Wolfram: Computable Document Format (CDF)
Wolfram: Computable Document Format (CDF)
Launched by the Wolfram Group, the CDF standard is a computation-powered knowledge container—as everyday as a document, but as interactive as an app.
Adopting CDF gives ideas a broad communication pipeline—accelerating research, education, technical development, and progress.
Le “viewer” demande 684MB d’espace! On est loin d’adobe flash quand meme, ce qui explique qu’il est plus gourmand. Le rendu 3D me semble un peu ordinaire, mais l’idee pourrait interesser les matheux qui veulent partager des documents.

Nerdy Day Trips
Our fantasy is that on any given road trip, you will be able to find a nerd stop somewhere along your route, or perhaps even plot out a nerd odyssey across the UK.
Et il y a maintenant beaucoup de liens en dehors du Royaume Uni.

The new programs, called Context-Free Grep and Hierarchical Diff, will provide the ability to parse blocks of data rather than single lines. For each new type of data structure, a vendor would provide a pattern library identifying the basic structure of the data, which the software would then use to “extract the constructs of interest from the document,” Weaver said.
Yet Another Cantor Crank
Good Math, Bad Math: Yet Another Cantor Crank
The problem with the run-of-the-mill Cantor crank is that they never even try to actually address Cantor’s proof. They just say “look, here’s a mapping that works!”
So the entire disproof of their “refutation” of Cantor’s proof is… Cantor’s proof. They completely ignore the thing that they’re claiming to disprove.
Pas mal, n’est-ce pas? LOL
