Feels like I'm loosing my tolerance for this. LOL

Samuel L. Jackson looking like a million bucks with a suit with subtitle "Write ISO C++ Paper". The same actor looking a bit crazy and disheveled with a tank top with subtitle "Discuss in committee". Implication is that you feel good writing a fantastic paper, but the relentless and unfriendly critiques one gets in committee puts one in survival mode.

Beman Project Introduction Online | The Beman Project David Sankel’s talk on Beman at 2024 CppCon is now online!

77.8% of those polled consider memory safety to be either important or essential in their future use of C++.

The #1 concern about C++'s future is excessive language complexity, followed by lack of progress on memory safety. This last section is interesting to read in its entirety.

Conan adoption increased to 23% from 19% where Vcpkg adoption has remained relatively stable at 20% (from 19%).

Bazel usage has dropped to 5.7% from 10% and CMake adoption has increased slightly (84.2% from 83.2%).🧵

My observations on the isocpp survey results:

7.9% of respondents said "Interop with memory-safe languages (e.g., Rust, Go, C#, Java)" is a tool relied on for managing code safety in C++.

20% of respondents said Rust is used in their current and recent projects, up from 18.37% last year.🧵

With brave men, there is always a remedy for oppression.

A man marked "you" standing in front of a billboard with photographs of Hitler and an ally. The billboard states "What have you done today to help save your country from them?"

At root of Dr. Seuss's cartoons was a call to action that ultimately awakened America's sense of justice and heroism. Dr. Seuss is a patriot worth remembering and worth emulating.

Lindbergh, an isolationist, pats a Hitler monster stating "'Tis Roosevelt, Not Hitler, that the World Should Really Fear."

Punches were not pulled for those who downplayed the dangers of inaction. 🧵

A man passing out ostrich asks to people who then bury their heads in the sand. The advertisement says "Ostrich Bonnet Here Relieves Hitler Headache. Forget the terrible news you've read. Your mind's at ease in an ostrich head!". The bi-line is "We Always Were Suckers for Ridiculous Hats..."

Getting Americans to internalize and act upon the unbelievable truth was a recurring theme of his cartoons. 🧵

Hitler and an ally singing "Only God can make a tree To furnish sport for you and me!". Behind them are several trees with jews being hung by the neck.

Although the full extent of the holocaust's atrocities wasn't known until the war's end, this cartoon, published three years earlier, reflected the emergence of reports. 🧵

A small person passing out lolipops on an island wearing a shirt that says "the appeaser". He is surrounded by ominous beasts bearing swasticas. The text over the top says "Remember...One More Lollypop, and Then You All Go Home!".

The famous children's book writer said of his political cartoons, "I had no great causes or interest in social issues until Hitler..." 🧵

A woman happily reading "Adolf the Wolf" to frightened children. Above the image is written "...and the Wolf chewed up the children and spit out their bones . . . But those were Foreign Children and it really didn't matter."

Regular Americans stand up for what is right when the need arises. Dr. Seuss is one of those. 🧵

I'm scared, but I believe deep down that the US is a brave country willing to defend human rights against tyranny. We must awaken the values instilled in our history and families. Our conscious demands this of us.

Such a poor version of the chart of this topic that's become a cult classic

In case you missed it, we are pleased to announce our 1st Keynote for this year's conference!

Don't really do the "TheOneYouWantToHire" thing. It's a bit cringe for most hiring managers IMO :-D

I'm surprised they defunded the Small Business Administration (SBA). That's a pretty popular program.

I haven't found anything suggesting tax cuts so far, but I've heard pundits imply that this bill includes tax cuts for the rich. If anyone has insights I'd be curious.

IX. 1908
- substituting “$0” for “$107,834,000”
- Ends program for "carrying out Demonstration and Pilot projects ... such funds may be used for projects that are related to the employment and training needs of dislocated workers, other adults, or youth."

- (3) In section 542, by substituting “$0” for “$116,541,000”.
- Ends "Small Business Administration—Salaries and Expenses"

Title VI
- (1) In section 204, by substituting “$0” for “$13,045,000”.
- Ends "Office of National Drug Control Policy, Salaries and Expenses"
- (2) In section 530, by substituting “$0” for “$38,414,000”.
- Ends "National Historical Publications and Records Commission Grants Program"

I'm trying to make sense of the bill that just got passed in the Senate.

www.congress.gov/119/bills/hr... is the text and it applies to this document: www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PL...

Here are some of my findings so far...

Cool!

Interesting. What do Norwegians think is out of control that specifically relates to Texas?

Geopolitics are in a really bad place. I was hopeful my boys would avoid the terror of a draft, but with all the spiraling escalations, I see darkness ahead.

Which branches would you prune?

This hits the nail on the head. In the Boost community I encountered a particularly toxic narcissist who also had strange requests for thanks. When people aren't saying "thanks" it threatens the self-delusion of being some kind of hero.

Easily my favorite C++ conference. Hope to see many of you there!

Congrats! I'm looking forward to seeing this.
