peralmq··on Notation as a Tool of Thought (1979)
Good point. Notation matters in how we explore ideas.

Reminds me of Richard Feynman. He started inventing his own math notation as a teenager while learning trigonometry. He didn’t like how sine and cosine were written, so he made up his own symbols to simplify the formulas and reduce clutter. Just to make it all more intuitive for him.

And he never stopped. Later, he invented entirely new ways to think about physics tied to how he expressed himself, like Feynman diagrams (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman_diagram) and slash notation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman_slash_notation).

peralmq··on Show HN: Turned Facebook Messenger into a JavaScript REPL
Hey, yes, sorry, I had misunderstood the Facebook Messenger bot review process. Thought that it was enough to publish the Facebook page in order to be able to receive and send messages to external people. Now the page can receive messages but those messages never make it to the server where the bot is located, and hence no response ever makes it back to you.. :(

Good news is that if you follow Facebook's guide to create a Messenger bot you can easily deploy this code and play around with it yourself. It works great to receive and send messages but only for the owner of the page/bot :)

I'll update you if I get the required permission from Facebook and the bot becomes publicly accessible.
