I thought most of it was stock options?

Yes, past presidents have gradually expanded the power of the position beyond any reasonableness over time.

Fair enough, I do love being contrarian

I think you missed the whole point of my comment 😂. Regardless, the time spent compiling a small snippet of code is completely negligible. In the end, both #if 0 and if (false) have their complimentary uses.

The problem is everyone disagrees on what part of C++ is good... Some like C+classes. Some like intense meta programming and some like functional programming and all are valid C++ that people advocate for.

If (false) is good because it is compiled so it doesn't get stale.

Even in C this is possible. Just wrap the float or whatever in a struct and all implicit conversions will be gone.

API from a call that accepted integer values between 0 and 32767 (minimum and maximum wheel speeds) to one that accepted float values between 0.0 and 1.0.

This would cause alarm bells to ring in my head for sure. If I did something like that I would make a new type that was definitely not implicitly castable to or from the old type. Definitely not a raw integer or float type.

I can't believe that the std C++ implementations performance is this bad!

I can't tell if you are sarcastic or serious. Population growth is slowing globally so it's not like there is an infinite supply of young people.

This is a holy war that I will gladly fight again and again! I can't believe that soft tabs are more popular, especially in python!

Besides the acute lead poisoning from being shot apparently.
