A note on book note URL's
The URL for each book note contained here is a base64-encoded URL. They are a smaller, base64 representation of the integer (base 10) ISBN-13 number that all books have. URLs should try their best to be constant and unchanging, and using the ISBN or book title was unappealing. Therefore, I transferred the ISBN to the base 64 numerical system, which gives slightly more pleasant URLs compared to an ISBN in base 10 or just the title of the book.
The encoding was done as follows:
import base64
def b64_isbn(isbn):
num_bytes = isbn.to_bytes(6, byteorder = 'big')
b64_bytes = base64.b64encode(num_bytes)
b64_isbn = b64_bytes.decode('ascii')
return b64_isbn
b64_isbn(9780385514590)
