I can do that myself. This is for people who aren't able to use a
newer version of the compiler. If string_view had been part of C++
2011 or 2014, it would have been better.
 
Also, I would like to mention this again:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.c++/yW_BoR4ckzA
 
It has to do with adding a function like this:
 
virtual ::std::string_view what_view () const noexcept;
 
to std::exception. This didn't even make it into C++ 2017. :(

Brian has already been over this before:

I should beware entering into a discussion of the issue with him:
according to Brian, "... By attacking my reasoning you are attempting
to dissuade people from looking into my work". In other words, you may
be dragged into a debate on his company's commercial product, about
which I have neither any opinion nor any interest.

What? Are you not going to post a second version? Are you sure about it?
rami18 <coco@coco.com>: May 24 04:55PM -0400

Hello..
 
 
What is also the difference between animals and humans ?
 
The back-bones of civilization is morality
 
Morality gets us more organized than animals, and being more organized
is being more smart than animals and it is being more secure than
animals and it's being more powerful than animals..
 
This is why i am talking morality relating it to politics..
 
Please read again my policial philosophy to understand well from
where is infered compassion and love and respect and how to
tune compassion and love and respect to be more and better organized..
 
About civilization and politics now..
 
I was just thinking right now and i have come to an interesting subject...
 
 
If you ask me a question like this:
 
Amine, are you in politics for centrists or are you for leftists or are
you for rightists or are you for far-rightists ?
 
This question is very important..
 
Now to answer this question i will do it by logical simplification, here
is how:
 
Why have we to be more civilized ?
 
This question is very very important, and what is the back-bones of
civilization ? it's morality, morality does comprise a priori
pure moral and empirical moral..
 
Now morality is related to the political philosophy..
 
Morality is also political philosophy and political philosophy is also
morality.
 
Now you have to know how to tune morality in accordance with a priori
pure moral and empirical moral..
 
Immigration is also morality, and you have to know how to tune morality
to be able to tune immigration..
 
And compassion is also morality, but you have to be able to tune
correctly compassion to be able to be more organized and more
secure to avoid extremism and violence, because lack of compassion
causes violence and extremism.
 
But how to tune love and compassion and respect ?
 
Here is my political philosophy that explained it:
 
Here is my political model that i have just extended and refined more,
please read it to understand my views of my model:
 
What must be the game of politics of today ?
 
You have seen me writing my political philosophy as an intellectual..
 
I am an arab from Morocco that lives in Quebec Canada.
 
I am a decent and honest person, and morality is the reference of my
actions..
 
So enough talk about me..
 
Now about the question above:
 
What must be the game of politics of today ?
 
Contrary to politics of domination of the past, today politics
must be organized in such a way that it takes into account
the powers and counter-powers, because from the powers and
counter-powers, empirical moral is inferred, and because morality is
a priori pure moral and empiriral moral, so this must be clear
in your mind, this is why you have seen me taking into account
empirical moral, this is necessary today to avoid for example
a suicidal politics such as those of neo-nazis and neo-nazism..
neo-nazism is like nihilism , because its politic is
a politic of domination , and this politic of domination
of neo-nazism bring us directly to confrontations with weapons
of mass destruction, so neo-nazism is not in accordance with
empirical moral that wants to play smartly, and by taking consumerism
into account , consumerism that causes compassion and respect,
so that causes security and stability. So then hope you have
understood what i am talking about.
 
About our beloved arabs...
 
I am learning you how to be smart..
 
Why am i saying our beloved arabs ?
 
This is how you have to behave to attract confidence so that to higher
consumer confidence index in you, it's like playing chess, you have to
be capable of making smart moves on the chess, but is it negativity ?
no it isn't negativity, because consumerism causes compassion
and respect to be able to higher consumer confidence index
internationally, and consumerism causes investment on third-world
countries , this is the game today, you have to think big like that to
be able to share the economic market of arabs and to sell more on the
economic market of arabs, that's the same for africans, so this
new conception and perception that looks like Fordism is the
reality of capitalism an Liberalism of today, and why arabs
will let you share there market and sell on there local market?
because the old model of extremist nationalism is no more, because
read the following proof:
 
"The economic models developed by the development economists of the
1960s, based on the idea of industrializing industries, seem to be
losing more and more of their unconditional supporters. The economic
development of a country or a region is no longer Dependent on the
development of the secondary sector or heavy industry. "
by M'Fadel El Halaissi, of which our readers are familiar, is Deputy
Chief Executive Officer of BMCE Bank.

