Note: I found this on the /r/Piracy subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/3i9y7n/guide_for_finding_textbooks/?sort=confidence) however I am including a copy here just in case.

So you have a list of books you need to buy for college. There are some really great resources for finding them online, but I'm going to run through the easiest methods for searching all of them here.

First, let's start off by using the method that will allow you to find the vast majority of books. Google. It tends to be easier if you can search multiple sites at once, and this is the easiest way to do it.

There was a search engine that /u/ratokursi made 3 years ago, but by now most of the sites are either dead or have changed the url. I decided to make a new one, this time after reviewing 100+ sites and adding to working ones to the custom search engine.

Commit Message Guidelines

Short (72 chars or less) summary

More detailed explanatory text. Wrap it to 72 characters. The blank
line separating the summary from the body is critical (unless you omit
the body entirely).

Write your commit message in the imperative: "Fix bug" and not "Fixed
bug" or "Fixes bug." This convention matches up with commit messages

Python documentation

I still think that the problem of lack of good documentation in the Python ecosystem is also related to .rst format and the use of complicated tools like Sphinx.

I'm enjoying writing functional documentation using Markdown in Rustlang, so I'll do experiments to have the same functionality in Python. Take a look at rustdoc and here an example of documentation site generated for a Rust crate using markdown comments.

Markdown Text 101

Want to inject some flavor into your everyday text chat? You're in luck! Discord uses Markdown, a simple plain text formatting system that'll help you make your sentences stand out. Here's how to do it! Just add a few characters before & after your desired text to change your text! I'll show you some examples...

	; This is a very basic intro to Seesaw, a Clojure UI toolkit. It covers
	; Seesaw's basic features and philosophy, but only scratches the surface
	; of what's available. It only assumes knowledge of Clojure. No Swing or
	; Java experience is needed.
	;
	; This material was first presented in a talk at @CraftsmanGuild in
	; Ann Arbor, MI.

	// Here is an extremely simple version of work scheduling for multiple
	// processors.
	//
	// The Problem:
	// We have a lot of numbers that need to be math'ed. Doing this on one
	// CPU core is slow. We have 4 CPU cores. We would thus like to use those
	// cores to do math, because it will be a little less slow (ideally
	// 4 times faster actually).

	// The Solution:
