K-ballo: happy birthday!
<diehlpk_work>
hkaiser, Are you joining the meeting?
<hkaiser>
diehlpk_work: do you need me?
<diehlpk_work>
hkaiser, Yes, we are discussing the results and decide what to write in the paper
<hkaiser>
ok, give me a sec
<diehlpk_work>
boost build sytem is horrible and it is no on my top hated software list
<gonidelis[m]>
are those files used for our testbench facilities?
<gonidelis[m]>
and it's like we have three sources of testing, namely .jenkins .github (probably built in facility along with hosting) and .circleci? No? i am trying to understand our production process a little bit better
<ms[m]>
gonidelis: yep
<ms[m]>
And the .jenkins and the .circleci directories
<gonidelis[m]>
yeah
<gonidelis[m]>
nice
<gonidelis[m]>
thanks mike
<gonidelis[m]>
but i reckon each of them has their own means of configuration, yaml's, sh's etc?
<gonidelis[m]>
plus the jenkins.cscs tests seem unreachable. When I click I get "webpage does not exist" kind of errors
<hkaiser>
gonidelis[m]: yes, those are behind a firewall, we can't access those
hkaiser has quit [Quit: Bye!]
<gonidelis[m]>
what's their purpose then tho?
<gonidelis[m]>
why is std::optional useful? and what are we using it for?
<gonidelis[m]>
i understand what it's doing but sounds like another redundant C++ feature, what makes it necessary?

<gonidelis[m]>
hkaiser: ^^
<hkaiser>
gonidelis[m]: we have our optional for a) historic reasons, and b) for supporting a workaround for a broken compiler
<gonidelis[m]>
Wow
<gonidelis[m]>
So it’s about stability
<hkaiser>
we originally added it when we didn't require c++17 yet, today it's just for one compiler workaround that can't be applied otherwise
<hkaiser>
eventually I think we will remove it (same as variant, btw)
