Been running this site for about 15 years now and while I don't post often it's usually long-form detailed articles on a broad range of hardware/software/tech/design topics that take me a few months of spare time:

Getting started with security keys (15k words) https://paulstamatiou.com/getting-started-with-security-keys...

Building a Lightroom PC (30k words) https://paulstamatiou.com/building-a-windows-10-lightroom-ph...

I also host my photography and frequently updated gear/stuff/software-i-use pages like: https://paulstamatiou.com/stuff-i-use/

all the best :)

i'm interning there this summer and hoping things can play out for me to still go

Mine is https://tkainrad.dev

I think you should read my blog because I invest a lot of effort into my posts. Not sure why I do that, as there is no reward except growing Google Analytics numbers.

My three most successful articles have been

- Managing my personal knowledge base: https://tkainrad.dev/posts/managing-my-personal-knowledge-ba...

- Setting up a Linux Workstation for Software Development: https://tkainrad.dev/posts/setting-up-linux-workstation/

- Using Hugo, GitLab Pages, and Cloudflare to create and run this Website: https://tkainrad.dev/posts/using-hugo-gitlab-pages-and-cloud...

For the past couple of months, I have been working on a side project that uses Django, VueJS, and has to do with the use of key combinations. So in the future, you can expect technical posts about these technologies and posts about this domain.

I agree I tried to do it here : http://luap.info:4000/links

Basically I'm taking all the links published into HN and I'm filtering the domains which are news domains or appear too frequently, but that is still a lot of links, so I'm not calling it a success yet

I agree that your method is not quite there yet, still a lot of large domains (airbnb.com, spiegel.de, spectator.co,...), but you started and that is already more than I ever did ;)

I would suggest including the HN metadata, such as the number of upvotes and comments. These are, in combination with the title, important criteria for me whether I click on something or not.

That test isn't quite right. The false negatives include links to old blog posts, and the false positives include the honourable few sites that provide full-textish feeds of something other than a blog. But it's pretty good if you want to filter away content marketing and read tech blogs.

The filters I'm using are :

- the same user who post too often

- domain too frequent

- a list of blacklist words in the title

- a list of blacklisted domains

I already filter about 80% of links I would say (which is few enough to go through the list every day, about 200 posts)

About the HN meta data, I don't think it is a good idea to keep the upvotes, because this is exactly where the issue is, if you see a post with low upvotes people tend to not read it, doesn't mean it is not interesting, and for the comments same for not displaying the number, but you can still access the hn comment page by clicking on 'hn link'

I’ve been thinking about the same thing. Something styled along the likes of HN (Eg super minimal), but focussed on technical/HN-crowd topics and every post on the front page is a blog post, and every user profile shows all those user’s posts.

Akin to Medium or Wordpress.com but minimal and very technical.

Of course it’s easy to make such a site, but getting enough people to contribute and get it going will always be the hard part.

This is something myself and a partner are working on. Clean UI with a focus on techincal content written in a markdown editor. Any writing about hardware or software is welcome, dev spam gets moderated. We've had a some decent contributors so far but getting the content flywheel going is definitely the hardest part. We're busy fine-tuning a release with updated import/export features and markdown editor updates which will hopefully help attract more people.

So anything like Medium, dev.to, InfoQ, DZone, etc. is not really what I was getting at. It would have to be a link aggregator like HN that either has an army of editors, a disciplined community that flags invalid posts, or a technical way to filter for personal blogs.

Oh boy, do I have a blog post for you (and anyone who wants to build such a thing)!

(Sadly it's on Medium, but still...)

https://xkcd.com/810/

Good post! I enjoy the idea of whitelisting for positive consensus rather then trying to black list bad actors

Some of the best tips and techniques that I’ve learned, have come from "scruffy" Medium posts.

My own presentation tends to be highly-polished, but that’s because I’ve been writing all my life (never professionally). Not many folks read my writing, but it’s something in which I take some pride, so it comes across in a fairly slick manner.

I may be older than most on HN, but when I think back to the internet of the late 90's if you squint a bit and remove all the brochure websites, the internet was essentially exactly this!

After all what is a geocities page but a blog that replaces longform content with animated "under construction" gifs?

Over time, I made small changes, added side menus and re-designed the landing page.

on lobste.rs around 20% of the content or more seems to be submitted by the authors. They have a separate tag which tells if the submission is added by the author or by somebody else.

I wrote a post about the Metagame that was on HN's front page a few weeks ago. But the context in which that post exists is actually in the context of smart thinking in one's career.

My hard rule with the blog is that I should (as much as possible) write only about things I can verify through practice. None of that 'it sounds insightful because it is novel, but actually I came up with it in the shower and I've not actually tested it in real life'.

It makes it a little difficult to write these days, as I'm doing a lot of thinking, reading, and experimenting around the recession. I should have more in a few months.

My only comment, in the form of a sticker warning, would be that thinking about the world purely via a lens of pragmatism (e.g. 'winner takes all', 'be mission agnostic', etc.) and performance (e.g. 'maximally optimise your career capital', etc.) can cause burnout. Or it did for me at least. This is because it can simultaneously build cynicism (cyclical negative thinking patterns) and impossible personal goals (confirming experiences of failure or struggle). The heuristic isn't worth that sacrifice, even if it leads you to the "right" answer.

I found your blog via the aforementioned Metagame post.

Not that you need it, but I hope I offer some validation in confirming that your ideas around career moats and the "meta" of your career definitely lines up with my own anecdotal experience.

I find that in my spare moments of time to pare down my "to-read" list, your posts have been steadily bubbling their way to the top.

OT: Why your blog articles are not dated?

I write about making music, building things, software, contra dance, effective altruism, parenting, weird ideas, and anything else I think of.

I always wanted to ask people who do things like this on their websites:

Why?

Why if I’ve never even seen your site, do you think that the first thing I want to do is divulge my email address to you and receive spam?

I don’t know even one thing about your site yet. Haven’t read word #1 from headline #1 of article #1 yet, but you seem to think my real goal is to get email from you.

I mean, do you get actual people who do that? Not bots that submit random emails to random fields, but real people who sign up for mailing lists without having read a single article?

At least it’s not a dialog that renders on a delay after I’ve been reading something for 5 seconds, I guess. You’re honest enough to show me the signup link right off the bat so I know to close the tab, so thanks for that.

(Sorry if I seem overly angry about this... I actually kinda am, because I remember a time when this wasn’t nearly ubiquitous on every damned weblog. My policy is to always close the tab when I get an email signup form, and so far I’m sticking to that.)

Btw using mobile emulation I tried iPhone 5/SE/6/7/8/X, and on none of those did the signup form take up the whole screen. Maybe it's because the emulation doesn't have browser frames? Either way will eventually shrink that down so it doesn't occupy so much screen real estate.

> Why if I’ve never even seen your site, do you think that the first thing I want to do is divulge my email address to you and receive spam?

Don't know why you think my emails are spam! I think there are nicer way to convey your message, but appreciate you are sharing your thoughts. I myself often use uBlock origin to select + remove sticky headers/sidebars/ads which often detract from the main reading experience.

Remember, we don't know anything about your site yet. We haven't read any of your content yet. How would we possibly know that your emails might be worthwhile?

It's like when an app asks you to rate it the first time you've opened it. Maybe it is a good app, and maybe it deserves a great rating after a week of use. But it's a very bad first impression.

So then the question arises: why do you have a popup on your site that does exactly that?

> sometimes I do the thing that works/is quickest to do, move on, and then revisit when I have time

Knowing me, it was probably something where, at the time of building (2015), I saw elsewhere - naively assumed it was a good idea/it works, copied it and moved on. I didn't give it as much thought as I could have. Now it's a case to prioritise that and improve it, along with some other much needed optimisations.

I should have specified here: I didn’t open the site all the way, instead I did a long press on the link from HN which shows a preview of the page in a smaller-sized frame. This frame only showed me a signup link, so it was enough for me to determine your site must not be worth my time, and I closed the preview. I do this with nearly all links to sites I haven’t been to, exactly because it’s easier to close the preview when it’s something like this signup link.

> Don't know why you think my emails are spam! I think there are nicer way to convey your message, but appreciate you are sharing your thoughts.

Others have chimed in to clarify here, but I haven’t seen anything on your site yet but a signup form. How am I to know it’s not spam?

If you’re like me, you don’t just go putting your email into random fields on the web, because the probability a given signup link will eventually give your email away to scammers is really high. If not because the site you’re on is a scam site, then because the database it’s using will probably get hacked some day. Or maybe they’ll sell the site to somebody else some day, and the whole mailing list goes with it. Who knows. But a general policy I have is, I just don’t give my email out to people I don’t trust. (And I just arrived at your site, how would I know to trust you? Because you say so?)

