My paper P1144 “Object relocation in terms of move plus destroy” is still on R5 as of this writing, but I hope to publish P1144R6 Real Soon Now. I recently updated my Clang fork on p1144.godbolt.org to reflect the changes in R6.
2022-05-16 – Why Northern Ireland Has No Flag
via Sam Enright
I love flags. The power of a piece of cloth to motivate people to fight, revere, or weep is inherently interesting. Flag design is also a constrained optimisation problem: how do you trade off symbolism and simplicity in a rectangle (or weird double trian…

You can now try out the programming language I first teased over a year ago
and tell me what you think. I hope you like it! I’m
quite pleased with it so far.

My new AirPods Pro (AirPod Pros? Airpods Pros? Pro AirPods? What a stupid name!) were delivered a week ago. Here’s an update… I GOT RID OF THEM! Yep, that’s right. ... More -->
2022-05-14 – A Hare code generator for finding ioctl numbers
via Drew DeVault's blog
Modern Unix derivatives have this really bad idea called ioctl. It’s a
function which performs arbitrary operations on a file descriptor. It is
essentially the kitchen sink of modern Unix derivatives, particularly Linux, in
which they act almost like a secon…
2022-05-12 – Alloy of Law (Mistborn 4)
via Kev Quirk
I was struggling between giving this 2 and 3 stars. While I really enjoyed the original Mistborn trilogy, but Alloy of Law failed to captivate me in the same way. ... More -->

those packages directly t…
2022-05-10 – Pages that didn't make it into "How DNS Works"
via Julia Evans
Hello! A couple weeks ago I released a new zine called How DNS Works.
When I started writing that zine (in, uh, January 2021), I originally had in
mind a broader zine on “everything you need to know to own a domain”. So it had
a bunch of pages on domain regi…
2022-05-07 – CNC milling machine project
via jes's blog
I recently picked up an unfinished CNC milling machine project on eBay.
All the mechanical work is done, and almost all of the electronics is
supplied, it's mostly just wiring and software still to do, which for me are the
easiest parts.

via Arthur O’Dwyer
As of this writing, Chris Di Bella is running a survey on /r/cpp asking what are the biggest pain points with Clang’s diagnostics. In the free-form text entry field, I made two observations, which I’m now expanding into a full-fledged blog post. (Don’t wo…
