Someone posted this list[^] on Quora, I figured I'd spam y'all with it, haha.
I had no idea there were so many different algorithms, and reading through them is quite educational. One of those "huh, I feel smarter but I don't know if I actually am smarter" experiences.

Just saying stuff like this makes you feel more intelligent.
I am improving my Modular Multiplicative Inverse code today, and after that I'll re-work my Floyd Warshall class.
Read that aloud, and all of a sudden you want to go write a new OS or something

It's way more complicated than I ever knew!  The simple way is just to agree or at least pretend to.

There are infinitely many algorithms. There aren't as many interesting algorithms, but the number of them is huge and that list doesn't even scratch the surface.

I use all of them all the time but now I know their names...
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.
