Big-O Poster [pdf] launched on July 5, 2016 with 55 votes, #1,318 of 3,671 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 10 years on.

In plain words

Big-O Poster is a PDF reference guide for computer science students and programmers learning algorithm complexity. It visualizes Big-O notation and time complexity comparisons in an easy-to-reference format. The poster breaks down common algorithm classes and their performance characteristics, making it useful for anyone studying data structures or preparing for technical interviews. It's hosted on GitHub as an open-source resource.

    Hi HN, We've discussed the Unix Magic poster before (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27029196). Like many of you, I love this poster and all the Unix references hidden in it. I built this as a static site that lets us annotate the Unix Magic poster by placing markers on references and adding descriptions to explain them. I've added a few so far, but there's much more to document. What I love about this approach is that contributions happen not just on the site itself but also through PRs, where we can discuss and refine the details of each reference. Feel free to send a…

  • Algorithms and Data Structures in TypeScript – Free Book (~400 Pages)Mar 2026 · amoilanen.github.io · ▲65

    I started writing this book 10 years ago in JavaScript, got through a few chapters (asymptotic notation, basic techniques, start of sorting), and then abandoned it. Recently I picked it back up, converted everything to TypeScript, and used AI (Zenflow [1] + Claude Opus 4.6) to complete the remaining chapters. I provided the structure, direction, and initial chapters; the AI generated the bulk of the remaining content under a spec-driven workflow. The book covers roughly a first 1-2 year CS curriculum: sorting, dynamic programming, graph algorithms, trees, heaps, hash tables, and more. All…
