Based in part on over 3,000 newsgroup articles written by Python veteran Fredrik Lundh since 1995, this book provides brief descriptions and sample scripts for all standard modules in the Python 2.0 library.
This report was originally written in 1992-1993. Therefore, some of its information is out-of-date. The Object Agency, Inc. believes, however, that the report still provides many useful insights.
The Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a format for storing compressed raster graphics. The compression engine is based on the Deflate method [RFC1951], designed by PKWare and originally used in PKZIP.
Kim Gräsman, January 2004 - how to flow context properties from client to server, and why it works the way it does. Unfortunately, it also unveils a couple of serious limitations.
Li Fan, Pei Cao and Jussara Almeida & Andrei Z. Broder - this new protocol, each proxy keeps a summary of the cache directory of each participating proxy, and checks these summaries for potential hits before sending any queries.
Any peer-to-peer publishing system must provide a mechanism for efficiently locating published documents. For censorship resistant systems, it is particularly important that the lookup mechanism be difficult to disable or abuse.
introduced by Marco Dorigo in 1992 in his PhD thesis, is a probabilistic technique for solving computational problems which can be reduced to finding good paths through graphs. They are inspired by the behavior of ants in finding paths from the colony to food.
by Mark Larson. "The most important thing to remember is to TIME your code. Trying different tricks might or might not speed up your code. So it is very important to time your code to see if you do get a speedup as you try each trick."
Atom in its final state will be a massively multi-player online 3D first person perspective game set in a atomic or microscopic cell. (not as optimistic as the author but cool information there)
B-Trees are often mentioned as a good way to store and retrieve data, especially to and from disk. They're efficient to use and easy to program, and they're often mentioned but not-so often discussed. They show up all over the place.