The only actual content is one headline at the bottom. Mailing list signup occupies the rest of the screen.

I don' really have a good model of why, but empirically it does. And it's not what you'd think either: it's just be spam or bot or something. It's real people who actually do it, and do it a huge percentage of the time, and who collectively make a categorical difference to your viewership.

It's weird, honestly. I wish I understood better why it was such a strong effect.

Follow-up questions if you don’t mind:

- How do you know it’s not just bots filling in email addresses?

- Do you get analytics showing how many people leave the page when they get the signup dialog?

1. I know because I sold to my list, and the people who signed up from intrusive signup popups were just as likely to buy my products as anyone else, and their virality was the ~same as other sources (ie. the rate at which they shared my stuff). I guess it's possible that an army of bots was sharing my posts and buying my products, but..?

2. Yes, bounce rate is a basic thing almost everyone monitors, and yes, intrusive popups increase bounce rate. But less than you might imagine, and not nearly enough to turn the tide of increased signups.

Like I said, I find it counter intuitive myself, and have no real explanation, just made up stories about it. All I know is that what I consider to be intrusive signup processes have had a life altering effect on my bank account.

Showing this to everybody shows it more reliably to those who actually will sign up. It is hard to target the right people reliably (maybe they deleted their cookies, maybe they use a different device...) so if you just show it to everybody the right people will definitely see it. First time visitors still won't sign up, but significantly more established readers will.

You see this exploited constantly by GDPR popups designed to default to giving the site everything and requiring the user to put an ounce of thought into opting out.

It happens because it works. If bounce rates went up by any statistically significant measure that wasn't more than offset by conversions, sites would stop doing it. There are entire businesses around teaching bloggers how to monetize their blogs, do you think they're not testing the effect this has?

> My policy is to always close the tab when I get an email signup form, and so far I’m sticking to that.

And it's your loss.

All these methods try to find the most efficient sampling techniques that minimize various undesirable effects such as aliasing.

Techniques and topics include: blue noise distributions; low discrepancy quasirandom sequences; orthogonal grid-based sampling; and even-sampling on the surface of n-spheres.

My most favourite articles (two of which have previously been featured on HN) include:

* "The unreasonable effectiveness of quasirandom sequences" http://extremelearning.com.au/unreasonable-effectiveness-of-...

* "A new method to construct isotropic blue noise with uniform projections" http://extremelearning.com.au/isotropic-blue-noise-point-set...

* "Evenly distributing points on a sphere" http://extremelearning.com.au/evenly-distributing-points-on-...

I hope that someone finds some of these useful and interesting. ;)

It will document my 10 year journey as a Police Officer in Australia and transition back into the real world. (plus it gives me a document of my time before is dispaears into eternity)

The other half will be interviews/profiles of other former officers that have moved on / medically retired with pstd and how leaving the force has effected them.

It may not be the most admired occupation by some, but the after effects can often lead to suicide, so I am to hopefully make it a place that may offer some others some hope.

Feel free to sign up, hopefully should have posts coming this week.

I'm looking forward to reading the rest of it.

But now I'm selling comms and tactical tech back into the LE community. So I get to still play with all the toys, without the responsibility.

My blog covers topics that are rarely covered or looked at by MSM in the Caribbean. For example, I've been collecting and compiling murder rates and fuel prices - going back a few years - for one island (and slowly branching out to another). I've also looked at the number of KFC's per capita across the region, and also compared prices for a Zinger sandwhich across the Caribbean in USD Dollars (something similar to the Big Mac Index, helpful for PPP analysis but not conclusive as its just one item).

Recently, I've been looking at COVID-19 in the Caribbean and have a few articles up (doctors per capita, tracking confirmed cases via: https://covid19.caribbeansignal.com)

Be safe!

Not a blog, and you probably shouldn't read it. I have a few article series that have become relatively popular:

- The multiplayer architecture articles, about Client Side Prediction, Server Reconciliation, and Entity Interpolation: https://gabrielgambetta.com/client-server-game-architecture....

- The A* articles, going over graph search in general and deriving A* in a natural way: https://gabrielgambetta.com/generic-search.html

- Computer Graphics from scratch, inspired on the lectures I gave in university. Develops both a raytracer and a rasterizer from scratch. Soon to be an actual physical book by No Starch Press: https://gabrielgambetta.com/computer-graphics-from-scratch/i...

I also have a bunch of unrelated technical ideas (a different way to write game remakes, a code-golf raytracer), and a bit about my novel (both about the creative and technical processes).

The one on client-server game architecture motivated me to start https://github.com/halftheopposite/tosios (still a WIP and a very naive implementation, but working on it).

Most of my posts are about technical topics, but they rarely end up being pure tutorials; they're usually relating back to system design, projects/games, or current events.

My blog also features no Javascript requirements and no tracking of any kind, including Google Analytics. I'm in the middle of a rewrite that will make it even smaller and faster to load, and that will eventually get rid of even the minimal Cloudflare cookie.

For anyone reading this who wants more information on how they work without needing to dig through the site's source code, there's a quick demo I have up on JSFiddle. This was written a while ago, I suspect there are easier ways to make this work today.

There are a few irritations I have with the sidenotes that I want to clear up in the redesign (specifically for mobile readers), so this implementation might get tweaked a little bit in the future.

The hanging quotes are probably the part of this site I'm most proud of. They're pure HTML/CSS and render as smart quotes, but if you select the text to copy, you'll get normal straight quotes, which makes pasting into sites like HN slightly nicer and more consistent. The implementation was kind of cobbled together from a couple of other sites, and then extended to be more robust and support a few edge-case scenarios.

- Hanging quotes both at the start and within paragraphs: http://jsfiddle.net/danShumway/36jag4o2/

I love sidenotes in general but they tend to break down on vertically oriented mobile devices. It took me ages come up with a solution and even then I am not really happy with it.

I'm not sure how well this would work for shorter notes though.

I ended up doing pretty much the same thing. It doesn't work so well for footnotes that are supposed to be linked to a particular work though.

Here is an example from my site with both footnotes and sidenotes[0]. I style the sidenotes to be distinct from normal paragraphs, which can look great or weird depending on the content.

Honestly I don't have much worth reading on my blog. But I see a lot of posts about the "best way to store knowledge" - org-mode, roam, zettelkasten, markdown etc.

My blog isn't worth reading because that's exactly what I use it for. If you're looking for a way to [1] take notes, [2] keep track of links you enjoyed reading, or [3] save links to things you want to learn about in the future, then I recommend doing it in your blog.

At the end of your life you'll be able to look back at your own personal wikipedia of knowledge.

Posts (maybe) worth reading:

* Design tips for developers: https://paul.copplest.one/blog/design.html (was fairly controversial when I posted it previously)

* My previous company's tech stack: https://paul.copplest.one/blog/nimbus-tech-2019-04.html#tech...

Also a currently-unmaintained site: https://mentalmodels.co

It has very clear navigation and the side menu makes it easy to jump between posts and even get an overview of the current post. This is something a lot of blog sites lack.

Haha, I've been noticing the smae thing.

Have you tried TiddlyWiki by the way? You can Google me on it. I have a couple comments about it on how I've used it to give myself a daily questionnaire.

I write about Frontend dev (React/Svelte/Tailwind/etc) and Node/Serverless, but my best pieces are junior/intermediate dev career advice stuff and that has frontpaged HN a few times

I write about...books. I don't think there's much point to reading it unless you've already read the book I'm talking about.

I mostly do it because I found I use to read books and then never talk about them or think about them afterwards so I would just forget about the book after a little while. I figured that writing something down about the book would help clarify my thoughts on it and I could remember it better.

I also wanted to build something with spring boot and kotlin so this was it.

Appreciate the feedback

I started writing 2017 as a new years resolution.

Back in the days I mostly wrote about things that I encountered in my daily development work and saw people struggle with or I struggled with myself. Webpack, React, etc.

It helped me to understand things by writing explanations for other people.

2019 I started to get offerings from companies to write for them, that moved the focus from my own problems in frontend development to the problems of other people. I wrote a few interesting pieces about APIs.

Today I make most of my money by writing for different companies all over the world, often I don't find the time to create my own content anymore, so my blog is often filled with guest posts.

On the one hand it's sad, because it goes more into the agency direction than into the influencer direction, but on the other hand I make good money with writing, and normally writers aren't paid well, so I got that going for me, haha.

I write about death. (Also have had explanatory articles here and there too)

I plan to write more about death and liberal arts stuff in years to come.

some notable past articles:

I’ve been blogging about 5-6 years now on a regular basis - just all sorts of tutorials on web development, frameworks, cs, devops, whatever I’m learning at the time. I’ve also written for a bunch of publications like DigitalOcean and make a lot of open source side projects, so there’s plenty of quality content. But it’s pretty much all JavaScript/Typescript/Node.

