Hacker News Reader

This guy is nuts. Basically every article I look at I wind up reading multiple times and get new information each time. If I had the attention span to keep reading them I would probably keep learning too...

I admit that even simple articles often have nuance that many would benefit from better exposure. Yet, a limited attention span would seem to be eclipsed simply by have better options in the vast sea of material not yet seen.

In a world where you have a massive backlog of good content, yes. Unfortunately, I struggle to find content which is both high quality and easy to learn from. Do you have suggestions?

That is a fair statement. I suspect that this poses challenges on a number of levels, including what areas on finds of interest and how they prefer to be engaged.

Between work, family, and school my opportunities to indulge are more limited than I would prefer. Recently I had an opportunity to listen to old lectures by Prof Malan (I understand that newer version of these lectures are now available on edx.org). When I am in the mood for something tied to current events, I enjoy taking time to read Krebs (krebsonsecurity.com) or catch up on conference presentations that I missed (still working my way through the material from ShmooCon).
