And you don't think they have access to Google and Microsoft, the two companies making software for Samsung phones?

Not exactly, as c also has to approach 0. So you have two limits, and their order matters.

The US-only thing I can understand, because international shipping is expensive and payments are difficult. But really, why do I need a phone with a particular OS just to send them a few pictures?

Floating point is not so bad. Yes, when you need fixed precision, such as in accounting, you should avoid it. But with numerical computations, if you run into problem because of float limitations, you're doing it wrong. The first rule of nu

Why not? It's nice to make a fresh start, as with a new language you will not fall into your old habits so easily.

For small projects, try Meteor. Everything is in JavaScript, and you don't have to concern yourself with such trivialities as database or talking to the server. The recent releases (0.6 onwards) have really easy authentication, and lots of

On my screen size and browser chrome, the little girl's eyes are just above the bottom of the browser window. With the rest of the picture out of focus, it looks positively creepy.

You have to install the Google+ app, at least I had to do so. I don't have a Nexus though, does it come pre-installed?

Thanks. It looks pretty exponential this way.

The big graph on top looks nice, but it really annoys the physicist in me. There should at least be another in logarithmic scale, so we can actually see how the value is rising.

This looks like an example of forcing a concept from one framework to another. Android doesn't have bindings, but instead uses adapters and notifyDataSetChanged(). This binding may be more useful for non-list data. However, do you really ha

I use Firefox on KDE with a dark theme (obsidian coast). Parts of some pages, like this very comment input on HN, specify either text color or background color, but not the other, and so you get dark text on dark bg or light text on light b

It doesn't. Whenever someone with GG enters the bar, kindly ask them to remove the glasses. There is no need to publicize this bad, except as a publicity stunt.

Quick summary: They have a server shortage. They are adding new servers but this takes time (three days, apparently). Also, they're disabling Cheetah speed. If only there was a way to start virtual server in less than three days...

The first impression I get from this picture is that it looks photoshopped. A closer inspection reveals that it's not the picture that is shopped, but the model.

After seeing the animations and reading the article, I am somewhat skeptical about the stability of these orbits. They are rather long and have plenty of near-misses. Even if they are stable in the sense of a pure 3 body problem, at close d

I find it surprising that some configurations are as stable as they are with the simple integration method. At least (if I'm reading this correctly) you calculate positions and velocities at different times. I really like you simulation.

A lot of things in KDE4 were (re)written from scratch. No such thing will happen for KDE5. It is mostly about splitting the base libraries. That said, Plasma and KWin will probably have the most changes, one from the mass conversion to QtQu

Graphite is composed of multiple sheets of carbon atoms, while graphene is composed of a single such sheet. Referring to the sheets as "graphene sheets" is not very incorrect, but sounds much cooler.

Both of your examples are fine, as it is pretty clear what each method does. In such cases, the golden rule is "if you do it more than once, create a new function". I don't know what kind of things you program if you have 100-line functions

I'm curious why you need the laptop at all. Do you like looking down on the tiny screen even though you have two huge ones above?

I find it interesting that in all those discussions about voting systems, which are mostly focused on USA president elections, nobody mentions two-round voting, also known as run-off voting. This is what we have in Slovenia for electing our

You can (and should) use a list of one-time passwords that bypass the two-factor authentication. Google generates them for you, and you surely can memorize one for emergencies.

It still isn't. They have some antennas up, but not nearly city-wide.
