- Replying to @JenniferJJacobs @nwadhams and @justinsinkI'm confused by this story. Was he escorted out for being a Russian spy or for not being a Russian spy?
- Replying to @maggieNYTTrump is no longer interesting. He was only interesting as President because it answered the question "what if the most unqualified person on Earth became president?"
- The hardest part of working on the C Standards Committee is finding someone who 1. knows why we did that 2. hasn't retired 3. is not dead
- The most repetitive cycle in computing is "let's decentralize" then "let's centralize" and then "let's decentralize again. The latest instantions of this are called "cloud" and "edge" computing. It's fun to literally be an old man yelling at clouds.
- Cool stuff that got into C23 this week: - nullptr - typed enumerations - improved normal enumerations - Comma omission and comma deletion - constexpr - auto - TIME_MONOTONIC - bit-precise bit-fields - relaxed requirements for variadic parameter lists - embed
- For such a simple language, C is quite complicated.
- I can now let you know that the Effective C, 2nd Edition is now available for preorder. This new edition has been completely updated for C23. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to tell you, but you can receive 25% off with coupon code PREORDER.
- Replying to @SwiftOnSecurityThere is only so much you can do with hardware. If you really want to slow things down, you need to do it in the software.
- How are you going to write the code for this elevator now that C++ no longer supports ones' complement?
- Replying to @SarahFairVT @AltHHS and @JoeBidenI'm a private citizen who supports Law Enforcement leaders who support @JoeBiden
