Category Theory (and more advanced Set Theory). After taking an undergraduate Set Theory course I want to explore these areas of mathematics further. I'm currently going though Thomas Jech's "Set Theory" on the Set Theory side, but haven't yet found a good, undergraduate accessible, Category Theory text.

In no particular order:

- A deep and real understanding of the blockchain.

- Clojure. I've heard that it is not only fun, but changes the way you approach programming in general. I don't have any professional need for it, though.

- Truly understanding how neural networks work.

- Rust, although this is similar to Clojure above; I don't know what I'd actually use it for.

I'd really like to get into hobby electronics, specifically DIY guitar pedal design.

There's a great subreddit, /r/diypedals, which I've been lurking for a while, I just haven't made the dive into buying my first kit and soldering equipment. Does anyone here on HN have any tips or words of wisdom?

You should check out "Conceptual mathematics" and then "sets for mathematics", both written by lawvere. They are the amazing
