How I Keep Up
These are my current resources for keeping up-to-date with my current interests.
HackUrls
Out of habit I've been hitting hackurls - news for hackers and programmers daily for years just because it gives me a quick glance at a few of the resources I mention below.
Hacker News
Hacker News is my current favorite aggregator.
- Hacker News Links
- minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented: Some of the hidden norms about Hacker News not otherwise covered in the Guidelines and the FAQ.
- Hacker News RSS
- hndex.org - a search engine for finding articles posted to hacker news
I still use reddit but its usefulness highly depends on the subreddits I follow, and currently many of those are either not very active or their quality varies too much to be a dat-to-day source of information, but reddit still has its moments.
