I found this place back in 1996. It still rules.

They host some archives of older drug sites, too! I went from almost failing organic chem to actually understanding it and getting an A after discovering https://the-hive.archive.erowid.org/ back in 1999.

There's also eBird, which is for logging what birds you've seen, run by the same people. https://ebird.org

My wife is an obsessive birder and reports everything here.

Deeper reading of and repeated interaction with single, independent web pages really did improve people’s lives back then, which I think is part of the ethos of this thread. It doesn’t seem like that happens so much anymore (definitely not in the public way it did with blogging only a decade ago. Maybe it does and I’m just old and closed minded.

Here’s an example of a genre that should have some representation in the repository:https://ai.stanford.edu/~moises/tutorial/index.htm a semester long slideshow on Bayesian networks. I think these kinds of html textbooks are treasures, especially when they use plainer language. There are good ones covering a lot of courses.

e2: you could use the slides to design a y2k state of the art spam filter
e: you can see the whole course in plain black-and-white times new Roman if you click around a bit.

yeah, I love it when someone just decides “hey, I’m gonna be a tectonics simulation guy” and writes everything about it

almost scratches the SimEarth itch … though I bet the simulation results are a lot easier to export and more realistic
