My first contact with entropy was in chemistry and thermodynamics and I didn't get it. Actually I didn't get anything from engineering thermodynamics books such as Çengel and so.

You must go to statistical mechanics or information theory to understand entropy. Or trying these PRICELESS NOTES from Prof. Suo: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UMwpoDRZLlawWlL2Dz6YEomy...

The way I understand it is with an analogy to probability. To me, events are to microscopic states like random variable is to entropy.

I just find another alternative to Git called Grace. It's made by a Microsoft employee with F#.

According to entropy, and thermodynamics in general, I can't recommend enough the notes [0] of prof. Zhigang Suo of Harvard. It's a new way of presenting thermodynamics and I finally get it... contrary to when I took a thermo course at university.

Also prof. Suo puts entropy as the main character of the "play". The other concepts (temperature, etc.) are defined from entropy.

Sorry, don't count with me. I don't like using on my code symbols I don't have on my keyboard. I still prefer LaTeX for math notation.

For normal text my new hope is Djot, a lighweight markup language by the creator of Pandoc.

Also with gold. Some news headlines: "Turkey tightens regulation of jewellers after demand for gold soars", "Turkey's Erdogan repeats call for citizens to convert forex, gold holdings".