My biggest tip is to just always keep track of what you’re learning as you learn it. Learning Docker? Write down each command that successfully does what you want. Keep track of setbacks. By the time you learn it, you now have all the resources to make an extremely useful article for someone else.

Also, try to create something from start to finish - a working tutorial, and list all prerequisites. If you’re writing a tutorial, that is. That’s what I’m best at, I’m much worse at writing opinions.

Most of all, don’t be afraid to put anything out there.

I basically just write about whatever I'm interested in.

Here's a sequence I did on rocket engines and what is fundamentally different between chemical propulsion, electric propulsion, nuclear propulsion, etc.

It is my side project, a blog about watch straps.

You should read it because the world of custom watch straps is actually pretty amazing and full of really cool artists doing leatherwork. If any of you own watches and want a new strap, check out my list of custom watch strap makers: https://basicbands.com/list-of-custom-watch-strap-companies/

The work there is incredible, and its a lot of fun interacting with and interviewing artists. I realized after I started how small most watch strap companies are. Its a very pleasant side project that bring in about $200 a month (mostly through Amazon affiliate sales on watches).

As you guessed it, I publish a weekly post about open source.

In 2018 only, GitHub had over 100 000 000 repositories, so I'm here to curate this and find the hidden gems.

I try to publish only projects that I think can have a big / positive impact on the world .

One big theme is owning you personal data, building infrastructure for that, and tools to work with it. A good start to explore this might be "How to cope with having a fleshy human brain": https://beepb00p.xyz/pkm-setup.html

Some posts are more centered about programming specifics for designing such tools, in particular, Python.

A related topic I blog about is quantified self, lifelogging, etc.

I'm also sharing ideas and half-baked notes and links on the "Ideas" and "Exobrain" pages.

In my drafts I also have some physics notebooks I'm working on at the moment!

Started it back at the end of 2014. I have been maintaining a twice-a-month publishing schedule (roughly) for the past two years.

In the past year and a bit I've been focused on writing about backend topics from a Go angle. Usually the posts are +3K words, with relevant code examples, explaining a deep technical topic. I always try to I take the reader from first principles and build the knowledge up from there.

(click on All Posts). I write about web development, primarily React, but I’m trying to branch out into other front end and back end stuff.

I also run a smaller blog where I put solutions to obscure tech problems I ran into.

http://wisercoder.com/

I'm a software engineer from Israel. I'm mainly a Pythonista, but I also dabble in C++ and Embedded Linux. I write about code, technology and my personal life - from a programmer's perspective.

Highlights:

Knowledge Debt https://amir.rachum.com/blog/2016/09/15/knowledge-debt/

Shared Libraries: Understanding Dynamic Loading https://amir.rachum.com/blog/2016/09/17/shared-libraries/

The website has gone through a few incarnations; currently using Hugo, S3, and Cloudflare to host.

I like to write about productivity, Go/Rust, and my various web development projects. I also tend to write pretty frequently about programming language ergonomics.

Lately, I'm not as fast in writing new stuff as I wished, so.

Why is it awesome? Having a look at these things from a operational perspective is different from the pure theory. Also, why it obviously is a blog on my company website, sales leads and content marketing are at best a nice side effect. The main purpose is to give people ideas and maybe point them in the right direction.

Why should people read it? Because logistics are an integral, and as is shown now, critical part of our lives. Getting a better idea of how these things works and how people in the field work, can be a good thing.

Thanks a lot!

It’s been a passion project of mine for about five years, with the general idea of using the internet to find/surface obscure things that don’t get written about very often, with a goal of going against the grain of virality. I would say this dives into tech topics about half the time. (Last week I wrote a piece on the HP TouchPad.)

I keep a fairly regular posting schedule—twice a week, with syndicated pieces from The Conversation as well. Contributed writers are frequently featured with diverse focus areas—one guy is an expert at novelty music, for example.

The approach started as a newsletter, and is built with a newsletter schedule in mind. But it has the length and breadth of a well-researched blog.

Some samples if you’re curious:

HP TouchPad History: https://tedium.co/2020/03/31/hp-touchpad-history/

How Netflix turned Bill Clinton’s impeachment into a growth-hacking opportunity: https://tedium.co/2020/02/06/impeachment-growth-hacking/

An interview with one of the first newsletter authors: https://tedium.co/2020/01/02/this-is-true-randy-cassingham-i...

A history of the LAMP stack, and why it was so important: https://tedium.co/2019/10/01/lamp-stack-php-mysql-apache-his...

And here’s a mission statement, if it helps: https://tedium.co/what-is-tedium

My contribution...for the past year and a half I have tried to write a post every 2 weeks mostly related to permaculture & my experiments in going self-sufficient, keeping chickens & growing food.

I needed something in my life that wasn't maintaining legacy enterprise systems or being in front of a screen...check it out if you're into that kind of thing.

https://www.thegreendirectory.net/category/blog

I used to document projects, these days I talk about baking bread, open-source work, and the fun of raising a bilingual child.

It's a little random, it's not got a narrow focus. I suspect that means it is harder to be involved with, but the blogs I follow? They have real life, not just one theme. I like those best.

My elevator pitch: I'm curious about many different topics and have had some unconventional experiences, and I share them through writing. A reader would hopefully learn many interesting things along the way.

For example, my most recent post was a photo-essay showing what lockdown life is like in NYC, America's coronavirus epicenter: https://www.gautamnarula.com/new-york-in-the-time-of-coronav...

My most popular post (hundreds of thousands, perhaps even a million views) is a step-by-step guide to rapidly improving at chess: www.gautamnarula.com/how-to-get-good-at-chess-fast

Here's a preview from a book I wrote about my friendship with a well-known death row inmate: https://www.gautamnarula.com/remain-free-preview-ii-death-ro...

A surprisingly popular one was the post I wrote as a sophomore in college on creating a multiplayer Elo-based rating system. This post actually got me a great job several years later! www.gautamnarula.com/rating/

Another post about meeting a surfer who helped me rethink what was important to me: https://www.gautamnarula.com/what-javier-taught-me/

I think players who read HN might enjoy my blog. I have been somewhat disappointed with most of what I read on reddit or similar---I see a lot of what's out there as "the strategic equivalent of jQuery," if that makes sense, a lot of hacks that don't cohere well together.

I tend to appreciate the same things in strategy that I appreciate in code: simplicity, efficiency, cleanliness, conceptual clarity. Much of my blog is about "refactoring your thinking" to get closer to those ideals. Overall it has been immensely satisfying, and I've seen the same benefits you tend to see with well-refactored code---a sense of order and easy control. I can play Protoss in such a way as to "force" a vulnerability to DT's, I can take a micro tactic and tell you how (or whether) it changes things at scale, and I can pick a trope and "compile" it to strategy so that it will be effective in-game.

There's also a strong focus on Overwatch teamplay, drawing from system dynamics, control theory, and game theory.

Would always welcome readers! https://calmongames.wordpress.com/

I have worked in transport for over 5 years in software and have read most of the technical books in the internal London Underground library. I generally have read >50 technical books a year.

In my blog I collect and distill what I have learnt. I write about transport, software development and things I feel others should know.

One that I always thought would be interesting is looking at optimisation of the distribution of the Santander Cycle Hire bikes. These are redistributed to expected demand, but movements are costly in terms of people and vans. I spent a week with the team a few years ago and they had a fairly rudimentary modelling system that a university had put together, which involved mostly manual tweaking of routes. This would make for an interesting Kaggle or similar.

It's awesome because it has hit the front page a few times so it resonates with this audience [1][2]. I write about front end development, engineering management, and programming (in general). It's also ultra-fast and can work offline, so I practice what I preach on the blog and was fully designed and developed by me.

I also write a weekly, hand-curated newsletter that is specifically targeted at different skill and experience levels:

https://adamconrad.dev/newsletter/

Finally, and most ambitiously, I wrote a companion series to The Algorithm Design Manual to help me learn data structures and algorithms in JavaScript:

Experiences with Asperger's and trying to help other people understand

I write mostly about playful hacks that I have worked on. Many posts tend to have a researchy flavor.

Some of my favorites:

* Turning a MacBook into a touchscreen with $1 of hardware: https://www.anishathalye.com/2018/04/03/macbook-touchscreen/

* Doing graphic design with an SMT solver: https://www.anishathalye.com/2019/12/12/constraint-based-gra...

* Building a watch stand that automatically sets the time on my watch: https://www.anishathalye.com/2016/12/26/micro-wwvb/

(Love this idea for an Ask HN, by the way. Like other commenters, I wish HN had a way of filtering for blog posts written by HN users.)

