- Graphics Design because people really listen when stuff is pretty. - French which has to be done but is quite hard. - Some math because the more I work with computers there more I understand how it would be very useful. - Combat sports because it keeps me fit and its good for your posture if you know how to throw a punch. - Traveling. Never learned it, work too much and would like to see the world before being an o…

Is that all at the same time? If so, do you have concurrency issues?

What do you mean by "learn" travelling? Isn't it just... travelling?

Recently, I tackled Genetic Algorithms to solve some specific NP-hard problems, and Zero Knowledge Proofs. Now I'd love to pick up Elixir and some frontend development.

I routinely keep a web page updated with all my learning projects, both the ones I did and the ones I'd like to do [1]. I found that it keeps me accountable, plus it might be useful for some.

This thread is a gold mine of ideas to expand it!

Nice list! Can you share your resources for Graphics Design?

I've tried following the Donut 3D tutorial. Midway, I thought "wow my donut already looks better than anything I've ever done in 3D", and by the end of it I couldn't believe I actually made the donut (sure, following step by step, but anyway that was an amazing feeling). It took a few hours but the result speaks for itself: https://twitter.com/FPresencia/status/1402267525262491658

I’m learning donut too

Lately I have been diving deep into ancient astronomy, Babylonian astronomy in particular. I have a PhD in astronomy, but I've found that a lot of astronomers tend to have a somewhat superficial knowledge of the history of their field. To motivate myself to learn more about it I started podcasting what I learned with the schtick being that I release episodes every full moon to force myself to keep it up.
