When you consider Elon Musk everything is a strategy, even when he falls face-first and exposes his whole ass. It has to be a strategy because he is the smartest boy you see

Ahhh you see, the physics of 2D waifus were actually covered on the seminar a year after he flunked out. Womp womp.

the guy is actually almost a physicist, even flunked out of a Ph.D

Great credential for trying to "integrate physics and AI" if he's demonstrably too lazy to understand physics at an advanced level.

You missed the most beautiful city-state of OSTBREST

This is completely off topic I think but I need you all to see this, it's important on a spiritual level

This map is infinitely sneerable, every region you look at is somehow worse than the previous one, regardless of the order in which you do that.

Tag yourself, I'm Cracked Coast, population 17.

none of this shit is workable or even real, unless the point is setting students up to fail

This conclusion applies to literally every single ChatGPT "solution" to a nontrivial problem from any domain I've seen attempted at an undergrad level.

Software licensing is notoriously labyrinthine, so resources like the site Microsoft will close – Get Licensing Ready – can be very handy. Today, the site offers over 50 training modules plus documentation.

I'm sorry, mister MSFT, why did you cause there to be more educational content about your stupid licenses than there is for theoretical physics in an undergrad programme, have you ever considered that it's time to stop? Get some help?

I had no idea so much of C++ and the Committee was so closely linked to the military industrial complex. Like people who design fucking murder drones just casually send their requests to them and they read them and care? And Bjarne Cplusplus, the inventor of C++, helped Lockheed Martin on the F22???

No, seriously, sorry, I cannot put myself into a hypothetical headspace where someone sending me a letter "hello, we need this feature to kill civillians better, thanks" isn't interpreted as a prank, since if it weren't then the only acceptable response would be to return a pipebomb to the sender.

Of course, this brings up the title of this section. The C++ Alliance. Shortly after making a shitload of money from the massive rise of value in bitcoin in the late 10s, Vinnie Falco proceeded to purchase the C++ Slack under the name of this non-profit organization.

Wait a second, record scratch, stop, what on earth does "purchase the C++ Slack" mean? Since when are we trading Slacks? What's the value of a Slack? Can I buy someone's Slack? How many users do I have to get on my Slack before it's worth something on the open market? What the fuck does this mean???

I am about halfway through but it'd really help if someone could maybe do a TL;DR about the C++ features that are mentioned in this post.

Like what the fuck are profiles? Modules? C++ has modules? Half of my current job is in C++ and I have no idea what any of those things are. Which seems to be a common problem with C++, e.g. I've recently learnt that something for garbage collection used to exist, but it was scrapped and removed from the standard before I've first heard of it.

It's hard to understand the reddit comments linked without this context and the post itself is like an hour-long read.

EDIT: Okay I see profiles are explained in a section later, but modules are not? Also they're explained in opposition to "contracts" which I've also never heard of and jesus fucking christ, this language is a hellhole

EDIT2: I'll add operator . to the list of plot important characters that get no introduction if you're not familiar with the C++ Extended Universe
