Technology does help people immensely, perhaps in ways less measurable than philanthropy. Consider medical devices, weather forecasting, medical research - all these significantly leverage GNU/Linux.
There are applications today where C++ is still the best choice. For high complexity, performance critical applications (as csmuk mentions - game engines, trading, network software, but also high performance compilers…
It's amazing how many things are discovered this way.
It's the other way around, language designers go out of their way to conform to C-like syntax in order to cater to programmers of C-like languages. C's syntax is a fairly low level, which makes it fairly easy to map to…
(note: did not read the CNN article) I think that all the complaining about the lack of difficulty is completely missing Thrun's and Norvig's objectives. The most important thing educators provide is inspiration, not…
