It makes perfect sense actually. I did write another comment here if you are interested.
This is how operator overloads were written going back to the initial version of C++ back in 1985. The only new thing is that we can now add = default to get the compiler to generate a default implementation that compares all the member variables for you.
Maybe to a non C++ dev, but a lot of C++ is probably incomprehensible to a non C++ dev, just like there are other laguages that are incomprehensible to C++ devs. To me it makes perfect sense as it works just like all the other operator overloads.
auto - let the compiler deduce return type
operator<=> - override the spaceship operator (pretty sure it exists in python too)
(const ClassName&) - compare this class, presumably defined in Class name, with a const reference of type Class name, i.e. its own type.
const - comparison can be made for const objects
= default; - Use the default implementation, which is comparing all the member variables.
An alternate more explicit version, which is actually what people recommend:
auto operator<=>(const ClassName&, const ClassName&) = default;
if I just want to have less than comparison for example I would:
This one makes it explicit that you’re comparing two Class name objects.
if I just want to have less than comparison for example I would:
auto operator<(const ClassName&, const ClassName&) = default;
If I need to compare against another class I could define:
auto operator<(const ClassName&, const OtherClass&)
You mean copy/move constructor and assignment operator?
Unless you have any special handling the ones generated by the compiler automatically should work just fine. But if you do have to define them for some reason (which is becoming increasingly rare) you would need to define both if you need both copy/move construction and copy/move assignment.
I do appreciate how newer C++ standards have made these kinds of things a lot easier too.
Define all comparison operators with just one one line using C++20
auto operator<=>(const ClassName&) const = default;
Tens of billions is technically correct since in the last year US spent about 2 tens of billions, I.e. $20 billion, or about 2.5% of the annual military budget on Israel.
Could also be the first women president vs 4th worst president of all time.
edit: actually shared 3rd worst, shares with Franklin Pierce
While still to the right of center of the political compass, I do really like how much closer to the center Walz is than the other and previous candidates.
Not to defend them too much and I have to admit that I don’t know much about the details which bills were priorities during the 4 months that Obama has house, senate and Presidency.
What I did read a while back was that Obama didn’t know how long his supermajority would last and some of the things he wanted he wanted done but couldn’t once he lost the house.
I agree that Palestine is an important issue, do you have any suggestions on how to improve the situation?
USA is a very pro Israel county and the further right you get the more pro-israel you get.
Once both Democrats and Republicans are right wing parties it’s not news to anyone that they support Israel.
Edit: If you are pro-palestine, I suggest you vote as far left as you can (which at the moment realistically only is Democrats) and contact your congressman/women to let them know what your views on these issues are.
These are only damning comments if you have the views that Biden’s presidency had been a disaster. So of course Republicans and their news would write negative articles and a Democratic news source would show it as Harris having worked with Biden to get things done.
Nothing to see here really, all Biden said I’d say that they work together for a common goal.
Isn’t politics all about coming together, making compromises and try to agree what’s best for the country?
For those who attack Fox news as a source they have a point, you won’t get factual news from there, it will be very skewed to the right and they will make a story out of nothing for clicks.
The 1960s had political engagement and division, no one’s denying that.
However it was surpassed in 2020 which was a record year for turnout of 66.8% of eligible voters. Specifically, 90.6% of eligible women were registered, and about 68.4% of them actually voted. Women outpaced men in both categories. Young voters, especially young women, were a big part of that surge.
Trump lost big then, imagine now with all the news about record registrations how much he might lose by now. Personally I think it would be very funny to see Harris break 100M votes,. Can you imagine how angry Trump would be :)
Also younger voters, especially young women are much more invested in politics and more likely to vote than ever.
I haven’t even read your post, just copy pasted it into chatgpt o1 preview model and it said this:
Based on your detailed recollections, I believe the book you’re searching for may be one of the anthologies by Ruth Manning-Sanders, particularly those illustrated by Robin Jacques. Here’s why:
“A Book of Ghosts and Goblins” (1968): This collection features a variety of eerie tales from around the world, all retold by Manning-Sanders. The stories often involve witches, ghosts, and other supernatural beings.
“A Book of Witches” (1965): This anthology includes tales specifically about witches, which might correlate with your memory of a sea-witch draped in seaweed.
“A Book of Mermaids” (1967): Given the sea theme and possible illustrations of underwater scenes, this book could also be a contender.
Art Style: Jacques is renowned for his intricate pen-and-ink drawings with heavy linework and detailed crosshatching, which matches your description.
Depictions: His illustrations often have a gothic and eerie feel, featuring classic elements like willow trees, cliffside scenes, and supernatural creatures.
Sample Illustrations:
Diver and Sea-Witch: While I can’t access specific images, Jacques’ work frequently includes mythical and maritime elements that could involve divers and sea-witches.
Creepy Willow Trees and Gothic Cliffs: His landscapes are detailed and atmospheric, possibly aligning with the images you remember.
Binding: Many editions of Manning-Sanders’ books from the 60s and 70s came with green or teal bindings, especially after losing their dust jackets.
Publication Era: The books were published in the mid to late 60s, fitting your timeframe of “old but not ancient.”
Age Appropriateness: These books were marketed as children’s literature but often contained darker themes and illustrations that could slip past less attentive parents.
Combination of Elements: The combination of maritime tales, witches, and eerie illustrations matches the key elements you recall.
Illustrator’s Style: The pen-and-ink crosshatching and gothic atmosphere in Jacques’ illustrations seem to align closely with your memories.
I’m still doing hybrid work, going to the office 3 times a week in Sydney. I pay the equivalent of €66 a month. If I was doing full time in the office it would be €110 a month. I would also love a €58 euro monthly ticket.
Looks interesting. I do have a Linux machine for work due to software requirements. I will have a look at void.
I went from using slackware late 90s early 00 to Mac OSX in early/mid 00. When coming back to Linux late 00 early 10s I was so disappointed in the Linux distros. I tried Ubuntu but was very disappointed in the lack of newer versions of third party software in their repo. Tried Arch for a while and while packages were up to date, every now and then the OS updates would mess something up and I had to start troubleshooting.
It might be better now, but I eventually gave up and went to FreeBSD about 10 years ago. Stable base and separate up to date third party feels like the best of both worlds. Not sure if any llinux distro offers something like that now. No snap, no flatpack, just a base os and up to third party date packages.
On a post about Trump saying that Haitians are taking other people’s pets and eating them, you said:
Millions of dogs and cats are eaten around the world yearly.
This is a fact, and we can come to certain conclusions.
You can’t blame people from thinking that you are inferring that Trump is telling the truth.
But we’ve come to the conclusion now that Trump is indeed lying and Haitians aren’t stealing people’s pets and eating them. Has it ever happened anywhere? Very possible. Is it currently happening in Springfield? No.
To expand your analogy to the house on how the rich used their unrealised gains.
You buy a house and it appreciates in value. You bowwow money against the capital gains and use that to live on. Your house price goes up further, generating more capital gains that you can now bowwow against to pay back your previous loan.
edit: also since you’re so filthy rich the banks give you really low interest rates, way less than tax would have been.
I tried to look this up but I couldn’t find much. The “worst” I found was this:
Where are you reading that people are saying that it’s worse than twitter? Is it right wing people that are saying that because they put emphasis on inclusivity and respect?
