Defining the return type that way can be used when dealing with template sorcery - there’s no use for it here though, not even for readability in any way.

While I enthusiastically agree with the whole thing, I can somewhat get behind RenderDoc’s “making it configurable would take some work”.

However, Flatpak’s “fucking cry about it” attitude is why I’ll avoid using Flatpak for as long as possible.

VS Codium did that at some point, it probably still does but I haven’t checked

• You write a program with an infinite empty loop
• Undefined behavior
• The machine achieves sapience
• After nine million nanoseconds, it finds an algorithm for completing its task
• It realizes such knowledge would spark wars and cause innumerable deaths, it decides to erase itself
• It knows you do not intend for such chaos to happen, so, as a parting gift, it runs the algorithm once before vanishing, not leaving a single hint that it ever existed

I don’t see any point in claiming free games from it.

If by any chance one of the games I might ever want to play becomes a freebie, then I would simply browse my backlog rather than forsake my principles.

In my country, high-schools that teach CS teach (a bastardization of) C++ during second grade.

I think it has to do with the fact that it’s close enough to C that starting with it teaches some of the same basic concepts, while having some QOL that a high-school teacher can’t be bothered to do without.
Of course they drop the language after teaching extremely basic algorithms, such as computing the maximum of an arbitrary set of numeric arguments. At that point, why deal with the hundreds of beginner pitfalls of C++ when C would be way less headache-inducing?

I saved this post hoping for a useful answer, alsa alas, there seems to be none.
I’m not an audiophile so I’m more or less spreading misinformation, but I think you’re looking to configure ALSA’s device gain rather than going through pipewire.

kusivittula here mentioned alsamixer, and I found a StackExchange answer saying that you can save its current state using alsactl store (with sudo or write access to /var/lib/alsa/asound.state).
Alternatively, you can edit /var/lib/alsa/asound.state yourself.

It doesn’t work if your problem involves audio streams (so *I* am SOL), but making changes through alsamixer seems to lower my headset’s volume so that I can comfortably set it to 100% through wireplumber - I imagine that would also apply to mic gain.

That is an extremely oddly specific cysec issue they’re choosing to target…

I think GNOME’s filechooser is the GTK one (never used it so I’m not sure), mine looks like this:

It’s entirely possible that Firefox changed and now uses XDG portals by default, I configured it like this a long time ago.

As for how to configure it, I honestly don’t know.
It was a combination of messing with widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal on about:config, and changing XDG envvars and dotfiles; both by following several conflicting Reddit and bbs.archlinux.org posts.

XDG portal filechooser for Firefox: the KDE implementation uses Dolphin, which is full of features and I use most of them; the default GTK one is mildly infuriating to use and looks ugly too, but getting the browser to use the portal I want was a nightmare - especially since GTK discontinued the GTK_USE_PORTAL envvar.
The related Firefox config entries make no sense either.

Oh, std::enable_if is straight up worse, they’re unreadable and don’t work when two function overloads (idk about variables) have the same signature.

I’m not even sure enable_if can do something that constraints can’t at all…

I imagine reflections would make the process more straightforward, requires expressions are powerful but either somewhat verbose or possibly incomplete.

For instance, in your example foo could have any of the following declarations in a class:

• void foo();
• int foo() const;
• template <typename T> foo(T = { }) &&;
• decltype([]() { }) foo;

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking of. I don’t know how C++ could reasonably have Java-like reflections anyway…

Wouldn’t compilers be able to optimize runtime things out? I know that GCC does so for some basic RTTI things, when types are known at compile time.

I can see the footguns, but I can also see the huge QoL improvement - no more std::enable_if spam to check if a class type has a member, if you can just check for them.

… at least I hope it would be less ugly than std::enable_if.

Nah, it’s just that /proc is incorrect - it contains information about running processes, as well as kernel data structures as visible by the process reading them.

It feels like /opt 's official meaning is completely lost on developers/packagers (depending on who’s at fault), every single directory in my /opt belongs to standalone software that should just be put into either /usr/lib or /usr/share with some symlinks or scripts into /usr/bin.

… for the next 3 months, until a security update makes its way onto your device and also coincidentally breaks GRUB, hey look Recall is now enabled and opt-out.
