Tony Hoare's 1965 proposal for adding records to Algol. It's quite nice.

"A qp trie is like a crit-bit trie (aka patricia trie) except each branch is indexed by a few bits at a time instead of one bit. The array of sub-tries at a branch node is compressed using the popcount trick to omit unused branches." I'm thinking about teaching crit-bit tries in CMP201 next year...

A simplified version of the PATRICIA trie; allows the operations of a hash plus lexicographic lookup, with potentially better efficiency (although I guess you need to be careful about locality).

Exploring Binary - Binary Numbers, Binary Code, and Binary Logic edit / delete
A blog with infrequent posts, owing to its very specific subject. Posts include things like "How GLIBC’s strtod() Works". Actually very good, and probably of interest to students who're trying to remember those lectures I did about this kind of thing in the first year.

Simple, Fast, and Practical Non-Blocking and Blocking Concurrent Queue Algorithms edit / delete
"Drawing ideas from previous authors, we present a new non-blocking concurrent queue algorithm and a new two-lock queue algorithm in which one enqueue and one dequeue can proceed concurrently." From 1996.

Why Bloom filters work the way they do | DDI edit / delete
Good explanation of Bloom filters. (This'd be a nice example of a data structure to explain for FYP.)

Hashes with deliberate collisions for similar data in Python. This is the sort of thing I'm after for location-based hashing in a simulation framework.
