Choice: go something "artificial" vs. something "real,"
Answer: former easier to cover the mistakes.
... and based on their own past performance there will still be plenty to cover.

It is becoming apparent that the ease of personal survival is inversely proportional to the level of personal intellect. If we give man A.I. so it can make all of their decisions for them, man will no longer be able to think on his own and will become subservient to the A.I. and its controllers.

So, as some of the longer term viewers may know, I used to be a C++ developer; way back in the mists of time. I loved C++ and then the new girl came to town and seduced me with her wiles. No longer would I put up with manual memory management, iterating over for statements when I could use the seductive foreach.
Well, I have recently started getting quite heavily back into C++ using the newer additions to the language such as auto and for (auto index : my_vector) as a foreach. The features that are available now are great and C++ really has matured. So much so that I'm using it to write some drone software. I'm a big fan of fluent interfaces so I thought I'd play around and see how they work in C++ to see if I still want to keep with the new C++ and damn it, it's so straightforward.
#pragma once
#include <librealsense/rs.hpp>
class RealSenseStream
{
public:
explicit RealSenseStream(rs::device* device)
{
this->device = device;
}
~RealSenseStream()
{
}
RealSenseStream &WithDepth(rs::preset preset)
{
device->enable_stream(rs::stream::depth, preset);
return *this;
}
RealSenseStream &WithColor(rs::preset preset)
{
device->enable_stream(rs::stream::color, preset);
return *this;
}
private:
rs::device* device;
};

An empty destructor is almost as scary as an empty catch block 
I just hope that they will one day add reflection. It has been under consideration more than once, but never made it into the standard.

Serialisation or deserialisation of objects. Loading the layout of a UI from XML in a handful of lines and getting an instance of the object tree sure beats constructing those objects in code.

That empty destructor isn't actually empty - I just didn't post the contents. There's more going on in this class and I've just stripped it down for brevity.

Yes, sure. Any reason for not using constructor initializer? Such direct assignments are where they shine!

When debugging, I like to have all my eggs in one basket. A single destructor where everything is in one spot makes it harder to overlook something instead of when the initialisation is distributed all over the place.
For clarity and readability, I think there should be exactly one way of doing something. If not, choose one and stick to it. This way there are less surprises for those who look at your code for the first time.

It is, but I'm not that worried about this at the moment. I will refactor later on, but right now I'm using this to log out the device status and options so while I'm locking this down I'm staying old school.

It's not a bad thing to keep classes as stateless as possible. So much less that has to be memory managed or made thread safe. An empty destructor would mean that the class is very safe in that respect, but it's not a good idea to try to reach this at all cost.

Glad to see you enjoy the new goodies. In my previous job, elephanting legacy forced us to stick with C++03. 
for(auto index: my_vector) is cool.
for(const auto& index: my_vector) even more so!
And, today we do not have to use pointers in containers any more.

Please forgive my curiosity. You have been in that place for quite some time (I think), do you ever consider a switch?
