@NightWatchNemo @pornlaw @BiatchDulce I tried to buy lunch in a food truck in Switzerland some months ago and the only payment systems that worked were only for locals. The credit card machine didn't work at that place.

When 99% use the new system, no one checks the old one still works.

[Florent Castelli @OrphisFlo]

@lyboussaki13344 @BiatchDulce Plenty of countries already have alternatives. This was just showing how well those new technologies have already captured the market vs the traditional payment systems.

@awesomekling @jfbastien We worked hard on features with sometimes obscure behavior, so we make sure to have full coverage of it somewhere (that's not just WPT)!

[Florent Castelli @OrphisFlo]

@MatRopert I've seen plenty of people play without a controller too and still having a lot of fun. Have you tried it on keyboard?

[Florent Castelli @OrphisFlo]

@MatRopert @ACCUConf A silly trick for the tweet you reference is to update your vector header file and make the copy constructor explicit.
All the copies will pop-up as errors and you can either make them explicit or remove them!
Works for other containers like string too!

@Arcticven0m @GothamChess They offered me Mariestad Guld as their "beer of the week" last time I went there, which is like saying Kronembourg was fancy enough to be a beer of any week. It's OK beer, but sugarcoating it is a tourist trap.
There is also no river close to it, just the lake and the sea.

[Florent Castelli @OrphisFlo]

@GothamChess You'll get nice beers in Stockholm at Akkurat or Man in the Moon. You can go to Sjätte Tunnan for a tavern experience with mead and sometimes live music.
I can provide more references for finer dining too if that's your thing!

[Florent Castelli @OrphisFlo]

@awesomekling You can also make use of "git gui" to selectively add / remove lines and chunks of changes to a commit. It can amend transparently too. Such an underused tool!
It's certainly not a CLI tool, but quite often it won't matter much as coding phase and committing one are distinct.

[Florent Castelli @OrphisFlo]

@The_Whole_Daisy @meetingcpp Great! Have you done any streams yet? If so, it'd be great if VODs was automatically enabled to rewatch past coding sessions!
People working on LLVM publicly are rare, so the educational value is quite high!

[Florent Castelli @OrphisFlo]

@Crownmuri Realistically, it's a sign you should cook more often to move your pantry faster!
Though, I don't think oils will do you wrong, unless they taste rancid in the first place.

[Florent Castelli @OrphisFlo]

@MikageEmu If there is, it never worked for me somehow.

[Florent Castelli @OrphisFlo]

@GothamChess Any info about the fan event?

[Florent Castelli @OrphisFlo]

@Ameobea10 Good job and writeup! Now that you're all set up, if you want to fix more bugs, to check when your changes made it to any version, you can use the Commits part of Chromium Dash like this: https://t.co/6NBnwnmjBv
It'll show you which version it landed in. Quite useful tool!

@awesomekling @ladybirdbrowser @SwiftLang In general, browser development has reduced traditional C++ usage by employing various technologies. Firefox will use a lot of JS to implement specs. Chromium has its GC manage the lifetime of C++ objects (Oilpan) in some context. Both are quite interesting approaches.

[Florent Castelli @OrphisFlo]

@awesomekling @ladybirdbrowser @SwiftLang C++ is usually chosen because the people who are able to contribute to such a code base know C++.
The number of browser developers knowing Swift is a lot smaller than for C++, so it may become difficult to get contributions from them.

[Florent Castelli @OrphisFlo]

@awesomekling @ladybirdbrowser @SwiftLang Also, when choosing a language, you want more than "We like it" and "version X will fix it". What current modules are implemented in Swift? Has it proven the C++ interop in the context of your code base?

[Florent Castelli @OrphisFlo]

@awesomekling @lcasdev Having many specs about a domain is not just a CSS problem. They are necessary when designing new yet unproven designs, but get in the way later.
In my domain, we're trying to consolidate them a bit now. Fun times for editors!

[Florent Castelli @OrphisFlo]

@MatRopert What place was that? Most have a disclaimer they only accept driving licenses using the newer European credit card format and reject paper versions.
Wonder if they have changed their policy now!
