Welcome to the PASTE Wiki! The PASTE stands for Patterns, Algorithms, Solutions, Techniques, and Examples (inspired by this HN comment) and it's goal is to collect the world's knowledge of all things programming related. This Wiki is very new so please feel free to add new pages.

How is this different from Wikifunctions?

While Wikifunctions is:

A library of code functions to support the Wikimedia projects and beyond, in the world's natural and programming languages.[1]

The PASTE Wiki aims to be a more general resource, which can be anything from "This is how Dijkstra's Algorithm works" to "Why logging is important and how to do it" to "These are the tradeoffs of using different databases".
