0x54MUR41··on LinkedIn is a terrible quality website
I find it crashes browser tabs on Firefox mobile.

I open someone's profile in a new tab. Then, the older tabs become unresponsive. I read a post on HN a few weeks ago that Linkedin did scan browser extensions https://browsergate.eu.

Edited: found the post link.

0x54MUR41··on Tell HN: Reddit now demands to know why you won't use their app
Thank you for sharing.

It's been a year I think I haven't used Reddit apps on mobile phone. It feels much better since the apps keep recommending me something that they think I am interested in. Now, I am using the alternative, like https://safereddit.com.

0x54MUR41··on Book recommendations based on reading history
One of the services that I know is Shepherd https://shepherd.com. The service is like Goodreads, but it's more personalized. Shepherd is trying to help the readers to discover and share the books. I am not the author. You can read the details on https://build.shepherd.com/p/what-is-shepherds-mission-for-r....

Last but not least, this is the example of someone's favorite books https://shepherd.com/bboy/2024/f/william-hansen.

0x54MUR41··on Ask HN: How do you remember what you have read in a book?
I think there are multiple ways to do it. These are what I can think of.

* Re-read the books

* Summarize the book in one sentence or a short paragraph

* Create or visualize the idea or important points in the books, like https://sketches.sachachua.com/static/2022-08-03-01%20Four%2...

Last but not least, I recommend to read a book called "How to Read a Book" by Mortimer J. Adler. Different books have different strategies to read.

0x54MUR41··on Ask HN: The Required Fundamentals for Self-Taught Programming
For algorithms, I would recommend "Grokking Algorithms" by Aditya Y. Bhargava. The reason is that the book contains hand drawn visualization. I believe this will make the beginner easier to learn the concept.

One more thing, if you learn programming. Don't forget to practice, practice, and practice. The book has exercise sections. Please, don't skip it.

0x54MUR41··on Ask HN: What are good books/blogs to read for a first time CTO?
