I too read the headlines, select articles, comments for these articles and try to stop after page 2/3 to avoid procrastinating. The discourse is refreshingly reasonable even for politicized topics (e.g. understandably anything re: Russia these days given the war they are waging and previously re: China). On reddit and online news comments it's just anger feeding off angry group think that leads me to wonder if there are real people involved. I would just say if you are learning something completely outside your field -- which is awesome! -- try to feel out the biases starting with the general audience here and then the topic. High quality comments from folks with good technical English skills project a lot of confidence which may or may not be appropriately placed. I'm medical so I find occasional discussions about medicine/AI/disruption/collecting-data-solves-everything really interesting, but more to learn about other viewpoints and what drives them rather than the first order of what is actually being posted. As a contrary example, I know nothing about Rust, Kubernetes, and node.js except what is posted here... so hot damn!
