my learning philosophy:
1. you can learn anything
2. you can do it way faster than you think
3. so choose an insanely aggressive goal
4. shorten your timeline by 10-100x what you expect
5. pre-requisites are a myth. try to do the thing first, figure out what you don't know yet, and go learn that stuff. don't think you need to learn a bunch of stuff before you can do stuff. learn backwards not forwards
6. be highly selective with your learning resources, most resources are garbage
7. it only takes 1 really high quality resource on a topic to learn it well
8. building & talking to people are where you learn almost everything
9. anything else should just be to accomplish these 2 things. you learn more so you can build stuff, or so you can have a productive conversation with someone experienced

What does your old Galaxy S5 sitting in a drawer and the Mars Ingenuity helicopter have in common?

A Snapdragon 801 ARM CPU!

But wait, don't chips on Mars have to be Radiation Hardened?

Yes! The processor bitflips approximately every few minutes. JPL's solution was to hold two copies of memory and double check operations as much as possible. If any difference is detected; reboot.

Ingenuity will start to fall out of the sky, but it comes back online in a few hundred milliseconds to continue flying.

The Italian Ministry of Justice cites Rickrolling as a cybercrime, then provides a "source link" to what looks like a dictionary but is actually a video of Rick Astley's song

50% of me is "well played," 50% of me is "this is supposed to be serious"

Someone built a frontend to Reddit that looks like Outlook so you can browse it all day at work without worrying about who is looking over your shoulder.

I love the internet.
