1. Get a bunch of parts
2. Think of something to build
3. Build the thing / write the code
4. (I think this is where we make slides)
5. Give the conference talk
Again, is it possible to find some grownups to run the US government?

Unfortunately, in c++ they are infectious so that everything in the stack using a coroutine needs to be/handle coroutines. I'm not a fan of intrusive solutions.
04.08.2025 15:02 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Unpopular opinion: When coroutines were added to C++, every library example and conference talk slide used them for illustration. Now we have to wade through the coroutine cruft to understand the actual concepts. Authors seem to think this is a flex. Stop using coroutines when not needed.

<sarcasm>That can't be. The US ranked 23 in the happy people list last year. The top 10 are a bunch of European social democracies. There is no way that paying more tax makes you happier even if you have all of those amazing benefits. Just can't be true.</sarcasm>

They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory.
Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human.
Joy isnβt frivolous under fascism. Itβs strategic.
Safe travels! Enjoy the next adventure.
