Also interested. I've been intending to read hatcher which is the usual recommended book on the topic. Any particular reason you chose this book?

Most entertaining technical book I've ever read and surprisingly still relevant.

Weird how people who worked on commercial Unix would use commercial Unix.

Both the practice of programming and that one are still relevant

There was a course at my university about algebraic topology.
At the time I didn't have time to take this course, but now it's not available anymore.
On the courses website it mentioned that it would follow this book, and as I'm still interested in the topic I decided to study it on my own for a bit.

>>58784364
how detailed is this? does it teach some low level sockets wizardry?

why are most of /lit/'s recommendations so nauseating?
Is it just discomfort one feels when treading into a new domain?

>>58784691
/lit/ is full of 15 year olds with no friends who think they're geniuses, what are you into and what are you looking for?

>>58784691
Because you are a neophyte and suffer from dunnin-kruger.

Yeah, I made the mistake of going to /lit/ once myself. >>58784782 put it best.

Computational scientist. Not archaeology, though.

The Pragmatic Programmer [finished, would recommend]

Clean Code [finished, would recommend]

The Practice of Programming (which you listed) [finished, would recommend]

Concrete Mathematics [half way through, would recommend if you're into math]

Effective C++ (the series) [only read the 1999 copy, but it was good]

GoF Design Patterns [finished, not fun reading but kind of obligatory]

The MIT Deep Learning online book [half way through, good if you're into AI]

I highly recommend a math section and a programming section.

Maybe you just got meme'd? /g/'s "install Gentoo" is equivalent to /lit/'s "read Ulysses".

There are plenty of light reads in there, though. This chart is a good entry point to serious literature for plebs who otherwise never touched a literary book.
