Today I learned

Inspired by jbranchaud, this is a long list of small bits of information I discover while programming, or doing other stuff, ranging from bugs and time sinks to "I wish I had known this before".

C++

• C++ time sucks: incomplete time parsing
• Install CrowCpp without using the Conan package, but using Conan for the dependecies (catchy title, eh?)

CMake

• Setting the MSVC runtime library in CMake, and why CMake doesn't respect your options

Conan

• The modern way to limit Conan's CPU use

Git

• Correctly committing LF rather than CRLF

Linux

• Disabling SSH password auth on Ubuntu Server

Lua

• Multiple returns from the __index meta method
