From time to time I find a dive into the Standford Encyclopedia of Philosophy useful for refreshing my memory on some ideas and concepts.

Also the MDN Learning Area is really useful for getting a handle on some web development details.

What others are you fond of, whether esoteric or exoteric*?

one of my other favorites is any sort of thesaurus that provides antonyms, 'cause some antonyms just aren’t as commonly used!

🤞 this federates properly this time (sorry if the old post eventually emerges, I initially posted this shortly after the Lemmy update kinda threw a wrench in things across instances)

    I struggle to find recent publications on SciHub, y’know, to report them to the hardworking journals that tirelessly implemented paywalls.

    Any ideas how I can find papers that are within the past 6 months?

      Honestly - if it’s a specific article, then just email the author. Unless they’re a blowhard they’ll usually be happy to shoot off a copy of the final PDF or at least a preprint. Doubly so if you’re a grad student and say how excited you are about their research.
