CLion 2025.3 is out! Looks like they've done lots of useful improvements, but the most fun one is probably the constexpr debugger. Click next to any constexpr variable and step debug its compile time evaluation. Pretty cool!

PragProg is an awesome little publisher, it was great working with them on my book. Now all their books are 50% off! Including my C++ Brain Teasers, of course.

Now recruiting for C++ and Yocto in my team!

Squarehead is a great place to work, with a super friendly team, low overhead, focus on devex, and lots of interesting problems to solve. And the job is literally to make the world safer.

To get more clicks to their misinformation piece, they also write "Urgent alert issued to anyone who uses Gmail". But if you look at the source, Gmail or Google is not mentioned at all. haveibeenpwned.com/Breach/Synth...

A bunch of sites (not Gmail) have leaked passwords over the years. In April, someone pasted them all into one big document. Some people use the same password on multiple sites. These users are then vulnerable on all those sites. One famous site which is good to use to get clicks happens to be Gmail.

If by "they" you mean Gmail, it's because it didn't happen to Gmail. This article is click bait misrepresenting what actually happened.

Judging by the comments, this looks like misinformation. Don't click.
