N2  - This is a very informative guide to thinking about programming from a Bayesian point of view. The word hackers in the title may be misleading to some, but if we think about hackers as explorers, builders and people who like to figure out how things, work, this is an approach to reason and thinking that can open new doors to a "hacker." The math can get a little funky at times, but that's a problem for us just power through and keep reading because the math is there to help illustrate the approaches and isn't specifically required for all of the exercises
