I was trying to imitate the code listings in the book ,  I understand that it uses the CM TT font. What I am interested is in the proportion between the text and the code, and the treatment of the comments which are formatted as sans serif roman characters of the same size as the code. As I intend to include small text files with the original code  I would like that no additional formatting is needed inside the code.   I have tried the listings package but I have some problem with the width of the characters in the listings environment this is what I have tried  \documentclass[fontsize=10pt]{article} \usepackage{verbatim} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{listings} \lstset{   morecomment=[s]{//},   basicstyle=\ttfamily\footnotesize,    commentstyle=\rmfamily }  \begin{document} \lipsum[4] \begin{lstlisting} void square(float d){return d*d;} // formated with listings \end{lstlisting} {\footnotesize \begin{verbatim} void square(float d){return d*d;} // formatted with verbatim \end{verbatim} } \end{document}   and I get this (compared with the output of verbatim):    The individual letters are identical but the listings ouput uses a lot more space. Is there a way to obtain in the listings package a result similar than in verbatim?
I used the following code to list my java code, but the it looks like there's too much space between words. What can I do?  % source code listing \usepackage{listings} \usepackage{color} \usepackage{xcolor}  \usepackage{caption}  % citation style \usepackage{apacite} \DeclareCaptionFont{white}{\color{white}} \DeclareCaptionFormat{listing}{\colorbox{gray}{\parbox{\textwidth}{#1#2#3}}}  \begin{document} \begin{lstlisting}[label=some-code,caption=bind to service call] bindService(new Intent(this, Recognizer.class), recConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE); \end{lstlisting} \end{document}   The snapshot of what I got. The code not completely shown, and space too wide, in function bindService.
How do I convert between big-endian and little-endian values in C++? For clarity, I have to translate binary data (double-precision floating point values and 32-bit and 64-bit integers) from one CPU architecture to another.  This doesn't involve networking, so ntoh() and similar functions won't work here.  Note: The answer I accepted applies directly to compilers I'm targeting (which is why I chose it).  However, there are other very good, more portable answers here. Does an Evocation shield have a reactive utility to it? How many arguments does a function require, and how to use that in `Manipulate` How can we remove the launcher that come with Unity on this new Ubuntu version ? Are estimates of regression coefficients uncorrelated? Consider a simple regression (normality not assumed): $$Y_i = a + b X_i + e_i,$$ where $e_i$ is with mean $0$ and standard deviation $\sigma$. Are the Least Square Estimates of $a$ and $b$ uncorrelated? ${{2\pi i=0}}$? I was trying to solve for $i^i$.  I got distracted and did the following: $e^{i \theta} = \cos(\theta) + i\sin(\theta)$ $e^{i 2\pi} = cos(2\pi) + i\sin(2\pi) = 1$ ||| Take ln() of two sides of equation: $\ln(e^{i2\pi}) = \ln(1)$ $i2\pi = 0$ Clearly this is false. What did I do wrong? Can Wolverine survive without oxygen? . Even poisons don't work on him. He seems immortal due to his regeneration powers.  Can he survive without oxygen while his body exists in full working state (I am not talking about skeleton-only Wolverine when his respiratory system is not available)? Quantum Field Theory from a mathematical point of view I'm a student of mathematics with not much background in physics. I'm interested in learning Quantum field theory from a mathematical point of view.  Are there any good books or other reference material which can help in learning about quantum field theory? What areas of mathematics should I be familiar with before reading about Quantum field theory? Notebook computer battery says: plugged in but not charging with no further information. Is the battery bad already? My 1.5 year old Dell Studio 15 notebook computer has a battery and I keep it attached to the notebook but 98% of the time I just plug in the power adapter.  Lately when I unplugged the power adapter, the battery was only good for 10 minutes, and a few days ago, when I unplugged the power adapter, the computer simply turned off.  When clicking on the battery icon on Win 7, it says "Plugged in, not charging":    is the battery dead?  Or can Windows 7 have any option to not charge the battery?  It is a Dell Studio 15, I wonder if in such case, it looks like it can be a manufacture's defect, would Dell replace the battery? (if there was a recall, then they probably would, i think).  The notebook is 1.5 year old. How do I make Thunderbird open links in Chromium? I want to be able to click links in Thunderbird emails and have them open in Chromium (package name chromium-browser). Instead, they open in Firefox.  I have tried the following:   xfce preferred applications (Chromium is not listed, so I had to hunt down the executable) -- next time I run chromium, it complains that it is no longer the default browser. Telling Chromium to set itself as the default browser. Thunderbird opens links in Firefox. update-alternatives. It's already listed as an alternative at the same priority as Firefox. The "open web browser" app menu item opens Chromium. Thunderbird opens links in Firefox.   I have looked through the entire preferences gui in Thunderbird (but not the advanced config editor yet) and seen nothing that mentions what browser to open links in.  