Matching donors and recipients is a bit like the traveling salesman problem.
Not strictly programming, but still cool.

How is Math related to Bio?
I can sense a lot of confusion between programming, business (salesman), bio (kidney match etc) and maths (where was maths in this?).

They did not go into great deal for what NP-hard means, but that is the central math theme of the article.
As the size of the dataset increases, the time required to solve the problem increases.
Every programmer should be asking themselves "How complex is this problem?", when they attempt to create an algorithm to solve any type of dataset dependent decision, search or optimization problem. Basically the O(n), "Big-O notation".
NP-hard stands for "Non-deterministic Polynomial-time hard".
This link at Wikipedia[^] has a good explanation with a nice diagram.
Understanding that these problems are non-deterministic is the to why these problems are difficult to calculate how complex these problems are to solve. It is possible to get a different answer for the algorithm even when the same inputs are passed in on a different run.
The travelling salesman problem is NP-hard because it may possibly be solved in polynomial time, but there is not a known algorithm that can guarantee this boundary. Therefore, some runs may exceed polynomial-time when they are processed.

I have heard somewhere that microsoft is going to shut the internet explorer form its upcoming windows in awake of poor Performence or less usability. How much true is this news ? Any updates ?

Yeah we are getting it more true. And yes a big overhead it has foe designers and developers too.

I read somewhere that they develop a new browser namend "Spartan" from the scratch. The concept is to compete with Chrome.

Some might say that the MS-offered browser has always been spartan.
I'd say that the name is a simple matter of calling a spade, "a spade".
spartan
adjective
showing or characterized by austerity or a lack of comfort or luxury.
"the accommodation was fairly spartan"

Sounds more like they want to compete with "Trojan"

In that case, I think they'd have to work a little harder on virus protection...

I wouldn't have said it is from scratch, as it is still using the same engines.

Agreed. THey are still using the Trident rendering engine and that's kind of the main portion of the browser.
|

|

|

No, they are not shut down internet explorer.
They just stop further development and to replace the same they try introduce Spartan[^].

It is not true. What is true is that Microsoft is building a new browser (as mentioned by others). That browser is consumer focused and contains features such as auto-update or Webstore like extensions. However, IE will still be part of Windows, especially for business customers. This is also due to backwards compatibility.

Finally, the first good news of 2015 eh?

The good news is that means there is another browser to support. w00t!
I'm sure the new MS browser will work entirely differently than IE. You know, like, "wait, does it support addEventListener or not?" MS couldn't make up their mind on that one. That's always fun. It only strengthens us developer types.
New Business Opportunity
Heck, it's so confusing now for consumers you could almost start a company which teaches people to click around in the browser, which should be the easiest thing in the world but isn't.
