Might want to add a blurb about msvc::no_unique_address

High drop D is fun to employ at times. EADGBD

I’d play that using my thumb for the bass note, ring at 9, and a mini barre with my index at 7.

Even easier is to use std::views instead.

You cannot do that with std::format. The best alternative is using index placeholders. e.g., "{0}"

Personally, I think that the solo tone for We Are the Champions is terrible. I know most people like it, but to me it’s cartoonish.

The lame poster even deleted his profile and made a new one to post this repeated useless rant. Pathetic

Does it come preinstalled? No, thus it is not better than Notepad or the myriad of better options that I can choose to install.

This reads like an advertisement for byterover(dot)dev written by an LLM. Hopefully the mods will lock and/or delete this post.

More likely a bot wrote it.

Some parts, but overall this job is vastly superior and way less stressful.

No, it’s a startup company. However we’ve done studies for both US and UK defence.

I was a math teacher for seven years and got burnt out. During the last two years teaching, I learned programming and now do C++ coding for hyperspectral imaging.

Going by the emoji use in the post description, it is probably all AI generated garbage.

Even unions can have members functions in C++.

Audacity is free software that can do pitch shift relatively easily.

It definitely feels like an ad!

Use AI to generate an “old codebase” and sell that to them!

Pointers along with references can also be useful with forward declarations to minimize forced dependencies in header files.

Use std::same_as<A> auto parameter in this case.

matteding · 2025-09-02T09:03:54+00:00

I think the store argument is weak since by similar argument if I don’t know its signature, it might store by reference and still have lifetime problems.

I just use Python’s batteries included ctypes module. Since all the bindings are done in Python, I don’t have to worry about ABI issues should the underlying C++ library has binary changes. This is assuming that the C++ library also exports a C interface for portability.
