Learning Containers From The Bottom Up
https://iximiuz.com/en/posts/container-learning-path/, posted Dec '21 by peter in deployment development learning linux toread virtualization
This article is not an attempt to explain containers in one go. Instead, it's a front-page for my multi-year study of the domain. It outlines the said learning path and then walks you through it, pointing to more in-depth write-ups on this same blog.
Mastering containers is no simple task, so take your time, and don't skip the hands-on parts!

The Cryptopals Crypto Challenges
https://cryptopals.com/, posted Feb '21 by peter in development learning security toread
This is a different way to learn about crypto than taking a class or reading a book. We give you problems to solve. They're derived from weaknesses in real-world systems and modern cryptographic constructions. We give you enough info to learn about the underlying crypto concepts yourself. When you're finished, you'll not only have learned a good deal about how cryptosystems are built, but you'll also understand how they're attacked.

Modern JavaScript Explained For Dinosaurs – Node.js Collection – Medium
https://medium.com/the-node-js-collection/modern-javascript-explained-for-dinosaurs-f695e9747b70, posted 2019 by peter in development howto javascript learning reference
The goal of this article is to provide a historical context of how JavaScript tools have evolved to what they are today in 2017. We’ll start from the beginning and build an example website like the dinosaurs did — no tools, just plain HTML and JavaScript. Then we’ll introduce different tools incrementally to see the problems that they solve one at a time. With this historical context, you’ll be better able to learn and adapt to the ever-changing JavaScript landscape going forward. Let’s get started!

How Japanese Verbs Really Work: A Primer • /r/LearnJapanese
https://www.reddit.com/r/learnjapanese/comments/3fkogx/_/, posted 2015 by peter in grammar japan language learning toread
A lot of textbooks and websites try to teach you functional Japanese and ignore the grittier parts of the grammar. Unfortunately, this means many learners miss out of the structure and beauty (and structure!) of Japanese that, while complex, might help put things into place. This primer is designed to get you more familiar with what is actually going on with Japanese conjugations. It won't cover everything and may even tell some "simple truths" (aka, white lies you'll unlearn later) but it will get you started on achieving a deeper understanding of Japanese verbs.

How To Count Anything In Japanese - Tofugu
www.tofugu.com/guides/count-anything-japanese/, posted 2015 by peter in japan language learning list reference
There just isn’t a resource out there that shows the counter with a list of things that can be counted in this way. I’m hoping to fix that with this guide.
VIM Adventures is an online game based on VIM's keyboard shortcuts (commands, motions and operators). It's the "Zelda meets text editing" game. It's a puzzle game for practicing and memorizing VIM commands (good old VI is also covered, of course). It's an easy way to learn VIM without a steep learning curve.
You play a blinking cursor appearing one day in a semi text based world inhabited by little people but ruled by bugs. You soon discover that your arrival was foretold by an old prophecy and that you're expected to restore order to the world.
