Type-based vs. Value-based Reflection

Type-based vs Value-based Reflection Frequently, whenever the topic of Reflection comes up, I see a lot of complains specifically about the new syntax being added to support Reflection in C++26. I’ve always thought of that as being largely driven by unfamiliarity — this syntax is new, unfamiliar, and thus bad. I thought I’d take a different tactic in this post: let’s take a problem that can only be solved with Reflection and compare what the solution would look like between: the C++26 value-ba

This is true. However, I did leave myself some wiggle room in my original goal, when I said “weeks when I am not traveling”, knowing I was traveling 6 of the next 7 weeks.

Tesla’s Robotaxis Are Rolling Out Soon—With One Big Unanswered Question

Self-driving vehicle developers don’t usually love talking about “teleoperation”—when a human guides or drives robot cars remotely. It can feel like a dirty secret. Shouldn’t an autonomous vehicle operate, well, autonomously? But experts say teleoperations are, at least right now, a critical part of any robot taxi service, including Tesla's Robotaxi.
