I found this guy in a random recommended on youtube[1], he is working on a great books curriculum type course that incorporates literature from cultures from the Middle-east, India, Far-east, etc. The complete reading list is in his homepage.

Pro tip: Alt+E takes you directly to the search bar, then you can press Tab for selecting the search engine. The best part is that you never use the mouse this way. You can also use ddg bangs, they contain every search-engine/site by pressing Alt-D if you remember the bang for the site.

There's also an abridged html version, and slides for a presentation: http://web.mit.edu/6.933/www/Fall2000/infocom/.

You can use this extension: https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect and use the "use a random instance" option

I appreciate the effort. If you don't like webapp bloat consider using pastebin: https://pastebin.com/, or any other text-sharing service.

From the book's introduction:

Concrete?

• The book shows that a semantics is not a collection of abstract symbols on sheets of paper but formal text that can be checked and executed by the computer: Isabelle is also a programming environment and most of the definitions in the book are executable and can even be exported as programs in a number of (functional) programming languages. For a computer scientist, this is as concrete as it gets.

• Much of the book deals with concrete applications of semantics: compilers, type systems, program analysers.

• The predominant formalism in the book is operational semantics, the most concrete of the various forms of semantics.

• Foundations are made of concrete.

I found these lecture notes by David Tong to be really good at a glance [1]. A free introductory physics book [2]. I don't have much physics stuff and I know almost nothing about it, I mostly focus on Math/CS, this is some stuff that I had bookmarked. Maybe someone else here can share some good Mechanics resources.

That was an interesting read, thanks for the link. Only read the first part but will definitely finish it later today.

I found the article while browsing Dr. David R. Wilkins' lecture notes [0], I recommend them if you are looking for some good math notes.

Thank you for sharing. Never heard of Data Carpentry, looks awesome.

The Bibliography is definitively useful but the editing and commentary is really good too. I'll bookmark it and will keep reading later.

yeah, its alright

I found this OU courses [1] in the archive. Are this the ones your are talking about? i bookmarked them a while ago to check them later.

When i noticed that there are only public domain works, I got an idea for an optional mode where you help digitize books by typing from scanned/OCRed works and the results get sent to organizations like the Gutenberg Project or Distributed Proofreaders[0].

In the case of Distributed Proofreaders you could automate the process even by creating a diff of your results with the current draft of the Works being worked on.

This is just a crazy idea nobody take it too seriously. [0]https://www.pgdp.net/c/

There arent any modern tech books in the public domain, but there are plenty with open licenses.

The author says in the first page that it is an early draft, and I think he has a long ways to go still, being less than 100 pages.

Why is this being commented multiple times in an article about flying? If you want to talk to someone in person, or have to be somewhere for work you don't just video conference and forget about it. They are two different things.

I second using Wikipedia for translating, most of the time is better than using a translator or using a dictionary and sometimes is the only option for more technical or specific terms.

I don't use it for comparing between languages much because I'm bilingual and my native tongue Wikipedia is not that big, but sometimes is really interesting to see the different perspectives.
