Yadi··on Show HN: Gun v0.1.0 – The Easiest Database Ever
Hey Mark! Congrats, it looks awesome, good to see this here!
Yadi··on Ask HN: What are some good online resources to learn electrical engineering?
This is an awesome EE course from MIT on AI:

MIT Course: 6.034 AI: Undergraduate level

Yadi··on Haskell in Production
Haha this reply cracked me up! So stereotypical and somehow true.
Yadi··on Ask HN: Stackoverflow changed a lot, any alternatives?
Personally, I've been answering very technically detailed questions in terms of micro-blogs on Quora.

However, on S.O., sometimes when the question is not too obvious or asking an exact thing the Admin tend to mark it as vague and get downvoted.

Try out the Subreddits for the exact questions or IRC channels.

I've used subbreddits for Rails and it's IRC, there are many nice people whom at least direct you to read something that has the answer.

I agree with you that sometimes StackOverflow is just a sausage fest of sad sacks whom never see the sun-light and have 20K upvotes (Which makes me rage quit every time I get downvote from them).

But still they might be able to answer your questions.

Yadi··on Ask HN: I have $2k for books, training and confs. What should I spend it on?
I would buy and look into the following books:

# HTTP: The Definitive Guide - O'Reilly Media

# Algorithms by Sedgewick

# Introduction to Algorithms by Cormen.

Check out some Machine Learning books:

# Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning

# Computer Networks (5th Edition)

I would look at the following book if you wanted more Q&A and interview questions:

# Cracking the Coding Interview: 150 Programming Questions ...

Tutorial memberships:

# I would buy a Tuts+ account, they have been very slow in releasing new content (too bad), however they have lots of great Web Development stuff.

I would read some other non-technical books:

# Hackers & Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age by Paul Graham

# The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz

# The Innovator's Dilemma: The Revolutionary Book That Will Change The Way You Do Business by Clayton M. Christenen,

# Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman

# How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

If you wanted to understand some Cloud stuff, look into the Whitepapers from Amazon Web Services:

# https://aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/

Yadi··on Show HN: Let's Chat, a self-hosted chat app for small teams
That sounds good my friend!
Yadi··on Golang web frameworks benchmark
Thanks!
Yadi··on Show HN: Let's Chat, a self-hosted chat app for small teams
Hah! No for real! Iove this, while ago I worked on something similar based on Rails for a startup, but I left it half way through.

Any plans to provide updates and take it to the next step?

Yadi··on Show HN: Let's Chat, a self-hosted chat app for small teams
This is so so awesome!
Yadi··on May Bayes Theorem Be with You
This is so good and useful! Thanks for sharing!

I'm just picking up Machine Learning these days and this is a good Bayesian intro.

Yadi··on Show HN: Gosms – Your own local SMS gateway powered by Golang
It' so cool to see something like this in GO.

Few years back I tried to implement a prototype very similar to this in C#.

My startup was for sharing routes through out sms, however my tel-com company was very cringe-y about the idea, so I decided to write one of my own.

Good job folks.

Yadi··on Uhh dude… you got hacked
Ow man that is bad!

Thanks for sharing. Lessons shared from this post:

    1- Lock down ALL ports you are not using with either iptables or ufw.


    2- Be sure to always run system updates, 
even with doing this the exploit still made it in, but the updates can help.

    3- Use tools available to you such as iptraf, nethogs, and iftop.


    4- Watch your cronjobs and strange startup files

I think locking down the ports that are not required is a very important thing to do.

I have faced such stuff, but with lower traffic luckily ended up creating a whole instance and server and ripping a part old configs and setup.

Yadi··on Golang web frameworks benchmark
I know this is a dumb question, but is there a conclusion to the benchmarks that which one would be more ideal to use?

I'm just learning GO, that is why I'm asking.

Yadi··on How ‘honey trap’ hackers stole Syrian rebel war plans
This is amazing! Sounds so much like a Hollywood movie.

Though this is most probably true, I worked at an ISP in North Iraq. The amount of ignorant high profile Internet users causes us lots of trouble.

Yadi··on AWS SDK for Go
Well well well! I guess it's time to put on back my GO hat.

Thanks for sharing Jeff! As usual good stuff.

Yadi··on Quora Haqathon results
HackerRank is pretty cool.

I've never done competitive programming like ACM and others, but the challenges on here are pretty cool.

Quora's ones specially :)!

Yadi··on From TechCrunch Disrupt to Israeli Intelligence
Pretty cool!

The dedication towards the goal is very entrepreneurial in itself :).

Yadi··on Isso – Open Source Alternative to Disqus
This is pretty awesome!

Is there a way to change the SQLite backend?

Yadi··on Pachyderm (YC W15) – A Data Processing Tool for the Docker Generation
Pretty cool!

Thanks!

Yadi··on Pachyderm (YC W15) – A Data Processing Tool for the Docker Generation
This is pretty awesome!

I was sold at this point:

'“if you can fit it in a Docker container, Pachyderm will distribute it over petabytes of data for you.” One cool example that uses Pachyderm is this MapReduce job for analyzing and learning from blunders in chess games.'

Yadi··on Show HN: The Silicon C++14 Web Framework
you actually answered on my question on another reply. I want to make a postgres adapter and use this to retrieve the data, since my current API is written in ruby and it's a bit too slow.

For the funding part! I'd love to help, perhaps a good start would be using it inside some solution :)! Been there done that. Either way kudos.

Yadi··on Show HN: The Silicon C++14 Web Framework
That is pretty awesome! Something for postgresql would be great.

My stack heavily relies on pg and the other ORMs performance have been disappointing, I need to use something like this.

Yadi··on Show HN: The Silicon C++14 Web Framework
This is so exciting! I wanna test it out right now and I have so many questions.

are there any more docs than the description on Github readme?

I know this sounds very n00b of me, but can I use this as an Api layer for raw data?

I'd love to see more middlewares built around it. I used the 'Tree frog framework' for a while, I felt my work flow was not too efficient due to different api layers.

Yadi··on We have broken HTTP
Amen to this:

"My point is that a lot of web developers today are completely ignorant of the protocol that is the basis for their job."

Yadi··on Brainfuck Optimization Strategies
This sounds cool, but I was not sure till halfway through the post if it's like an Onion article or not.

Yadi··on How to Learn Efficiently
Thanks for the awesome piece, I never knew about these stuff, but I have always realized that when I'm a little confused that means am almost learning about the topic.

Also! I can say I agree about the school part %100!

My professor who use to make us feel like we are failing the course every quiz, taught us the best of Web Protocols and advanced topics, however %3 passed the class. Literally me and 2 other students out of 10, so I guess it's just the matter of who really wants learn and whom just going in to get a degree.

Yadi··on List of Computer Science Courses
awesome! Yeah the list is super cool!
Yadi··on List of Computer Science Courses
I think these courses are awesome as well:

6006 Introduction To Algorithms from MIT

http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-comput...

Machine Learning from Stanford: Learn about the most effective machine learning techniques, and gain practice implementing them and getting them to work for yourself. https://www.coursera.org/course/ml

Yadi··on Algorithms playground for common questions solved in Ruby syntax
Ah! Good suggestion actually! Thanks a bunch.
