@_JonKalb Is hotel overflow well-defined?

Don’t hesitate. The conference itself won’t sell out, but our room block will and being in the main hotel is so much nicer than being in an overflow hotel.

@HoseaTanatu @ShirleyJwriter That is the correct pronunciation for Arkansas City, Kansas and the Arkansas River, on the Kansas side of the border.

@ShirleyJwriter My sixth grade teacher insisted that "Arkansas" was pronounced to rhyme with "Kansas" ... you know, exactly like the name "Kansas" only with "Ar-" stuck on the front.

I worked as an aide 14 yrs in public school. One afternoon in 5th grade a kid asked the teacher, What's Prussia? The teacher answered, what we called Russia a long time ago. Oh no no no, I stood up from my chair in the corner. Nope. Not today, lady with apples on her pockets.

📣 The Boost formal review of Multi begins today Multi, by Alfredo Correa, is a modern C++ library for manipulating and accessing data in multidimensional arrays, on both CPU and GPU memory The review runs March 5–15, 2026. If you’re interested in a first look: 🔗 Code: github.com/correaa/boost-… 📖 Docs: correaa.github.io/boost-multi/mu… 📬 To participate: @lists.boost.org/thread/GYSV3IB2HH3ASBQSVHEHUCHNFTWPWQ4V/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">lists.boost.org/archives/list/… #cpp

Something's under review A modern C++ library for multidimensional arrays, CPU and GPU, is being considered for inclusion in Boost 👇

Boost.Math now supports reverse mode automatic differentiation. Exact derivatives via computational graphs, no step size tuning, no approximation error. Thanks to Maksym Zhelyeznyakov (physics BS, applied math MS, ECE doctorate from UW), who hit this wall on a personal project Now the same technique that powers gradient computation in PyTorch and TensorFlow is native in C++ through Boost. If you're building ML inference engines, trading systems, or physics simulations in C++, this changes your workflow #cpp

If you're still using finite differences to compute gradients in C++, you're losing precision and performance. There's a better way now, thanks to a Boost contributor 🧵👇

Boost Blueprint 001: Compile-time Performance. Boost.Mp11 is arguably the fastest metaprogramming library in existence. It makes template heavy-lifting actually readable and lightning-fast. Level up your C++ architecture. Follow @Boost_Libraries for the #BoostBlueprint series. 🚀 #cpp

How did Satoshi figure out cross-platform threading, filesystem operations, and event signals for Bitcoin? His answer was Boost. For 15+ years, Bitcoin Core ran on: - boost::thread_groups for concurrency - Boost.Filesystem for data management - Boost.Signals2 for event notification - Boost.Chrono for timing operations Now Core is migrating to std::thread, std::filesystem, std::chrono. Features that originated in Boost and were standardized into C++. That's what Boost does: incubate, prove, standardize. The next generation of C++ features? They're being battle-tested by the Boost community right now.

@K6669 @Aella_Girl Yes it does factor in cost of living.

@Aella_Girl This doesn't factor in the cost of living. If I made 30k and had the cost of living of Thailand I would consider myself pretty well off

It infuriates me that most of those going "eat the rich", ARE THEMSELVES RICH. At a 30k salary in the US you're in the top ~5% of global income. Yall are looking up at the tiny slice of the world above you in, but the bottom 95% is looking up at you.
