Out of memory will always be a problem without a separate stack, as in sigaltstack.
These guys are still clueless. The standard should mandate the ability to turn a POSIX signal into an exception in a signal handler. Not all platforms could support it, but so what. This also says something about the inane fetish for noexcept.
I would write a proposal but have better ways to spend time than debating pedants in the C++ standards community.

I traded my Ferrari for a golf cart because the Ferrari couldn't carry my gold clubs.

And OP's analogy is "I traded my golf cart for a Ferrari because I didn't need to carry golf clubs."

Because the UK mail delivery service still thinks it's 1940 ...

In the 1940s and -50s, they still had two postal deliveries a day, down from four in the early 1900s. Now, you're lucky to get two deliveries a week!
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

That's one of the weird things about 'murica: you stick your mail in a box on a stick by the road!
So anyone who feels like a quick browse through it, or to take the good bits can just stroll along and help himself ... very odd.
Throughout Europe the letterbox is almost universally on the front door so the post is keep safer and more private. (There is even a European standard height-from-the-ground regulation ...)

Ours is a slot in the garage door, with mail falling into a custom designed Amazon cardboard box. A trash can is close by.
I would hate for someone to read the posts offering me prearranged funeral services. 
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

The box on a stick by the road is also used in Canada. But in both places, this is for rural areas, or areas that used to be rural and still have long driveways. The mail is delivered by a vehicle with a "wrong side" drive so the mailman can just lean out and stuff the mail into the box. It's efficient for countries that aren't the size of a postage stamp. 
In large part, Canada doesn't even have urban mail delivery anymore. For over 20 years, new urban developments have "group mailbox" installations located in outdoor shelters. Ours is a 5-minute walk away and contains over 100 mailboxes. Even though we have a separate mailing address, we still have to regularly clean out all the junk that accumulates in it.

It's odd that so many Americans "love the way we Brits talk", but never do anything about it - i.e. learning to speak English properly..

I speak quite a bit of the queen's english because I keep odd hours so I wind up talking to a lot of you folks in the wee hours. You're almost intelligible.
I don't flaunt it though.

Hmm, I must be seeing something different as it looks quite acceptable to me.

Ha, ha, you have a treat coming. The 'labels' are full size and designed only for parcels. I created a couple for our overseas cards and had to mess about reducing them to fit on a reasonable size envelope.

In Edge, it works ... in Chrome, for me it definitely doesn't.
Mind you in Edge, it's still useless, just you can see it ...

Have you got some weird setting for Chrome as for me, both look exactly the same and are both very easy to read!
Obviously, that doesn't mean it actually works but after all, this is a large UK company formerly publicly owned, so we shouldn't expect too much.

Not as far as I know, it's pretty much standard with a couple of extensions.
I added a screenshot to the original post.

Maybe it's a monitor thing as the screenshot looks fine to me with the Royal Mail logo the only slightly difficult bit to read.
