@mcc I'm a support character. The protagonist is gonna need their techno-babble bordering on phlebotinum solution at a key moment and somebody has to have spent months on it in advance for it to be believable (even though there was no clear reason it would be important) That somebody is me.

C Meeting adjourned. Pretty much nothing I was happy about made it through, including things I did and did not work on. For the things I was responsible for...

-- thephd.dev/_vendor/future_cxx/

Sized strings are not important to the Committee for C, and printf will remain printing with (int) casts. There was no direction to continue, but some said they'd change their vote if I implemented it and came back to show it was a low-cost, simple implementation.

-- thephd.dev/_vendor/future_cxx/

Closures had some direction to continue but faces extreme opposition because (most) implementers want to either (a) ignore captures altogether and do something with no local state; (b) standardize no-captures and promise to do something maybe, later. Tough.

All the other papers I was happy about on the agenda didn't get anywhere, and some of the issue resolutions went the way I didn't like, but it's not really worth mentioning because I'm not a Big Implementation (and apparently, not a Real C Person). Not much I say can matter.

I think vendors want to close C down basically, as a sort of thermostatic backlash to the various changes being proposed and from so much being one in C23. I can't really stop that and it's unfortunately bad because there's various "simple" proposals that have long-term consequences.

But we're not really illuminating those consequences in discussion or papers right now. I have a lot of papers right now that'd just be "there are betters ways to do this, please let's think about this" and I'm kind of tired just from thinking about it.

Maybe I'll be a more effective advocate next meeting. Who knows.

I also realize everyone is going to continue to clown on me as being a C++ person no matter how much expertise I have/gain in C, so I think I have to implement a compiler or do a complex renounciation-of-C++ post of something before people evaluate my work on its technical merits purely. It also doesn't help that most changes I am working on tackle significantly large areas that I always get "eww, C++" as a default reaction, even for things like defer, which is -- generally -- pretty annoying.

Knee-jerk Anti-C++ hatred is wearing on me. Worst part is, nobody properly communicates what's C++-centric about anything we standardized, other than the spellings. They don't even read the history of their own features. E.g., __auto_type and auto coming from C first, because it was implemented for macro shenanigans while C++ was still goo-goo-gaa-gaa and using typedef typename foo::typename bar:: typename baz;-style crap and didn't realize the goodness of type deduction until 10 years after __auto_type was making for clean C macros. But no, no, it's a "C++ invention", and you can't convince them otherwise.

Brutal to have to live with it and deal with.

I'll figure something out, eventually.

It is a good thing that Cherry Red Records doesn't give me a convenient option for "buy all Hawkwind albums that we carry¹", because I would be awfully tempted to press it even though I have a bunch of those albums on CD already.

¹ This cannot in any way be described as "Hawkwind's entire discography" because the rights situation there is … complicated.

とある寺の池、午後の陽が差して光輝く。鯉がその中を泳ぐ。周りの緑が反射して色を添える。午後のひとときをゆったりと過ごす。

中国经济在2025年出现了两种截然相反的叙事。一种叙事是中国外贸顺差破万亿美元，新能源车横扫欧洲，科技发展赶超美国，中国制造势不可挡，另一种叙事是公务员欠薪、医院亏损、年轻人失业、房价暴跌，经济正在进入历史垃圾时间。

这两种叙事哪一种才是真相，这两个看似矛盾的现实如何同时存在？本期节目嘉宾是YouTube频道“世界苦茶”主理人李厚辰。长期追踪中国经济和政治议题的李厚辰，会如何解读中国经济的矛盾状态？他为什么认为出口越强劲，财政压力越大？如果经济绩效变差，中共的执政合法性还能持续吗？未来五年，中国经济最可能的走向有什么，习近平可能会向经济规律低头吗？以及普通人能在这个时代如何应对？
