It's based on C++03.
Even with a fully compliant C++11/C++14 compiler, when you use Boost, you end up with a huge amount of C++03 code pretending it's C++11 and they don't get along seamlessly. If Boost wants to stay relevant, they need to rebase to at least C++14.

Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell

Akamai has found that the average global last-mile Internet connection speed has gone up 23 percent year over year. Someone should tell my network connection
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, me too...still stuck on DSL 5 Mbps...
|
|
|
|

In Bangalore, yes it has. I used to have a supposedly 3 Mbps connection with a 12 GB data limit. For same price, I now have at least 15 Mbps connection with 60GB data limit.

Well my ISP's headline speed has gone from 75/10(?) to 120/10 in the last year or so. On the other Elephant, I only ever saw anything near 75 except during offpeak hours and have only seen anything near 120 at minimum usage times.
A decade ago, I could generally figure out when they were planning an upgrade that I'd officially learn about in another month or two because I was suddenly getting a 20-40% faster connection than what I was paying for. 
And OFC, a nominal 120 down is about the practical limit of a 4 channel docsis 3 modem; which was the limit of what they'd support and allow me to use when I bought my current box.
The theoretical limit in the US is 160, real world performance can never actually be that high though; marketing will as always prove that they're lying scum by claiming 173 as being possible. That number would require the larger more widely spaced euro channel layout that's not actually used anywhere in this country; continuing the fine decades old tradition that dates back at least as far as the 56k modem; despite FCC frequency limits meaning that more than 53k was theoretically impossible. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I think you'll find Apple already have that covered nicely.
(At least in bang for the buck department).

Coding and cooking bring a sense of control that other occupations do not offer, but this is not their only connection. You put code in the microwave, and it's ready in 30seconds?

No, nothing else is like coding.

I think this is a very keen point ! Signature worthy 
Enthuses me to spontificate:
Coding is cooking exactly the same cake five times when the recipe, and the kitchen, are unpredictably changed every minute you are at work.
Hacking is getting inside the cake without disturbing the icing.

Better to warm it on the compiler and cook it with the linker. Use some spicy libs for better taste and smooth flavor 
Press F1 for help or google it.

It may take 40 seconds, or 20, depending on how fast you can copy-and-paste code from CodeProject and StackOverflow into your IDE.

On Monday and Tuesday, two comets will pass Earth in their orbits around the Sun. "Ruling the calm spaciousness of that heaven was the great comet, now green-white, and wonderful for all who had eyes to see."
Sadly, it won't be that good.