It is a blog written by a fictional alien who is amazed by our evolution. Due to that, it is trying to help us understand the intrinsic motive of evolution and everything else. It is also talking about its own 'weird' evolutionary path for comparison.

I am trying to give an out-of-the-box view on what I have learned as a frequent reader and amateur thinker on these topics. However, I didn't attempt to write something like this before. It may have a lot of structural errors. Also, I am not a native speaker (which might suit the role-playing though)

It may end up gibberish at the end. But, it is OK. I have realized the beauty of accepting failure recently. https://osaatcioglu.netlify.com/posts/accepting-failure/

It's awesome because it got lots of comprehensive tutorials and covers lots of smaller niche topics in this area :)

Like many in tech, I made a blog when it was time for me to find a new job. And in typical fashion I paid for an overpriced .io domain instead of the equivalent .xyz or .dev. The blog only has one post and will probably only have one post for the foreseeable future (until I leave for my next job, I imagine).

I think there are parts of the above article that could use some work, but overall I'm actually quite happy with it. But, as you might expect, actually writing the blog post did not make a huge difference in my job search.

Given that my blog will only sporadically have content, the timing of that content corresponding to career moves, I would not recommend reading my blog since there won't really be much to read.

But hey, at least I've taken part in the time-honored tradition of the "oh shit I need to find a new job, better create a blog"-blog.

I've been documenting aggressive brand protection practices by various companies, and also general e-commerce commentary. Only have two posts so far but intend to continue along similar lines when I have more time. I've got a post planned explaining how one of the top 5 Amazon seller's primary business model is getting rid of other sellers and raising consumer prices. This kind of behavior is shockingly common across the industry.

Disclaimer: I do have an agenda and have been involved in some of the cases mentioned. I've also done extensive research, reading through hundreds of court cases, talking to many of the people involved in those cases, and am getting ready to publish further exposes. I'm not unbiased, but I am well researched. I did the research originally for my own legal case and felt it was interesting and important enough to start sharing.

A blog on physics, math, stats, optimization, ml, etc. Mostly a combination of my PhD research topics and thoughts that aren’t yet coherent enough to publish.

Posting this here as I’ve had several posts remain half-written in my drafts. Maybe this will get me to write some more...

> And why should I (and everyone else) read it?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've been blogging for about 20 years. Exactly what I write about has changed over that time (of course), but in recent times I've been writing about my PhD (applying purely-functional programming to distributed stream processing); cultural stuff I like, books, music, in particular Nintendo Switch games recently; free software stuff, particularly around Linux and Debian (I'm a Debian developer); note-taking and personal productivity; reading and archiving old media (minidiscs, ZIP drives, stacks of DVD-Rs, floppy disks); my fledgling adventures in 3D printing; retrocomputing and restoring my old Commodore Amiga; various classic Doom hacking projects I've worked on; running and maintaining a DIY free software NAS; computing history and preservation…

I wouldn't normally post in a thread like this but a friend put me up to it. Any feedback appreciated.

Currently my site is built on Jekyll, but I've been thinking about migrating to Ghost.

In 2017, I hiked the PCT from Mexico to Canada and kept a journal.

Being a software developer, I wanted an easy way to keep a blog up to date so I cobbled something together using Jekyll, Github Pages, and a custom built iPhone app.

The iPhone app would build out the general markdown structure for the post and allow me to easily choose and add photos. Then it would send the markdown file and the images to a git client I bought for the iPhone.

This let me blog offline in the wilderness, writing several posts at a time and when I got into a town with cell service or wifi, I just had to "git push" and my blog would be automatically published.

I've been considering building it into a "real" app for the last few years but haven't gotten around to it. Thinking about doing another long hike in the next year or two, so maybe by then I'll get around to it.

I don't think everyone should read it, because it's quite technical. There's articles on mathematics, game-theory, and computer science.

The highlight (in my opinion) is a series of articles on Fibonacci numbers, with relatively novel content: https://blog.paulhankin.net/fibonacci/, https://blog.paulhankin.net/fibonacci2/, https://blog.paulhankin.net/fibonacci_doubling/

The first two in particular, are quite fun I think, playing with short integer-only computation of the Fibonacci numbers (and also the n-acci numbers).

They are fun in the same way as TIS-100 is fun, and especially the last couple (generate primes, sort input) are interestingly difficult.

Mostly a small collection of posts about programming and personal finance. Also been running for around fifteen years.

Most popular post is about currency arbitrage, which seems to have had a small resurgence in interest as of late from various crypto folks: https://www.kelvinjiang.com/2010/10/currency-arbitrage-in-99...

Side note: not sure if it's just a funny coincidence, but it seems like a good number of folks here have been running their sites for around fifteen years. Perhaps the timing just happens to match the typical career arc of software professionals, or maybe it was due to the popularity of blogging fifteen years ago.

I've been writing a guide for everyone to be adequate at every normal human thing (https://adequate.life). It's a guidebook/list-set for everything. I'm about halfway done.

I'm also writing a summary of philosophy without the meanderings of thought ruminations (https://gainedin.site). It's an attempt to slice up reality into its knowable components. I'm about 10% done with it.

Updates at https://stucky.tech/now because my past experience with multiple blogfeeds made me lose hair.

I have been writing this blog for a bout a year now. About half of the articles I've written are about cryptography, the others are about software engineering and conferences I've attended.

A couple articles I'm proud of:

* The dangers of AES-CBC: https://alicegg.tech/2019/06/23/aes-cbc.html

* Low Tech Crypto - Solitaire: https://alicegg.tech/2020/01/03/solitaire.html

* BDD in Golang: https://alicegg.tech/2019/03/09/gobdd.html

Hopefully I’m not late to the party!

I write about ML, optimization & CS, and... well, whatever I want or find interesting. I have a public backlog of projects and blog posts too.

I started it because I kinda like writing, but also because when I do write (technical topics) I enjoy giving very clear, fully understandable explanations.

Not a fan of the “here’s concept A, it’s very straightforward... we’re now at concept Z which as you can see makes use of A” style of writing. I understand it’s need and use, you can't always explain everything, especially if the topic is already very niche and highly complex, or maybe you don’t have the space.

I find that it lets me learn more or jogs my memory on other subjects when I have to fully explain and try to teach things.

Also blogging is fun!

I wrote one blog post about regex for noobs which hit the HN frontpage: https://www.janmeppe.com/blog/regex-for-noobs/

My latest post is on a leetcode problem: https://www.janmeppe.com/blog/Leetcode-378/

I write mainly for my own learning... In all honesty I write a lot, but publish very little. I fear what others think of my writing, I know this is very much an irrational fear but I still feel it. I've been writing more and am trying to overcome this fear.

I mostly post about stats or programming topics. I only really try to put something up if it's a particularly hot take on a useful topic, like

* a reduction from causal to statistical inference https://vladfeinberg.com/2019/12/01/metaphysics-of-causality...

* an exploration of what the best way to listen to experts is https://vladfeinberg.com/2020/01/05/stop-anytime-multiplicat...

My main blog is just a journal of sorts. There are a handful of interesting posts, which you can find here:

https://benovermyer.com/post/my-breakfast-a-recipe-and-a-rit...

https://benovermyer.com/post/star-wars-galaxies-crafting/

The Iron Arachne blog is about procedurally generating content for tabletop role-playing games. You can find it here:

https://blog.ironarachne.com

and then there is a group blog of which I am a member

https://deadvoles.wordpress.com/

One writer is an anthropologist living in Japan who worked in the advertising industry for many years there; another is a liberal arts college professor and a farmer; a few others. All interesting people, with interesting thoughts, and lots of big questions.

I mean, the name's pretty good, I think, so you should at least read the name.

But I realized that a lot of things that I take as common sense in the realm of programming and entrepreneurship are actually hard-won knowledge that I've gained from being immersed in those subjects for a a couple decades. I started the blog last year focused mainly on the entrepreneurship side, specifically focused on trial-to-paid conversion, thinking I'd just write about that niche, but I've since broadened my subjects, since I know and care about a lot more than that, and I didn't want to limit myself.

http://www.andreykurenkov.com/writing/

Nowdays I largely write high-effort polished stuff about AI or life, with the occasional small fun thing thrown in.

Not sure if it counts, but I also run https://www.skynettoday.com/ which is a blog where many actual human beings with appropriate education/experience write polished articles to combat AI misinformation/hype in the media and more broadly get across what's going on with AI in an accessible way (yes I know the name is a bit ironic, we like it anyway as a bit of a joke).

I write about language learning (specifically Chinese). I've written some stuff about learning with Anki.

