I don't think production quality is the only reason. Sometime it's cheaper to design one product and sell it as multiple products to capture more value. For example, some people are willing to pay 1k for a graphics card while othe

Indeed :) Curious, did you use any other information or was this a wild guess? As a side note, if anyone wants to go into more depth, Samet's "Foundations of Multidimansional and Metric Data Structures" ( http://www

I love quad and octrees but it's good to note that there's quite a bit of literature on them and for a good reason. I'm by no means an expert on them but here are some things worth knowing if you plan on using them: 1) The im

I know where you are coming from... but I have started interpreting the word "trivial" (and I don't mean the math meaning of it, e.g. "empty set is a trivial solution") to be a canary of sorts. Once you encounter it

Yes, but as a wiki and with the additional edge information + breadth first listing as I mentioned. It doesn't have to be as finely split up as this one but maybe it should. I have to say I'm really impressed by their progress sin

Awesome work! How do you plan to distribute it? Also I love how the traffic light seems to have eyes. Pretty creepy.

I might be missing something, but is this legal? Where are you getting all the games from and why are you trying to remove in-game ads? There's a reason these games are free and while I think users should be allowed to bypass ads using

Good observation and I completely agree. On a slight tangent I've been spending time thinking if I had the ability to change the high school curriculum, how would I do it? So far the thought that has had the most appeal to me is to int

Unless you are using it as an example of how your solution works differently. Which they are. I don't see anywhere that they are claiming their business is for copyright infringement, in fact, it doesn't seem like it's for ma

But then a lot of people wouldn't be able to afford owning a domain, which to me seems more evil than domain squatting. Artificially raising the prices hardly seems like a fair solution.

I think the perception here is not that FB will stop VR, but that they will ruin it. This is possible in a variety of ways including them making it into a walled garden similar to the iOS or blocking progress of competitors through patents

I imagine you were downvoted for being wrong about binary search (it does require O(1) indexing).

It would be pretty weird if they did considering they have their own platform and bundles.

Neovim isn't a simple refactor though. It adds the ability to do many things which aren't currently possible or are extremely difficult to do with the current vim. Sometimes there is no easy way out and you have to put in the work

I'm not sure I understand how that gives you personally more control. It seems to give more control to whoever wants to hurt you as he is the one purchasing the services. So with one body of force, I only need to worry about them comin

What I don't understand is what you gain by adding the ability to store images? Is the point to reduce the need to use imgur? Yes, imgur is adding the ability to add comments to images, but their functionality is a far cry from that of

In cases like these you have to evaluate the probability of something bad happening times the magnitude of the harm (essentially the expected value). The NSA can do much more damage (excluding the fact that they can do similar damage even w

I have the opposite opinion. Writing comments for (in-person) interviews is silly and a sign of wasting time. Interviews in general are not designed to check your coding style, but your ability to solve problems, whether they be reasonable

I think this is a completely fair point. Things in mathematics are astoundingly interconnected and you never know whether a seemingly benign proof will turn out to be the key to unlocking something much more pivotal.
