This thing about a std::string or std::vector only being able to hold contents at compile time as a temporary or within a consteval function is frustrating. As far as I can tell it means you cannot directly get its size and then still access its content.
So far the only way I've seen that would work is converting it to an array, but to do that you need to pre-allocate one to some maximum size. In order to parameterize this you also have to shove the generator in a lambda.
Investigators found that leaders of a prison gang in Puerto Rico were selling inmates drugs in exchange for voting for Gov. Jenniffer González-Colón, a longtime Republican.
After Trump’s election, prosecutors were told not to pursue charges.

Before the 2024 election, federal prosecutors were "full steam ahead" looking into how a prison gang in Puerto Rico gave drugs to inmates if they voted for a GOP gubernatorial candidate. After Trump’s election, the investigation evaporated.
Today in Labor History May 5, 1884: The Knights of Labor struck at Jay Gould’s Union Pacific over wage cuts and won. Because of their success in this strike, their membership rapidly grew. However, when the Knights struck again, in 1886, Gould defeated them and the union quickly started to unravel. 200,000 workers participated in the Great Southwest Train Strike of 1886. Gould hired Pinkertons to infiltrate union and to work as scabs. The Governor of Missouri mustered the National Guards. The Governor of Texas used the National Guards and the Texas Rangers against the strikers. At least ten people died during the strike.

This one's seriously interesting.
Presence or absence of #play in adulthood among #primates is predicted by the politics! It's suppressed by 'despotic' systems:
'Adult play was not predicted by female body mass or sexual dimorphism, which are phylogenetically conserved. Social style was the key factor: tolerant species were more likely to exhibit the behaviour than despotic ones...'
"“The plaques are eloquently written descriptions of each President and the legacy they left behind,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement describing the installation in the colonnade that runs from the West Wing to the residence. “As a student of history, many were written directly by the President himself.”"
And I believe her.
What a fucking douche nozzle.

President Donald Trump has added partisan and subjective plaques to a refashioned West Wing walkway he calls the Presidential Walk of Fame. The move deepens Trump's fingerprints on the White House’s aesthetic and continues the Republican president's effort to bend the telling of U.S. history to his liking. The additions include references to “Sleepy Joe” Biden and paint Republican icon Ronald Reagan as a fan of a young Trump. They call Barack Obama one of the most divisive presidents in history. An introductory plaque tells passersby the Presidential Walk of Fame was conceived, built and dedicated by Trump as "a tribute to past Presidents, good, bad, and somewhere in the middle.”
By me: I'm suing the U.S. government under the Freedom of Information Act.
