sometimes water is so fuckin good

@astra_underscore @vaporeon_ what do javascript developers taste like

@vaporeon_ "From reading this, it may seem to you that stateful metaprogramming ought to be illegal, and that the committee feels the same way. The problem is that they do not know what to do with this “feature” that they introduced accidentally. The technique was found back in 2015, and since then the issue has remained open."

oh my GOD

@amy @vaporeon_ and the javascript way :]

(except since ES2021 but we won't talk about that)

@vaporeon_ this blog post contains the incredible sentences "Isn’t it beautiful? We just violated one of the fundamental aspects of the language! And yet, I emphasize, everything is in full compliance with the C++ standard."

@vaporeon_ okay now this is truly deranged language design:

@aescling @vaporeon_ incineroar, specifically in super smash brothers ultimate, is really funny

@aescling @vaporeon_ correct, ash #2

@vaporeon_ did you know that std::endl not only adds a newline but also inexplicably calls a method on the underlying "output stream instance" representing the console output, meaning that writing std::cout << "Hello world" << std::endl is less performant than writing std::cout << "Hello world" << "\n";?

@vaporeon_ T&& is an "rvalue reference to T" which is a whole can of worms I am not going to explain right now

@vaporeon_ not object-oriented but still pretty bad

@aescling @vaporeon_ lmao

@aschmitz @aescling @vaporeon_ today you are my favorite masto user who username's first syllable sounds like "ash"

@vaporeon_ someone in a reddit comment said they actually saw this in their company's production code so even if its wrong, its out in the wild somewhere

@aescling @vaporeon_ forgive me for not knowing what i am talking about

@vaporeon_ i have failed in my objective lol

@vaporeon_ lmao

@vaporeon_ it's from an openssl library: https://docs.openssl.org/1.0.2/man3/rand/

@vaporeon_ maybe it needs to be in the main function

@vaporeon_ I got it from https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/1hefgfn/what_are_your_best_niche_c_fun_facts/m23pxj0/
