A story about "Beyond Contact: A Guide to SETI and Communicating with Alien Civilizations" — 7 years ago
I find most of this pretty boring, but the discussion of how we could communicate with aliens is pretty interesting.
A story about "Apple Confidential" — 7 years ago
You’ll probably like this if you’re the kind of obsessed Apple fan who starts fan clubs for magazines for fans of a brand of a computer company. Cough.
A story about "Learning Python (Help for Programmers)" — 7 years ago
The book that taught me Python. I read this book one afternoon and by that evening I had finished it and was coding away. (Although that may say more about Python than the book…)
A story about "AppleScript in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference (Nutshell Handbook)" — 7 years ago
Bogged down by exhaustive enumeration, the main lesson I took away from that book is that AppleScript isn’t all that complicated, even if it is hard to write.
A story about "Information Anxiety 2" — 7 years ago
While there are some good parts to this book it’s hindered by the author’s love of bragging and self-inflation.
A story about "Visual Explanations: Images and Quantities, Evidence and Narrative" — 7 years ago
Classic.
