After tweets have proved themselves, remove them from the site and hawk them to comedians. You'd just need one motivated buyer willing to spend a lot. Or better yet, use them yourself like William Shatner used Sarah Palin (giving back som

Good teachers do try to use consistent notation, but they also understand the need to communicate with the rest of the world and so end up having to teach historical accidents. Here's a fun one: pi is wrong! http://www.math.utah.edu/~palai

Sussman's critique of mathematical notation is hollow. The point of good notation is to hide the details while conveying the high level compactly and succinctly. Lagrange's equations written the way he derides are a perfect example. His n

Learning math on the internet is hard. Different people use different notations and assume different backgrounds. I encourage the poster to read and learn more about exterior algebras! Once you've seen Stoke's theorem, the Hodge decomposi

The syntax for this is quite nice. call_me(^int (int x, int y) { return x + y; }); I like it quite a bit better than the proposed c++ lambda syntax. [](int x, int y) -> int { return x + y; } The ^ is very ananogous to *.

Interesting, but I don't see mention of this in Javascript spec ( http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST... ), so I'm guessing it's not portable.

It would be nice if you would overlay the help image over the input box instead of forcing me to go to a non-functional page to see it. I don't want to have to "go back" to use what I learned.
