"Allegro" Means Both Fast and Happy. Coincidence? - Andrei Alexandrescu

The Italian C++ Conference 2019 keynote:

"Allegro" Means Both Fast and Happy. Coincidence?

by Andrei Alexandrescu

About the video:

Sorting and searching. Two fundamental tasks in Computer Science, and definitely among the most studied. Efficient algorithms for sorting and searching are now taught in core undergraduate classes. Are they at their best, or is there more blood to squeeze from that stone? This talk will explore a few less known – but more allegro! – variants of classic algorithms.

The voting on which talks should make it to Meeting C++ 2019 has begun

by Jens Weller

From the article:

With today, you can start to vote on all 120 submitted talks for Meeting C++ 2019!

With 120 talks submitted by 82 speakers, there is a lot to vote on. You don't have to vote on all talks, the order of talks is randomized, so as long as enough folks vote on a few talks, every talk should get a fair number of votes. You can vote for every talk between 0 - 5, where 5 is the best vote you can give. Also its possible to leave a comment and feedback for the speaker. The deadline to cast your votes is the last day of June.

A common problem with a common solution made easier.

strong_typedef - Create distinct types for distinct purposes

by Anthony Williams

From the article:

One common problem in C++ code is the use of simple types for many things: a std::string might be a filename, a person's name, a SQL query string or a piece of JSON; an int could be a count, an index, an ID number, or even a file handle. In his 1999 book "Refactoring" (which has a second edition as of January 2019), Martin Fowler called this phenomenon "Primitive Obsession", and recommended that we use dedicated classes for each purpose rather than built-in or library types...

Core C++ 2019 Trip Report

by Anastasia Kazakova

From the article:

More and more C++ events, community meetups, and conferences are appearing around the globe. 2019 is definitely looking like a year for new C++ conferences. Take, for example, C++ on Sea (UK, in February) or the upcoming CPPP (France, in June). Even C++ Russia now has two editions per year – one in Moscow and one in St. Petersburg. And, finally, there’s the event we just visited – Core C++, held in Tel Aviv, Israel...
