You can hear the engineer in that second question. They hear a wild statistic pulled out of someone's ass and ask what is that sticking to the side?

That is normal on his blog. He is a brand that he has developed over many years, and he is constantly promoting that brand.

Yes, he has done a lot of good work in the past, but he has put as much effort into self-promotion and landed a series of interesting and well-paying gigs.

I can't blame him for that. It just makes me tired to watch.

The funny part is that the Tesla doesn't have a basic dumb cruise control. It only has "traffic-aware" cruise control which uses the cameras and doesn't use the new FSD code so it has lots of glitches and phantom braking and decides for itself what speed to use. My wife just wants to set the speed and have the car go that speed.

This kind of work is really valuable and much needed. There is also often a surprising amount of friction to making contributions to open source projects. This article did a good job and highlighting some of those difficulties and friction. But improvements to the official documentation is so much better than standalone blog posts to explain confusing concepts.

So, thank you Julia & Marie for persevering and making a solid contribution.

Indeed. When I entered "grandma's cookies" into the shared family instance is 'mealie' I was sure to include a copy of the "original" index card. (surely a copy) https://imgur.com/KMSuUhz

That card was has several fun comments and lots of history to my siblings who added to the crustiness of this card.

The original card I remember said to use lard or you can use margarine if you "haven't slaughtered a hog recently".

The recipe in mealie was modernized and tested more.

For reference here is the cppreference page the OP is trying to improve: https://cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support.html

Personally I am not not sure the live search on this new page saves me time, but perhaps if you added the ability to only show missing features it could be useful. For example if I could pick that I am interested in c++23 and earlier and that I use gcc-14 and clang-16 it should list the features that won't work for me. That would be useful compared to trying to scan the full list.

You are doing a pretty huge service to the IPFS project just by trying to use it at this scale. I would love a blog post giving your experiences using it. One of my main complaints about IPFS is that it is very hard to have visibility into the project if you are not willing to follow all the github issues.
