For me, I learn mostly for practical use, so for instance I want to build a markov chain generator:

- I refresh up on probabilities in general

- I look at the markov chain wiki article

- I look at related pages to see what else I could do

- etc. (goto step 2/3)

I will say it: Wikipedia. You do need to have the common knowledge used to describe the topics but Wikipedia is an amazing source.

(out of your list, I mainly looked at Game Theory, Probability, and Statistics there).

The "thank you" emails seems to be a tradition/expectation of the classic corporate culture where the employer has a extreme amount of candidates for each opening and each candidate must please the interviewer at all cost. (e.g. a extreme imbalance in power between employer/candidate).

Quite contrary to the "startup" culture where there is a limited amount of candidates for each opening and where it's acknowledged that candidates might get multiple offers (e.g. a more balanced employer/candidate power)

What would be interesting is that we move away from domain blacklists (e.g. adblocks, /etc/hosts, pi hole, etc.) to domain/ips whitelists (like firewalls).

Sounds like a pain.

Hi, do you handle something similar to buildpacks and heroku addons? The price is very attractive. I should get around to try it this week.

Maybe "meaningful" would be a better choice of word, not sure.

I don't see this happening, even if that's a good rule, because issues come up that take higher priority than existing issues.

I think he puts Twitter there because he doesn't use it. If you follow the right people it actually promotes intelligent discourse.
