Bank of America Unlimited Cash Rewards for the win :) My only regret is not realizing sooner that it existed since I used the Citi Double Cash card for so long.

It makes me think of the how "I have thirst" is the literal translation from the French for "I'm thirsty."

The Abseil time library makes time and date parsing and manipulation a lot nicer in C++: https://abseil.io/docs/cpp/guides/time

I reviewed a CL from Hyrum at Google where he was trying to remove a `set_timeout(float)` method in favor of `set_timeout(absl::Duration)` and changed the former to delegate to the latter. It turned out that there was some special handling of inf/nan in the legacy API, despite no mention in the documentation, and his CL broke a number of tests. It was amusing to experience Hyrum's law so directly :)

Something else to consider is compile time versus runtime validation with formatting libraries, e.g. due to passing the wrong number or type of arguments. The Abseil str_format library does compile time validation for both when possible: https://abseil.io/docs/cpp/guides/format

I wish I could find the article I read a while ago on the history, but it reminds me of how "nauseous" ended up becoming synonymous with "nauseated."

Sorry, I didn't check comments for a while. The target date funds tend to have higher management fees and yes, worse composition of stocks versus bonds compared to holding a mix yourself, IMO, based on your goals.

FYI you may be better off using an index fund and then rebalancing into bonds or other fixed income options closer to retirement. See this article, for example. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/13/one-of-the-biggest-retiremen...

That would also be interesting to analyze: which de facto attributes do people add because they think they're needed to pass an initial screening?
