Inversely, 10 years of software built around a software bug. I'm not sure why I'm seeing so many Tweets being pushed to the top of HN? Why not just link to the actual presentation and not the arguing hivemind that is Twitter? http://josuttis.de/cpp/210929_rangebasedfor_p2012r2.pdf http://josuttis.de/cpp/210929_rangebasedfor_p2012r2.pdf

Thanks, that pdf was informative. I wonder if the proposed fix could introduce memory leaks in old code.

>Why not just link to the actual presentation and not the arguing hivemind that is Twitter? Can't speak for the submitter but many times for technical topics, the replies add more context. In this particular case, the replies didn't have any arguing and there was also a more detailed pdf with more extensive code samples: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2021/p2012r1.pdf http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2021/p201... ... was from: https://twitter.com/NicoJosuttis/status/1443453792805064706 https://twitter.com/NicoJosuttis/status/1443453792805064706

  It's only a matter of time before the "engaging" arguments are promoted to the top of a twitter feed. Maybe for extremely low traffic posts, but what I see from the top is a snarky comment from Nicolai which essentially is relaying through "yet another" segue of <insert relatable quote> along the lines of "this is stupid, they're stupid, why is this still a stupid problem to have". To his own post. The following comment about Gasper talks about how it was the approach that was incorrect, not that it shouldn't be fixed. The following response is just defending that "things must be done if asked otherwise who will do the asking" concern trolling. Below that is unrelated tweets. I'm not about to go and click through a bunch of responses and more replies searching for the discussion. Hence why I think Twitter is a terrible platform to link to. Twitter is just an engagement platform which feeds off arguments and bickering between people using snarky comments so people feel clever. Getting hearts/likes so that you know x number of people on the internet approve of your message.
