Over 500 Top PDFs posted to Hacker News in 2019

Hacker News is a GREAT source of tech news but one of the things I really like about it is when insanely smart people post actual PDFs they've found.

In the past I've seen PDFs from text books, brilliant original research and even old trusted technical books from the 80s and 90s.

So I figured it would be interesting to compute the top PDFs from 2019.

Also, if you need a tool to manage your PDFs which supports annotation and highlighting you should really take a look at Polar. It's Open Source, cross platform, and designed for people passionate about reading, education, and research.
