Not saying I don’t get out much, but when the docs asked for payment today, my wallet was still full of Thai baht. Trying to remember the last time I flew?

📢 #CppIndiaCon 2022 - The C++ festival of India "The interface between a library and its users is a major design consideration for every developer, and has been evolving greatly over C++’s lifetime." 🎙Speaker: Inbal Levi 🙏Join us on 6th August 2022 at 9:30 AM IST #cppindia

The wording for the standard proposal is surprisingly small, given that this is such a *big* *deal*. One of the C++23 features most likely too have a long term impact. Thanks Stephan!

Incredible to see how Amazon 1. Started as an online book store 2. Became the world’s largest online book store 3. Became the world’s largest store 4. Now cannot be trusted to buy books because they’re fake ripoffs 5. Solution: don’t buy books off Amazon but go direct…

If you're running an in-person conference, I should find a link to your COVID policy on the front page of your website. Is there a mask mandate? Air filtration? How is air quality monitored? what contingencies are in place if a room becomes unsafe? Is there outdoor catering?

A reminder, should you need it, of ‘mubble-fubbles’ (16th century): vague, Sunday-eveningish blues and a slight sense of doom.

Logging off for a while to prepare for an ISO wg21 plenary. Hopefully we will be balloting a new C++ standard when I am back online :)

In today's ISO C++ committee plenary session, we voted some big and super-useful new standard library features into C++23: - std::generator - std::mdspan - std::flat_set - std::flat_map - std::print - import std;

This is so well done!

It’s that time! Too many depressing and discouraging messages, so I’m uninstalling and dropping Twitter for a while. Not sure if/when I’ll be back, depends on how well I adjust to a social media free world :). Account will remain, so I can pop back, but is not monitored.

Out of hibernation for one question. Are you aware of the Wdeprecated switch for Clang/gcc that diagnoses deprecations not reported by Wall Wextra? If this is new to you, does it flag up a lot of your code? Latest clang reports more than latest gcc.
