Actual title is “Volcanoes! Lightning! And Radioactive Gas, Too”. It becomes ungrammatical if you remove the exclamation points. If you feel you have to change it, I'd recommend “Volcanoes, Lightning, And Radioactive Gas, Too”.

Actual title is “Apple unveils its subscription streaming service, Apple TV+”. Also, you shouldn't use the Apple logo character (U+F8FF) in the title, because it's in a Unicode private use area, and it won't appear correctly

Yes, cross-platform development is more work, but that example you gave is the wrong way to do it. It's better to abstract the differences using typedefs, functions, macros, etc., and keep the platform switches in a few isolated places

In your opinion, how does SIMD compare with “vector architectures” described in the article?
