Website code from the Dev Console / Element Inspector in Chrome.
In terms what I return to, I refer to the LZ algorithm quite often. LZ77 and LZ78 are beautiful in the simplicity and power of their logic. I used to like to look at PRNGs, for example the one in RC4, and hashes. I like the question -- "How do they get so much entropy from so few lines?"
Occasionally I'll look at a one or two line functional programming routine in Python to see about the question, "How can this be done more neatly, elegantly, simply or quickly?"
Algorithms are beautiful, not the code. Code is just worldly forms, which are all an illusion.
