Deducing this (P0847) is a C++23 feature which gives a new way of specifying non-static member functions. *squints* *scratches head* *reads again* Okaaaaaayyyyy?

I'm wondering why they keep inventing new things to stick in the language? Are there really that many edge cases that need a new feature to handle?
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.

Quote: The reasons for allowing this may not seem immediately obvious, but a bunch of additional features fall out of this almost by magic. These include de-quadruplication of code, recursive lambdas, passing this by value, and a version of the CRTP which doesn’t require the base class to be templated on the derived class.
Edge cases for pedants, though I'm being a bit unfair. I've found no compelling use cases (in my code) for recursive lambdas, passing this by value, or the CRTP, but that doesn't mean there aren't systems that can make effective use of these. That said, <thread> is still for toy systems; and they only recently got around to implementing <stacktrace>, still don't support sockets, and seem to have given up on integrating SIGSEGV and the like with exception handling. They seem to have lots of experience with things like the STL but not that much with serious systems.

Imagine this scenario: you’ve built a new tool or service for software developers and engineers. Now you’re faced with a dilemma: what’s the best way to get it out into the world? "One potato, two potato, three potato, four..."
Or potato, however you prefer to pronounce it.

Not the point of the article, but my criteria is:
1. The least # of tools possible yet maximizing the benefit of the ones I choose. So pretty much, Notepad++, IrfanView, Visual Studio, SSMS, WinSCP, Filezilla, and if I have to VS Code. And I avoid 99% of open source tools like the plague.
2. Apps - I guess I listed apps above, lol, but apps are tools. And again, avoid open source apps unless they are proven - viewed as an industry standard, long life, and does exactly what I need. Same with tools.
And to the point of the article, I don't write tools for the general coding public - I don't have the infrastructure in place for support, maintenances, dealing with bug reports and feature requests. Blech.
I write "ideas" and people can take them or leave them.

DORA metrics have become the de facto standard for measuring software development and delivery success, but a study last month identifies where those measures alone were lacking. "Let's go, jump in! ¡Vámonos! You can lead the way, hey, hey"

Elite engineering teams are, by definition, very rare. Only a few will consciously decide to hire top-notch talent. They must then know how to find it, screen it, and be willing to pay for it. With rare exceptions, every shop of more than size epsilon will be average.

As the Kotlin community and ecosystem are expanding – and the demand for Kotlin developers is on the rise – we’re looking to equip computer science educators with the relevant tools and up-to-date resources necessary to meet this need. I would imagine it might also work to learn Kotlin

FTC v. Microsoft is over, and the judge has decided to deny the FTC’s preliminary injunction request. "The game is afoot!"

Yep, a Federal Judge, working under the authority of Article III of the US Constitution. The FTC wanted to slow roll this by using an Administrative Judge, who works for them. This was a win for the US Constitution. I don't know if it's a win for consumers.

Quote: ... the Court finds the FTC has not shown a likelihood it will prevail on its claim this particular vertical merger in this specific industry may substantially lessen competition. To the contrary, the record evidence points to more consumer access to Call of Duty and other Activision content...
Huh? 'Competition' =/= 'access'. Not the first stupid judge I've heard about, but that statement is amongst the stupider...
