For school, I'm learning networking. Finding it a bit dry, especially learning about packet structures and such. The book we're using, "Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach" by Kurose & Ross[1] is great and the authors' personalities really shine through!
For work I'm learning about databases and how to gain access to it from a web app. The world of databases (specifically PostgreSQL) and SQL is entirely new to me. Currently trying to figure out how to best connect my Flask app with my Postgres DB.
Currently learning Rust whenever I have the time/motivation. It's a great language with some really clever design choices, but it's a pain in the ass to learn, especially without experience with lower-level languages. The incredible amount of other cool languages, such as Clojure and Elixir, can make it hard to stay focused!
Also been meaning to get into vector graphics (Affinity Designer[2] is on sale right now) and philosophy, but you know...the usual excuses. Honestly, the incredible amount of CS-related topics I know nothing about, including some really basic ones, makes it hard to study anything else out of sheer guilt.
As for philosophy, if anyone are curious, a book that was recommended to me by a philosophy major buddy is "The Problems of Philosophy" by Bertrand Russell[3].

I'm writing a book at the moment[1], which means all my learning is focused on the table of content I made up a year ago. But if I had time on my hand I would learn about: * Adobe after effect not to only to edit videos but to animate! * Illustrator, because it's the basis of any graphics * Blender, because I want to learn about 3D graphics and this seems to be the reference * Unity, a gaming engine, because I've alw…
I've been into literature and philosophy for some time now. I'm following the "Masterpieces of World Literature" course [1] and have finished "Beyond Good and Evil" last month, currently reading Kierkegaard's Either/Or. Aside from that, I'm also participating in Leetcode 30 days of code challenge [2] [1] https://www.edx.org/course/masterpieces-of-world-literature [2] https://leetcode.com/explore/featured/card/30-day-…
Just started reading
At the Existentialist Café: Freedom, Being, and Apricot Cocktails with Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Albert Camus, Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Others by Sarah Bakewell
It has a really nice narrative and tells the story of the aforementioned. Kierkegaard also makes some occurrences.
It's not as breezy as I was hoping...
* made it to orbit
* flew by the moon
* crash-landed on the moon
* landed on the moon and returned with the stranded astronauts
* landed on Mars (stuck there for now sending back science experiment data)
* flew by Venus + Mercury
* Took a sample of two different asteroids
* Shot a little refueling space station into orbit and successfully docked to it with other ships
I just applied to a course from Berkeley trough Corusera, and they are really great, but I'm not trying to rush trough, as this is my main way of trying to learn, making me lose interest because of the overflow of information.
If anyone has any good books, courses or tutorials on this, that would be a great help too :)

I've been learning about Counter Factural Regret (CFR) and have been using it to iteratively work towards writing a no limit texas hold'em poker playing AI agent. It's still in the early stages but seen success with simple forms of poker such as Kuhn, and have expanded to a form of short deck poker.
I have also been brushing up my web skills by creating a visualiser for the poker state via Flask and Vue.js
