HN Reader

Hello! I just signed up. Is there a way I can view past book discussions?

Hey folks, this is the 7th book in a series of readings I run over Google Groups. There are about 1800 people in the group and 300-800 join each reading. While we often read books on database internals this one seems pretty relevant to any developer working on systems that scale. Hope to have you in the group!

Also even if you don't want to join this particular reading, join the mailing list for the overall book club (on /bookclub.html) because we're going to read Designing Data Intensive Applications 2nd Edition together after it comes out this winter.

This seems great! Would love to join however I can only seem to find the 2008 and 2012 pdf of The Art of Multiprocessor Programming for free, is there a link for the 2020 version?

Signed up. Concurrency has been a bit of a blindspot for me outside the basics. It'll be nice to be able to really evaluate approaches and understand the internals.

Why is a LinkedIn URL needed? Some people don't have one.

It says to find a 2020, but all I can see (on O'Reilly) is a revised reprint from 2012.

Also, if you sign up is this then only for this book's discussion?

The 2nd edition was published in 2020 by Morgan Kaufmann (ISBN: 978-0124159501) and is available on Amazon and other book retailers, though the 2012 "revised reprint" of the 1st edition is often confused with it.

To the OP, as a participant in one of your previous reading groups and an organizer of similar groups:

What are your goals for these reading groups? How completely are you meeting them? "Goals" in a broad sense, anywhere from "motivating myself to read more" to "building a community of experts and friends."

Thanks for this! Signed up. Do we get an invite to the group.

Is it possible to sign up without a Linkedin account?

Hi Phil, I want to join the group. The form asks "chapter discussion starter email", what do you mean by that?

I saw a past iteration was in person in NYC. Do you still do in person or is it all virtual now?

Sounds like an amazing idea. Looking forward to it!

This seems interesting. Any specific reason why it's over emails instead of something like a forum or discord?
