Huh, that does sound like quite the grab bag of features. Think I'll have to find time to further investigate. Thanks for taking the time to elaborate!

The changes to std::string were made because "the [pre-C++11] definition of basic_string allows only very limited concurrent access to strings. Such limited concurrency will inhibi…

What favorite feature(s) do you miss when working in other languages?

Oh, that is certainly not what I was expecting at all. I stand corrected! I do have to wonder though - do you know what proportion of the C++ compiler time is spent parsing your ge…

Oh, true! That's on me for not being specific enough. I was thinking about the optimization pipeline.

> Not for C++ code generated by whole program optimizing compilers. I'd be quite surprised if an optimizing compiler generated C++ code somewhere in its pipeline!

At the time Herb made that comment GSL was documented as supporting XCode 12.5.1/13.2.1, GCC 10/11, Clang 11/12, and Visual Studio 2019/2022 using both MSVC/LLVM [0]. Even if MSVC …

I don't think Discord counts as a data broker under the act as it does not apply to entities with whom you have a "direct relationship"

To the extent that implementations promise, sure. But that is beyond the scope of the standard.

I think it's meant to be parsed as "I liked being able to (express (calling external libraries))", not "I liked being able to (express calling) (external libraries)"

There's always unspecified behavior if documentation is considered to be too onerous.

I think GP is referring to "Prompt Injection as Role Confusion" ( https://role-confusion.github.io/ ). It was discussed on HN several weeks ago ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?…
