Sometimes people just need more money In the UK, having a family often results in one partner quiting work because they earn less after tax than the cost of daycare. Likewise interest rates on mortgages (which aren't fixed long term in

Unfortunately the British mindset these days is to either rent it out or sell it but, whatever the hell you do, don't grow it. Somehow these idiots managed to strike a deal to keep the sovereigns figurehead on stamps (which has no econ

perhaps the always_inline attribute could be useful to encourage the compiler to do the right thing also.

You can sell gilts early. There's just a chance of a small loss. Unlikely ATM while rates are expected to fall.

You just need to match your gilt holdings in terms of maturity with your desired access date. They are a valid alternative for fixed term deposits (and vastly more tax efficient for higher earners)

Recently did that with my laptop. Replaced the battery and fans and reapplied thermal paste to the processor for £100.

My phone (£500/$500) was released in Nov 2017, bought in Feb 2018, and it's still just fine. Only recently have I been noticing the battery life is getting a bit pathetic. Spending £500 on a new one hasn't really entered my t

Just use std::variant<int*, ...> References in C++ are just sugary pointers.

Boost Fusion or Boost Hana + whatever serialization library you want to use is probably best imho.

A few code snippets of what you see as weaknesses of std::variant may be appropriate, as I couldn't figure out your complaint. Assigning to a variant taken by non-const& works fine for me. I personally would have liked to see recur

1) $200K isn't a very good retirement fund. 2) I'm afraid 7% above and beyond inflation is pretty optimistic going forward

Yep. 20% is about right for a 35-40 year career. The auto enrollment private pension minimum contribution in the UK is 8% (3% from the employer and 5% from the employee)...and its widely known that this is pathetically inadequate. It needs

C++ concepts have the same problem. In practice is a non-issue for the language because templates already had this issue. In old-school C++ you would probably handle this with traits. I.e. a specialization of a tag type that can be written

That's great, but protobufs is slow as shit. I wouldnt use it in games. If I was using something slow that needed flexibility I'd probably go with Avro since it has more powerful scheme evolution. If I wanted fast I'd probabl

As a Brit it's baffling that this is even an issue. I filed my taxes online with HMRC for free this year (we call it Self Assessment), it took 20 minutes, and I received a 4 figure refund in ~2 weeks directly in to my bank account.

Yeah it matters given how the whole argument falls on advanced aspects of the type system and templates. How can you speak with authority about a language you clearly aren't using day to day? I have never once missed the distance of an
