Evil DFS: How To Successfully Distract Yourself

• Reading link1
• Found interesting link2
• Go to link2
• Read & found interesting link3
• Go to link3
• Read & found interesting link4
• Go to link4
• ...
• ...
• No more interesting link
• Exit

Ok, this is DFS.

For some pages simply constructed with interesting links, it goes this path

• For link1..n read

BFS is evil too. If it happened to include DFS cases 🙃 a day is over.

Pros:

• Learn many by starting with one
• Satisfy curiosity
• Collect some topics for next time meet a nerd 🤓

Cons:

• Time-consuming ｡ﾟ( ﾟஇ‸இﾟ)ﾟ｡
• Possibly forget what was about to do

...Wait, that sounds like human web crawler 🤔

Here are some links for practice

-> redis sentinel
-> roshi on github
-> mixu's book
-> Finnish Defence Forces

OK, let's talk about another how-to.

How to break the loop before it is too late

• Just open the links in another new tab without switching to them. This is easy to achieve by configure the browser or by right-click option. Supported by most browsers.
• Keep a to-do list in whatever format that you like. I also use Trello. A list of interesting papers can also be found at my Github page. Check it out if interested.

Hopefully this help you be more productive😃
