Another, more efficient solution would be to have each thread callback to the primary thread when they are finished, and the handler on the primary thread could launch a new thread each time. This prevents the repetitive calls to timed_join, as the primary thread won't do anything until the callback is triggered.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
