This is a bit of a false dichotomy. You have more than two choices, and you don't have to pick just one. I'd try both and see which you prefer. Or use whatever's preferred on the platform that you're more familiar with,

The equation is a definition; the letters i, j and k do not represent variables :) Edit: If you want a more detailed explanation, the Wikipedia entry on Quaternions might be helpful (specifically the multiplication table at the top).

I only did the first two, which I hear are pretty trivial in comparison to the later ones, but I still had a great time and learned a hell of a lot in the process. Definitely highly recommended even if it's just for fun or out of idle

Camera movement between each frame would be minimal though so there'd be a lot of overlap between frames so minimal extra information. I'd guess the key to improving this result would be multiple cameras at different angles; I ima

Shame there's no 3D; I guess it's still Three.js for now. They have plans for it though, and it looks like a great start so far otherwise, and they have official support from the Processing foundation too.

Ah, it's time for SIGGRAPH again! Excellent. As a layman, I always look forward to the new "looks like magic" results that come out of there.

I'm looking for something with solid EPS import and export. So far, I've found Sketch flakey (some things imported incorrectly, other things cause visual glitches), OmniGraffle great except when I export a document as EPS which

That's really interesting. Not doubting the numbers necessarily, but does Alexa still get its numbers from browser toolbars, making it somewhat biased?

This is a genuine question: where is Yahoo getting all this money from? I think the average internet-goer (myself included) would probably be surprised to hear they're profitable enough to have made so many large purchases recently...

If for no other reason, the sheer amount of Objective-C example code out there is reason enough why having Objective-C literacy is a emphatically a Good Thing. I've found a fun exercise while learning Swift is to re-write Objective-C e

On a similar note, does anyone have any experience with the apps that let you use your iPad as a monitor? Last I checked they were a bit flaky, but I was wondering if the situation had improved (and if they work when connected to e.g. publi

Looks like a great service. Just tried the CMS and it works beautifully; much better than the only other similar CMS I've tried (CushyCMS–which requires SFTP). Perhaps a niche request, but are there any plans to add HTTP basic access a

Just bought this, and there's a big problem: the filters won't let you choose a destination directory that's not in your Home directory! I'm not sure if this is a weird Sandboxing constraint or not? But I keep my Downloa

I can't speak for this specific solution, but veroboard drives me (personally) bonkers and it's not enough of a hobby for me to justify investing in photochemical etchers. Being able to design a project on a computer, and get a PC

Just did a quick test from London, comparing lon1 to ams2. Pleasant increase in speeds (25 MB/s up, 20 MB/s down vs. 15 MB/s each way for ams2, though these fluctuate) and a nice decrease in ping (3.5 ms vs 8 ms). Nice to see

I believe so–that's what the blog says at least! Would've been nice if they'd done this from the start (says someone who just paid his registration fee last month solely for access to the new XCode beta/Swift) but better

Does anyone know if Mathematica 10 is retina-ready for Mac yet? This may seem petty to some, but when you do a lot of data visualisation, it really does matter. As an aside, I've been using IPython Notebooks a lot over Mathematica over
