This is a list of resources I've found on the internet that seemed somewhat
interesting.

That includes books, blog posts, papers, etc.

Link may not be canonical.
This is not a list of stuff I've read;
most likely, it's things that I want to read at some point
or just wanted to save in case I ever need them.

### [Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs](https://sarabander.github.io/sicp/)
Not much to say about this, everyone should have read SICP.
### [The Algorithm Design Manual](http://mimoza.marmara.edu.tr/~msakalli/cse706_12/SkienaTheAlgorithmDesignManual.pdf)
> Most professional programmers that I’ ve encountered are not well prepared to tackle algorithm design problems. This is a pity, because the techniques of algorithm design form one of the core practical technologies of computer science.

### [How to Read a Paper](https://web.stanford.edu/class/ee384m/Handouts/HowtoReadPaper.pdf)
> Researchers spend a great deal of time reading research papers. However, this
> skill is rarely taught, leading to much wasted effort. This article outlines a
> practical and efficient three-pass method for reading research papers. I also
> describe how to use this method to do a literature survey.

### [Memory Cache and Lisp](https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~fateman/papers/cachelisp.pdf)
> Here we concentrate on automatic rearrangement of data, and examine the belief, common in some technical circles, that modern generational copying garbage collectors (GC) will improve data caching by relocating and compressing data, as a matter of normal processing.
