I think the C++11 edition (whichever it was) of Stroustrup's book TC++PL suggested using C++11 immediately. That is what I would have suggested. I used C++ by necessity in a few projects before that, but I didn't start actually somewhat liking it until C++11. Everything before that was ugly legacy code.

They want to obsolete all our phones again? No thanks.

When C++11 came out, there was an immediate feeling that the language had received a major overhaul and the best ways to do most things had completely changed. Everything from before that was legacy code, though a lot of it was around. I expect it is still mostly like that.

Or do you mean about Rust? Yes that is new. I still don't understand the attraction of Rust over Ada that well.

It is perfectly ok to start with C++14, in fact probably preferable to starting with anything before C++11. The idioms changed a lot in C++11. I think changes since then have been minor and incremental by comparison.

I don't think it's possible to make C++ safe without strictly limiting the user program to a subset of the language. There are guidelines for that (https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines) but even when I try to code in that style, I get to debug crashes the usual way. C++ makes some optimizations possible through e.g. move semantics that are absent from Rust and Ada but I wonder if it really matters these days. Rust seems to be displacing C++ for lots of new projects going forward.

There is already a subscribed tab, and I use it most of the time when I want to catch up on selected topics. I use the local or all feed when I want to browse a wider view of what's going on in general. Right now the total amount of Lemmy traffic is small enough that browsing that way is tolerable, which it wouldn't be e.g. on reddit.

I do think that the Lemmy software design is more meme-oriented than I'd prefer, because of stuff like the thumbnail pic with every post in the main feeds. The more interesting parts of reddit to me were text-only and we don't have that here.

I'd like the feed to be adjusted so that if there are a bunch of posts from the same community not too far apart from each other chronologically, to group them all together. Alternatively, a way to block communities showing in your front page view without blocking them completely. It's not just memes, there are a bunch of other topics that also clutter up the front page constantly. Even things like news reports in Dutch, which are perfectly legit except I can't read them, would be less annoying with this type of feature.

He is the one guy who doesn't have to worry about the Spanish Inquisition. Cardinal Fang!

Wait you mean you don't cook the oats? Oats (the old fashioned 30 minute kind) cook nicely for me in 4 minutes in an instant pot, but no cooking sounds even better.

I knew a vegan activist who breastfed her kid so I figure from that, it is ok.

As I understand it, the interest income is tax deferred while it is still in the IRA. So over a long period it can appreciate a lot more than if taxes were being taken out every year.
