A pile of electronic parts on breakout boards from SparkFun.

A pile of electronic parts on breakout boards from SparkFun.

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?

I'm failing to find the perfect JF style punny answer. They are appropriate when your concurrency implementation is easily cooperative. 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.

Unpopular 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.

I _love_ being a grandparent! Three grandkids have been at the house all week. Best thing in the whole world. I've seen plenty of bad Boomer grands. Was the article all about nostalgia of grandparents on farms?

Last week I was talking to a hardware (silicon) architect and he was excited to have heard you on the show. He knew your name from CE.

You know the code I just reviewed is the darkest of dark magics not just by the preprocessor incantations but it also calls into C23 operators `__typeof__`.

I'm an electrical engineer by schooling. Each time I learn some new mathematical concept by someone at a programming conference it expands my word and how I approach design, problem solving, and implementations.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Proof assistants sound great. Also assistants to write my cmake files and work around this week's ICE.

I read this wrong at first (likely because of the awful timeline I have). "Send threats".

I thought, hmmm I've never considered threatening the CI but if it works for Sy I should maybe give it a try.

<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>

The other thing that happens are people who seem to know me but I don't think I've met them. After a bit of conversation, I realize they have seen me at a conference or in a YouTube video. It throws me every time.

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joyβ€”they protected it.

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 isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

"If one were curious enough to dive into the great abyss that many are only brave enough to screech into, one might find a very lonely monster whose very presence brings madness to the minds of men. One might also find the DearImGui Documentation. Perhaps they could be friends."
