string
stringencoders A collection of high performance c-string transformations, frequently 2x faster than standard implementations (if they exist at all).
c++
Never trust a programmer who says he knows C++.
Yep.
Except that graph should just keep going down, down, down. :)
garbage
AS3 Garbage Collection - moral of story, don't make your app too deeply nested.
umm, it's not AS3 dude, it's you.
simple is better.
sqlite
We have an API
"So here?s my proposal. Instead of making us run slow crawlers on your APIs to access historical data, just provide a sqlite database we can download. It?s easier for everyone."

cochlea
Cochlea Modeling Retrospective (2007) - Video of talk by Dick Lyon
Talk given October 1, 2007 for the UC-Berkeley Ear Club.
Richard F. Lyon
Mountain View, CA
"Cochlea Modeling Retrospective"
There is a long history of cochlea modeling that people need to be
aware of, to help design, optimize, and evaluate neuromorphic hearing
systems. In particular, it's important to understand: the notions of
time-frequency and time-scale separation and the classes of filters
that these notions imply; the large-scale AGC and "essential"
nonlinearities that compress the wide dynamic range of sound into a
small representation range; the indirect relationship of transfer
functions to tuning curves; the relative properties of cascade and
parallel filterbanks; the need for higher-order poles to get
realistic transfer functions; why zeros are needed to keep the delay
realistic; and why and how to capture temporal structure for
subsequent processing. We review these topics and some early
contributions to this field.

FlashVars
You need to do FlashVars differently on IE and on the other browsers
FlashVars must be assigned in both the OBJECT and EMBED tags in order to work on all browsers.
Object Tag Example: (Internet Explorer)
<PARAM NAME=FlashVars VALUE="foo=Hello%20Worldgraph=first+line%0Dsecond+line">>
Embed Tag Example: (Other browsers)
<EMBED href="display.swf" FlashVars="foo=Hello%20Worldgraph=first+line%0Dsecond+line" ... (other parameters)></EMBED>

cannot
If when you are trying to make a custom MXML component in Flex and you get the error message:
Error: Could not resolve <sness:SimplePlay> to a component implementation.
Make sure you don't have both a SimplePlay.mxml and SimplePlay.as file in your current directory.
My solution is to name the mxml file "SimplePlay.mxml" and the .as file that this file includes named "_SimplePlay.as"
libquantum
libquantum - is a C library for the simulation of quantum mechanics, with a special focus laid to quantum computing. It started as a pure quantum computer simulator, but support for general quantum simulation has been recently added.

Just finished watching "Coco avant Chanel", and really enjoyed it. A little slow moving at times, but well done.

graph
raphaeljs - Raphael is a small JavaScript library that should simplify your work with vector graphics on the web. If you want to create your own specific chart or image crop and rotate widget, for example, you can achieve it simply and easily with this library.
gRaphael - gRaphael's goal is to help you create stunning charts on your website. It is based on Raphael graphics library. Check out the demos to see static and interactive charts in action.
