Joseph Albahari's personal blog at albahari.com covers programming. Since 2009, 16 different Hacker News readers have linked it 16 times, most often “Threading in C# - Free E-book”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (6) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Joseph Albahari's C# and threading writing, including the free threading guide and C# 4.0 in a Nutshell, as a reference and introduction to C# and .NET.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 6 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
The CLR has some implicit memory barriers that make most things "just work." Take a look at "[t]he following implicitly generate full fences" here: http://www.albahari.com/threading/part4.aspx . Parallel.For would probably be covered by "[a]nything that relies on signaling." There's more info scattered about in some Stack Overflow answers. The content is useful, just unofficial. E.g. http://stackoverflow.com/a/69322…

HN discussionThe best page-turner C# book I have ever read is "C# 4.0 in a Nutshell." This book comes from the guys who developed the awesome LINQPad. The book is filled with awesome nuggets and examples that were totally new to me. A lot of .NET books just read like msdn documentation. This is not one of them. http://www.albahari.com/nutshell/

HN discussionIt's pretty easy using LinqKit [1]. Just PredicateBuilder.Or() [2]. If you were to try and implement PredicateBuilder yourself that requires a little more knowledge around expressions, but it's worth learning and opens up a lot more possibilities.