Please note that this is not Google Chrome. How do you add more than one phone number on iMessage? My sisters and I all have iPhones under the same account. I also have an iPad under the same account. I am trying to get the iMessage on my iPad compatible with my phone number, not email address.   The only phone number choice to choose from is my sister's iPhone number. How can I choose my phone number for iMessage on my iPad? I would like a way to convert a document from HTML to LaTeX on a Windows platform. What is my best option? Cortana Search is not finding applications on Windows 10 For the past several versions (since Windows Vista, I think), if you hit the Windows key and start typing, Windows will search for applications.  Since upgrading to Windows 10 with , she is only hit or miss at finding applications. And she doesn't do partial searches, either.  Some examples:   WinKey + type "Paint" does not find "mspaint". Instead it suggests some applications from the store. WinKey + type "Excel" does not find Excel. Nor does typing "Word" find Word. However, typing OneNote finds OneNote.   What is the reason for this behavior and how I can get Cortana to find the applications installed on my machine again? Is there a setting I am missing?    If I browse to "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" I can see that the shortcuts for these applications all still exist. But Cortana is not finding them. Everything from the Microsoft Office applications to  to  to hundreds of other applications I have installed.  Where can I set which folders Cortana indexes?    As you can see in the screen shot below, this Start Menu folder is, indeed, indexed:    However, none of these applications are coming back as search results from the "start" menu.  It may be related to  as well.  I did a brand new install of Skype (for desktop), and it shows up nowhere in the start menu. And typing in "Skype" to search for the application does not find it. But the shortcut to Skype is definitely in this location:  C:\Users\Patrick\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Skype     EDIT  The latest Windows 10 update (Threshold 2) has solved this issue for me. Cortana now finds all my files with no issues. Previously my only solution was to use , I've been able to uninstall that now and use the standard Windows Start menu. When are you supposed to use escape instead of encodeURI / encodeURIComponent? When encoding a query string to be sent to a web server - when do you use escape() and when do you use encodeURI() or encodeURIComponent():  Use escape:  escape("% +&amp;=");   OR  use encodeURI() / encodeURIComponent()  encodeURI("http://www.google.com?var1=value1&amp;var2=value2");  encodeURIComponent("var1=value1&amp;var2=value2"); Detect init system using the shell If $l$ and $n$ are any positive integers, is there a  proof of the identity     $$\sum_{k=0}^{n}(-1)^{k}\binom{n}{k}(l-k)^n=n!\;$$   which uses the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle?  (If necessary, restrict to the case where $l\ge n$.)    This question is closely related to   and also How to support different screen size in android How do we know that $F = ma$, not $F = k \cdot ma$ How do I test a private function or a class that has private methods, fields or inner classes? $$f(x,y) = \left\{\begin{array}{cc} \frac{xy}{x^2+y^2} &amp; (x,y)\neq(0,0) \\ f(x,y) = 0 &amp; (x,y)=(0,0) \end{array}\right.$$  In order to verify if this function is differentiable, I tried to prove it by the theorem that says that if $\frac{∂f}{∂x}$ and $\frac{∂f}{∂y}$ exist and are continuous at the point $(x_0,y_0)$, then the function is differentiable at this point. So I did:  $$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(0,0) = \lim_{h\to 0}\frac{f(0+h,0)-f(0,0)}{h} = 0$$ $$\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}(0,0) = \lim_{h\to 0}\frac{f(0,0+h)-f(0,0)}{h} = 0$$  so we have that the partial derivatives at point $(0,0)$ is $0$. Now, if we take the derivative at $(x,y)\neq (0,0)$ and then take the limit of it as $(x,y)\to(0,0)$, we can see if the derivatives are continuous or not. So here it is:  $$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(x,y) = \frac{y(y^2-x^2)}{(x^2+y^2)}$$  but   $$\lim_{(x,y)\to(0,0)} \frac{y(y^2-x^2)}{(x^2+y^2)} $$ does not exist (by wolfram alpha... but can anybody tell me an easy way to prove this limit does not exist? easier than taking the limit in different directions?), therefore the derivative is not continuous at $(0,0)$, so we can't say $f$ is differentiable at $(0,0)$, but for $(x,y)\neq (0,0)$ the function is continuous, as it is a quotient of continuous functions. So $f$ is at least differentiable at $(x,y)\neq (0,0)$.   Now, to verify differentiability at $(0,0)$ I think we must use the limit definition of differentiablity: A function is differentiable at $(0,0)$ iff: $$\lim_{(h,k)\to (0,0)} \frac{f(0+h,0+k)-f(0,0)-\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(0,0)-\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}(0,0)}{\|(h,k)\|} = 0$$  Let's calculate this limit:  $$\lim_{(h,k)\to (0,0)} \frac{f(0+h,0+k)-f(0,0)-\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(0,0)-\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}(0,0)}{\|(h,k)\|} = \\ \lim_{(h,k)\to (0,0)} \frac{\frac{hk}{h^2+k^2}}{\sqrt{h^2+k^2}} = \\ \lim_{(h,k)\to (0,0)} \frac{hk}{(h^2+k^2)\sqrt{h^2+k^2}}$$  which I think, it's a limit that does not exist, therefore the function isn't differentiable at $(0,0)$
