Markua Updated 2025-07-16

In leanpub you write your book in a markdown variant they call Markua, marketed as "markdown for books".

TODO is there a reference implementation that runs locally for HTML output? Or the only reference implementation is closed under leanpub?

Mt. Gox Updated 2025-07-16

The first Bitcoin exchange. Coded as a hack, and they didn't manage to fix the hacks as the site evolved in a major way, which led to massive hacks.

Their creation is clearly visible on the archive history of bitcoin.org: web.archive.org/web/20100701000000*/bitcoin.org which started having massively more archives since Mt. Gox opened.

LaTeX subset that output nicely to HTML.

Too insane though due to LaTeX roots, better just move to newer HTML-first markups like OurBigBook Markup or markdown.

One parameter subgroup Updated 2025-07-16

 View more

The one parameter subgroup of a Lie group for a given element

M

of its Lie algebra is a subgroup of

G

given by:

e^{tM} \in G ∣ t \in R

(1)

Intuitively,

M

is a direction, and

t

is how far we move along a given direction. This intuition is especially vivid in for example in the case of the Lie algebra of

SO (3)

, the rotation group.

One parameter subgroups can be seen as the continuous analogue to the cycle of an element of a group.

You can learn more from older students than from faculty Updated 2025-07-16

Wikipedia mentions quoting his Nobel Prize biography:

In Monod's studies he discovered that the course work was decades behind the current biological science. He learned from other students a little older than himself, rather than from the faculty.