And how to provoke and bring quality to the system ?
 
That's really a good question !
 
Now you have seen me talking in my previous posts about the mechanisms
that provoke and bring more quality to the system, those mechanism are
the natural consequence of efficient thinking and thinking bigger, and
efficient thinking must be based on a new conception and perception of
the world, this perception and conception must provoke and bring more
quality , and you have really seen me saying that competitiveness must
be seen as a good sport, not as violence, , so you have to be sportive
and think sportive to enhance competitiveness, this kind of change in
our perception and conception bring more security, like when i have said
that consumerism is constrained by the fact that it must know how to
tune compassion and love and respect towards consumers to higher
consumer confidence index, that's all beautiful, because it is a balance
of powers that provoke and bring more quality, like when i have said
also that you have to know how to not neglect compassion and love and
respect to not cause extremism and violence in the system, that's also a
counter-power that provoke and bring more quality, this is all
about the balance of powers and counter-powers that provoke
and bring more quality to the system, this is why you have finally
seen me saying the following to you:
 
About dictatorship and communism
 
The problem with those is the problem of the past, because there is
a necessity to provoke and bring quality with the introduction of new
mechanisms, like the mechanisms of the counter-power of consumerism and
consumer confidence index, and like the mechanism of the power of
democracy, and like the mechanism of the counter-power of the financial
and bank institutions that have there rating methodology that take into
account the Political Risk factor and the economic conditions, and this
creates more quality and a world stability, this balance of powers
ensure us of more stability and more quality and more security, this is
the weakness of dictatorship and communism, they lack some of or all of
those mechanisms that bring more quality.
 
Capitalism is changing from commodity capital to intellectual capital.
 
Intellectual capital is where you will have more money and it is where
you will become more rich and prosperous.
 
 
See the following video:
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qYmZPP4AO8
 
 
About capitalism..
 
If you say , to become rich you must work hard.
 
In capitalism that's not true, because Intellectual giftedness can make
you rich faster without working hard and/or without suffering. That's a
principle in capitalism, and this condition is authorized by capitalism
because this is how you become rich as a nation and this is how you can
take taxes from the rich.
 
About jews..
 
The history of jews is related to capitalism, Hitler has attacked
jews because he has attacked capitalism.
 
But i don't think that Hitler was right..
 
Because of Intellectual giftedness of jews, so jews can become rich
faster without working hard and without suffering.. but we have not to
hate this, because it is a principle of capitalism that is important,
because it is how we become rich as a nation, and because read again:
 
About capitalism..
 
 
If you say , to become rich you must work hard.
 
In capitalism that's not true, because Intellectual giftedness can make
you rich faster without working hard and/or without suffering. That's a
principle in capitalism, and this condition is authorized by capitalism
because this is how you become rich as a nation and this is how you can
take taxes from the rich, and also because Intellectual elites has to
sacrifice for money to maximize better the benefit of science and
development.
 
I will add the following factor to my model:
 
Economic integration with others and also economic investment render the
world more stable and more peaceful and more secure, and because
consumerism has to guide governance and consumerism is also the
consequence of compassion and respect, because to not hurt consumer
confidence index you have to know how to be compassion and respect. This
is the solution of the problem between Israel and arab countries, they
must have more economic integration and more economic investment between
them to be more peace and stability.
 
Please read again the rest of my model:
 
With a Top-down approach i have come to an important subject:
 
I have said that:
 
Other than that you have to know how to tune compassion and respect to
not hurt consumer confidence index internationally and locally.
 
This is an important factor to be able to tune well the political
philosophy that must guide governance, you have also to think governance
by knowing how to tune economic investing into the third world
countries, this is mandatory, to be more precise i will say that you
have to know that like Fordism, consumerism has also to guide our
political philosophy, and consumerism is a consequence of respect and
compassion, so this is very serious, and the essence of America is
constructed on this fact, so adding this principle to my model will get
you on the right path, here is the rest of my model that i have enhanced:
 
About extremist nationalism and communism..
 
