I read the guidelines and am worried this is too...small to be a post. Mr 'dang', please remove this if it's too silly of a post and accept my humble apologies.
Hope this isn't too much a digression but first off This forum is immensely valuable, thank you all for allowing this silly layman (dropped out of stem for law, maths too hard) reddit refugee.
the recs I've found here from ancient beat for anthropology to the cicero trilogy to the medieval origins of law to youtubers to courses to tools like kagi and perplexity and phid and llama tooling have all brought me immense intellectual joy and productive use. thank you again.
I'm hoping to indulge you lovely people further by asking for recs for:
a) an ios hn client/app, (using octal at the moment, and besides some weird behavior when commenting I'm mostly content with it and am using the paid version)
b)an app I could use to learn and play go in my spare time. I love lichess for chess. and am using crazyStone (paid) for go but not a ton of people in online play.
c)Also while you're here I would deeply appreciate book recommendations for someone who loved and devoured the Cicero Trilogy by robert harris. rome and the byzantines are awesome.
d) Any books on Synthetic/computational Biology would be great too. Suleyman's "The coming wave" has left me eager to learn more there. I am making some slow progress in to "Synthetic Biology - New Interdisciplinary Science".
e)Also, any books in general that tell history in those fictional first hand accounts I would love. Older the better. Working on Byzantine and Chinese history now podcast wise so in that domain if possible.
f)Books on greek and islamic history would also be appreciated. Haven't got to the ornament of the world but it's high on the list.
g)Any cosmology books for the cosmological-ly curious who never made it deeper than kurezergat videos would be great too.
Thanks again and I hope one day to absorb enough to be giving recommendations rather than taking!
