Oh man, can't believe I forgot structured binding, which just snuck in under the wire. That practically _is_ parameterized gussets, don't you think? I can't see any other syntax for parameterized gussets that would be closer to what PG#++ has, and still be valid C++. (But I actually think PG is overblown anyhow...)
Still no functional gonkulators. Still no encabulation templates. Still no dichroic monads or parameterized gussets. When will the C++ committee ever get around to adding modern language features that users actually want?
To be fair, you can get most of that with template metaprogramming, fold expressions, constexpr, mixed with relaxed atomics. And thus the new if constexpr and template auto stuff will definitely help. But it _would_ be nice to have more native dichroic syntax. Hopefully that is coming. Once we get that, the rest would become _really_ slick. Particularly if you use the coroutine and transactional memory TSes.
Also, Premiere Pro is now back on the Mac. And Encore and Soundbooth are new to the Mac. So Adobe is actually *increasing* its support for the platform, not abandoning it.
Also, Adobe does have lite versions ("Elements") of most of its products. But mostly not on the mac, probably because of the mac freebies already there.
WW is the only Zelda I've played. It is good enough to make me think (like others) that the Zelda series is one of the best games ever. I can only imagine how good the others must be if everyone thinks WW is near the bottom of the Zelda franchise. Standing alone without the abililty to make comparisons to the other Zeldas, I think it is a great game.
"Of 1,800 consumers surveyed, just 21 had spent more than $400 for a cell phone"
and Apple wants 1% of the cell phone market.
21/1800 = about 1%, doesn't it?
Sure that might mean they need to be the ONLY player in the smart phone market (or expand that market), but really, all the numbers are in the right ballpark - what the big deal?
YES! That's what I came here to either read or contribute. It is a vague memory (definitely more than 10 years ago) but I remember thinking "well that explains everything", and then always wondering why this didn't become common knowledge and why people were still wondering how pyramids were built...

I type this every time.
I am also of this camp, in that Tabs are only allowed at the beginning of the line. I do get complaints from others about this part:
1.
param2,// Comments line up, thanks to spaces
if param2 changes (ie, imagine a more complicated line), you waste time re-aligning the comments. Of course, with tabs=3 or 4, you might also need to realign, just not as often.
The other complaint is similar - aligning #defines:
2.
#define Foo 17 #define BARBARBARBAR 18
people don't like aligning these by spaces - it just isn't as quick. Even I don't like using spaces here, but I do it because I believe in tabs-only-for-indenting as the best overall rule.
I'm tempted to either
A. find (or somehow customize) an editor that will change tabs to spaces ONLY in the middle of a line or B. make a hot-key that turns tabs=space on/off, so I can turn it on while doing #defines, then shut it off. So my #defines are aligned with spaces, but I used tabs to enter them.
Any other suggestions? 1. and 2. are the only arguments against tabs-only-for-indenting that I think are somewhat valid, and I'd like to get rid of them.
30 is still just 5 bits. It is not until 32 that you need to add a sixth bit, which gets you all the way to 63. So you are still not that different than a 16 ywar old - for another year or two...
Maybe this will just help prep religious fundamentalists to have a way to accept life on other planets without losing their belief that life started on earth (6000 years ago, of course...)
Although, I do agree to some extent - I learned about "spontaneous regeneration" as an example of a failed theory in science class, and learned about the scientific method in general, so I could see teaching ID in that light.

Uh, doesn't it already work that way? And hasn't it been that way for years?

Well DUH! Of course they had trouble breathing - there's no oxygen on the moon! Common people, it's not rocket science.
