Knowing powers of two in your head (as I guess many of us do) can helps with root estimates and this algorithm. Take an example sqrt(5819): That's between two powers of two 2^12 = 4096 and 2^13 = 8192. The square roots of those numbers

If we are going for technical correctness... Anything being broken by this is relying on the output of man with no arguments which is not documented as far as I can see, other than that it should have exit code 0. Where is the boundary betw

Turns out it's an easter egg referring to a song. Sadly while many people enjoyed it, others were annoyed by it. And the author has now removed it. I find it hard to relate with people who not only would be annoyed by something like th

I'm not sure, but I think the author means that there is no extraction of fields from the instruction, which is one way of defining the decode step.

Yup SketchUp is pretty good, but it's really not ideal for 3D printable objects. And it's still not easy enough to help enable the widespread adoptions of 3D printing.

Implementation wise, it's using WebSockets to send relevant key up/down events. A key is considered pressed if more than 50% of active users are pressing the key (active users must have pressed a key in the last few seconds).

Hmm. This is unlikely unless Objective-C can be made to work on Vita with GNUStep or something. Doesn't look like anyone's tried it so probably a lot of work. Maybe I should've used C++...

Thanks! We're still having trouble deciding how to monetize exactly. We were initially thinking $4.99 on Mac. But now we're thinking maybe freemium and you can buy the remaining levels after you've completed the first 9 (for

This is very cool and all, but I just see it as another example of a web tech demo that if rewritten for my 20 year old Super Nintendo would run with more frames per second. There appears to be no hope in the near future for smooth interact