Had to put it on pause for a little bit but plan to pick it up again soon.

https://sidthinks.com

I am not very good at the English language, neither a good writer, but try to keep writing anyway.

Blog has been active in some form or other since 2004. 2000+ blog posts and 9+ million views thanks to Google.

I began this during the covid-19 pandemic, mainly as a means of keeping myself sane.

It's targeted towards engineering managers, currently writing out my "Foundational" stuff -- things I live by as an engineering manager, the blend of people / process, and how to connect those in humane ways, while also taking care of yourself

As you can tell, I don't have my pitch down yet ;) It's still early days (only three articles, with intention to get one out every ~9 days), but it's been nice to get thoughts on paper

I have only just start blogging. I wanted a detailed guide on various things to do with startups, marketing, sales, validation, etc, that covers in detail and takes into account context.

There are very few blogs that I like, most are SEO rubbish, but occasionally I come across something where I respect the time, insight and disposition to freely share knowledge. A place where I plant my flag as well.

So, only one proper article at the moment: https://startizer.com/guide-to-landing-pages-part-1-the-foun...

Cheers, Ace.

I started writing this when I started my PhD last summer. I write about my research on immunoinformatics, and topics in statistics, computer science that I find interesting.

My two latest posts are titled "Automatic differentiation from scratch" and "Limits of single-hidden-layer neural networks". RSS: https://e-dorigatti.github.io/feed.xml

Btw, can anybody suggest a good alternative to google analytics?

I've been running this on and off since 1997, and writing about anything that interests me. Mostl about various travels and open source projects I'm involved with. Lately a lot of data flow programming, sailing, and IoT (and in some cases all of those together).

I've collected what I consider my best posts into https://bergie.iki.fi/blog/category/bestof/

It's a blog about being a technical trainer. It's new, so there's only a few posts at the moment, but I have lots of notes for future posts. It covers training skills, course development skills, and managing instructors.

The blog is new, but I have been an instructor for nearly twenty years and wanted to share some things I have learned from being on the ground. It's a view that I have not seen in other blogs.

E-Learning is something that many companies will already have for their proprietary technologies. This can range from simple recorded videos to full-on courses with projects and assessments. It's early days, but I expect that there will be an increased demand if the COVID-19 restrictions continue.

I say that companies have it for their proprietary technologies, not general ones because they'll often buy general technology e-learning from someone like Pluralsight or O'Reilly.

For some topics, e-learning is fantastic, but if you want developers to learn deeply and quickly, then I think instructor-led is the best option. The blog is new, but that's an issue I touch on in: https://ignition-training.com/posts/elearning-wrong/. In the future, that may mean that we see more e-learning supported by remote instructors. This is hardly a new idea and is certainly under heavy testing with all of the homeschooling right now.

I don't yet have specific software recommendations. That's something I definitely need to be looking at - thanks for the nudge!

I read the source code of popular libraries and frameworks and write about what I find. It's very React and JavaScript focused because those are the tools I use daily in my current job.

My latest piece is a guest post I wrote on how the microtask queue works in JavaScript: https://careersjs.com/magazine/javascript-job-queue-microtas...

I'm a Redux maintainer, and primarily blog about React and Redux-related topics.

I'm particularly proud of my "Idiomatic Redux" series, where I've written multiple 6-10K word posts on the history and design of Redux, React-Redux, and Redux Toolkit:

https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/series/idiomatic-redux/

Topics I encountered in my daily development work, or if I couldn't find any solution on internet for that yet.

E.g. https://rmsol.de/2018/06/17/Emails-and-Appointments-with-Out...

I only post every couple of months or so, because every article takes me quite a while to write (as they are typically small side-projects) - everything that has code has a Github repo attached, so whatever I ramble about, you can try it yourself.

Long story short. I was 18... graduated high school and knew it all. I was going to get a good job, work my way up the ladder, get paid well, and live happily ever after with the girl of my dreams, wherever she was. Yeah... it didn't end up like that at all.

I hated my job. I wondered why I did it. For the paycheck. Until one day, after 3 years of service with the company, I asked my boss for a raise. He gave me a penny. That day changed my life. I decided to go to college. During my time at college, I studied while I was a security officer on his payroll. I did my job but now I was getting paid to educate myself.

Eventually, I'd move on from that job, work others, live in another country, live in another state, go to college in another state, volunteer in different parts of the world, etc. I had stories to tell about my life, and how all these situations, including the bad ones, helped improve my life, such as working for a tyrant boss -- who helped unleash a hidden talent I had for programming. I will forever not like the man, but what he taught me, helped me stay focused and start a business.

Anyways, I eventually became a web designer. I went to school for psychology, which is what I wanted to practice, but I had student loans and no one was hiring, so I applied across the boards of Craigslist, and got a hit for a programming job, hence working for the tyrant boss above, but I was still fascinated with this question: why are some people so passionate about work while others just do their jobs? So I sought to figure it out and even landed my dream job, though it came with a lot of stipulation... almost like selling your soul to the devil.

I couldn't pursue what I studied in college, which was a cross between social psych and IO psych... so I created the website, which keeps me connected to my passion and continues to improve my skills in web technology. The website has been a compliment to my life. If I had pursued my original goals, I wouldn't be making as much as I am making in my field right now. So I keep doing what I do because that pays the bill, but the site keeps me connected.

It is 7 years old... millions of visitors from all over the world, and many people understood its mission and have kept it going.. i opened it up for anyone to "confess" .. no way I could have written over 2500 articles, helped evolve it to what it is today.. which is a lot of information about what we're all doing at work, both professional and personal articles.

So the premise is: Tell me your story of what it is like to go to work as you, why you are there, why you keep going back, etc. I am fasinated with jobs and careers and how people make money. It has since evolved into much more, but that was the start.

Life happens... and you just go the direction you feel is the best for you. Sometimes you'll make mistakes and have regrets, but it's best you do something, then nothing at all. Live for today, hope for tomorrow, reflect on what you really want in your life.

Thanks! It took me a couple days but I just added them :).

I’ve started it recently and I’m writing about computational statistics and programming-related stuff. The idea is to write things that I would have liked to read about (I do computational stats, and also like web development).

So far I’ve written about a goodness of fit test for MCMC code, a D3 visualisation for the gypsy jazz scene around the world, and a classic “how to implement natural numbers from scratch” in OCaml.

I write about new age trends like ecstatic dance, psychedelics and more. I do my best to give a balanced view - talking about the origins and potential applications - and not just calling everything BS.

If you're a curious skeptic, you'd like my newsletter:

Thanks for starting this thread jppope!

Remember when you were first learning to code, and everything was really hard? Things didn't fit together, and understanding why one tutorial worked and another did not required reading at least 3 other tutorials?

Well, that's where I'm at with biology. I'm trying to track things that are interesting to me in order to maybe help someone else one day see the path that I walked from 0 to knowing how to do stuff.

DRM is often seen as some sort of dark art. A lot of this comes from the proprietary nature of it, with NDAs on every corner and technology licensing processes that require months of effort to get access to even the basic documentation.

Over the past decade, ever-increasing standardization in the media industry has opened up DRM to a great degree, though much remains in the proprietary domain for legacy reasons. Even though standardization has helped a great deal, it is hard to find human-readable information about DRM. ISO/IEC 23001-7:2016 does not make for easy bedtime reading!

I have worked in the field for 12 years and was recently motivated to share my knowledge and remove some of the unwarranted mystery from the field. I am currently writing up a new series of articles, to be published starting May, opening up the topic of DRM for a wider audience. You will find them at my website, though right now there are only a few old articles from ancient history there.

If you make solutions that aim to provide Hollywood grade content or just think this topic sounds interesting, this upcoming series might be a good introduction to the necessary content security universe for you. I might also post other digital media topics there from time to time.

Most of my articles aren't opinion pieces or tutorials - they're explorations of topics and events I found interesting. I'll work through my logic and steps to discovering something new, or reverse engineer something that someone smarter than I did.

https://blog.jldc.me/posts/illegal-streams?ref=about - Illegal streams, decrypting m3u8’s, and building a better stream experience - An article on exploring illegal sports streams online, building a client to watch them, and seeing how the streamers are piggybacking real services.

https://blog.jldc.me/posts/deobfuscating-amex-scammer?ref=ab... - Obfuscated javascript, scam emails, and American Express - An article on reversing and decompiling obfuscated javascript, tracking spam emails, and finding the root command and control server for a scam campaign.

https://blog.jldc.me/posts/ryan-air?ref=about - Ryanair, Hamiltonian Cycles, and using graph theory to find cheap flights - An article on how I routed my European vacation, writing an NP hard problem solver, and releasing a tool to help you do the same.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22822401 + https://www.dannysalzman.com/2020/04/08/analyzing-hn-readers...

