Episode 139 of CppCast the only podcast for C++ developers by C++ developers. In this episode Rob and Jason are joined by Conor Hoekstra to discuss Competive Coding websites and competitions.
CppCast Episode 139: Competitive Coding with Conor Hoekstra
by Rob Irving and Jason Turner
About the interviewee:
Conor Hoekstra works at Moody's Analytics as a C++ Software Developer helping maintain and develop an insurance software program called AXIS. Wanting to develop better algorithm and data structure knowledge he started using online sites like HackerRank and LeetCode to do so. He now has a YouTube channel where he reviews the contests from the last week of Competitive Coding sites like HackerRank, LeetCode, topcoder and Codeforces) and also covers solutions to the trickier problems.

A cake for your cherry: what should go in the C++ standard library?
by Corentin Jabot
From the article
Over the past few years there has been a push to include a graphics library into the C++ standard. It would be something a bit like cairo. Or SDL.
I do think this is a path that should not be pursued. Let me tell you why...

C++Now 2018 Accepting Student / Volunteer Applications
From the announcement:
It is my pleasure to announce the sixth year of the C++Now Student/Volunteer program! We are again inviting students with an interest in C++ to attend the May 6-11, 2018 conference in Aspen, CO as Student/Volunteers.
The Student/Volunteer program is an excellent way for students and young coders with an interest in C++ to learn about language and make lasting connections with the community.
Student/Volunteers will receive free registration and a travel stipend for their travel and lodging.
Volunteers will handle various tasks during the conference, such as assisting presenters, setting up presentation rooms, running A/V equipment, and helping with breaks and the conference picnic.
Students from all fields of study are welcome to apply. However, this conference covers advanced C++ topics, and applicants should have ample experience with the C++ programming language and be familiar with general computer science topics.
Applications will be accepted until March 9th, 2018. Application decisions will be sent out by March 16th, 2018.

A few months ago, Bjarne Stroustrup received one of the most distinguished engineering prizes in the world: the Faraday medal.
Last night, the U.S. National Academy of Engineering (NAE) presented Stroustrup with the United States' top engineering honor, the Charles Stark Draper Prize, for his work designing and implementing the C++ programming language. (Note: This is the second Draper prize awarded for a programming language; the first was to John Backus for Fortran, awarded in 1993.)
Please join us in congratulatating Dr. Stroustrup! He is the reason we are all here, and able to do what we do every day as C++ developers.
From the announcement:
Stroustrup’s development of C++ has helped bridge the gap between a problem and its computing elements through the use of visualization for engineers and members of varying disciplines, such as biologists, medical doctors, mathematicians, economists and politicians.
Stroustrup, a visiting professor in computer science at Columbia University, was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2004. He is a fellow of IEEE, the Association of Computing Machinery, the Computer History Museum and Churchill College, Cambridge, and is managing director in the technology division of Morgan Stanley in New York City.
The Charles Stark Draper Prize is a $500,000 biannual award that honors engineers whose accomplishments have significantly benefited society. It is considered the Nobel Prize of engineering.
C++ revolutionized the software industry by enabling a variety of software development techniques, including object-oriented programming, generic programming and general resource management, to be deployed at industrial scale. According to industry analysts, C++ is one of the most widely used programming languages in the world, with applications in communications, computer graphics, games, user interfaces, embedded systems, financial systems, medical systems, avionics, scientific computation and many other areas.

With the next standardisation meeting coming up, now is a good time to consider what the limits of the standard library should be.
Batteries not included: what should go in the C++ standard library?
By Guy Davidson
From the article:
About forty Christmases ago I was absolutely delighted to open a slot car racing set from my parents. I feverishly set everything up, created a track reminiscent of Brands Hatch, and went to plug everything in, only to discover that I needed batteries to operate the controllers. This was Great Britain in the 1970s...
