Use GPLv3 or AGPL then. If you want companies to "give back" when they use your code, put it in the licence. Or you can charge money for your product.

Can you give an idea of how much I'd have to spend on a house? And also what I'd get for that money?

Domestic tech in Canada also pays significantly less. Entry-level for some banks is like US$50-60k

wtf that's barely less than Canada? and significantly more on a purchasing power basis. How do I move to Mexico?

Nobody actually knows what year Jesus was born, so setting "1 AD = Jesus' first full year of life" wouldn't be accurate. It's more or less the same puzzle as COBOL's alle…

Most computers use modified Harvard architecture, funnily enough. There's a shared memory space like von Neumann, but separated caches for instructions and data. It's the best of both worlds…

magic_enum addresses your issue but will absolutely kill compile time on a large project due to recursive template instantiation.

Modules sound cool for compile time, but do they prevent duplicative template instantiations? Because that's the real performance killer in my experience.

if using an int* over an int[] changes the memory layout of a struct, that necessarily implies a difference in the ABI. As an example, C++'s std::array can be implemented as a struct containing a…

This isn't true. int[] decays into an int* but is a different type. An array member of a struct will have its data allocated contiguously with other struct members (subject to compiler padding). …
