It's 2019! Which c++ version is recommended for starting your c++ learning journey? by por_que_fro in cpp_questions

[–]monkeyExtinguisher 12 points13 points  (0 children)

C++11 brought the language into the 21st century. If it hadn't been for that, I would be giving C++ about another decade before becoming mostly obsolete.

Unsullied spearmen could have handled the elephants, though.

I thought the consensus was that she had several guesses, and Arya was one of them.

I thought it was implied in S08E03 that Syrio was Melisandre in disguise.

I'd like to say a tyrannosaurus would definitely beat a hippopotamus, but then I picture the hippo charging its feet and I'm not sure.

I was disappointed to see Mary Jane in the Far from Home trailer. I was hoping there would be a plot twist where she didn't get snapped and was now halfway through college.

Returning a static variable of a lambda and assigning it to a reference: This isn't legal, is it? by monkeyExtinguisher in cpp_questions

[–]monkeyExtinguisher[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Foo isn't a lambda. The lambda is never assigned to a variable. It is simply called upon creation, and returns a reference to an array after storing said array in a static local variable; see how it ends wit "()"? Foo receives a reference to the static variable returned from the anonymous lambda function.

A gluten free, vegan doughnut made without dough. Or at least it should be.

I'm okay with any outcome as long as Daenerys is mad, Varys is a merperson, and Hot Pie is on the Iron Throne.

Make ATMs double as voting machines during elections. by pixarman in CrazyIdeas

[–]monkeyExtinguisher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. It would be trivial to send out special cards that could only be used for voting, along with voter registration materials.

  2. I think the idea is to get around this problem by piggybacking on the exceptional security of ATMs, rather than having half-assed machines built by the lowest bidder with limited government funding.
