Wenbo Zhu | 朱文博 - Some useful notes and learning resources | 一些不错的学习资料
I collect notes and other types of learning materials that I find useful to my students and myself. I put them here so that it is easier for my students to get access to them. I provide links to the original files on the author's website as much as I possibly can. If you find any of these links is broken, please kindly send me a note, so that I can fix them.
(There is no particular order of these notes, though I try to put them into different categories, for the purpose of easier browsing.)

2. General interest to graduate students

- Org-roam: A Year In Review
- I do not use Org-roam, but I like the philosophy expressed here regarding workflows. I especially like the sentence "The only real benchmark of productivity is by measuring actual work output, and you'll find that the most brilliant and productive people always have simple workflows using simple tools." I'd like to believe the second half of the sentence is true.
3. Computing
