finally killed that smug piece of shit gortash. really enjoyed how they handled karlach's reaction to it, fantastic stuff.

@amy hiii 🤠

so glad i am finished with my hobby (work) so i can go back to doing my job (playing baldur's gate 3)

@coriander oh shit it's yukon in motion, the most glorious day it is

@coriander i am back home and can see the cryptid what a joyous day

For C++ saying that lvalues are things on which the & operator doesn't throw (and rvalue are things which cause & to throw) is slightly incorrect. After checking the official specification for the language there is a thing called a "qualified-id" that & can operate on, and there is a case where a qualified-id can be a rvalue.

@coriander what a terrible day for work wifi to not allow pictures on glitchcat to be seen

@Lady @aescling you're making me want to try Swift

@Lady @aescling could you elaborate?

@coriander giant's tomb SUCKED though

@coriander i was pretty lukewarm on dark souls 1, but blighttown slapped it was one of the highlights of my playthrough, deal with it.

@amy for shame

@Lady C++ compiler writers actually did optimize some things before the '98 update but they added more to the language anyway because, ya know, C++

@amy hello 🤠

oh that's a 60mph wind extreme weather warning for my city tonight. neat.

what if you had a language that passed all variables by value instead of by reference meaning that declarative passing of objects to other functions results in often-expensive copy operations for the arguments to and return value of each function call. so we use pointers for everything. except explicit pointer logic is extremely error prone so instead we should use objects which handle the pointer logic for us. also we need to invent references, which are like pointers but they're different, and add implicit conversion of objects to their references to the 1998 update to the language specification so you can pass these wrapper objects to functions without copies now. but also we need to invent rvalue references so you can pass rvalues to functions as well. btw do you know what an rvalue is? oops wait, these rvalue references so happen to fuck the taxonomy of value categories for the language so now you need to know what an xvalue is teehee

@jackdaw_ruiz i'm so glad i have something to blame now, thank you.