I try to find important issues and simplify them to one good number. E.g., America's healthcare system costs us $4,000 more per person that other developed countries and we live 4 years shorter on average. (Okay, in that case, it was 2 numbers.)

Basically, I had a hard time pulling the important stuff out of politics. I started my own blog to help me ... and others too.

I write about data science. More specifically I'm interested in search, ux, and psychology.

I mainly do book reviews few times per month (some posts are bigger than others). And blog a little bit about music and a little bit about tech: https://j11g.com/category/tech/

The book reviews are mostly (public) notes to myself. The tech blogs are mostly aimed at a larger audience.

I write mostly about React, but you will find articles about JavaScript and Web Development in general.

It is a compilation of things that I use on a daily basis, so I think it is worthy for anyone who is interested in understanding what is relevant for modern front-end development.

I write accessible articles on technical subjects when I have some particular insight to share that I haven't seen written about before. That ends up meaning that I don't post very much, but I think the posts are very good when I do.

Here are some of my best posts.

Been running the blog for around a year now. Trying to write more frequently this year. I write about game development, development in general, DevOps, team issues, and other topics. I like to keep it varied. Depends what I'm learning at the time, or what I have an itch to write about.

Some of my more popular articles:

I write about self powered adventures, mostly in the Colorado mountains - many of which have never been repeated. Typing you from top of some hill right outside of Boulder, right now that I rode up to and then plunked down my quilt.

I'm also a backpacking guide, sponsored mountain runner, outdoor product tester,and guidebook author.

I do computer stuff sometimes, too. I like to keep busy.

It's largely focused on distributed systems and databases for now, but that's subject to change.

I have some deep dive posts like this: https://timilearning.com/posts/data-storage-on-disk/part-two... - where I write dig deeper into a particular topic, in this case: how databases work.

I also have posts like this one: https://timilearning.com/posts/ddia/part-two/chapter-9-2/, where I just share the notes I took while reading a book or watching a video. I've posted my notes from the first 9 chapters of 'Designing Data-Intensive Applications' by Martin Kleppmann there.

My goal is mainly to think more clearly about the things I learn by writing about them, and then share that knowledge with whoever finds the topics interesting.

I've had a blog since 1998, though my posting frequency has waxed and waned over the years. I use it as a partial résumé and also as outlet for my interests. Mainly, Software Engineering, Machine Learning, Data Science, Electronics, Robotics, Cooking, DIY, Cars, Travel.

Last year I had a falling out with my blog host, GoDaddy. They convinced me to upgrade up a level ($3xx). Though when their site transfer service didn't work they said they'd have to charge me another $150 to get the back-up. That's when I cancelled all of my accounts with them. I didn't like WordPress/PHP anyhow. In my haste to cancel GoDaddy, I forgot to export my content from WordPress. That's when I slowly starting writing my blog from scratch using Crystal, Kemal, and Bulma. Some of my content I was able to retrieve via scraping the Internet Archive, and some I was able to extract from Mars Edit by parsing the Content.plist files.

I'm very happy with the blog code and utilities I wrote, it was a fun exercise. Now I need to dedicate more time to writing...

I write about finance, technology and design. Recently, I wrote about my experience as an adjunct cyber teacher. So far, the topics have been fairly wide-ranging.

Writing this blog, if nothing else, helps me organize my thoughts on certain topics. It's cool to go back and track the evolution of your writing too.

Ongoing topics are working with people, technology, and vendors through the process of shipping products via distributed teams @ start ups and global enterprises.

The blog is 12 years old. There are gems as well as gaps, gaffes, and shoemakers’ children.

https://meanbusiness.com/category/games/ https://meanbusiness.com/category/cannabis/ https://meanbusiness.com/category/teams/ https://meanbusiness.com/category/analytics/

I aim to produce high-quality, mostly long-form and tutorial-style technical blog posts on topics that interest me, e.g.:

- the space between hardware/software: physical OS switcher

- Robotics: ROS2 & Kerbal Space Program

- PCI-passthrough/VFIO/VT-d: notes from challenges I ran into

- Networking: WPA2 Enterprise at home

- home-assistant related stuff: coming soon :)

[edit: formatting]

It's a bit sparse but I try to post the more interesting things I'm learning about tech, business, psychology, and self improvement.

About me: I'm a software engineer and I've spent over a decade working at Google and Microsoft, mostly building their clouds. Now I'm engineering at Stripe

You probably _shouldn't_ read my blog.

It's small, has low traffic, and I am the primary beneficiary of my writing. That said, I've been writing regularly for eight years now, and it's an _awesome_ progress-tracking tool for me.

It's seen me through a few career changes (most recently into software development) and I use it all the time to share ideas with people. If I share an idea with people 3x, I'll write a blog post and share the link next time.

If you're new to software development, you should follow my blog.

If you're wanting to _get into_ software development, you should start here: https://josh.works/turing-backend-prep-01-intro

I've got a bunch of stuff coming soon about leveling up your skills as person who just got into your first ruby/rails development job, and feels like they're not learning things very quickly.

So, if that's your cup of tea, please follow!

I write about a lot of different things, often technical, sometimes not. Common subjects include technical tutorials and rants, reviews of books and games, and thoughts about different aspects of internet culture.

These are my three most popular posts:

How to set up GPU passthrough on Linux: https://davidyat.es/2016/09/08/gpu-passthrough/

Why RSS is better than its modern replacements: https://davidyat.es/2017/05/18/rss-nothing-better/

How to create a dual-headed personal wiki with Vimwiki and Gollum: https://davidyat.es/2017/09/01/vimwiki-plus-gollum/

It's my Spanish blog about Prolog, Rust and Python mainly. I thought about opening a new one in English, to reach a more broad audience, but I will not write in two blogs at the same time and the Spanish blog maybe has more relevance due to the lack of blogs like mine in Spanish.

It's mostly about what I learned as a CS student during that time. And somewhat more personal entries here and there. Personal favorites: https://thebigg-v3.tumblr.com/post/187168118243/ai-thoughts-... https://thebigg-v3.tumblr.com/post/143220291428/i-created-a-... https://thebigg-v3.tumblr.com/post/125386254048/enums-a-bool...

I've also got some other stuff there like a class I taught, some writing on distributed systems, etc

I mainly write about things that are on my mind or stuff that I struggle with.

* People Who Are Obsessed With Success and Prestige - https://www.bennettnotes.com/post/obsessed-with-success-and-...

* I Can't Do Anything for Fun Anymore; Every Hobby Is an Attempt to Make Money - https://www.bennettnotes.com/post/making-money-out-of-every-...

* Where Are All the Fun Software Engineer Jobs? - https://www.bennettnotes.com/post/where-are-all-the-exciting...

Where are all the github.io blogs, or am I in a minority for deciding to go with a simple github.io?

Granted my blog's pretty small and I may change my mind as it slowly grows bigger.

It's mainly for documenting dev experiences/projects, so if that's your jam, go ahead!

The top 3 most frequent recent topics are about programming, board games and some personal things.

My most popular posts are:

* writing neural networks with just Numpy: https://rolisz.ro/2013/04/18/neural-networks-in-python/

* making a selfie time lapse: https://rolisz.ro/2016/08/01/how-to-make-a-selfie-time-lapse...

* writing a web crawler in Rust: https://rolisz.ro/2020/03/01/web-crawler-in-rust/

And my second blog is more focused on Web Development tutorials (mainly PHP/Laravel and JS/VueJS). I'm hoping to write a course on Laravel that starts at developing an app using traditional methods and then converting it to an API consumed via a frontend language (starting with Vue and then possibly moving over to React). All with TDD in mind so you can see how that works and how it'll change as the app changes. - https://michaelbrooks.dev

It's been active for 18 years, I was 16 when I started it and now I'm trying to write three or four times a week about several topics, mostly what comes to mind at the moment.

I believe I’m victim to whatever is the opposite of a niche effect. My posts tend to be deeply technical but span hardware, software, security, .NET, rust, C++, Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and more so I never really got the opportunity to pick up readers in one, single niche or domain.

I miss the old days.

I have been exploring and experimenting in both tech and consciousness/paranormal since the mid 1970s. Now I feel this desire to share what I stumble upon and am learning along the way.

The tech blog is

https://nullspin.com

This blog is getting restarted. My vision is to explore share about whatever I find fun or interesting in and about tech. I also have an article about Emacs startup times which got some HN attention a few years back though it was under a different domain name at the time.

My occult/paranormal blog is

https://mysticgrail.com

The twin flame/soul mate and energy connection articles have enjoyed some readership.

My goal now is to not change domain names ever again. Oh and post once a week at least.

