Software Internals Book Club
- adangit 5mo agoWho's starting a monthly HN: Book Club?
- clumsysmurf 5mo ago"High Performance Browser Networking" I wish there was an update to this book, reading it a while back I think it covered some proposed HTTP/2 features but definitely not HTTP/3. Many of the issues discussed had to do with TCP itself.
- eatonphil 5mo agoMe too. Everyone should email O'Reilly.
- ozgrakkurt 5mo agoIt looks amazing as a reading list. I am also reading the OS book by Tanenbaum since the three piece book got very boring after a bit of reading
- vjay15 5mo agoI remember reading Tanenbaum, the dino book right? It is amazing
- ozgrakkurt 5mo agoDino book is written by someone else. Also found that one boring
- ofrzeta 5mo agoThe Stallings book is very good.
- ozgrakkurt 5mo agoI found it mentions too many out of context things. I’m not in a position to judge if it is technically good
- sdevonoes 5mo agoWeird. I got bored with the Tanenbaum books (because they are very abstract and theoretical). The 3 piece book OS was very refreshing and I actually learned stuff
- eatonphil 5mo agoAgreed.
- LPisGood 5mo agoWell I don’t have Linkedin so that’s a shame. The idea is very good.
- simonw 5mo agoI expect if you use www.linkedin.com/i-do-not-have-linkedin as the URL Phil will let you in anyway.
- LPisGood 5mo agoI wonder if someone could be arrested for gaining unauthorized access to a computer system via fraud under US law for doing that.
- ornornor 5mo agoWhat? How?
- tardedmeme 5mo agoThe computer fraud and abuse act is extremely broad to the point of absurdity.
- ndneighbor 5mo agoconfirmed (I help host nycsystems w/ Phil- we don't mind, just an easier way to know who is who other than email)
- jruohonen 5mo agoMy sentiment too: a nice idea worth supporting but the execution has something to improve. In addition to LinkedIn: "All discussion is via a Google Group."
- eatonphil 5mo agoIf you start one your own way and you read interesting books I will happily tell people about yours. :)

- globalnode 5mo agoI would love to see a maths version of this bookclub
- vismit2000 5mo agoTake a look at resources here: https://momath.org https://momath.org, specifically Best of Volumes Book Club https://momath.org/volumes/best-of/ https://momath.org/volumes/best-of/
- ungut 5mo agoLol, requires LinkedIn and can't parse valid email addresses. This is what senior+ software development looks like.
- sudb 5mo agoFamously valid email address parsing is far from trivial[1] - I wouldn't be so quick to judge! 1. https://www.regular-expressions.info/email.html https://www.regular-expressions.info/email.html
- nagaiaida 5mo agothat's an excellent reason why one shouldn't validate emails by parsing, not an excuse for barring valid emails through poorly implemented validation
- sudb 5mo agosure, but I was replying to a complaint about failure to parse, not existence of parsing isn't the real pragmatic answer to parse out known invalid email address strings, and only attempt to deliver an email if unsure?
- xboxnolifes 5mo agonot parsing is a form of parsing... you're just accepting everything.
- bobbiechen 5mo agoSending emails that bounce is a really good way to increase the chance that your subsequent emails end up in spam.
- Insimwytim 5mo agoIt requires javascript as well.
- rdevilla 5mo agoThis is great. I sort of feel a lack of fora for discussing technical books over a longer lifetime than merely say, the HN front page. While there is a very good selection of readings, it's unfortunate that both LinkedIn and Google are being used here, especially if the discussion is text-only.
- ryanar 5mo agoThis is so neat, as Phil mentioned in the How to run a software bookclub post, out of a group of 500, only 1-2%, 5-10 people may contribute with comments. But he lets the group grow in size because it is minimal overhead and many "lurkers" say they really appreciate reading the comments and get a lot out of it. I am left wondering is there any way to see past comments on book discussions? I would love to read the discussions as I go through a book already done by the club on my own.
- eatonphil 5mo agoI keep thinking about doing future ones semi-public (need to sign up to be allowed to post) but I already spend more time on the book club than I particularly want to so I mostly just keep doing the same thing which works fine enough. It's also not unlikely we'd repeat a book in a few years (for example we'll read DDIAv2 probably next year). So for now, join the mailing list and new readings as they happen.
- flumpcakes 5mo agoI've tried many times to sign up but never got in/received an email - I'd like to join, even as a "lurker".
- Metaluim 5mo agoIt's funny - I was just thinking about your book club earlier this morning. Found some good recommendations over there!
