For the base language (as you'll see repeatedly), "The C Programming Language".

For the standard library (POSIX), I don't have a good catch all source but you'll want one here.

For networking (which tells more than just networking), "Beej's Guide to Networking". That's a fantastic book (online free from the author). Hilarious and informative.

I liked writing existing unix utilities myself and I found that a helpful set of projects.

"Beej's Guide to Networking" book is phenomenal!
jcmoscon commented on Vintage AI predictions show our hopes and fears aren’t new, even if the tech is   gizmodo.com/ai-chatbot-ch... · Posted by u/gumby

No article about vintage AI is complete without mentioning the Dartmouth summer workshop of 1956, which is widely regarded as the event that kickstarted the entire field of AI research. Participants included people like John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Ray Solomonoff, Claude Shannon, and John Nash, among others. In retrospect, they might have slightly underestimated the nontriviality of the problems involved:

> An attempt will be made to find how to make machines use language, form abstractions and concepts, solve kinds of problems now reserved for humans, and improve themselves. We think that a significant advance can be made in one or more of these problems if a carefully selected group of scientists work on it together for a summer.

Amazing team! John McCarthy was the guy! Invented Lisp around this time!

With China building 7 new coal plants everyday and cruise ships emitting more than all ICE cars combined I think the answer is either fusion or we just plant more and more trees.
jcmoscon · 2 years ago
We should plant more trees for sure! Not because of carbon, but because of covering the soil. Check back to garden of eden documentary. Covering the soil is the solution to end hungry! Why? Watch the documentary.

Visiting the deep amazon during COVID, I literally ate too much stuff (one of those nice, AYCA amazon lodges). Every date, I mixed all kinds of delicious things in a buffett setting, and constantly loaded with carbs. It was vacation, after all.

I normally do intermittent fasting and stay away from carbs during the work week. I don't do buffet and usually don't have 2 daily meals, let alone 3.

So, after 2-3 days of repeating the feast -3 times a day-, my stomach and intestines finally went on strike. I ended up with a strong reaction with a loose stool. 2 days later, it would still not go away. It was constant. I was chained to the bathroom. The rest of the family didn't overeat + mix everything, so naturally they were totally fine.

Finally on the 3rd day, I gave up on waiting it out and asked for help from our jungle guide.

He told me to have oregano tea, so had 2 cups. The change was instantaneous. Just like the article, all the locals from the amazon knew this was the standard remedy for diarrhea.

I googled this afterwards. None of the top hits for home remedy for diarrhea even mentioned oregano tea once in their articles. A medical dietitian had a 1 word link back to diarrhea in a "oregano health benefits" article [1].

Its crazy how ignorant we are of natural methods, and makes me wonder what other wonderful natural medicines are waiting to be re-discovered in the amazon.

Read about Copaiba oil. It's a Brazilian oil from a tree. This thing is amazing. I used to always have earache after a couple of days diving in the ocean until I used one little drop of Copaiba oil in my ears. No more earache. Never again! It has multiple uses. Take a look at it.
