`^^` isn't a function. It's a syntax. Just as `2.` means "the numeric version of 2" and not the integer, `16^^ab` means "the number 171". This is handled by the parser, not the interpreter which is why `FullForm[Hold[16^^A]]` is `Hold[10]`. ...
Mathematica 10 comes with, and should use, its own installation of Java (specifically a Java 7, I believe at `$InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/Java`). There should be no need to install Java yourself, even on Mac. I'm suspicious of the space...
I wish I could provide some insight as to **why** this is happening -- unless Workbench was still running or did not exit cleanly? -- but I believe that you'll find that you have a file `\WolframWorkspaces\Base\.metadata\.lock` (and similar for the...
You can also use Ordering.In[205]:= Ordering[{0.1, 0.03, 0, 4}, {1}] Out[205]= {3}(because the Min is actually 0, because 0
In[25]:= ToString[Unevaluated[foo /@ {1, 2}], InputForm,            CharacterEncoding -> "ASCII"]  Out[25]= "foo /@ {1, 2}" 
The first 2 don't work because the Condition on the rhs is interpreted as a condition. The third one doesn't work because HoldPattern doesn't prevent the interpretation of Condition, merely evaluations. The last one doesn't work because Verbatim...
For those that assume the last line is terminated by a new line, here's another approach[mcode]newlines = 1 - Unitize[bytes - 10]; formfeeds = 1 - Unitize[bytes - 13]; both = Rest[newlines]*Most[formfeeds]; Total[newlines] + Total[formfeeds] -...
Or SetAlphaChannel on the one that's missing a transparency.
Oops; that's obviously a factor of 100, not 1000. And over 10 of that (down to ~.01s) is recovered if you wrap the Append[...] in Dispatch.
Well, an absolutely terrible way of solving the specific question is to use Trace: [mcode]In[72]:= getUsage2[s_String]:=Extract[Trace[Symbol[s]],2,Apply[Function[symb,MessageName[symb,"usage"],{HoldFirst}],#]&] In[73]:= getUsage2["Plot"] Out[73]=...
