@KevlinHenney Your new business card, direct from the register "@kevlinhenney, a public software failure". Also, there's something of John Keats about "Here lies one whose name was writ in failure"

You may have heard of #embed, new for C23. It is a godsend for game dev, effectively #include for binary. Do you want it in MSVC (clue: yes, you do)? Then vote for it here: https://t.co/dx7F2w55qd

@raybradbury As a young teenager in the 80s, I discovered Ray Bradbury through an English teacher. So many stories opened up new worlds it is hard to pick just one, however, The sheer creepy terror of "The Crowd" means I've never regarded the gawping onlookers at an accident the same since.

@tomerg @KevlinHenney @qmalvido @BBC A highly respected sports journalist has been suspended for having expressed freedom of speech and criticised the govts latest immigration policy as being dangerously close to the rhetoric of the right wing in the late 1930s. Google 'bbc lineker' that should show you more.

@KevlinHenney @BBC There's a thin line between having an unbiased media and not calling extreme leaning views for what they are. The @BBC are completely bent to the will of the government, no doubt through fear of having their funding withdrawn. I used to trust them.

I’m going to start tweeting out a bunch of gdb tips. Every time I give a talk on GDB someone comes up to tell me they thought they knew GDB but discovered some things they had no idea about. And every talk I give someone teaches me something I didn’t know existed.
