The Computer Language Benchmarks Game

= The Computer Language Benchmarks Game The Computer Language Benchmarks Game is a free software project for comparing how a given subset of simple algorithms can be implemented in various popular programming languages. The project consists of: * A set of very simple algorithmic problems * Various implementations to the above problems in various programming languages * A set of unit tests to verify that the submitted implementations solve the problem statement * A framework for running and timing the implementations * A website to facilitate the interactive comparison of the results = Supported languages Due to resource constraints, only a small subset of common programming languages are supported, up to the discretion of the game's operator. https://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/ * Ada * C * Chapel * Clojure * C# * C++ * Dart * Erlang * F# * Fortran * Go * Hack * Haskell * Java * JavaScript * Lisp * Lua * OCaml * Pascal * Perl * PHP * Python ...

Making metropolitan travel more ergonomic

It would make a difference if they have published the exact synchronization of traffic lights and/or broadcast timely phase signals (via UDP over GPRS or such). Using this data combined with the readings of the bicycle odometer, software on your PDA or mobile phone could continuously suggest a velocity that should minimize idling at each traffic light. Manual settings for maximal speed, acceleration and cardiovascular pulse could be given. Note that this strategy only works well for uncongested networks, like dedicated bicycle lanes or paths. Trained cyclist already apply a similar technique manually, however, not all lights are synchronized to each other.
