So we got our second booster shots today. I am not totally sure it was necessary, but I don't want to take unnecessary risks at our age. We never got infected with the virus, despite having been exposed to relatives who were positive on several occasions. I credit the vaccine for that good fortune. 
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

which vaccine booster did you get?
I will get booster this friday...
diligent hands rule....

Pfizer

I have gotten both of the first two boosters.
I am looking to get the third booster, yes I am that old. SWMBO WANTS ME TO HOLD OFF!
I have had the Pfizer vaccine with no bad effects. She on the other hand got sick as a dog. There are advantages to being a big Oaf!

We got ours 2 days ago and just today feeling better.
My SO spent all yesterday in bed with fever and feeling crappy.
I spent the day suffering in silence, reading and working on a project as headache permitted.

We have had our THIRD shot and the doc said not to bother with the fourth. As we are also plague free we are happy to have been jabbed.
In Cairns we have a bunch of idjits that display signs next to the highway promoting freedom and anti vax crap, they ask you to honk to support them. I am yet to hear anyone use their horn (I have seen a few birdies out the window).

I'm starting to wonder if we really have a vaccine against this virus or if these "vaccines" are aimed at the spike proteins created by the virus.

In India, those of us in the age group 18 to 60 have just become eligible for our first booster shot. Need to get it done one of these days.

GCC reports different versions for different platforms, meaning I can't compare the version of GCC i'm running on windows with the one that's running at Travis-CI.
The trouble is my code compiles fine locally, but fails at travis-CI and compiler version differences are the only things I can think of at this point that would explain it.
I was hoping to optimize my C++14 rendition of my GFX code a little, and bring it up to par with the C++17 version but the g++ compiler at travis-CI will not eat my code no matter how I coax it.
I'm completely stumped and frustrated because my morning started on an optimistic note - i saw an opportunity for optimization - and I was rewarded with broken build after broken build. 
EDIT: AHA Was told how to update the distro running at travis-CI and it worked.

C++11 FTW. 
|
|
|
|

The problem with that is C++11's ability to evaluate at compile time is extremely limited compared to later versions of C++, and I routinely open a dialogue with the compiler in my code. Basically, my code relies heavily on compile time evaluation of complicated expressions - even bit shifts that aren't byte aligned. You just can't do it with C++11 or I would have. C++14 is the lowest one I can target to get the features that I need.
To do what I'm doing in C++11 is simply not possible. My code could not function the way that it does now. There's simply not language support for it.

I'm glad to see that you updated your original post to say you got this sorted. Now I don't feel so guilty for trolling.

GCC is a ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) joke. Easily the worst compiler I had the displeasure of using, and I compiled VB6 software. The fact that linker arguments have to be passed in a specific order if a library calls some other library is the most bonkers "feature" I ever saw, and the error messages passed by the compiler are gibberish when compared to... well any other compiler out there (MSVC, Intel, GreenHills, Keil to name a few).

GCC is a fine compiler. It also happens to have a pluggable backend meaning it's a much better cross compiler than most other offerings
In my opinion MSVC is garbage I don't even target it with my code, and which is probably why VS supports clang now.
But of course we'll never agree on this.

UML diagrams are useful for documenting an architecture--how classes collaborate. Beyond that, I look for good interface and implementation comments. Markup like Doxygen is noise that gives me gas. Comments should be in proper sentences that describe what code is going to do (interface comments) and how it's going to do it (the main focus of implementation comments). Comments that describe a few lines at a time are often annoying, no different than people who constantly interrupt. It's usually better to comment larger blocks of code.

I write technical articles on using my code, with code examples. On top of that, I often generate reference docs using a tool like doxygen.
I find that creating a technical article not only makes it easier for people to get their feet under them using it (at least I think so), it also helps me later to flesh out an outline of the major components of the software, which then evolves into a table contents. Finally that becomes master documentation.
Tools like Doxygen can only supplement. They don't generate useful enough documentation on their own, except maybe if you use all of the tags, like <example> which is at least as much work as doing the above I think.
Edit: In practice, at least in my own experience, I find that class diagrams aren't very useful, UML can be especially for large systems, but the way it's used it often isn't.

I agree 100%.
I'm always interested in how to communicate technical details to an audience without confusing or boring them. What makes it better?
Mostly, I mean shorter when I say better.
After reading numerous brain books I discovered something that is interesting.
Almost everything you know & think about has been learned through Context.
The easiest example here is you need to remember a list of 15 things.
If you simply attempt to remember them you will get 5 +/- 2.
However, if you build a story around those 15 things it is quite likely you will remember them. Humans need context.
And so it is with documentation (IMO). A lot of documentation is simply a list of technical details.
However, if you provide Context -- think of communicating how the thing works as if it is a story to a listener who is somewhat interested.
This does generally mean documentation is longer but if you do it right it will be so much better it will seem shorter (in most cases).

If you're talking about documentation similar to Mozilla's and Spring's then I'm 100% on board

IMHO it depends very much what you describe in '///' If it is only the list of parameters then it would be useless.
I saw a lot of such documentations for APIs... but the list of parameters I see allready in the code.

I created "leveled" Data Flow Diagrams (DFD's) for all the financials of Company XXX which were turned over when everything was outsourced. In effect, you're reverse engineering. Code comments won't do it if you expect someone else to get a higher understanding of how things work; which is usually what's needed first / most. With a high level view, it's easier to decide at what point to stop with the details.
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I
