...ile processes run in separate memory spaces. I'm not sure what "hardware" vs "software" threads you might be referring to. Threads are an operating environment feature, rather than a CPU feature (though the CPU typically has operations that make threads efficient). Erlang uses the term "process" b...

...ame your resources with Urls and use GET, PUT, POST and DELETE. Hell, us devs already know how to do that, we have been dealing with databases for years that have tables and columns and SQL statements that have SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE.

...). Assuming that you are @synthesizing the method implementations, atomic vs. non-atomic changes the generated code. If you are writing your own setter/getters, atomic/nonatomic/retain/assign/copy are merely advisory. (Note: @synthesize is now the default behavior in recent versions of LLVM. Th...

... steady clock simply by checking is_steady and behave accordingly. However VS2012 seems to cheat a bit here :-) If you need high precision clock I recommend for now writing your own clock that conforms to C++11 official clock interface and wait for implementations to catch up. It will be much bette...

...precision arithmetic as opposed to single precision. References: Double vs float on the iPhone iPhone/iPad double precision math On the older phones supposedly calculations operate at the same speed but you can have more single precision components in registers than doubles, so for many calcula...
