Look, this will make the git history look funny, but trimming unnecessary depth from the source tree is a very necessary sanity-preserving measure when dealing with a super-modularized codebase like this one. While it makes the project configuration a bit less conventional, it will save you several clicks every time you jump between modules. Which you'll do a lot, because it's *modul*ar. The src/main/java convention makes a lot of sense for a non-modular project though. This ain't that.

An idea I've had for a long time with regards to navigating the web is to find a way to browse it. <br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
"Browse" a difficult word to use, because it has a newer connotation of just using a web browser, I mean it in the old pre-Internet sense, browse like when you flip through a magazine, or peruse an antiques shop, not really looking for anything in particular just sort of seeing if anything catches your eye. <br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Stumbleupon used to do this pretty well, although completely randomly. I wanted something with more direction. <br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
In a previous attempt, I had an idea that you could use outgoing links to accomplish effect, but the result just wasn't particularly impressive. With the discovery (and subsequent bastardization of) the PPR algorithm, I gave it another shot. <br>
|
|
<br>

I calculated a modified personalized pagerank for every domain in my search engine and stored it away in a database. This is about a million domains, but I excluded the periphery of the graph so in practice it was more like 150k domains that needed getting a ranking. It's easy to run this in parallel so it only took about two hours, that's manageable.<br>

The presentation is super sketchy and not nearly finished, but the effect is so cool I wanted to share it. <br>
