Re: Shortcut to Wolfram|Alpha [wolfram://]

in reply to Shortcut to Wolfram|Alpha [wolfram://]

Linking to Wolfram|Alpha may be somewhat fraught. Because its content and search algorithm is evolving the result of a particular search today may be quite different than performing the same search yesterday. Maybe that's not a major issue in general use, but it does provide a disincentive to use where a stable result from the link is desired. On the other hand, maybe that is no worse than linking some Wikipedia pages.

True laziness is hard work

Right. While some things are constant, there are others which are subject to change. The question is: when?	[reply]
