Follow-up: Float Toy

Ivor Hewitt told me about a cool website called Float Toy. It allows you to visualise the binary representation of floating-point numbers of various sizes. You can toggle individual bits in sign, exponent and mantissa parts and see how it affects the represented value.

Why Another C++ (And More™) Conference?

JeanHeyd Meneide (Reddit)

CoSy - Computing Systems Technology Conference

Website

CoSy (pronounced like “cozy”) is a Systems Programming Conference:

Broad scope (C++, C, Rust, Zig, FORTH, Nim, OCaml etc.)
Double-blind submission reviews

Of course, it’s not always possible to double-blind everything! If someone writes a submission about how they wrote a Great Book On Large Scale Software Architecture That’s Really Good And Helps You Modularize And Structure Large Software And The Sequel Is Out You Should Buy It Now, they have vastly reduced the pool of people they could be talking about.

Easily currying functions in C++

 1// Existing, non-curried function
 2auto f(int a, int b, int c) noexcept -> int {
 3    return a * b * c;
 4}

 6auto g = fn::curry(f); // g is the curried form of f
 7
 8int main() {
 9    return g(2)(5)(10); // returns 100

C++ is kind of like quantum physics: the more you understand it the less you understand it. #
