@bfcarlson In 1973, I was 20. How could that not be better than 2023?

This is stunning: A majority of Americans believe life today is worse than it was half a century ago.
What was different — and better— about the lives of people in 1973?
And what is worse about today?

@romero @piotrkotnis @WeAreDevs @ID_AA_Carmack Actually, we didn't talk much about me either. We talked about technical stuff. Hardware, software, techniques, changes over time.

@piotrkotnis @stroustrup @WeAreDevs @ID_AA_Carmack We didn't talk about me at all — I'm just a puddle of slime sliding around on the ground compared to him. Kids, when you meet your heroes, do not talk about yourself, ever. You're wasting that precious time.

Incredible life achievement unlocked. I spent an hour of one-on-one time talking to the amazing Bjarne @stroustrup about C++ at the @WeAreDevs 2022 conference :) @ID_AA_Carmack #CPP #programming

@paulkrugman The Russian strategy of targeting civilians makes perfect sense if the aim is to replace the population with Russians – ethnic cleansing – like Viborg and Karelia, like Konigsberg, like Eastern Poland.

But Ted Cruz said they were superior because their military isn’t woke

At the root of Russian atrocities in Ukraine: a brutal culture of cruelty is embedded in Russia's military, where vicious hazing is commonplace. "It is the state of the Russian army, this impunity, aggression and internal violence.” By @antontroian nyti.ms/3KTQlWZ

@PeterSommerlad That was a fairly common sentiment at Bell Labs complemented by "Language design is library design"

@dev_jonaskaas @telmo Bjarne is not coding UI stuff + probably spends 98.8% of his time thinking and exchanging emails.

@MarkusWerle @herbsutter @seanbax @stroustrup I thought Comeau C++ was based on cfront. At least in the early days, as it predated EDG.

@sigfpe @_Srijit @MathewPCalkins do you have any good resources for C programmers looking to learn c++?

@SanjayVyas @Soma33088836 @chris_umendeche @suprabhasupi Correct. The Simula guys (notably Kristen Nygaard and Ole-Johan Dahl) used the term "object-based" for years before Alan Kay discovered inheritance from reading the source of a Simula compiler.
English
@Soma33088836 @chris_umendeche @suprabhasupi You are right about that. Simula existed before Smalltalk and had object oriented features but the term 'object oriented' wasn't coined until later.

@SanjayVyas @sumim @chris_umendeche @suprabhasupi The first OO language was Simula from 1967: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simula

@bjorn_fahller @Cor3ntin @vzverovich Actually, at the time, there were dozens of quite reasonable systems programming languages; most system/machine specific, but not all. C had to overcome many political/commercial and technical problems. bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/ho…

The more functional-style C++ you write, the more you realize [[nodiscard]] will eventually become another default we got wrong.

Good condition seems a dream considering the mileage... would be nice if it came with an extra 10000 km guarantee that it won’t fall apart😏

@Mayankesh_ Actually, it won't pass the compiler. Instead try the simpler:
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout<<"Fact 1\nC++ was developed by\nBjarne Stroustrup\n";
}

@listenserver @RoalzApps @__phantomderp The paper references and quotes a 1992 paper on the subject. The idea of the Vasa as cautionary tale isn't novel. Also, a metaphor is there to make people think, not as a proof of anything. Both papers give concrete examples of potentially troublesome features.
