Cute, though does appear to be limited by browser initialwindow size. Thing about prime numbers - ask yourself this question: Does the universe operate on base 10! Endless fun aint they.
What does the base have to do with anything?

Oh? And what insights do you have share with us about prime numbers? Do tell.
Number theory is a big field and prime numbers are its core. There are tons of discoveries about prime numbers in the history and now people are quite focusing on Zeta function and the Riemann hypothesis, check out this chart http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/30/Riemann_z... .

I meant what you know. Not what wikipedia knows.

#53Stop it, stop it, stop it, just stop. Once an article reaches the front page, it's title is no longer editable. It causes confusion and frustration, and is obviously an issue that a lot of people dislike. I don't care about prime numbers, this article was all about the visualization to me. Every time a title gets changed like this, you are telling your user base that you don't care about what they think. I feel like…
What are you talking about?
The title originally included something like "visualization with D3.js", which has been removed for some reason

He's talking about the inability of Hacker News submissions to retain their title when it differs from the title of the article. This is particularly bothersome when the title of the article is something vague like "Prime number patterns" or "On concepts and realities."
It is against the rules to talk about this problem, though. From the guidelines: "Please don't post on HN to ask or tell us something (e.g. to ask us questions about Y Combinator, or to ask or complain about moderation). If you want to say something to us, please send it to info@ycombinator.com."

you are taking me wrong, what I meant was the title is misleading, that's it. I didn't intend to show off my knowledge or just to downplay others.

>if you can mathematically describe and analyze this set of periodic curves, then you have also described and can analyze the prime numbers. Dude, no offense, you are really making stuff up. The periodicity has to to with the divisors of the composites. Every prime p has exactly 2 curves - the wave of period 1, and the wave of period p. There's nothing interesting or useful to take way from that observation. otoh, yo…
It does give you a good intuition as to why twin primes aka N, N+2 are so common.
how so ?

So not that we'll "discuss" it, but is there an article link or a blog post available that explains the perceived rationale behind this most vexatious and utterly inane misfeature?

...and which was why I clicked on the article in the first place. Because the title was, you know, helpful and descriptive.

Not really. There is a lot of discussion in the first few results here: https://www.google.com/search?q=site:news.ycombinator.com+st...
