My point is that if there are less traffic jam, owning a car becomes interesting. I currently do not own a car because of traffic jams. Remove traffic jams and I'll buy one right away. If you work in software it's important for y

And an engineering study published last year concluded that automation could theoretically allow nearly four times as many cars to travel on a given stretch of highway. I am pretty sure it means what it means: the possibility of selling m

Recognize that BMW/Daimler/et al really don't want true self driving cars. You might have missed the part where it says that automated cars would allow much more cars to drive on the roads with less traffic congestion... So

Why is it so strange to be proud of the blessings of good fortune? If you are born beautiful, can't you be proud of it? If you are part of an ancient and rich civilization, can't you be proud of it?

Unless I am mistaken, the following features were not available in Windows 2000: GDI+, Clear Type, Remote Desktop, Windows Media Player, much better Internet support, USB 2.0, FireWire 800, etc. The list is very long. XP is not a big servic

True, the first release of NT was named 3.1 to match the current Windows version, but then minor updates count as iterations as well and therefore XP is the 5th iteration (we will all agree that 2000 to XP is a major step). My point was tha

Except the posted C++ code does not correctly handle memory errors or exceptions thrown by the STL. I love C++, but let's not make stupid claims.

The major and minor version number are not here just for show. For example the transition from NT 3.51 to NT 4 implied the transition of the GDI to the kernel. In NT 5.0 there was the addition of PnP with full ACPI support (and it saw the i

Looked at differently, though, the third-is-right adage is wrong. More typically version 4 crosses the good enough threshold -- Windows 95 as the fourth from 1.0 and XP as the fourth from Windows NT 3.51, for example. By that reckoning, Wi

Not only is MongoDB considerably lower in cost than Oracle, but adding nodes to a MongoDB cluster is an exercise in simplicity. It was my understanding that MongoDB scales poorly.

I wonder how the C++ version would do with TBB. Also I think it would be more interesting to compare more memory intensive programs, I think C++ would shine even more with all the optimizations opportunities there would have.
