#12Kind of unrelated, I am wondering does anyone know a good CS lecture note websites? There was a one I saw here few months ago but I forgot the URL.

That exact link is already included.

#14https://runestone.academy/runestone/books/index has 100% free interactive versions of high quality textbooks. They use a JavaScript implementation of Python which runs in the browser (Skulpt) to provide a REPL.
Example Textbooks: Problem Solving with Algorithms and Data Structures using Python (3rd edition)

#15An obligatory mention of the /r/csbooks subreddit, where we share titles like these: https://www.reddit.com/r/csbooks/
Hoping that it's okay to share LearnAwesome's (my open-source project) computer-science topic page here: https://learnawesome.org/topics/2680f6d5-b662-4cc3-99e5-e748...

I wish this has syntax highlighting

#18Their link to "Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach (5th edition)" ( https://booksite.elsevier.com/9780123838728/references.php ) is broken. Here's a couple more [1],[2]. I'm also surprised Jeff Erickson's free lecture notes [3] aren't there given 1) its easy to remember domain 2) its incredibly high, practical quality. Practical because I've had interviews that just grab questions from the book, and also b…
Couldn't recommend Jeff Erickson's lecture notes more for algorithms, DP, and the like. I too did rather poorly in the class so you're not alone! In a similar vein, Lawrence Angrave, a systems programming lecturer, has a wonderful crowd-sourced "book" [1] on all things systems programming. It is my go to resource for brushing up on these topics. Lastly, David Forsyth, a statistics/applied ML lecturer has a gold mine of a book for diving into ML and difficult concepts that come with it [2].

#19I wish these lists were better curated rather than just a dump of links with no commentary.

#20I had a lot of qualms with my CS education, the professors in particular, but I have to hand it to them they always either tried to have the book and material online for free, or would use the international edition of whatever textbook we needed. Textbooks, and higher education in general, are a complete ripoff for 90% of people doing it.
Nothing worse than courses that require a textbook written by the lecturer decades ago and is now out-of-print, with only one copy in the library that all the students have to fight over.
Yeah there is. Courses that require you to purchase the lecturer's terrible quality printed and photocopied(!) Unpublished "Lecture notes"
At least a garbage textbook damages their reputation in their field.
