    Humanoido,

    Since all of your links refer to the same external website, wouldn't it have been more honest just to provide a link to that site, rather than attempting to catalog it here with deep links?

    Absolutely not. Frankly Phil, I think this is the most logical way to do this as it opens up more topics which can be seen at a glance and directly link-followed. Just posting a link with no specific information in a list that will be expanded would be extremely ineffective. This list can be thought of as a catalog too. And this is a totally honest way to provide direct links to each topic under the domain name. As you can see, all the links are different to these topics, even if they are under the same domain at this point. That will evolve, as the list is just the beginning (there will be more additions under each classification, at least that is the plan) and it's important to specifically list the topic of each, no matter which web site it comes from. Now Phil, can you contribute to the topic of this post with something meaningful?

    Can you?

    Seriously, cataloging a site like that, which stands on its own very well, just so you can put your name on it does not add any more value to it than a vanity plate adds to a car. It's simply dishonest to imply otherwise.

    It would have been much better to provide one link to their main site, with maybe a brief outline of what it provides, along with a request for links to other sites that also provide useful algorithms.

    Phil, take it easy, hope you can get some rest and I wish you well.

    Wikipedia has a good algorithm list here.

    Sorry, but I'm with Phil on this one. To present an index for a site like this can lead a reader to believe that if a topic isn't on your index, then it (said topic) isn't covered on the site, and then not bother checking the site.

    Even if you index "every topic" covered, are you (or someone) going to maintain that as that site (or any other for that matter) changes? This starts to get into the realm of "inaccurate or outdated information is worse than no information".

    It would potentially be a different matter if the site didn't have any usable index or lookup functions, but that is not the case here.

    We should give Humanoido a break. He may have missed the link to the morality code at http://glossary.computing.society.informs.org/index.php?page=morality.html .

    I didn't know a disclaimer is needed to post public links in a public forum, but to keep honest here it is.

    Disclaimer: The links posted to various web sites in this Parallax General Discussion thread under the subject heading of Algorithms are in no way associated with Humanoido, unless otherwise noted.

    Humanoido, I was just having a little fun. However, I would be concerned about the other thread you started on PI. Let's hope that Phil doesn't find out about that one. :)

    Phil, John, and Dave, please rearrange the first post the way you feel it should look to be correct and better serve the community, while maintaining the individual algorithm topic categories so more useful links can be posted. I'm looking forward to seeing your representations.

    I just had to laugh Phil, I own vanity plates... have had them (KAOSKID) for the better part of 15 years or so... in two states, and they do change the car... it makes it mine. LOL...
    [/OFFTOPIC]

    I kind of like it Hanno... It gives a preview of what to find there. Now, if only this forum made it possible to have a "favorites" or "save" thread list so we can have a single place for book marks like this....

    Phil doesn't have time to do this, as he's fighting with the lack of features in the Prop Tool "IDE"... (See the Suggestions forum) :-)

    That illustrates my point exactly! The difference here is that Humanoido does not own the other site but is bolting his vanity plates to it nonetheless.

    Well, anyway, I've started a tempest in a teapot and shall (try to) refrain from further comment. Besides, it's probably unfair of me to point a finger. I, also, have been known to confuse activity with accomplishment on occasion. :)

    This Pi thread points out some amazing algorithms. It also brings up the possibilities of the square root of two which has a world of its own.

    I found your take on it very interesting and useful no matter how others interpret it. I was expecting to see the prop code that produced the output you provided.