Y otro más centrado en tecnología y educación https://alvarmaciel.gitlab.io/cyberiada

Its old school, 20 year old custom blog. Theres lots to see. It has history unlike most modern web stuff. Pictures of food, controversial tech articles, metaphysical poetry, and small island life. Come to think of it I need a new camera.

Probably only worth it for reading specific posts such as how I'm using vim as an IDE [1], how database schemas and event sourcing are a great pair [2], or just my 'du-jour' weekend projects that end up in Show HN. I find having a blog invaluable for note-taking, personal growth and honing my writing skills; that's why there's no data tracking or comments built-in for now. But feel free to reach out, any advice will be appreciated!

Latest posts:

* ranting about bunq bank price hike / tracking

* who wants to be hired tips

* Apple privacy and advertising ID (posting it on HN got me downvoted a couple of times but I don’t know why)

* the cup of coffee pricing fallacy (which was reasonably popular on HN)

I share practical tips about ML. I focus specifically on things that will make it easier to ship ML applications. As much as possible, I include code.

I've paused writing for a bit while I wrote my book (https://mlpowered.com/book/) but now am planning to pick back up.

I have a newsletter at the bottom of each page and an RSS feed you can subscribe to to receive new posts.

It's my blog and I write whatever comes to mind at the time in my home-built static site generator.

I try to make my blog an example of what I think the web should be more like. I even wrote a manifesto.

https://sheep.horse/2016/6/a_website_manifesto_-_introducing...

Sometimes its just photos to show my family on the other side of the world. Sometimes brief rants on programming and technical issues or a demo of my latest side project.

Hackernews readers just browsing around might want to start with the computing tag:

https://sheep.horse/tagcloud.html#computing

Tech entries (mostly howtos to myself) on *nix finds; photos (places, landscapes, etc); random mutterings and thoughts when they really want to come out of me.

Though the domain has changed, my site has been my online home for over 20 years now.

No reason to read it, I post quite rarely and just about any (usually technical) things that come to my mind. Most people find it from a search engine when searching for help with different things. My most viewed blog post is about a version incompatibility between PuTTY and OpenSSH. :) I do have a couple of longer post ideas hanging around the back of my mind, but there's just so much else to do in life. The eternal struggle.

Currently I'm writing... the blog engine, again. I'm moving it to a new server and decided I'd bump the deps and freshen up the technical side of the frontend. It's made with Elixir and the Raxx framework, but it's not an example of clean code practises, more like a testing ground.

I write about algorithms.

You might like it if you like algorithmic puzzles. Some of the puzzles are actually in leetcode, but the solutions in the blog are through the viewpoint of a theoretical cs researcher.

I write about personal finance. There are 3 things that make your money more productive: information, tools, and time. I can't give you more time but I write about hidden insights and make tools that help you make smarter investment decisions.

Some recent posts that are relevant to this new COVID19 world:

What did we learn from the 2008 Great Recession https://shan.io/writing/learnings-from-the-2008-great-recess...

How bad can this recession get? https://finance.shan.io/recessions-bear-markets-compared/

Nearly 15 years of writing about most aspects of software development. Not really awesome, but it is my attempt to make some sense out of 30 years of software development.

Why should you read it? Several reasons. The first is that this is where I write things that I'm passionate about! If you have ever been interested in ham radio, electronics or just in general geekiest saying there's a good chance that I've written about it. I document my projects well and don't assume knowledge when I explain things. I also own my failures and explain them in full. Lastly, I make a point to smash through the myths, mysteries and flat out misinformation regarding whatever I'm writing about. I show how normal people can do whatever they set their minds to!

Disclaimer: this comment written at the end of a very long day on very little sleep. My blog is better than that. Usually.

I write about computers, making music, books, and the great outdoors.

I'm a computer scientist in Mauritius, an island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. For the past three years, I've been working as an adviser in Government. Before that, I ran my training and consulting company. And, prior to that, I was a professor at the largest university of the country.

On my blog, I write about how Mauritius can become a smart island with smart people by leveraging technology and innovation.

My blog dates from 2010 but I've been blogging on my family blog https://www.noulakaz.net/ since 2004. This blog is more eclectic. I write about my family, sports, TV shows and movies, etc.

Blogging out of Nairobi on software development and in particular C#, F#, Powershell and databases. One of the best ways to learn something well is to write about it.

I write about web development, tech careers, and a bit about my personal life. Lots of JavaScript, React, Next.js, and UI/UX related topics.

Fun tech facts on my site. It's a hybrid Next.js app implementing the JAMstack. Static pages are served from the cache and APIs add additional functionality after the page has loaded (view counts, newsletter subscription). The best example of this is my "personal dashboard". It uses Next.js API routes to fetch data from a variety of sources (Google Analytics, Unsplash, GitHub, etc) while still serving a static shell -> https://leerob.io/dashboard

I started writing about engineering, code, electronics, audio mostly. The idea of my blog is to help other people build their ideas (Hence the name). It started out as a blog to help newcomers to build popular ideas (such as E-Commerce or a simple), but has evolved into documenting some of my journeys with engineering in general. Such as this one:

https://medium.com/build-ideas/in-pursuit-of-a-lost-childhoo...

Although I'm on Medium, I'm looking to port it to my own custom blog soon.

Contains a couple of travelogues so far. Probably the best piece is on Iceland, it may be useful to you if you plan on camping there in winter: https://dimitarmisev.com/blog/iceland

It's rss-compliant in case you want to subscribe, and has no analytics tracking nonsense. Posting frequency has been extremely low so far, however. Even though the end result is usually rewarding, producing posts has been seriously time consuming. But I'm thinking every now and then to restart it.

Note: it doesn't show very well on screens wider than 1920 pixels, I just noticed.

Why I'd like to see others reading it? Because I spend a lot of time working on modernizng PHP. I watch PHP code changes, test things, contribute, etc, and write about them. If you have any PHP applications that you want to keep up, I hope that site helps to figure out what's new and changing.

Also a travel blog but that is not quite relevant to HN :)

And https://capiche.com/e is my work blog—focused on software pricing, starting with this software inflation rate article: https://capiche.com/e/software-inflation-rate

Started this up about six months ago. I write about general topics, mostly software engineering and infosec. Kind of serves as a live journal as well (which probably doesn't help job prospects much).

Low traffic, seem to only get traffic from the monthly hiring threads here on HN and occasionally twitter. It's fun for me, though. Helps document ideas and helps a couple junior dev friends I mentor grasp concepts that otherwise take a while to wrap one's mind around. Might be of interest to other software devs looking into pivoting to appsec or security engineering as I'm documenting my journey towards the OSCP later this year.

I also have a '10 Minute Guide' book series -- the most recent one being '10 Minute Guide to Mental Fitness'.

In particular I write posts about setting up your own servers (one about hosting your website from your Raspberry Pi at home and WireGuard is coming up) and about handling massive loads as well as interesting AI topics such as how Transformers work or new and exciting AI papers.

You can check it out here: https://sdan.io/blog and subscribe for infrequent emails here: https://sdan.io/subscribe.

We're heads of product and engineering at our company (a rapidly growing enterprise SaaS company with hundreds of employees). We're writing a guide to scaling enterprise SaaS product and engineering teams from our experience as ICs, eng managers, and now product/engineering execs.

Overall we feel that we have interesting perspectives to offer having played virtually every role that one finds on a growing tech team. There also hasn't been enough written about SaaS, as much of the literature on best practices for building a company comes from the large consumer tech giants (FAANG, Uber, Lyft, etc...).

We actually just launched this week!

You may find my blog interesting if you like a mix of [*nix][1] and a variety CS topics, from the [Actor Model][2] to [Linear Transformations][3].

If you think you'd enjoy long-form, deeply researched essays that look at the development of technical ideas throughout the history of computing, I've got you covered.

Me and one of my good friends writing on mainly programming related stuff. Why should you read it? I don't know yet but I can assure you I'm in it for the long haul.

>(but who cares how many, like I don’t need to see your tweet telling everyone you read 100 books.)

shortly after I saw this line for one of the other blogs:

> I generally have read >50 technical books a year.

I expand on this idea more here: https://fromtoschool.com/why-most-programming-tutorials-are-...

A year ago I kicked off my engineering blog which I abandoned in 2 months :D

To be honest, I write either about my engineering struggle, however I'll switch back to indie making in the next months, so feel free to send me a note if any topic resonates with you

It's good to have it around in case I want to share knowledge and ideas

Medium ref: https://medium.com/@tarasmatsyk

It's a repository for my book notes (business, self-improvement, economics and other topics). I also post short pieces about things I'm learning. Fridays I post a weekly roundup of interesting articles and podcasts I listened to.

