local archives
every once in a while I find something on the web so cool that it
demands to be mirrored, lest it disappear forever into the ether.
algorithms
- fairly comprehensive archive of string searching algorithms,
complete with explanations, visual diagrams and example code.
- excellent archive of explanation, slides and code on Ternary Trees (one of my
favorite text searching algorithms). following the links back
to Dr. Dobb's, I remembered this as the main piece of work
inspiring Napster's fast search algorithms.
- Dictionary of Algorithms and
Data Structures (aka DADS) is a dictionary of
algorithms, algorithmic techniques, data structures,
archetypical problems, and related definitions.
- Algorithm Archive -
a reasonably good algorithm and data structures archive of
information. Hasn't been updated in a long while, but still
quite useful if you're tooling around for explanations and
source code examples of sorting algorithms or tree structures.
- Fravia's Pages of Reverse
Engineering - the most elite online reference to
reverse engineering there ever was. it was taken off the 'net
because Fravia was pissed off with the general attitude of
people using his stuff; he did this all for the sake of art
and challenge, and everyone used it to just break and steal
software. it lives on in other places, apparently.. (check
out Fravia's new
site).
introspection
just for kicks
