Norman Ramsey at StackOverflow once asked: My group uses Literate Programming for most of our source code—this means that internal documentation is written using LaTeX. We have been using PStricks for fancy technical diagrams of the system, but have recently been recommended to use TikZ. I’ve gathered this information:
TikZ/PGF is new and maintained; PStricks went a [...]

In a group of at least 23 randomly chosen people, there is more than 50% probability that some pair of them will have the same birthday. Such a result is counter-intuitive to many. In probability theory, thi is known as the birthday problem, or birthday paradox. Here is how we calculate [...]

To achieve this goal, we need use the concept of literate programming, yet another one of Donald Knuth’s contributions to the world. LP “represents a move away from writing programs in the manner and order imposed by the computer, and instead enables programmers to develop programs in the order demanded by the logic and flow [...]
