That’s what I thought too. The author appears to have tried every obvious debugging step, except for switching away from US Mobile. I’ve been using US Mobile myself for a little over a year, and I remember a period of about 2-3 months where

Nicely done! I thought I was cool when I soldered my kit keyboard from KBDFans; now I gotta step up my game! Do you have a .GIF for that rotating rainbow effect, or a sound test?

I spotted this while reading a wonderful account of the history of 3d graphics in games at https://www.filfre.net/2023/05/the-next-generation-in-graphi... ; I thought it was worth sharing!

Would you care to elaborate on what went wrong? The other comments here make ‘automatic emergency braking’ sound like a really good idea, and it’s hard for me to imagine that this particular feature would be so problematic. If you’re talkin

You don’t need to lower the optimization level to see what happens at the call site: you can turn the function ‘blub’ into a function prototype. The optimizer cannot in-line your code if it isn’t available. https://www.godbolt.or

If you build your visitor out of lambdas, instead of a struct, you can propagate local state to the visitor easily by using lambda captures. There are good examples of this approach at https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp&

Until C++2z rolls out with match support, you can roll your own. Nikolai Wuttke gave a lecture at MeetingCpp 2018 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CELWr9roNno ) that presents code that lets you do this: // Cl
