What Hacker News says
- Seeing this reminds me of something I'm not proud of. I've done effectively no reading this year. At least not by my normal standards.
I generally read between 30-50 books a year (mix of fiction and non-fiction). But this year I knew my focus was going to be more on research, reading papers, writing code, etc. so I set my reading goal lower than normal (I usually set it to like 75, knowing that that's a bit aspirational). This year? I set it to like, 30. And I won't come close to hitting that. Right now I'm at 7 books for the year. So I don't have a big sample set to choose from. :-(
That said...
Of what I did read, a couple were pretty good:
Non-fiction:
Fancy Bear Goes Phishing: The Dark History of the Information Age, in Five Extraordinary Hacks- Scott J. Shapiro
Readings in Agents - Huhns, Singh (eds)
Programming Multi-Agent Systems in AgentSpeak using Jason - Bordini, Hubner, & Wooldridge
Fiction:
In Too Deep (Jack Reacher, #29) - Lee Child
- Yeah, and this is a pattern I saw in the Fancy Bear Goes Fishing book, a lot of discovery of malware is either pure luck, or blunders from the malware developers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fancy_Bear_Goes_Phishing
- From Yale Law professor and frequent shitposter Scott Shapiro’s new book, Fancy Bear Goes Phishing https://www.penguin.co.uk/authors/122489/scott-shapiro
