Learn how the overload pattern works for std::variant visitation and how it changed with C++20 and C++23. Now your head can hurt as well
VB called and wants the Variant back

Meh! Until this works perfectly, I'm not interested:
int main() {
return magic();
} That should create whatever program you want without any further input. Keep working, compiler writers!!!

And I thought the obfuscated C contest was bad.
Sorry this is a day late, was on PTO yesterday and didn't touch a computer all day. I wasn't sure that was posible.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

A spacecraft left behind by US astronauts on the lunar surface could be causing small tremors known as moonquakes, according to a new study. If the lunar lander is rocking, don't bother knocking

Interesting read. This also has implications for permanent human habitation on the Moon.

yeah right. A very long time ago, real intelligence came up with managing traffic in Atlanta. Downtown Atlanta and "events" - baseball, football, basketball, music festivals result in some very interesting traffic opportunities. So, some very smart people from GE Tech came up with an algorithm to maximize the outflow... controlling all the traffic lights.
Total gridlock. They neglected to understand that at some point humans will go elephant you and run the lights.
Humans are incorrigible. Beware the AI to change it so...

Not surprisingly, salary is the number one reason tech pros are quitting, but other factors include lack of career advancement and leadership and vision, according to new research from a U.K.-based recruitment firm. Mo' money?

it surprises me why we in the tech industry are so resilient to organizing. Not that I am advocating that, but most techies seem to be individualists.....

Perhaps it isn't as much resilience as apathy, or we're not really as unhappy as a whole as some studies and tech articles would conclude.

What we need is a global recession, or even better, a global depression, to restore the enthusiasm of "thank God I have a job." That'll fix the whining about lack of career advancement, leadership and vision.

Most software developers are not enthusiastic about the prospect of having their individual performance metrics monitored. As long as we also measure management usefulness

Quote: their individual performance Especially when nowadays the concept of individual performance is total fiction - we work in teams, depend upon each other to get things done, etc. Oh wait, management knows that, which is why bonuses are more and more becoming things associated with how well your team has done. There's quite a few articles on that, I'm just to lazy as an individual to provide a link to one of them for you. But the more interesting articles I've read about that recently point to the psychology of "team bonuses" - and the quite fascinating point that the concept works best when there is transparency regarding who is not performant.

When I read about that a few days ago, my first thought was, geez, another company wanting to make a buck off of someone else's work, then when I read the actual arrangements they were proposing, it seemed quite reasonable. My initial reaction changed to, "geez, get a spine. If you're making sh*tloads of money from an awesome free tool, yeah, give something back." That's my 2c, and I freely give 1c back to this amazing site, for the privilege to post my pointless points for free.

Microsoft AI researchers accidentally exposed tens of terabytes of sensitive data, including private keys and passwords, while publishing a storage bucket of open source training data on GitHub. Were they researching "what happens if you give the hackers a freebie?"

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
