The Gathering - When We Fall[^]
Somehow I completely missed The Gathering's new album, Beautiful Distortion, which was released in April.
The Gathering is a legendary Dutch band who started out as a doom metal band, pioneered in the gothic metal scene, and made a style switch in 98 with their fifth studio album.
What we hear today is alternative rock with shoegaze and even some trip hop.
They went on a break in 2013, which was also the year of their last release.
But apparently, they're back! 
I'm not a big fan, but I do like their music and I always give their new albums a listen.
In this case the album really caught on and it's on repeat, with this track in particular.

Almost 100 million views, and I don't think I've heard it before: Woodkid - Iron. Pretty awesome, and their other stuff is really good.

My hubby is in the backyard building FSM only knows what for the chickens.
I'm in here trying to work out a problem at runtime that I solved at compile time already in spades.
And I realize how spoiled I am by template metaprogramming. Some problems are actually *easier* to solve at compile time using the aforementioned technique. That kind of caught me by surprise, actually, until I ran into it.
I'm having to convert digital audio samples from one bit depth to the other, one sample rate to the other, one channel config to another and composing something to do so efficiently at run time on a tiny device.
I do something similar in my GFX library at compile time no problem, because I can pseudo-dynamically manipulate types themselves, which can make things much easier, particularly when you don't know the size of your data ahead of time.
I was thinking of making a daisy chaining jump table to do each of the conversions in turn, and build that table at run time. Each function in the jump table would a read buffer to a write buffer, performing one of the conversion steps but it seems rickety and complicated.
I'm not looking for solutions here - I'm good with the challenge - just vent/praising C++ compile time vs anything else (including C++) at runtime.
I did like being surprised by a compile time problem being much easier that a runtime problem using metaprogramming techniques.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

I cannot believe it.
To me, C++ metaprogramming is just hieroglyphs. 
Anyway, error reporting should make you feel better.

Not the only one either. Makes me wonder if people have different answers

Had to look up this word after I guessed it correctly (this is one of those words metal bands like to use  ).
How did you go from two to three?

I know right. I always struggle with that.

Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out.

The first word which came to my mind, having no vowels, was this, and it worked.
