Broken/dead links found in README #900
Description
Hi! I was scanning the README for broken links and found these:
- http://thinkster.io - DNS resolution failed (domain no longer resolves, listed in JavaScript section)
- http://sahatyalkabov.com/create-a-character-voting-app-using-react-nodejs-mongodb-and-socketio - 404 (React/Node.js tutorial)
- http://dev.stephendiehl.com/fun/ - Connection timed out (Haskell tutorial)
Would you be open to a PR that replaces these with working alternatives? Happy to submit one.

I'd like to take this. Plan: replace the three dead links with verified Wayback Machine snapshots (and keep the entries in the list), rather than removing them.
Will open a PR linking this issue.

Happy to PR this: remove thinkster.io (domain gone), and I checked the other two — sahatyalkabov.com 404s and dev.stephendiehl.com times out consistently. Propose replacing the React voting-app slot with the official React docs tutorial + dropping the Haskell link. OK to open the PR?

it is done now you should close the issue for others not to get confused 😕.
