About

I liked Karpathy's HackerTube, so I did the same for every book, film, game, podcast and place HN commenters have recommended since 2006. Each list is ranked by how many different people recommended the thing. Here's HN's #1 pick in every category: Books: Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs Essays: Politics and the English Language, Orwell Blogs and magazines: The Economist Movies: The Matrix TV: Star Trek: The Next Generation Documentaries: Connections, James Burke Podcasts: Hardcore History Online video: 3Blue1Brown Courses: Andrew Ng's Machine Learning Music: SomaFM Video games: Factorio Board games: Catan Comics: xkcd Art: Guernica Places: Computer History Museum Food and drink: Philz Coffee Live performance: Hamilton Other: Vipassana 10-day meditation retreat
