Show HN: We made LinkedList NYC. A weekly newsletter for New York hackers.
- davidbalbert 16y agoThere's also a twitter account for more up to the minute things: twitter.com/linkedlistnyc
- j2d2j2d2 16y agoI am stoked for this. I have met David a couple times and know he's got the right mind and attitude to do a good job. NYC is not an easy place to navigate quickly. This newsletter will especially help hackers new to the NYC scene.
- rexf 16y agoI signed up. I've gotten countless StartupDigest e-mails that I've learned to ignore every Monday. If this LinkedList has relevant events, I'll actually read the e-mail.
- ohashi 16y agoProbably depends on the curator. I subscribe to a few cities and it really makes a difference.
- bmcmanus 16y agoWhich StartupDigest issue(s) do you ignore and why?
- nnythm 16y agonearly all of them: at least in nyc they tend toward bizdev instead of hacking
- davidbalbert 16y agoWe'll try to make it relevant. It's still evolving in our heads now. Probably a combination of programming meetups, hackathons, and possibly a cool party or two. Depends on what people want to hear about. Going to try to swing more towards tech things and away from businessy things. What kind of stuff do you want to see on the list?
- thushan 16y agoBrilliant. Is there an equivalent in SF?
- elliottcarlson 16y agoSigned up and following on twitter... looking forward to getting out and about more!
- davidbalbert 16y agoCool! Would love to hear any thoughts and suggestions you have along the way.
- joshwa 16y agoHow about a sample before I surrender my email address?
- nicholasjbs 16y agoThe New York Functional Programmers meetup is hosting a series of tutorials on learning functional programming. The first one is on Tuesday: http://www.meetup.com/lisp-59/ http://www.meetup.com/lisp-59/ (there's a waiting list of three people right now, but if it's like most meetups they will add a few spots and/or some people will change their RSVP to no at the last minute, though this is just a guess since I haven't been to this meetup before).
- emit_time_n3rgy 16y agoSays here in the headline "weekly newsletter for New York hackers," and on the linkedlist main page says "weekly newsletter of cool things for engineers to do in New York." Which is it? :) Related (but open+public): http://www.nyctechevents.com http://www.nyctechevents.com
- davidbalbert 16y agoHopefully both :). In reality, I just needed to make the headline more concise.
- will_lam 16y agoThere's also TheHackersDigest.com
- nnythm 16y agois it the same system as StartupDigest? It's a pretty broken system, afaik.
