While a lot of numerical specialists who aren't computer scientists still code in FORTRAN (or MATLAB or Python with NumPy), most cutting-edge research for large scale parallelism, heterogeneous computing and high performance computing is done in C or C++.
Even the new LAPACK replacements are written in C. CERN is also known for using C++ extensively.
Sure, C compilers aren't always capable of performing some simple optimizations, but with C you can manually optimize as much as you want.
It's important to note the stats are about the number of new projects. Most C or C++ code, for example, will be mature projects that stay alive for a long time.
I think it is a bad stat, what would be more interesting would be to know the total quantity of actively maintained code and not just the number of new projects.
I don't see how SSE is anything like it. Either you have a SSE or AVX unit or you don't. If you do, you use it exclusively. With a hybrid x86+ARM+GPU chip, you need to give work to at least all 3 of them, and it's nearly impossible to predict which unit will be the best for each task or even to schedule the damn thing dynamically.
Are you really in a position to evaluate what kind of society that would produce and how their global output would compare to our current system?
Yes. It's called studying economy.
surprised that you feel capable of calculating the trade-off that implies between allocation of resources into education and increased productivity across the board
I'm personally more surprised that you are seriously considering the possibility that the system you are suggesting is viable. There are so many obvious problems with wanting that for every children there be multiple people dedicated to teaching him in a custom way that it's not even funny. And that's even without considering the bad effects of not exposing the child to his peers and learning to work as a group. This way of raising children is only possible for people who have significantly larger amounts of money than other people, and therefore it cannot be applied to the entire population.
Sure, let's have a psychologist analyze each child every 6 months to decide what he's most ready to learn at this stage of his emotional development and have a teacher design a customized course just for that child.
Sounds like an efficient use of resources, and a good way to show the child how society revolves on his every whim.

Huh?
Getting raped by a taxi is a serious issue.
More inventory space is hardly cosmetic.
You can still get raped and cheated with London taxis.
Sorry, I forgot British law applied worldwide.
The distribution of firearms is regulated, manufacture usually isn't.
In most civilized countries, letting a machine build a device out of plastic is not illegal, regardless of what the device is.

Yes, because such complex heterogeneous hardware is so easy to program for.
Because people see death as natural.

I'm using SSDs in a compile farm that builds software 24/7 and no drive has ever failed.
The point of the status bar is to give you the status of the current HTTP request.
It is very useful to know if data is being fetched or a name is being resolved.
Yes.
