Hi All !
Here is the weekly summary of Technical / Non-Technical topics that I found very resourceful.
Technical:

- Three scientists published a paper proving that Mercury, not Venus, is the closest planet to Earth using Python. Checkout the amazing visualizations built using Python for the same. Article – link . Video – link.
- What happens behind the scenes when you do a search in Google. – “How web works.“
- Here are a bunch of great qualities that every senior-engineer (pre-manager / manager), ideally should poses. Check out — ” What are the signs that you have a great manager? “
- One of my mentors always says this – “You are paid for your thinking and problem solving abilities”. Here is a great compilation of websites which will help you hone these skills. — “A list of all problem solving websites.“
Non-Technical:
- Here is another great Reading list. Note: Books are mainly Non-fictional / Programming related. — “Popular reading lists.“
- This year marks the 50th anniversary of first ever Moon landing. Here is a super-cool website to relive Apollo 11 mission! — “Apollo 11 in Real Time“. Click on Join-in Progress button.
- Wikipedia compilation of common misconceptions across Art & Culture, History and Science. Fun read. – “List of common misconceptions“
- An extract from the book that I am reading :
“A person’s success in life can usually be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have.”
