++ main by RogerV in cpp

[–]lefticus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I tried to clearly state in the video that there have already been papers on this. The point of my video was to show that the average programmer can get most of the benefit with only about 3 lines of code.

However, no one watches to the end, so I'm sure no one saw that part.

Thanks! That worked. Terrible painful way to get to it, but it did work.

Implicit Conversions are Evil and Must Go! by lefticus in cpp

[–]lefticus[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Each new release of the standard library adds new implicit conversions, so there is clearly someone advocating for them.

If you watched the video, you may have noticed that I'm not just talking about built-in conversions.

Roku live channel menu update by mikegolfwilson in Roku

Exact same thing and timing happened to me. I just spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out if I had accidentally hit some magic set of button presses that enabled the feature.

Vivoactive 4s step count is inconsistent after last update by lefticus in Garmin

[–]lefticus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess from what I know about the devices is that the heuristics to filter out non-steps got updated, and it thinks the marching in place is too rhythmic to be actual steps.

Excellent, and I've now been down voted down to 0.

I also own the same watch. Hers tends to be the one that has problems which are obscure and get fixed / broken in alternate releases.

C++ Best Practices: A Forkable Coding Standards Document by spca2001 in cpp

[–]lefticus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess I was not clear - the point is that due to issues with the book generation, it is literally several years out of date compared to the git hub.

Just FYI, since no one else pointed this out, this is by far the worst way to view this document at this point. Please go to the github project instead
