In fact, “15 Sorting Algorithms in 6 Minutes” — created by Timo Bingmann, a PhD student at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology — is one of the most weirdly hypnotic viewing experiences ...

A formula used to reorder data into a new sequence. Like all complicated problems, there are many solutions that can achieve the same results, and one sort algorithm can re-sequence data faster ...

The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal.

Transformation. Next comes the heart of an algorithm – computation. Computations involve arithmetic, decision-making and repetition. So, how does this apply to getting dressed?

The algorithm addresses something called the library sorting problem (more formally, the “list labeling” problem). The challenge is to devise a strategy for organizing books in some kind of sorted ...

It’s still not perfect, since even that sorting is done by TikTok’s algorithm, but it puts a bit more of the control in your hands. Facebook and Twitter both let you sort by recent posts, ...

Despite backlash about confusing ordering, Instagram now says relevancy sorting has led to its 800 million-plus users seeing 90 percent of their friends’ posts and […] TechCrunch Desktop Logo ...
