Honest question, why? If you properly format your code then it's indented anyway so Python is basically just replacing `{` with `:` and then not having a `}`. Python is the least problematic of all the languages enforcing some style th

Copy initialization does not mean that the copy constructor is called. It is the correct term for an expression `T a = ...;`, which can often result in the copy constructor being called but does not have to. In this case it's mandatory

You should absolutely not use or recommend that site. It's stuck on incomplete C++14 at best and also contains some pretty bad code. learncpp.com is a much better tutorial and cppreference.com is a much better reference. The only thing

I recommend using the American keyboard layout if you're doing anything remotely programming related, otherwise all the special characters are just way too annoying (even though personally there's also a few of those in the Americ

> electronvolts (10⁻¹⁹ J) in nuclear physics CERN is at TeV ranges so yes, even in different units we use high prefixes. Might not come up in your every day small talk but they are used.

> (Edit, that's not possible in c++) Mind expanding on that? Because what that readme there shows is absolutely possible in C++, I have used a similar system for dealing with natural units.

Ups, yes. I had it switched originally but then for some reason switched it again. Apparently commenting late at night is not a good idea.

Correlation != causation Spaces are simply inferior to tabs since the latter conveys the meaning of "one level of indentation" while the former does not. It's also better for accessibility and file size. There is not one sing

Just use uBO like everyone else, there's not a single ad on that page visible for me.

Shared ownership is a rare case, so in general using shared_ptr should already raise some suspicion. And in this case there is no reason any of the shared_ptr'ed things in the code need to be on the heap so no reason to even have a poi

That may be true but uMatrix' UX is unmatched - the matrix UI allows for granular control while achieving the same in uBO is significantly harder.

Have you considered that people might actually like that syntax style? Also there's a massive benefit to familiarity, you can easily read code in most languages without knowing them because they look similar. There's a reason most

Nobody said it's impossible, it's just generally not an issue if you write normal code (read: stop treating C++ as C, they are completely different languages). There's only very little difference in how much you need to think

Unless you're manually implementing data structures or something similar you basically never need to manage your memory manually in modern C++. std::vector takes care of most your needs and smart pointers exist for the few cases where

Works perfectly fine for me on FF with uBO and all scripts blocked. Apparently that "Sorry, ..." comes from a cookie popup which I don't even see so seems like you need stronger blocking in your browser.

I'll admit that it's much easier in languages that are not whitespace sensitive but imho it's not an unsolvable problem for the ones that are and software from 50 years ago not handling things correctly is not an argument if

The ecosystem might be small but as you said it can grow and I think there's enough people out there willing to give a new language a try if it seems appealing enough, it's quite common to try a new language for Advent of Code for

And so does Meson. I don't think the xmake author spent a lot of time using other build systems (in fact their short paragraph about Meson demonstrates that they clearly never did use that, using vcpkg with Meson is like 0 effort), it&
