Links
Some websites have the potential to teach you more than you think.
Terence Tao's blog: Has it all. Math, advice on writing, advice on undergraduate and graduate school. It will probably take years before I completely read (and understand) the site.
Math3ma: My favorite blog for mathematics. Clear, intuitive, and extremely easy to understand without diluting any meaning behind the concepts. Managed by Dr. Tai-Danae Bradley. (I particularly enjoyed every article on Tensors.)
How to become a GOOD Theoretical Physicist: Nobel Laureate Prof. Hooft's site containing notes on practically every field in physics, ranging from basic mathematics to General relativity and QFT. Emphasis on solid foundations, as it should be.
Shtetl-Optimized: A blog of Prof. Aaronson. Extremely fascinating articles on Quantum computing, information theory, integrated information theory, etc.
Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy: As it's evident, the encyclopedia of philosophy, everything ranging from the lives of philosophers' to their ideas, concepts, interpretations in a detailed, formal fashion.
