This year I had the chance to attend three conferences onsite, plus one online, and even a meetup in my hometown, Budapest. Depending on who you ask, maybe it’s not a lot — I know some speakers do ...

If there’s one clock in <chrono> that causes the most confusion, it’s std::chrono::high_resolution_clock. The name sounds too tempting — who wouldn’t want “the highest resolution”? But like m...

What a year I had! One more conference, one more trip report! I had the chance to go to Meeting C++ and give not just one but two talks! I remember that last year I said that Berlin in November is...
Pragma unroll
After conferences, I often write a couple of short articles about features or techniques I learned about, even if I don’t always find them particularly useful in my own work. At a recent talk, And...
Three Meanings of Reference
Conferences are a great source of inspiration, partly trought talks and partly trough the best track, the hallway track. I already mentioned that at CppCon one of my favourite talks was the one by ...
