There's insane amounts of great stuff hidden in the various nooks and crannies of the NIST website. Some of my other favorites: Engineering Statistics Handbook http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/index.htm Digital Library of Mathematical Functions http://dlmf.nist.gov/ The Quantum Algorithm Zoo http://math.nist.gov/quantum/zoo/

Agreed on the Engineering Statistics Handbook, especially Section 5 on Process Improvement, which contains a decent (and free) treatment of Design of Experiments. A lot of the earlier sections are ok but not as sharply interesting, but their DoE stuff is quite good.

This dictionary looks like it's the index of The Algorithm Design Manual by Skiena: http://www.amazon.com/Algorithm-Design-Manual-Steve-Skiena/d...

I was thinking the same thing. The catalog of algorithms at the end of the book is indispensable.

This site does seem to cover a much broader range of algorithms though.

I was just reading this section yesterday!

a two-minute css-pivot to make homepage a little easier on the eyes. http://www.csspivot.com/az9fT

This is awesome. Finally a solution for all those white on black blogs.

I disagree. Browser side user-css files are the solution to this 'problem' (honestly, my main gripe is low contrast, mainly the gray on white that is the last fashion these days)

opera is the only one that got it right. easy to write the css in a way it works for most sites, and a very convenient way to turn it on/off. too bad opera is ridden with bugs since 8.5 and so i gave up.
