1) all these enums should be enum class 2) magic_enum is very limited. Not only slow but the limit of enum values makes it impractical to use for something like vulkan

How is that a bias? That's reality

the whole point is that covid is no big deal. It's at best a minor flu at this point. People "contracting Covid" are irrelevant

12ms to 6ms is not 2xfaster. It's 1x faster or 2 times as fast

If you go for C++, don't start lower than C++20. MSVC has a chunk of C++23 done already

I wonder if the headline would be the same if another group was the target.

all non-leftie viewpoints are banned here, so that point is moot. Also he is right, this is a blatant call for censorship.

No it didn't. But the lovely guy in this thread who called me a racist did. And the 2-5 trump posts per day do. And the guys who openly call for violence do. The guidelines have been ignored or months now, leaving nothing of value on this site.

I will continue to do what I do. I recommend that you ban me though.

submission was [dead] ed but brought back. Maybe that's why it's missing in some databases.
