      This kind of thing (manufacturer-supplied knowledge bases eg or knowledge in guise of marketing broadly) is hard to reliably surface without already being immersed, but is great:https://twitter.com/doridoidea/status/972283505592893442 …

      I broadly wish there were like “Pinterest but for collections of ways to learn things.” Collect (or curate?) the books and websites and resources you found helpful.

          A self-learner today does well to try everything and then stick to gauging what’s good. The best you can do now, as far as I can tell, is read reviews.. and that works mainly only for selecting books or texts.

          :/ siiiiigh it would likely work better with amazon links. unless anyone happens to know of any other independent booksellers with websites you can search like this?

          Yeah I 99% chance thought those were all going to be Amazon links, otherwise the churn is real

          This was a thing we tried to figure out for Tested, but we couldn't convince management that there was a business case for it what would have been a substantial effort.

          Agree, I used delicious to capture things like this before the rise of the MOOCs. Back in 2008 online course videos were a lot more rare http://www.datawrangling.org/hidden-video-courses-in-math-science-and-engineering/ …
