May want to add link to HackerRank: Statistics and Machine Learning, but want to vet it a bit. The site has many categories, so I would like to check if these are (indisputably) worthwhile exercises before adding link.

The thing about HackerRank being given too much weight in hiring, sometimes, bugs me ...

A coworker recommended adding a link to HackerRank. (#28) Since this was yet another "challenges" resource ... but a unique one (the challenges are smaller/ bite-size) ... seemed useful, but also imbalanced the "Towards Expertise" section towards challenges/competitions, a little too much.

So that made me want to revise further, and emphasize that the challenges/competition way offers practice -- but that it should always be paired with understanding ... and also that the "independent research" approach -- doing practice projects driven by your own interests -- is complementary.
