koffiekop··on Ask HN: Should I get a mechanical keyboard?
I use a mechanical keyboard. And I have used it for a couple of years.

With rubberdome or ergonomic keyboards I always had problems with finger strain. The tactile feel of the keyboard allows you to use both short and long actions on the keys so that you don't get that strain.

However, they make a lot of noise and now I can't use it at work. ;(

We are currently using this book for a course at the Leiden institute for advanced computer science. It's pretty up to date.

It covers LSH, cosine similarity, Jaccard similarity as well as recommender systems applicable to the Netflix challenge and so forth.
