Online computer science archives

March 16, 2005 | Computer Science, Link of the Day | By: Mark VandeWettering

Those gents over at Lambda the Ultimate have a nice list of online computer science archives. I read stuff like this for fun, so I thought I’d archive this here so I can find it again.

Incidently, does the following character: — λ — look like a lambda to you? In Bitstream Vera Sans, it looks like a delta in Firefox at certain sizes. Bizarre.

Update: How ’bout this character: λ? Still looks bad to me… This is with the direct Unicode specification, rather than λ…

No problems for me in Firefox. Does the “delta” you’re seeing include the bar across the bottom? The two possibilities I can think of are either that it’s an uppercase lambda, which has no ascender, or that it’s a rendering problem causing the ascender to be clipped.
