  Do you need it explained why a document published in 2005 is not a reliable guide to modernity in 2021? Cppreference.com is an excellent resource to help you get caught up. BoostCon vids on Youtube are also helpful.

      Apparently, you do. A document published in 2005 can rely only on information available on or before 2005. The latest C++ Standard in 2005 was C++03. Since it was written, C++11, C++14, C++17, and C++20 were released, which the old document can have no information about. Each release substantially changed the C++ language, C++11 and C++20 radically. Thus, a document from 2005 can only tell you what was modern in 2005, which is necessarily very different from what is modern in 2021. Maybe it would help you to look up "modern" in the dictionary.
