This is an awesome beast of a knowledge graph db built by a very talented, dedicated and energetic and all around super nice team. I've played around with it and it's really worth checking out. They also have very good docs, tutorials and online meetups.

What is the best book or video is always hard to say, but it's always interesting to see such collections, having studied CS myself and working in the field for 20 years. I'd appreciate proper quotations though, missing the books authors. Also a short reasoning why this title was selected would be helpful. Thanks for putting this together!
In Austria, since I think 2016, you also get automatic tax returns as an employee, but these are calculated based on a minimum standard wage and parameters, so you want to do the math on your own anyway, but it's very simple and straight forward, at least once you validated your account, which is a very official procedure but ok for security reasons. There's a simple online form where you basically only have to put 4 sums for each tax category and that's it, the rest is already sent by your employer. Always a nice and welcome surprise and a rewarding experience

I'm a loyal crossover user and can only confirm the very well done easy setup, handling and transparent support for all kinds of Windows apps, also bought a licence to support open wine development.

What a really nice Christmas present from the HandBrake team! Kudos, it's my favorite video transcoder since it's debut on BeOS back then...

see also the really well done movie "That Sugar Film" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3892434/) where exactly this connection is laid out in the first part.
