@david_m_stone `no_alloc_push_back()` would seem to fit rather well.

@bruces Wait, what? From https://t.co/96eUie8uBg

"So, they said they would pay me a thousand lire. I told them my price was one million lire, thinking that would put a stop to the whole thing. But they said yes!"

Doesn't quite fit the starving refugee narrative.

@bruces I don't think art has to be profitable. Or even desirable, actually.

[Vadim Zeitlin @_VZ]

@bruces If demo scene products were art -- and I think many people think they were -- then this is also art.

It's thought provoking, impressive, impractical, what else can it be?

[Vadim Zeitlin @_VZ]

@bruces Maybe because there is no crowd there any more? They've all got conscripted and many of them are already dead.

@ijgore @AlexSelbyB Spoiler: he was one of the people on Zoom giving some life advice to Blanc in the first scene with him.

The other 3 people there are not random unknowns neither but he was the only one I recognized.

@AlexSelbyB Just finished watching that and now I'll know the answer to "In what film did Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Serena Williams star together?" in a future Economist Christmas crossword.

(I'm kidding, of course, this is not nearly up to the difficulty level of those)

Do we even still need to write documentation any more when we have #ChatGPT? Here's a brief tutorial for wxWidgets in the style of Raymond Chandler it wrote for me.

@bruces It's all in the name.

[Vadim Zeitlin @_VZ]

@bruces They've almost certainly received a call from Anna Pavlovna telling them exactly what words to use.

BTW, who came up with using Anna Pavlovna for the administration of the president could be a more interesting euphemism origin question.

@bruces The difference is motivation.

If only all of the draftees were all as unhappy to be there as some of them are. Unfortunately at least some of them really believe they're defending the Fatherland from Nazism. And those ones won't be useless.

[Vadim Zeitlin @_VZ]

@bruces So, are the Ukrainian fiendishly clever and effective or are the Russians capable of any stupidity in their panic? Is a hard choice to make, as the two seem roughly equibelievable.

[Vadim Zeitlin @_VZ]

@shafikyaghmour @lefticus Want to ask for clarifications but then realize doing it would never fit in a tweet and so don't do anything.

[Vadim Zeitlin @_VZ]

@bruces FWIW Ukrainians say that Lugansk was the work of some local criminals and not them. I don't know if the (ex)prosecutor really appreciates the difference, however.

[Vadim Zeitlin @_VZ]

@bruces I think this question can be considered settled now: https://t.co/m6VAOojJ10

[Christo Grozev @christogrozev]

Ex-convict and human turd-beetle Prigozhin, who sued @Bellingcat in normal court (and lost) and in kangaroo Russian court (and won) over us reporting he runs and funds the Wagner PMC, here on video recruiting Russian convicts for his "own private PMC" Wagner.

@lefticus C++ REST SDK (née Casablanca) was by far the simplest way to make HTTPS requests from a C++program, but it's not maintained any more unfortunately.

[Vadim Zeitlin @_VZ]

@bruces Who was more concerned here, NSA about being infiltrated by L0pht or vice versa?

[Vadim Zeitlin @_VZ]

@david_m_stone The most important one would seem to be that it can change whether `derived` is default/copy constructible/assignable.

[Vadim Zeitlin @_VZ]

@bruces In addition to what the other replies said, motivation does play a role too. The vast majority of the Russian soldiers in Ukraine doesn't really want to fight.

[Vadim Zeitlin @_VZ]

@bruces Generally, you should exercise caution about realistic news coming from Russia, but if something is way too insane to be true, it almost certainly is.

Full disclosure: I believe the story about Prigozhin, it sounds sufficiently crazy to me.
