#5I have an RSS opml of about one thousand blogs that I follow. Actually a majority of them are RSS feeds of people who have posted here in hacker news.
I also like to try to read research papers every now and then. On weekends I'll print one out and sit with a french press and pen and read through it, and it's a nice time. (Today I'm reading "Fruit and vegetable intake and the risk of cardiovascular disease, total cancer and all cause mortality" by Aune et. al 2017)

#7Blogs are significantly more up to date with most technical topics. Books focused on specific technologies by contrast go out of date as soon as they are published. For example: https://simonwillison.net/ is HN's favorite blog this year.
Evergreen computer science topics don't go out of date though. (example of evergreen: https://dataintensive.net/)
