Ancient Greece is still an age or two away. I am interested in your pigment argument, however. If I get into specifics about what makes gold good art I'll check into that. It would be interesting to look into, say, the price of gold ve

We all know that gold has industrial uses. But those won't appear for thousands of years. Mentioning that you can use gold in integrated circuits does nothing to explain gold in the Stone Age.

I've committed a Linux version that for sure uses libedit. It is decidedly not my intention to use libreadline.

The OSX version links against libedit. The Linux version is supposed to as well so if it isn't that's an oversight. Let me take a look.

Linux linking: I wasn't doing anything special with the linking. The Linux binary was compiled on a VirtualBox instance of Mint and stripped and compressed, so it's possible your tools are misreporting, or I did something I wasn&#

The author uses NP-complete correctly. Section 2.2 of the paper establishes the problem is in NP and not merely NP-hard. Your intuition about verifying optimal solutions has misled you here. Interesting optimization questions such as "

I stop short of recommending B-trees as the only tree structure you need to know. I think if it matters at all what kind of tree you're using, you're deep enough in the guts that it pays to know the differences between B-trees and

This is a valuable article that I read thoroughly when I was re-reviewing search trees. Nobody wants to spend 60 hours learning a new tree only to have it fail to live up to its promise. I'll summarize what I know (or think I know) abo

We chose Permanent because it means long-lasting or durable, but it has a hidden geeky meaning we liked: computing the permanent of a matrix is a #P-complete problem.

The old link referenced pointed to a different page, the release page for the previous version. Perhaps the biggest difference between Permanent and Numbers is the interface. It's easy to suggest that tablet spreadsheets might all work

Lua scripting was cool. It was in v1 but hasn't made it into v2 yet. Before you get to the group of users that want scripting/macros on their tablet, there is an enormous group of users that want things like resizing columns and c

I need to update my citation: "Land of Silence and Darkness" is the better source, though both may cover the subject. The two films are closely related. I think I saw them together, hence the confusion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_of

Calculus in Chinese is still calculus. The sphere is smooth, the cube is non-smooth. That's all it takes.

With respect to Molyneux and Locke, while I believe they get the general idea right, I believe they get the actual answer wrong. The answer to Molyneux's problem should be "yes" --- the newly sighted can correctly associate the shapes. A su

All within reason. We're not going to try to be a silo, if that's what you mean. We want to be as interoperable with other applications as possible.

You can bring up the delete button for a sheet by right swiping the sheet's cell after tapping on the project breadcrumb. This sounds clumsy written out. Inside the app the gesture should be natural. Multiple cell selection isn't implemente

Version 1.1 should import/export Excel sheets. Version 1.0 doesn't import/export so that we could launch quicker and make sure everything is stable.

One common problem with spreadsheets is the "spreadsheet-as-a-database" anti-pattern. People try to use their spreadsheets as databases when the spreadsheet really isn't prepared for that. Permanent solves this problem by using a column-ori

Apple's track record on the web has been poor. Their websites are not first class. So they could have to build expertise there. I think, for backend services, networking expertise on the OS teams would go a long way. In terms of staffing an
