Don Norman's jnd.org / Toilet Paper Algorithms: I didn't know you had to be a computer scientist to use toilet paper.

When we remodeled our home, we decided to install a dual toilet-tissue holder. Most home toilets have a single holder for a single roll. A single roll, however commonplace, is, well, shall I say, awkward. When the roll empties, then what? As a result, whenever we saw the roll approaching exhaustion, we would place a new roll either on the floor beside the toilet or on top of the toilet tank. In either case, we were defeating the nice orderly arrangement of the facility. Wouldn't it be far better to have a place to put the roll?

Useless Factor: A couple GC algorithms in more detail

I hope to give a somewhat more specific explanation of two incremental (and potentially concurrent or parallel, but we'll ignore that for now) GC algorithms: Yuasa's snapshot-at-the-beginning incremental mark-sweep collector, and the MC2 algorithm.

xkcd • View topic - Genetic Algorithms

From recreational reading lately i ve gotten interested in genetic algorithms. read: this would be for fun I do not have a coding background straight theoretical EE here but I was thinking about building my own GA programs. Unfortunately, the books i ve read are all theory.

Fast inverse square root

Computing reciprocal square roots is necessary in many applications, such as vector normalization in video games. Often, some loss of precision is acceptable for a large increase in speed. This note examines and improves a fast method found in sourcecode for several online libraries, and provides the ideas to derive similar methods for other functions.

APOD: 2008 May 17 - Logarithmic Spirals

Uncomfortably close Typhoon Rammasun and 25 million light-year distant galaxy M101 don't seem to have much in common. But they do look amazingly alike: each with arms exhibiting the shape of a simple and beautiful mathematical curve known as a logarithmic spiral, a spiral whose separation grows in a geometric way with increasing distance from the center.

FingerTree - Fullscreen

We introduce 2-3 finger trees, a functional representation of persistent sequences supporting access to the ends in amortized constant time, and concatenation and splitting in time logarithmic in the size of the smaller piece.

Sorting Algorithms Demo

The following applets chart the progress of several common sorting algorithms while sorting an array of data using in-place algorithms. This means that the algorithms do not allocate additional storage to hold temporary results: they sort the data in place.

Want to Remember Everything You'll Ever Learn? Surrender to This Algorithm

SuperMemo is based on the insight that there is an ideal moment to practice what you've learned. Practice too soon and you waste your time. Practice too late and you've forgotten the material and have to relearn it. The right time to practice is just at the moment you're about to forget.
