Where do people keep these algorithms around? I've asked in the past about reference guides for stuff like this they throw Knuth's "Art of Computer Programming" which is a neat book but doesn't have esoteric and useful but hard to find stuff like this.
Where do I find stuff like this?!
- nl 15y agohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_algorithms http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_algorithms (seriously! Scan it, choose something that looks interesting and you'll have hours of fun ahead of you.)
- iambot 15y agoAs much as it seems like common sense as that page would exist on Wikipedia, it had never occurred to me, Brilliant - Thank you.
- sown 15y agoThanks, but neither fountain nor rateless codes appear on that page. :(
- nl 15y agoNo, but it does link to Forward error correction, which links to fountain codes as well as rateless codes.
- sc00ter 15y agoI don't pretend to understand most of it, but to my untrained eye, "Clever Algorithms" seems to be a phenomenal resource and available as a free PDF, or in print: http://www.cleveralgorithms.com/ http://www.cleveralgorithms.com/ Edit: Discussion here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2141542 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2141542
