Ask HN: Which book can attract anyone towards your field of study?
496 by debanjan16 | 251 comments on Hacker News.
If you were to choose one book (or maybe more than one :P) to lure a curious person to your field of study, which will you choose? For example: How to Design Programs for Computer Science. Note: It has to be inviting for someone that knows nothing about the field but becomes hooked after reading it. Not some epitome which is revered by experts only.

New best story on Hacker News: Ask HN: If you used to be socially awkward and shy, how did you improve?

Ask HN: If you used to be socially awkward and shy, how did you improve?
494 by dondraper36 | 523 comments on Hacker News.
Recently, I cannot help but notice how shy and socially awkward I might be at times, which is quite frustrating. To be fair to myself, I am not awful in social situations in that depending on the context I can be seemingly confident and calm, especially when I am among people I know and the context is familiar. When it comes to new people and places, everything changes dramatically. My voice changes, my posture changes, everything changes. I can start being awkward in all possible senses. The discomfort gets to the point where I blush and this physical state of vulnerability and self-doubt of course makes things even worse :) I understand that all of that relates to self-esteem and phychology in general therefore my question. It's common to advise hitting on the gym, which I just started doing last week. Funnily, the gym is the place where I last noticed my awkward behavior :) If you have managed to deal with that and improve in that regard, what is your success story?

Ask HN: Who operates at scale without containers?
578 by disintegore | 425 comments on Hacker News.
In other words, who runs operations at a scale where distributed systems are absolutely necessary, without using any sort of container runtime or container orchestration tool? If so, what does their technology stack look like? Are you aware of any good blog posts? edit : While I do appreciate all the replies, I'd like to know if there are any organizations out there who operate at web scale without relying on the specific practice of shipping software with heaps of dependencies. Whether that be in a container or in a single-use VM. Thank you in advance and sorry for the confusion.
