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.

Overall, thanks for your effort.

Hey thanks! I think I did go through that thread, but didn't follow up with HSI and eventually it faded out. Looks like it is still going strong.

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.

Why doesn't it let me sign up without entering my email?

I think when I registered on HN, it didn't make email as mandatory!! Or is my memory deceiving me?

Re:Ask HN: Can you suggest some good technical blogs to follow on Tuesday January 24, 2012 @12:13AM (#3503571)
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:

Once Death had ‘near Rajnikant experience’

Rajanikanth can do a wheelie on a unicycle.

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 ..

Re:What frustrates me the most as an entrepreneur on Sunday August 07, 2011 @01:21AM (#2855861)
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.

Seems like a chat client for geeks(i.e. we HN frequenters). Well, just looking at there setup section!! But as already said in other comments, there's nothing new.

The title could have been "chats are not dead yet, but innovative new chat tool are"
