Removed numerous broken resources from README #1

Ebennetteng · 2021-12-06T11:57:27Z

Broken links removed and new resource added, thank you

AkechiShiro · 2024-01-19T14:15:54Z

Why wasn't this PR accepted ?

@AkechiShiro @Ebennetteng I haven't checked this in a long time, and never expected it to really be used by many people! Sorry about that.

My typical process is using the .html as a list of bookmarks that is imported into the browser, which is way more up to date and organized compared to the README.md style list of links, and any updates to the README.md should attempt to replace broken links with a suitable replacement (at the very least, try archive.org and find an old version). Most links break because there is a new home for the original link or because there is a more up to date version, so finding those and replacing the broken link with that is much better than removing the link outright.

I will make some suggestions to this PR as an example, as I've already found a few cases where this can be applied.

Just for note, the README.md is VERY out of date and has not kept up with any of the 1000+ newly added bookmarks and reorganizations that I've done.

AkechiShiro · 2024-01-19T16:38:48Z

I think there should be two easy upgrade, a GitHub Actions that parses the bookmark, does a HTTP request to the website and a nslookup to check if still alive.

And update the bookmark.html file according to results

emtuls · 2024-01-19T16:46:42Z

That would be nice to consider! It might work better parsing the .html first and having it update the README.md, as that is MUCH more up to date and has many more links in it.

If you've got the extra cycles to help with that, I'd be open to it. I'm a bit tied up with many other things at the moment. 😊

Instead, we can add a link to some of the lectures or their youtube page which hosts the lectures each year:
