PFFFFTT!!! The old ways are the best ways.

The static local functions could be useful, but I still prefer enclosing a using block variable in braces. I find this makes for eaier to understand code as it's obvious where the variable is being declared and what scope it has. It's scope is declared by the using block and is explicit. This way the scope is implicit so not as clear.

Understanding code isn't the point.

The scope for a using variable is the function or the enclosing block. Pretty simple and maybe enable more "C++ like" RAII

As a frequent contributor to open source projects (both within and beyond Red Hat), I find one of the most common time-wasters is dealing with code reviews of my submitted code that are negative or obstructive and yet essentially subjective or argumentative in nature. I can't imagine why this article is on the RedHat developer's site

We're just now getting around to installing 2016, and we still have several 2008R2 and 2012 servers in use...

Us, too. The damn 2008s keep magically appearing on the network, despite us decomming a whole bunch over the past two years. I think they're breeding in the damp corners.

While most programmers use floating point indiscriminately anytime they want to do math with real numbers, because of certain limitations in how these numbers are represented, performance and accuracy often leave something to be desired. Because 355/113 ought to be enough for everyone

If you're a numerical nutter like me, this is fun stuff -- but it's not for the faint of cross-feint paper.
Interestingly* google translate translates the Italian "dare numeri" literally as "give numbers".
Now go ask an Italian what it means.
* In the "fruggin' idiots!" sense
