There is also the classic story about returning war planes. You can try to make sense of the damage, the bullet holes, and try to create strategies around how to improve affected areas. The problem is that the damage you actually want to in

You assume that modern day browsers are even remotely secure. They still suffer from significant security bugs every now and then. Reducing the amount of third party java script you run is a security improvement.

Of course a basic iteration between begin()/end() will never contain out of range elements, but neither will valid increment between two integers. No need for iterators in that case either. Say I want to do something fancy, like gettin

You mix up time and code. You don't have to parallelize 100% of your code to scale with cores, you only have to parallelize the code that your software spends most of its time executing and that is often significantly less than 90%.
