Every time they turn on their laptops I hope they say “thanks dad”.

@matt.godbolt.org We haven’t met but I’d like to invite you into an exclusive Boo’d-by-Hana support group. At C++Now last year she boo’d me when I said I quite like Rust. 😂 (Highlight of the conference for me!)

Blue Sky should find a way to survey their users to see if the majority wants that feature.

I like picturing floating point as a continuous number line with various non-uniform steps/stops showing which of the real numbers can actually be represented, whereby any real number in between 2 stops has to 'jump' to one nearby, as if the steps are magnets.

Do 'step', 'stop', 'magnet' work?

Super keen for this!

It's the pressing issue of our times, a shortcut to future success, and I'd expect nothing less from a keynote speaker...

Have you looked at llvm.org/docs/LibFuzz... ?

Apparently by the original authors who eventually moved on to FuzzTest.
libFuzzer – a library for coverage-guided fuzz testing. — LLVM 20.0.0git documentation

Clearly the integration feature didn't make the cut

Now I just need to figure out how to combine the cardio & strength training, while not completely disappearing from my wife & kids!

5am gym time may be the next step... 🫣

So I switched to doing lots of cardio-style cycling/running and within a couple of weeks it cleared all the pain away. My back feels great from doing the cycling/running, but I don't get the same endorphin hit that I get from the strength training... (contd)

So I joined a gym and focused on strength training with a push/pull/legs split. Even though I was noticeably stronger and also getting the huge endorphin buzz (see also: Arnie on 'the pump'), the back pain didn't completely go away ... (contd)

In my 20s & 30s, despite sitting at a computer for ~40 hrs/week, I played lots of team sports and didn't have any pain problems from a sedentary work life.

Now in my 40s, about 1 year after giving up the sport (also, being older), I started getting intense back pain from lack of movement... (contd)

They must require a lot of heat and pressure to make their coffees
