#23Check out Substack to discover writers who have blogs.
Since substack came out with their alternative to tweets, the website looks a lot less interesting.
How does one find new, interesting authors these days (not just people with lots of activity on their short form notes)?

#24just a sampling of my rss reader this morning:
marginalia's blog for interesting tech problems building a search engine "specifically" for indie/small/old-web sites. (the search engine itself is a gold mine for exactly what you're looking for). https://www.marginalia.nu/log/
feuilleton for thoughtful posts on recent niche art history - http://www.johncoulthart.com/feuilleton/feed/

#25https://astrobites.org/ is great for astronomy and astrophysics. You'll be thrown out in the deep end but if you stick to it for a few weeks you'll get a good idea of where astronomy/astrophysics research is at.

#26Serious history - mostly Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, and related:
Prof. Devereaux's day job is as an (untenured) ancient & military historian. With a taste for history- and fantasy-based TV/movies and games. A passable fraction of his older stuff is "how close is this to historical reality?" reviews.

#28There are enormous amount of aggregators who compile blogs and articles across the web. As a person who looks for new things to read, this is how I get my fresh feeds. 1. Mozilla Firefox Start Page - Shows blogs and articles from Pocket 2. Google Chrome Discover [Mobile] - Tuned to my interest and search result 3. HackerNews - Of-course not to be missed 4. daily.dev - using it for 450+ days, its fresh and aggregates…

Strange signup form they have. Never been asked for "Original Language" before, not sure what it means. Shouldn't it be just "Language"? Why does the first language you spoke matter?
The form validation is also broken, saying there is a incorrect character in the username when the actual error is that it's too short. The error messages aren't clearly errors (looks like normal text) and finally if you have a form validation error and already passed the Cloudflare captcha, you can never pass the form and need to reload to be able to submit again.
I get that forms are hard, I've struggled with them myself a lot as well. But a little more care could have gone into it, or at least reacting to seeing people struggling at that page, if it now been running for more than a year. It gives kind of a poor impression when it's a community specifically for engineers/developers, that they don't really have any attention to details.

#29to answer somehow 'heretically':
reduce reading of internetsites of any kind at all, but focus more on real books.
in the long term you'll enjoy it way more. for several reasons i don't want to stress all here.
