I think Google is over because the problems we have now are harder and harder to google.
That combined with stagnation of constructive and/or simple progress, all caused by lack of energy.
Means there is less and less you don't know that Google can teach you. I haven't googled anything important since around 2016.
Reddit gives you a narrow subject with people that care about said subject, much much better!
- marginalia_nu 5y agoWell there still seems to be a lot of deep content on the web, it's just that google doesn't show you any of it. You may, if you're lucky, get a Wikipedia box. And Wikipedia, for all its breadth, is incredibly shallow on most topics. I submit that the reason you aren't learning anything from google is that it just doesn't surface anything for you to learn from, but usually just the same dozen or so big sites, wikipedia, stackoverflow, etc, and the rest is all spam and ads. If you google "Strongly Connected Components", it shows you a wikipedia page and a few pages with what looks like freebooted content and a bunch of ads. This is a far better resource than any you'll find on Google: https://www.personal.kent.edu/~rmuhamma/Algorithms/MyAlgorithms/GraphAlgor/strongComponent.htm https://www.personal.kent.edu/~rmuhamma/Algorithms/MyAlgorit...
- mda 5y agoSo why you think this particular website must be the top answer? I looked at googles results and and I disagree, they are not bad, e.g. actual program examples, videos and papers for example.
- marginalia_nu 5y agoBesides the ads, the Wikipedia article, the next result I'm getting is this: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/strongly-connected-components/ https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/strongly-connected-components/ Which seems to mostly just be paraphrasing the Wikipedia article and the page I linked. The kent.edu-page seems aimed at teaching you the material, the geeskforgeeks-page seems primarily to focus on getting you through your introduction to computer science exam. It gives answers, not understanding.
- mda 5y agoI disagree, you can get a pretty good understanding of the subject, there are many resources linked there you are focusing on a few perceivably weak ones, your link is not an exhaustive answer. e.g i prefer learning from actual code examples and videos.
