Come on we have an entire community of math and computer science wizards here, I think heuristics like that can be quite easily written. Especially using a tab for "Popular Books" and another "Highly Rated"

I was just waiting for a link like that, I was sure someone had already done this
Edit: I do still think an up/down vote system to build a Top Hacker News suggested books, could be really cool to see
Considering the age of this list, would it not be a terrible idea to create a new one using HN suggestions. Or maybe a much better idea, throw together a website where people can add books (using amazon metadata) and then up vote (or down vote) them so we can build a list of the most important books for hackers to read.
This seems absolutely perfect for note taking during lectures Right now I either:
Use a pad of paper and lose all my notes over time or Use my laptop and cringe every time the professor uses a symbol I can't easily type
This seems perfect
This one works great:
https://github.com/rsms/Go.tmbundle/tree/master/Syntaxes
Maybe it should be included by default
I am using it on Ubuntu 10.10, looks amazing, is there any way to add syntax highlighting for other languages (Go in my case)
