Wow. Thanks!

Listen, I know the game is a little controversial right now, but this post is too hilarious to not share

@FriedgeHNIC If they tie by differential, then USA got at least 10 goals in the game, so they would have at least 21 goals for, and USA would win that tie breaker. But USA is not going to win by 10.

Canada beats France 10-2, finishes round-robin with a goal differential of +17 USA enters Germany game later tonight at +7. To take top seed from Canada would need to win by at least 10. If they equal` in differential, second tiebreaker is goals for. Canada locked in at 20. USA starts tonight at 11.

@NHLBruins Hey, marketing/graphics team, consider lowering the goalie list in order to separate them from the D. ie:

The lines look like this:

@ericniebler Yeah, that and 'check' in the Apple headers. I mean what kind of monster would do something like that. @SeanParent

Every time I wrap `max` in parens, I curse the Windows team under my breath.

@seanbax Like const

👀 Transitive property fail.

Going live in half an hour! So excited to try this out. Come jump in and hack on clang with me! twitch.tv/TheWholeDaisy

@david_sankel @gregcons @SeanParent @herbsutter @ericniebler Yes, main should have a return 0; - the special rule is just that: special, esoteric - makes intent clear

Context is that beman.exemplar, a simple project intending to represent best practices, is debating this very question. Help C++ luminaries! @gregcons @SeanParent @herbsutter @tvaneerd @ericniebler and others... github.com/beman-project/… github.com/beman-project/…

Should a simple `int main()` have `return 0;`

@david_m_stone I've been known to use `dephault`, if that helps at all

I've been informed that this is a bad idea. I should use `switkh` instead.

To avoid using a keyword when I need something that should be named `switch`, I've been using `switch_`. But I think in honor of the "Use `klass` to refer to the concept of a class" idiom, I should be using `swich`.

@blelbach Because the banana split?

Why is it so difficult to find a banana in an airport terminal?

@DrAndreDavid @cppnow I stole the joke from the internet

This is the joke I didn't know I was waiting for. Kudos to @tvaneerd @cppnow. youtube.com/watch?v=sc1guy…

@googlemaps how about a safety option for walking directions that tries to stick to well lit and heavily trafficked paths instead of dimly lit paths and back alleys.

@MichaelCaisse I just recommended your talk to a coworker

YouTube comment: "flaky talk. Doesn't reveal some insight into senders. Watch something else." Comment from committee member after talk: "I have a much better grasp on senders now" Love YouTube comments.

we added ; to if statements if (auto x = f(); x.has_value()) have we added it to while yet? while (auto x = next(); x.has_value()) or do I need for (auto x = next; x.has_value(); x = next())

Another one is "could this be not a pointer" ie sometimes I see a raw pointer so I try to make it a unique_ptr and by the time I'm done I realize it could be not a pointer at all.

One that isn't always simple, but sometimes is doable: - make functions pure (return a result, have no side-effects)

What are some good simple coding habits, like - declaring variables where they are first used Maybe habits that you do when trying to fix/understand code and your first step is to just declutter and clean and once you are done the code suddenly is easy to understand.

@basilyusuf1709 @blelbach We make projectors BTW, we typically bounce the photons off a screen first. Laser photons straight to the eye are not recommended

@blelbach @tvaneerd What even

"I work for Christie Digital. We take electrons from the wall, turn them into photons and shoot them at your eyeballs." - @tvaneerd

@CppSage @ericniebler but the queen of clubs has to live outside the deck. It is dealt into your hand, then played onto the table, etc. Are those methods of deck?

@tvaneerd @ericniebler The same exact way you maintain any other invariant. This is not at all special. Mutating operations on the object are written to not violate the invariants upon return/exception (and those functions can have preconditions).

Any C++ type that has a moved-from state should also be default-constructible into that state.
