Is there anyone in my extended social network who happens to be in Athlone, Ireland and is interested in connecting?.

Ep 487 - AI: Not Just Autocomplete

RT @BarryRevzin: @lefticus Reflection doesn't make packs in structured bindings obsolete. It just adds to the use-cases. For instance, I h….

Check out this actual real usable test case ("test" but it does actually work and could be put in production code AFAICT) of using C++26's reflection with cross-language bindings!. Working example you can play with:

Ep 486 - Captureless Lambdas with Captures

(in Maastricht, yesterday). Them: unfortunately your room is in a different building, 400 meters from here. We can change you to a closer room if you'd like. Me: well, I just walked 560km to get here, I think 400m is ok. Them: . .

RT @DonchoGunchev: @OsamaSror5 @gioseaxmc Or watch this quick alignment intro by @lefticus.

We finished the Pieterpad today! I logged every lodging to lodging track. (Which sometimes included groceries, food, etc) . 558km, 749k steps, 22 days. I'll be donating 558€ to in honor of Rainer. I've heard from 3 others who will also be donating!

Ep 485 - Variadic Structured Bindings in C++26

Only 1 week left to sign up for C++ On Sea! Now is the time to stop procrastinating!.

RT @meetingcpp: Been out hiking in the woods today to meet @lefticus, who is walking the Pieterpad in the Netherlands! Was a pleasure to se….

Currently 435km into the Pieterpad! Looks like we'll end up maybe closer to 560km of the expected 505. This comes down to things like detours for lunch and dinner food and "side quests" to get to the hotel and back to the trail. Support #als research!

Ep 484 - Infinite Loops, UB, and C++23.

Me, walking: "Google, show me the grocery stores near me".Google: "here are all the grocery stores in a 100km radius".

Officially over halfway into the Pieterpad!. 286.6km logged so far! . #ALS consider donating to the underfunded field of ALS research.

Summited Archemerberg today on the Pieterpad! #ALS

RT @NDC_Conferences: Don't miss @lefticus "C++ Best Practices" look at the pros and cons of various options to find the simpler, safer, mor….
