From what I heard here on HackerNews itself, that book is not 100% accurate. In fact some said that there were lot of errors in that book. So anyone planning to read it, I suggest keep verifying things to get your facts right. Will be a painful process, but better to learn the right things than have wrong info for something as critical as sleep.

Best investment ever. I make it a point to do 1 live course every week, even if its a repetition (read:revision) of an already done older course. Have been doing this since last 2 years, even though its a hefty cost on my pocket, the learning is great.

I have 19 years of experience. Started as a Network Technician, then Network Admin, then Linux Desktop Admin, Linux Admin, DevOps Engineer and now an SRE since last 5 years. Did I studied for any certification? Yes. To learn things. Did I gave the exams? No, never, nor will I.

Knowledge and troubleshooting is what matters. You may have lot of work experience to show but without knowledge it doesn't matter. Degrees don't matter either.

Which site have they released it on? Couldn't find it on the few I know.

Yeah! Me too!

Noob question - What websites are these where such data is published? I never came across any?

This is a very good idea.

The ongoing actor's strike in Hollywood should raise this point too, I think. That is the only chance the extras have.

We were Soldiers is also a very realistic movie. I would recommend it over Saving Private Ryan a hundred times!

Can you please more details on this database? How did you maintain and scale it? Issues with it something only type experience with it would learn? And things like that?

25Tb?

Size.

Develop my ability to be relaxed and take it easy, no what the situation. Don't stress about things, just work them out easy.

I just want to improve my ability to relax more in stressful situations and take it easy. Thats all.

Stupid question, but still out of curiosity: what's that site of which the screenshot has been posted?

It's not a thing now, but it used to be a great deal to thing around 2006-2008. 1000 sms packs used to be sold for 36 rupee and they sold like hotcakes.

Of course, old times. Not used anymore.

Can you point to the source of truth of your statement?

Nice link. Thanks for sharing. I took a quick glance and saw that most of them are for embedded systems. Apart from gdb, do you know anything more friendly for Unix and C/C++ programs?

Updating the title. Thanks for correction.

Hired a personal trainer for 3 months. Best part of my life. He was the best in the city, and he made me push my limits like anything. I achieved physical capabilities and mental toughness I never imagined I could. Gave me immense confidence in myself.

Planning to hire a seasoned developer to help me speed up learning C and C++ at an in depth level. Am a Linux admin, and don't find time to spend time on C/C++. So thinking of spending money on that too.

Point taken. Thanks.

Noted, and Thanks.

Noted! Thanks.

How drawing?

Learning Chess when I was 9 years old (1994) helped my way of thinking. It taught me to think of multiple possibilities, think afar, and to think of what could I do if things don't go the way I want them to go. Hence my belief in it.

What they may like may not be the best for them, having said that let me add that I don't force things upon then for long, but may be for enough to help them build an effective thinking framework.
