In plain English

Qix is a personal collection of learning links and translated documentation, maintained by a developer who goes by Liao Jun on Weibo and Twitter. The repository is a curated index, not a software project. It points readers to articles, papers, and other resources covering a handful of technical topics that the author has been studying, and the GitHub description lists machine learning, deep learning, PostgreSQL, distributed systems, Node.js, and Go as the areas of interest. The content is split into a few categories. There are chapters on machine learning and deep learning resources (in two parts, dl.md and dl2.md), a chapter on the Go programming language, a chapter on PostgreSQL, a chapter on distributed systems, and a chapter on database systems in general. Each of these is a separate markdown file inside the repo that the README links out to. The links inside those files point to outside articles and reading material rather than to code held in this repository. One section of the repository is a translation effort. The author has translated the official documentation for node-mysql, which is a MySQL client for Node.js, from English into Chinese. The README links both to the original document on the node-mysql GitHub page and to the Chinese version, which lives inside this same repository at node.md. The README also includes a short About Me section with contact details for Weibo, Twitter, email, and a Telegram channel called Scale System. The author invites contributions through pull requests, and asks readers to file an issue if they spot incorrect attribution for any of the linked resources, since some of the original articles may have been mis-credited. The author notes that some information in the linked articles may be inaccurate, and welcomes corrections. The project is released under the MIT License. There is no code to install or run, no build steps, and no application output: the repository is a reading list, and the work is the curation itself.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
Read the dl.md and dl2.md chapter files in ty4z2008/Qix and group the linked articles into beginner, intermediate, and advanced machine learning topics.
Prompt 2
Build me a 4-week study plan from the links in the golang.md chapter of ty4z2008/Qix, with one topic per day.
Prompt 3
Pull the distributed systems links from ds.md in ty4z2008/Qix and tell me which ones cover Raft, Paxos, or consensus.
Prompt 4
Compare the node-mysql Chinese translation in node.md against the current upstream node-mysql README and list sections that are now out of date.
Prompt 5
Write a script that crawls every external link in the Qix chapter files and reports which URLs are dead.
