    Truly it’s remarkable that past the fixed (purchase price) and operating (internet subscription) cost of owning a computer, you are only time-limited in what you can learn. The depth of what’s available through these machines is entirely incredible.

        I owe (nearly wholly) to computers my: - basic Chinese language skills - a decent portion of my ability to get advanced things done in EAGLE - and I don’t often admit this but, everything I know about playing the accordion. What have you taught yourself online?

        Also incredible: the extent to which a few tools dominate. Wikipedia, YouTube, Memrise, Kindle; PDF viewers and audio players due generalized credit too I suppose.

        If you teach yourself stuff, as a hobby, I am curious what tools or approaches you tend to use. What should I know about?

        If I had access to this in high school I would’ve done a deep dive into math. I maxed out my school’s math courses by senior year so I ended up taking all the adjacent APs like physics and chem

        You could also go to a public library and get past the purchase price and the operating cost!

        Sometime I scroll through the list of people I follow and can't recall why I followed them. Then I stumble across cool posts like this. 👊 :)

        If only they were used more that way instead of people trolling each other. It is strange that their potential is so underutilized.
