Thanks for posting these - these books look like exactly what I have been looking for recently! I'm someone who procrastinated and crammed my way through high school and undergrad level maths and then promptly forgot all of it once I finished schooling. I plan on working through them soon. Hopefully this isn't an annoying question, but do you still intend to publish a guide to statistics?

Yes! Very much so. I'm in the final stages of cooking it right now, hoping to make it available for sale in the coming months.
Statistics is by far the hardest subject I've had to write about, as I had to (re)learn pretty much everything. I did several rewrites (working on tis book for the past seven years!), but now it's finally ready to ship. You can check out the notebooks from the book here: https://nobsstats.com/ and a detailed outline here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fwep23-95U-w1QMPU31nOvUn...
ETA July for digital download, then one round of copy-editing, and September for first print version.
I don't know why but actually rendering the equations (mathjax? didn't check) is such an eye-catching way to see those problems in a feed like that, and having it almost mimic HN with a comment section is awesome. This is super cool!
Good luck Vivek, this looks really nice! I was in Bangalore for the first time this Feb and had a great time. You should check out Mecca cafe, it's thoda grimy but a total vibe.
What a fantastic idea – I know I got the most out of my college math classes collaborating on homework – well, I really only survived because of collaboration. Learning math has been inseparable from collaboration since Ethen.

Are many of them programmers/techie or academicians?

I also have a longer book that includes calculus and physics (cf. links in profile). </shameless plug>
