I came here to say exactly these two things 😂

I don’t think it’s a fair characterization. To my understanding there were specific concerns about contracts. Hopefully these will get resolved, or contracts will be moved to C++29.

I do agree and I think it’s wise to narrow C++ down by a lot, and that is a choice you can make when working on a new project.

Well, I mentioned safe in the comparative degree. Modern C++ could be actually safe if you restrict yourself to a subset of it, that’s sometimes not really practical. I do think that things are improving and with C++26 it’s becoming way easier to write perfectly (memory-)safe code that’s also (subjectively) elegant.

And probably Canadian election history too.

I very strongly disagree. It’s practically a superset for backwards compatibility reasons but modern C++ coding patterns are vastly different to C. Modern English is kind of a superset of Shakespearean English, but you don’t need to know it for most daily tasks. C++ is much more elegant and safe when avoiding C patterns. C has its place and I use it sometimes, but the two should absolutely not get confused because of the name and compatibility.

The clown face was a hint. No, I don’t think Olivia Chow is going to force Sharia Law on us… (or Law Law as another commenter added)

Well, I guess it’s Sharia Law for us 🤡

You misunderstood my point, I think. I meant I was against giving them more money by mandating that media companies do so.

How come it comes across from my comment that I am in favour of Rogers OR the NHL? I am a pretty big hater of both exactly because of unbridled capitalism.

compel private media companies to license sports events of national importance to TV stations that will air them free of charge.

Strongly against this, the NHL is not a charity. Why not “compel” them by legislation to give away licensing to Canadian media instead of forcing media companies to buy?

Roundcube and Baikal for me. I used Mutt for email today 😂

Don’t you mean “feel so d*** cool” 😮😒

No

No, and if there was an option for a 20-year certificate I would have taken it.

I’d say biggest first is a more natural extension of our numbering system, like in the number 5,678 the digit on the left represent the biggest unit, of thousands. You can still omit the year without ambiguity. But it doesn’t really matter as long as there is a standard way that makes sense, unlike the mess we have now.

This is the official date format in Canada. Unfortunately you often see aa/bb/yyyy, and good luck figuring whether “aa” is the day and “bb” the month (British-style) or vice versa (American-style, and significantly stupider because it doesn’t follow a clear endianess)

100% metrication now!!

Also, 24h clock and yyyy-mm-dd only.

Happy to hear it’s coming, hoping midrange phones are next.

I get it. It ain’t making me laugh, but I get it.
