it's hard to -know exactly where to start and who to trust. And so much of that stuff -is now <em>garbage</em>, either in the way it's presented, with -disruptive ads that don't close correctly, or in the way it's written: -vague, misleading, or straight incorrect.</p> -<p>For two: no one really teaches you how to use this thing do they? -There are no courses on "How to use a search engine" or "How to find -good posts on a forum," and definitely not on "How to <em>write</em> -good posts on a forum." But these are exactly the kinds of skills you -really need if you want to navigate the modern world without getting -constantly distracted, misled, or totally lost.</p> -<p>There are of course, countless guides on "netiquette" geared towards -every possible internet subculture you can find. While many of them have -influenced this document and give many helpful tips on writing good -informative posts, none of them really go over what I think is most -important: what to do with the information you're reading.</p> -<p>This will probably be an evolving document as new services and -websites become available (or go down), but much of this material in the -beginning should be pretty generally applicable no matter what services -are available.</p> -<h2 id="how-to-use-a-web-browser">How to use a web browser</h2> -<p>This is your main vehicle to the information super highway (remember -when they used to call it that?)</p> -<p>Almost everyone knows how to use a web browser to click links and get -to where they need to go, but use only a fraction of the software's -power. Web browsers at this point are as complicated as operating -systems. Aside from basic HTML and javascript rendering, most web -browsers are expected to provide:</p> -<ul> -<li>A PDF reader</li> -<li>An image display</li> -<li>A history database with tunable settings</li> -<li>Support for hundreds of languages and emojis</li> -<li>A password manager</li> -<li>A video and audio player</li> -<li>A scripting language for extending functionality</li> -</ul> -<p>And that's only what I can think of...</p> -<h2 id="how-to-use-a-search-engine">How to use a search engine</h2> -<p>As for which search engine to use: you should use all of them, until -you get the results you need.</p> -<p>In my experience, none of the major search engines are particularly -good and I get inconsistent searches on all of them depending on what -I'm searching. There is a lot of preaching these days about privacy -concerns, but I don't really believe any service is more "private" than -another. These are all privacy nightmares, arguably by design. Your best -bet is just to search often and as many platforms as you can.</p> -<h3 id="basic-search-syntax">Basic search syntax</h3> -<p>Searching for specific pieces of information is rather simple.</p> -<p>"Who is the prime minister of England?"</p> -<p>"When did World War 2 start?"</p> -<p>"How many roads must a man walk down?"</p> -<p>"Funky Kong talks you through your divorce"</p> -<p>All of these queries entered as is will get you the result you're -looking for. But how about something we can't boil down to a single -question? Like how to do calculus? Or how to learn Python?</p> -<p>You could try those phrases as a start. But you're not likely to get -a specific answer out of this.</p> -<p>...</p> -<p>What if we wanted to bring up a funny cat meme we saw on a forum -three weeks ago? Searching for "funny cat meme" is not going to get you -very far.</p> -<h2 id="how-to-read-and-find-scholarly-articles">How to read and find -scholarly articles</h2> -<h3 id="how-to-use-wikipedia">How to use Wikipedia</h3> -<p>A common complaint lodged at me whenever I recommend Wikipedia is -that it's not a source of truth since they found X mistake somewhere, or -made Y edit when they were a teenager that's still there. No one has -ever (or should ever) claim Wikipedia is a source of truth on it's own. -But you can use it to find more sources and maybe get a little -closer.</p> -<h3 id="how-to-find-articles-with-google-scholar">How to find articles -with Google Scholar</h3> -<h2 id="advanced-topics">Advanced Topics</h2> -<h3 id="how-to-use-tor-to-browse-anonymously">How to use tor to browse -anonymously</h3> -<p>Many in the advertising world will boast about using a VPN for -anonymity, or using a VPN in conjuction with Tor to "increase privacy." -This is simply a misunderstanding of terms. A VPN provides -<em>privacy</em> of the user's connection since it provides -encryption--only the VPN provider can "see" what is searched. The goal -of Tor is <em>anonymity</em> not privacy. Anonymity means "no one knows -who you are" not "no one knows what you're doing." Technically, traffic -is encrypted between nodes of the Tor service, so some level of privacy -is provided as well, but this is most effective when using hidden -services, not using Tor in general.</p> -</body> -</html> - |
