@BrigitMurtaugh @Christopurr The Microsoft C++ team would be happy to help out if you wish, even if you are not using MSVC or Windows. Feel free to email visualcpp or michael.price, (both @microsoft.com) with any details of the issues you experienced.

[Michael Price @michaelpricedev]

Well. That was always my absolute red line. Time to wind this thing down.

[Michael Price @michaelpricedev]

@jfbastien @tessiof @Akien I’d prefer not delaying C++23, but I’m worried about waiting another 3 years to respond to some very reasonable concerns from national security agencies. A security-focused C++24 would be the more likely argument from me.

@fifty_nine Salient lines. You know, just the stuff that really matters. 🤣🤣

[Michael Price @michaelpricedev]

Tech leaders sometimes overestimate their powers if persuasion. I once announced I was leaving a position, and a follow-up call with my skip-level manager had the opposite effect from what he planned. His comments only reinforced my decision.

I found the 1000 years comment at the end very discomforting when I read it. I’ve never heard any programmer talk this way,

Then I realized why. Proponents of the 3rd Reich would express their desire for it to last 1000 years.

Maybe just a coincidence, but definitely unsettling

[Michael Price @michaelpricedev]

Spot on. “Politics” is an emergent quality of any group of people. You will have it, and there can be both written and unwritten policies to influence it.

[Michael Price @michaelpricedev]

Let’s fix some shit. Otherwise, we’ll see people trying to move to… Java.

[JF Bastien @jfbastien]

Wherein I propose that C++ initialize all stack variables to zero, preventing ~10% of CVEs.

Cost: none.

@joe_nca @smorris793 @Mike_Hixenbaugh @lewiskamb Is that what that 538 graphic is saying? Are we seeing the same chart. It show a D win in 2% is simulations. Clearly a chance, however small.

@fifty_nine **most people

[Michael Price @michaelpricedev]

I hope everyone can see where this is headed: tiered accounts with higher tiers offering capabilities like ignoring blocks from lower tiers, looser restrictions on speech, heavier weight on reports, expedited/favorable review process, insight with access to deep telemetry, etc…

[Michael Price @michaelpricedev]

@lmanul @PagerPongMonke This may be a great opportunity to unionize. “Everyone that wants it gets their job back, otherwise none of us come back.”

[Michael Price @michaelpricedev]

@fifty_nine I mean, maybe it drops towards the “ideal” line tomorrow…

[Michael Price @michaelpricedev]

@fifty_nine It is neither good nor bad. It just is.

[Michael Price @michaelpricedev]

@fifty_nine Also interesting that standard of living was mostly flat during that industrialization push, but then went way up after that first generation. Reminds me of the auto industry in the Rust Belt.

[Michael Price @michaelpricedev]

@fifty_nine Yeah, I definitely saw in that graph that population was riding first. I was wondering if it was some sort of welfare policy or something like that to pump up birthrate, but the immigration policy makes sense.
