It's a great book. The first edition was basically these notes, with some additions and corrections. The second edition (published in 2015) is more different. It was updated and reorganized to help clarify some common causes of confusi

It's kind of beside the point, but Mohamed Atta would never be considered a domestic terrorist. He travelled to the United States on a tourist visa, specifically to engage in terrorism. That disqualifies his actions from being 'do

We're looking at mass extinctions either way. The holocene extinction started before anthropogenic climate change began and will continue even after we restabilize the climate. There's a lot more we'll have to do if we want t

If your lambda doesn't capture any variables, it can be converted to a function pointer. You can also just capture by value, rather than by reference. If you really want, there's also reference counting with shared_ptr.

With 73 million children in the United States, that's $3.74 per child. I don't think a phone call with a doctor can actually solve the problems that most of these kids face, but even if it could, how much healthcare can you buy wi

There's no guarantee for the runtime of any function. It's perfectly valid for the OS to swap your program instructions to disk, and then take seconds or even minutes to load it back. It's effectively impossible to avoid depe

Your main point is correct, but std::begin and std::end were added in C++11. You would have used pointers or begin/end member functions for most of those 25 years.

I think the more likely scenario is that the price would be $50/mo in both countries. Nobody would be willing to buy it in the foreign country, but dropping the price would sacrifice too much profit in the home country to be worth it.