Extremist nationalism like the far-right or neo-nazi political parties
is an archaic thinking that causes violence and extremism and
instability, communism is the same, so we have to be wiser
and understand that this kind of extremism has also to be avoided
by knowing the following:
 
"The economic models developed by the development economists of the
1960s, based on the idea of industrializing industries, seem to be
losing more and more of their unconditional supporters. The economic
development of a country or a region is no longer Dependent on the
development of the secondary sector or heavy industry. "

And i have said that efficient thinking is not thinking small..
 
Efficient thinking is thinking bigger..
 
You have to think bigger to be able to survive better..
 
But thinking bigger is not suicidal thinking that causes suffering to
the people, suicidal thinking is a nihilist thinking that is not
efficient thinking that thinks bigger and that solves problems, so be
capable and be responsable and be wise, being wiser is also taking into
account the right variables and factors that enhance your living
conditions and the living conditions of your children and the people..
 
But we can not have confidence in people, we have to enforce
morality with laws, but morality is not something easy ,
because morality is not just a priori pure moral, morality
is inferred also from empirical moral that is also from power and
counter-power, but we are more lucky today because empirical moral is
not so bad, because i have said that: Past was the past, but today it is
different, we are getting world stability from the power and the
counter-power, so we not just have governance and/or democracy that is
the power of people, but also we have the counter-power of the financial
and banks institutions that have there rating methodology that take into
account the Political Risk factor and the economic conditions, and we
have the counter-power of the consumers confidence index, and this
creates a world stability because we have to optimize our economic
systems and by being responsable by being also responsable governance,
other than that compassion and respect can be virility and they are like
mandatory for the system, because compassion and respect gets us more
organized because neglecting compassion and respect cause violence and
extremism that make our society unstable and less optimized , so tuning
compassion and respect right with social services and medical services
and with educational services and with help to the people to avoid
violence and extremism is also more stability and more power , so this
compassion and respect is virility, other than that you have to know how
to tune compassion and respect to not hurt consumer confidence index
internationally and locally.
 
 
And about immigration:
 
Virility and usefulness
 
We have to do more philosophy..
 
There is some of you who define virility as being courageous or violent..
 
But this is not the right way to define virility..
 
You have to define it to know it:
 
Virility is maturity and also it is intelligence and it is
money and it is knowledge and it is efficiency etc.
 
Virility is not just being violent or being courageous..
 
Now can we make this criterion of virility the criterion
at how we have to be selected as an immigrant ?
 
I don't think it is the right way..
 
Because to be accepted as an immigrant we have to be categorized
by the criterion of usefulness, this is optimization of today,
so to fulfil the goal of economic growth and economic efficiency
and to be able to give jobs to the right persons, we have to think
by the criterion of usefulness, this is how works USA and this is
how works Canada too, even if we select some immigrants taking also into
consideration human rights.
 
Knowledge changes your perception..
 
But quality of knowledge is also very important to set it right..
 
To overcome many constraints you have to know how to tune some
variables, like you have to know how to define usefulness,
and this is the weakness of neo-nazis like ideologies,
today optimization is defined by the criterion of usefulness,
and usefulness is not that arabs have to be as beautiful as
white europeans, this is the old way of thinking, so
usefulness to conform to the standards of today that
take into account efficiency of economy has been defined
differently than the neo-nazis kind of thinking, so
we have to adapt , because USA and Canada have to
optimize there economies taking into account many
constraints, because also usefulness is constrained
also by contraints and this is why USA and Canada
are getting more clever at defining usefulness and usefulness of
immigrants to better optimize there economies, so i am calling
to all of you to adapt to the reality of today, because
the past was the past, and today is today, so please adapt
yourself !
 
And more about the criterion of usefulness..

Thanks, it's interesting how many natural ways there are to write this
particular miniature class.
 
Your version is less obvious to me, what with the recursion and general
indirection, even though I've read a few Lisp and functional programming
books (I think "Artifical Intelligence" by Patrick Henry Winston, with
its companion example book by Berthold whatever it was and him, was
Really Good™ as an introduction to Lisp, but now they're old books). But
the main thing that makes me unsure about this code is not the general
approach (very nice, modulo one's familiarity with idioms of functional
programming like in Lisp), it's the precedence of the C++ `^`, `<<` and
infix `-` operators. I'd had to look that up to be sure!
 
Someone™ should really write up a blog article about these approaches. :)
 
 
Cheers!, & thanks,
