Simulation of common page replacement algorithms in C launched on May 16, 2015 with 19 votes, #1,251 of 3,670 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 11 years on.

In plain words

Pagesim is a C-based tool that simulates common page replacement algorithms used by operating systems to manage memory. It demonstrates how different algorithms handle memory page allocation and eviction. The project is designed for students and developers learning about operating system memory management concepts and the trade-offs between various algorithmic approaches.

    Not all improvements come from adding complexity — sometimes it's about removing it. PageIndex takes a different approach to RAG. Instead of relying on vector databases or artificial chunking, it builds a hierarchical tree structure from documents and uses reasoning-based tree search to locate the most relevant sections. This mirrors how humans approach reading: navigating through sections and context rather than matching embeddings. As a result, the retrieval feels transparent, structured, and explainable. It moves RAG away from approximate "semantic vibes" and toward explicit reasoning…
