I have found myself frustrated at how hard it is to find good resources for learning new things. I'm motivated to learn, but picking up conceptual ideas from surface-level youtube videos trying to tie shit together from very dense wikipedia articles and their references just doesn't cut it. here's a random assortment of websites, textbooks, videos, and whatever other resources I have either stashed for my own sake, have looked through enough to consider it satisfactory for describing something I already know, or whatever else I find that seems detailed enough about a topic. who knows
if you want a page for "quick reference" pages and tools for subjects, check out the reference page
if this gets big enough, I'll make a table of contents or split stuff into separate pages. for now, just ctrl+f
