Yeah typically I just dump things in the “reading list” on phone, which I eventually exfiltrate and clear every year or so on my phone, or add it to a list via the onetab extension on desktop.
Most of this is just “emotional support bookmarks” because I’m a pathological data hoarder that apparently needs to catalog and sort the entirety of human knowledge. Saving a list of links tricks my brain into releasing this intrusive anxiety and keeps me from engaging in this odd sort of compulsion.
But out of a thousand or two links a year, there are in fact a few dozen times I reach back to reference or use something I found.
Haven’t learned physic though. So far unit conversion, geometry and algebra have been all I’ve needed in my line of work in regards to equation solving, as I did agricultural plot trials for a bit.
I managed to hit rate limiting on the site as I tried to retrieve my full list of favorites. I appear to have ~2000 submissions favorited for "future reading".
Somehow I doubt I'll make my way through the entire list.
I use upvotes exclusively, and I assume it's the typical user behavior: Algolia HN search lists posts sorted by upvotes, and the most popular post has 6k+ upvotes, whereas the most favorites had (3 years ago) 90 faves.
