It will be 4 pixels of different colors though, making it easier to distinguish the shape of the object.

For 3D the biggest improvement is you have more pixels to render objects at long distance, which is huge for games with large camera viewing distance. For example, you can spot enemy much easier in Battlefield.

The article discusses a proposal to add new functionally to part of the standard library, which just happen to mimic a monadic interface. I fail to see how it even affect the language.

"Under more conservative (realistic) assumptions, multicore scaling provides a total performance gain of 3.7× (14% per year) over ten years."

use C++ to teach programming should be considered a crime. You simply don't give people who just got their driver license a truck to drive, not only will it suck out all the fun but also likely get the person killed in the process.

I unsubscribed myself from all Blizzard game After the D3 fiasco. Blizzard is no longer the same company it once was. There are so many issues but I think it ultimately boil down to treating their customers as drug addicts rather than intelligent human beings. The worst offenders being dumb down game mechanics to cater to the lowest common denominator, WoW daily quests, always online DRM and of course the D3 AH.
