The third update to my book on modules is now available. This update features an in-depth exploration of modules, covering all the declarations, their usage, and the components in a module file. I still aim to release the final version by the end of May.

I am writing a book titled "A Pragmatic Journey into C++ Modules." It is a work in progress, but since I'm publishing on LeanPub, I can release an early version and update it periodically. Early readers can also obtain it at a discount, and proofread it for me.

I consider libertarianism the wet dream of 14 year old boys who shout, "You can't make me."
Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

It's a complex scientific figure, but it shows the number of times a location has burned in SoCal and which kind of fire it was: one burning under Santa Ana winds, or one that was a fuel-driven fire without Santa Ana winds. Malibu burned at least 8 times from 1948-2017, and has burned 2x since.

I completed "Claw Contraption" - Day 13 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode. It was a challenge because I was traveling, so I didn't have much uninterrupted time to work on it. Getting Part 1 to work using doubles for the calculations and then checking using integers took some time.

After a few hassles with regex I just completed "Ceres Search" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2024.
My first approach was to read the data into a string and remove the newlines. But that allowed XM\nAS sequences to be matched. The sample worked but not the main data.

Day 4, Part 1, is frustrating. After using regex for Day 3, I decided it would be interesting to use it on Day 4. While I know little about regex details, I know some of what can be done.
It worked for the sample but is too low on the primary data. 1/

Trump is now < 50%, and leads Harris < 2%. This election was extremely close.
That margin will have enormous consequences. But it’s small enough that instead of debating which vulnerable groups and standards of decency Dems should abandon, they could just focus on how to better defend both.
