You have a pretty diverse collection of books there!
Do you update the site regularly?
I would suggest that you explicitly name the site as hacker-books or something like that. For people who don't know about HN, would be able relate to the name better.
Also consider adding a list of online resources that are not in published form. There are a ton of that out there, would make it even more diverse.
This is a best-of-the-best collection, so I only anticipate adding 5-7 books per year. Maybe not that many. I shoot for books that I know will be classics 20 years from now.
Great idea about the name and the online resources. Thanks! I tried adding tools for a while. There are a lot of possibilities with a site like this. My plan is just to take it slowly. Since it's a classics thing, there's no hurry.
right!
I live in India, and though I do tend to get updates about local startups irregularly, I am still not aware of any good HN like site which keeps me up to date with all the latest activities in Indian startup world.
Most of the stuff that I tend to find using Google is more about the things/features/products that tech companies are dishing out. However, I don't get blogs that are more into the technical details like Algos, architecture, design, programming etc.
There are a few goods posts on HN every now and then, but would love people to share what interesting technical feeds they follow regularly.
Here in India, we have a very popular actor, RajniKanth, whose awesomeness occasionally goes down the line drawn by Chuck.
Here are some cool RajniKanth quotes:
I guess a procrastinator would have a hard time thinking about what are the important tasks what not .. Mr Professor might deem that he is a procrastinator, but I think he really is not ..
My thoughts exactly, I have already thought of this theory many times, but I am too lazy to make the list and prioritize it and then try to figure out how to trick myself into thinking that non-important things are top priorities...
Absolutely!! I think if someone is really that necessary or could add value that could make a drastic change, you should ask him to become a co-founder.
Every founder would want the best people to work for him, but can they afford them? And if they can't how far are they willing to go to get the person.
A person can work under his pay-grade only if he thinks he owns the thing and can see his future connected with in terms of prosperity and happiness.

Overall, thanks for your effort.
