#183Basic Math and Pre-Alebra.
I'm learning it in a way where I actually understand how things work rather than just the way I was blindly taught in high-school.
Sounds boring but it's pretty interesting.

#185I’m reading the Raft paper: https://raft.github.io/raft.pdf
Implementing it is the fun part! You might like going through the Raft lab in MIT's distributed systems course: https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.824/labs/lab-raft.html + Jon Gjengset's writeup on some of the "gotcha"s: https://thesquareplanet.com/blog/students-guide-to-raft/
Nice, I didn't know that course and I noticed that I can follow along the course, the classes are recorded. Do you think it's something worth investing to someone interested in distributed systems? The only downside is that I can't have my lab exercises validated.

#186I'll probably get a lot of shit for this, but LeetCode. I've recently been furloughed, and I think that redundancies aren't too far away. There aren't many companies hiring in my area at the moment, and if I'm going to move it's going to be for a big company, so I'm dusting off the CV and am applying to some Big N companies. A recruiter recently reached out to me, and I've got an interview with one Big N company comi…
I don't hate you I pity you. Applied for Big N jobs last year, had to study leetcode for 1 month and I hated my life. I was legit depressed. I was already so busy at work and coming home to do leetcode just killed all motivation and happiness in my life. Did well enough to get to on site interviews but didn't get a full time offer from any of them. Such is life :(

#188Learning the bond market, figuring out the different characteristics of all the different types of bonds, what the risks are, what the potential for gain is.
I trade options on equities regularly and recently a friend has been looking for help on figuring out how to handle a large amount of money they came into, so I figured brushing up on bond investing would be helpful since their risk tolerance is substantially lower than mine.

#189I'm very much a software person, so I decided to learn more about hardware and the design of circuits. Pretty cool stuff.

#190Taking a math course that attempts to teach some of the ways mathematicians approach their profession, which I hear is quite different than learning math or doing math the way it is taught in schools or utilized by other types of professionals (e.g. engineers). The class is called "Introduction to Mathematical Thinking" by Keith Devlin, and it's on coursera.org.
