Well folks, that will do it for me. I’m signing off of Twitter for the foreseeable future. Maybe I’ll be back someday if the situation improves. Hope to find you all somewhere else.

The people have spoken.

Trump will be reinstated.

Vox Populi, Vox Dei.

@michaelpricedev @fifty_nine Seems to be normal practice in my experience!

[Tom Honermann @tahonermann]

@lefticus And break all that code written immediately after C++11 when programmers were told to always use the new thing before discovering that the new thing was a Ford Pinto dressed up like a Mustang?

@AaronBallman The right diagnostic is, “How about you just tell me what you are trying to do”

@vzverovich Hey! I know how to twitter computers!

[Tom Honermann @tahonermann]

@ericniebler @jyasskin And by blatter I of course mean bladder. Why can’t I shpell?

[Tom Honermann @tahonermann]

@ericniebler @jyasskin And why is my blatter hurting.

[Tom Honermann @tahonermann]

@PeterSommerlad @lefticus It seems that the intended meaning is irrelevant. Increased views are driven by perception and, no doubt, algorithmic analysis of what has produced results in the past. I, of course, intended it to be read as “My Friends” ;)

@daniel_dunbar IRC = In Real Crisis, right?

[Tom Honermann @tahonermann]

@lefticus You get a new card and get to start all over again. That’s a rotate.

[Tom Honermann @tahonermann]

@fifty_nine Ha! I don’t recall you asking a lot of questions. But we first started working together a long time ago now! :)

[Tom Honermann @tahonermann]

@fifty_nine I’ve been guilty of that. Recently.

[Tom Honermann @tahonermann]

@DanielaKEngert @PeterSommerlad Ah, I didn’t mean to imply I got them all at the same time. I got the pneumonia and zoster ones together and then the Flu and COVID ones together. My GP is also slightly adverse to getting multiples at once despite the absence of contraindications.

[Tom Honermann @tahonermann]

@lefticus @SimonToth83 I don’t find it strange; I find it intuitive actually. I think what many people find weird is that structured binding declarations declare an unnamed variable in addition to the bound variables. Once that is understood, the constraint applying to the unnamed variable is intuitive

[Tom Honermann @tahonermann]

@BarryRevzin @seanbax @lefticus Oh, it may not be particularly useful, but it is desirable to be able to consistently specify a concept anywhere `auto` is used as a type specifier. Granted, I’m not sure use of `auto` in a structured binding technically qualifies as a type specifier (I didn’t look).

@horenmar_ctu Stoli, because it was all consumed during the design phase.

@mboehme_ It’s when you spill too much coffee/water/wine on your computer/phone. The fluid causes the memory to leak out. That’s why it doesn’t work afterward.

[Tom Honermann @tahonermann]

@DanielaKEngert @PeterSommerlad I got mine recently (along with a COVID booster, and the pneumonia vaccine, and the zoster vaccine; I feel super powered!) and the sore arm was all I had to show for it!

[Tom Honermann @tahonermann]

@seanbax @lefticus But also desirable!
