My 2019 curated list of articles, resources and links on programming, math and computer science.

Posted: 25 Dec 2019 05:56 AM PST

Every year I bookmark many websites, tutorials and articles on mostly programming, math, technology and computer science. I go through them all in the end of the year and curate the best, unique and interesting stuff to make a list for myself (and discard the others).

I hope some will benefit you, ignite your interests further in computer science or find something interesting to read and learn. Enough talk, let's get to the meat!

Paperdigest, tracks and analyzes all new papers (ai, machine learning, vision, robotics, etc) uploaded to Arxiv and published on selected conferences, and then generates a one sentence summary for each paper to capture the paper highlight.
r/cogsci reading list, the cognitive science subreddit's reading list is an amazing resources with a lot of books, papers and articles if you're into cognitive science.
Gwern's Blog/Website, about psychology, statistics, and technology; Gwern writes about darknet markets & Bitcoin, blinded self-experiments & Quantified Self analyses, dual n-back & spaced repetition, and modafinil.
Superkeuh's Blog, A web log about sci-fi, technology.
endtoendAI, high quality information on different aspects of Artificial Intelligence, including Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning, and Computer Vision.
list of classic CS books on different topics by samort7.
Arrival's scientific and philosophical themes by DrTenmaz on Reddit.
Is the Universe Euclidean or Non-Euclidean?, a paper titled "Is the spacetime metric Euclidean rather than Lorentzian?", by Rafael D. Sorkin.
Terms of Service, Didn't Read, summarizes ToS of stuff, very useful as I always accept most of those, I mean, really? you have got time to read that?
Ask Historian's Master Book List, wanna read something old? then this post is gold!
LessWrong is a place to 1) develop and train rationality, and 2) apply one's rationality to real-world problems.
Neural Ambigrams, generate ambigrams using neural nets.
DeepIndex, Keeping track of what AI can do and where it is being applied
Project Lovelace, Project Lovelace is a bunch of free scientific programming problems.
Farmer and Farmer Review Eassay's on technology and the arts, exploring the relationship between humans and technology.
A huge list of Mathematical Fiction by Alex Kasman.
Zip Bomb, an article by David Fifield that shows how to construct a non-recursive zip bomb that achieves a high compression ratio by overlapping files inside the zip container.
How to pick a random number from 1-10, uniformly An excellent blog post on how to write a random number generator to pick a number uniformly, duh.
Words and Buttons Online — a growing collection of interactive tutorials, guides and quizzes about things generally considered boring. Maths, algorithms, performance, and programming languages.
Jane Street Puzzle Archieve, lot's of programming challenges at Jane Street.
Melting Asphalt, Essays about philosophy, human behavior, and occasionally software. Amazing content!
Unravelling the JPEG, a great interactive post on the JPEG format by parametric press.
Yehar's Blog, the very unique, interesting website of Olli Niemitalo who had also written about/had an idea about GANs waaay before it was published.
Nikoli is the first puzzle magazine in Japan. It has some great unique puzzles.
Building Blocks for Theoretical Computer Science by Margaret M. Fleck
Toy Wiki, a collection of math notes.
Write yourself a Git!, implement git on your own using python.
Resources for Students & Scholars by Frédo Durand, I read these reguarly.
What Lecture Notes Should Everyone Read?, self explanatory.
The Rendering of the Rise of the Tomb Raider, an excellent post on the rendering capabilities of the Crystal Engine used in the video game developed by Crystal Dynamics. The website has other interesting posts as well.

Mods, in case this violates any guidelines please remove it and if possible tell me the best subreddit to post.

Raising a glass or two for 2020! Thank you and have fun!

Would formal ontology help students with UML and ERDs?

Posted: 26 Dec 2019 12:47 AM PST

I am reading some stuff about formal ontologies for fun and it seems that it generalizes modelling in a way that is kind of useful. At the very least usable. So I am wondering why no prof has ever mentioned it at all?

Java or Swift?

Posted: 25 Dec 2019 09:10 PM PST

after learning python and js im thinking about moving onto swift seeing that i have a more than compatible macbook and have had nothing but apple products my entire life.

however, would it be worth it to learn swift if java is what most employers are seeking now-a-days?

im also use java in most of my course-work for college and will use it even more for the remainder of two years, so would learning swift instead of getting better at java not be practical in my case?

Merry Christmas pals,

For my resolution this new year, i want to push my limits and knowledge when it comes to computer architecture, programming, graphics APIs and programming. Any resources online to get me started? Possibly someone building an engine so I can follow him/her. I found a great site that teaches opengl that will compliment what i am going to do.
