@vaporeon_ okay now this is truly deranged language design:
https://www.worldcadaccess.com/blog/2020/05/how-to-hack-c-with-templates-and-friends.html

@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/

@vaporeon_ you have already put more thought into that hack than i ever have by writing this comment

@vaporeon_ (tbh i also kinda like it)

@vaporeon_ i must be misremembering what i saw. i'm trying to find it but i can't. for now just forget about that one
