Sorry, but I just get sick of people pontificating about the academics of type systems and monadics. Bored me to death. std::optional<> is an extremely useful and welcome addition to C++ that improves code quality, is easy to underst

It's almost certainly not medicine or nutrition. I know romanticising the advancement of humanity gives us a nerd-on but the reality is it's probably just that our grandparents lead gruelingly hard lives on average and that showe

You wouldn't be able to skip the 5 char/4 byte requirement, you'd just be able to strip 0x00 bytes from the end. That actually complicates things, since you then need to specify in the spec whether handling that is a requirem

It was only about 150 years old, and it was planted by the landowner. There are Oaks in my parents garden older than this, but that's not really the point

Went through this recently. Spent around 4 hours doing a coding homework, followed by 7 interviews, then ghosted for a few days. Chased, and it was then a "thank you for your time, no ta" email.