Most popular post are my notes on BJ Fogg's Tiny Habits: https://mentalpivot.com/book-notes-tiny-habits-by-bj-fogg/

Started the blog last year in an effort to develop the habit more than anything. Trying to get better every week just out of sheer repetition and practice.

The collaborative technology can also easily be added to any website or blog, too!

I'll soon be adding search, a public feed like Twitter for discovery, and a way to extract and use highlights across articles. Check it out and let me know what you think.

If you've ever asked yourself questions like; "how many planes are in the sky at one time?", this blog is for you.

By reading this you can quickly consume useful / actionable information that takes many hours of scanning newspapers, magazines etc each day to source and compile.

At present this covers the following subjects: business, personal / professional development, wellbeing, science & technology, and behavioural science.

Recent posts include: Multi-tasking is better thought of as task-switching, How to reduce the influence of cognitive biases within interviews, Beyond the 'innovator's dilemma'

I write for one of the main segments of the HN audience: The INTJ personality type.

If you...

- Tend to focus on contingency planning and anticipating future moves / events

- See yourself as a strategist

- Have something of a critic's mindset

- Tend to Google for, save, or bookmark the next knowledge nugget, software package, or life hack

- Benefit from studying anti-patterns, sometimes more than studying patterns

- Are open to learning and experimental flexibility in the name of discovering a world of new hacks and perspectives...

...Then it might be worth your time. I'm on a bit of a blog break due to COVID-19 efforts at work but it's been pretty consistently active for years now.

No particular reason, but I started building websites in the late 90s and am now heading up the engineering department in our scale-up (60+ people w/ 25+ engineers).

Over the past several months/years, I've usually gone around in my life with a notebook on my person. Some of these notes/lingering ideas seem like things about which I should go write essays.

I've got three posts live at the moment, all of which have something to do with my (generally leftist) takes on the far right--though I might be coming at things a little bit more sideways than that implies. I've got some ideas for both more-of-that and not-that. You should read it because I'm digging into cultural issues (and probably other things) via some ideas you may not have seen before.

It's not for everyone and certainly for not of most of the HN crowd. It's about a web of concepts that is akin to philosophy but has slightly different goals and expectations of itself. It's very self-referential and has built over time a lot of shorthand jargon a.k.a. technical terminology. Takes a while to get into. But I believe it's a fresh way of looking at the ways of looking at contemporary society and events. You'll like it if you're keen of "continental philosophy" albeit it doesn't often cite the standard authors.

Rather than link to my index, here's a post that I wrote about Defeating Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior (At Scale):

https://medium.com/@soatok/defeating-coordinated-inauthentic...

If you enjoyed that one, you'll probably enjoy my writing. If you didn't, you probably won't.

I might move my efforts to something self-hosted soon, but I'm more likely to be targeted by malicious script kiddies (due to being openly gay and a furry), and that thought has instilled a lot of inertia with me.

Edit: typo

I'm really just getting started, but I read widely and have a lot of random interests. Most of my stuff touches on tech but focuses on thoughts about mathematics, life, literature, philosophy, and ethics.

I'm starting a company, and the blog for that is https://blog.yakware.com/ ; it is less human being-esque, but I want it to focus more on the tech and entrepreneur space, without being robotic marketing material...:

Planning on making both of those more regular in the near future, and both have RSS feeds.

Edit: Works fine now

Relatively young blog of mine. Every once in a while I try to write detailed articles about technical things I am currently interested in.

I wrote a 6 part series about porting a Unikernel to Xen: https://janma.tk/2018-11-11/os-xen-001/

More recently I started to take a deep dive into running containers with systemd-nspawn: https://janma.tk/2019-10-13/systemd-nspawn/

'A set of links celebrating mortality'

My curated list of things that are in my opinion worthwhile. Also I aim to provide starting points for meandering the web

There's posts on Flask, Docker, Bash, Elixir, tweaking your development environment, running a freelance business, etc.. Lots of videos too, because for the last year or so I've been trying to grow a Youtube channel.

It basically covers everything I've learned or am currently learning that's related to tech. I also don't run ads on my site or have annoying newsletter popups.

https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/

The blog has a series on how to typeset Markdown documents into beautiful PDFs.

Along the way, there's deep discussion about why separating content from presentation is a great goal, how to implement CI/CD using a simple user-friendly bash script, a walk-through on leveraging externally sourced interpolated variables within Markdown documents, a way to typeset mathematics, and an introduction to injecting results from R code into documents.

Part 8 (coming soon) applies many of these concepts to reproduce classic novels in various thematic styles.

If you’re in tech and in your early 20s we might have a lot of things in common

If you don’t belong to this group, you can get a rough idea of how people in my age group think

Not much content or traffic.

I write about computer science, philosophy and their intersections. My posts are geared towards people with an interest in both CS and philosophy. You can find stuff ranging from typical CS/ML topics like how to build a melanoma classifier, to what the implications of cellular automata are for free will. I don't write super frequently, but I put a lot of effort into my posts.

I also chat with readers pretty often, so if you generally just want to have a discussion about these topics, I'm a good person to reach out to :)

It's a blast.

Given that we had to relocate to Mexico due to coronavirus, my wife and I recently made the difficult decision to officially pull our 12-year old son out of the international school he was attending in China and start him un/home-schooling him. I'm writing a blog about the decision and its results on a somewhat realtime and extremely open and honest basis. Might be useful for some of you thinking about doing the same with your own kids.

I write mostly about software and web development but I also share tips and my thoughts on other topics. I've been writing since 2017.

Most popular:

But I don't think they are the best, rather needed.

My Favorite Quotes https://www.pieterboerboom.nl/quotes/

Love reading others in this thread! Personal blogs are fascinating.

I also build/write about small side-projects. Here are a few of them:

- Running pace calculator written in Vue.js https://renatello.com/running-pace-calculator/

- Tailwind UI components ported to Bootstrap 4 (wip) https://renatello.com/components/heroes/

Some tech, some culture, some of my life, whatever was interesting to me that day or few days. Have some favorites/highlights on that front page.

I cover running businesses (successfully and unsuccessfully), software design, science experiments, and just getting through life :) (Cuz it ain't easy for anyone)

(I've also written a ton about these topics over the years at http://ninjasandrobots.com and http://medium.com/@natekontny)

just a site to share some of the learnings along the way. It is crucial not just to gather information merely to get the job done. At times, with a little more introspection, you can get a whole lot more out from your day to day tasks. These little essences you get out of the day to day challenges you face as individuals, in my case a software engineer, allows you to see things from a whole of a different perspective.

Hope my blog encourages you all to embrace learning a little bit more (:

Would love some feedback on it as well. Thanks all!

The awesomeness factor isn't really there yet I think, I'll see if I can fit that in there sometime :)

You should read it if you like occasional stories from a gamedev/sysadmin/entrepeneur I suppose?

I mostly write it for myself and try to cater it to atleast someone that would find it interesting.

I write about personal experiences in tech and try never to generalize.

When I launched Mute.vc on HN https://meagher.co/mute-vc/

Incrementally Building A Blog https://meagher.co/incremental-blog/

Thoughts on Building Paid Software https://meagher.co/paid-software/

I write about all the stuff I encounter and where I would need more characters than would fit in a tweet.

Main topics are technical stuff, obscure things, and witty comments on design.

In a sense I'm scratching my own itch. Take this article as an example, where I blog about something I had real trouble to find any information on at all:

https://lucasbecker.de/posts/de-aspect-your-digital-negative...

Some technical writing, some philosophizing over work and life in general.

Also doing some good old photo-blogging every once in a while as I find Instagram and the like too shallow. And always loved the original photo-blogs with beautiful pictures and a bit of text to get the context across.

I have two health care start-ups under my belt and currently work as independent freelance Tech Lead. Hopefully my writing can in some cases spawn reflection and plant seeds for further examination.

The aims of my setup are:

The aims of this project are to:

1. Run all major OS kernel families (BSD, Linux, Unix, Windows) 2. Backup all my machines 3. Provide secure, up-to-date, performant, reasonably private networking and computing functionality in my house

If you're interested in how a truly, hyperdiverse mixed environment can be scalably be managed, check it out :)

I would be happy if i have more time, still planning. Anyway, sometimes i did not find specific answer or SO or i need to google more something, so adding that type of content would be nice. Also, i have experience with various tech - storage engines, messaging and so on, even solid knowledge of frontend and it would be good for me to take a recap, learn something new beside my casual job.

I don't know why you should read it, but I read it to find postcards from my past self, including problems that stymied me, books that affected me and technologies I no longer use.

If you are a new or potential developer, you might be interested in my blog focused on that topic. I give advice and hope to help new developers avoid my mistakes:

https://letterstoanewdeveloper.com/

I've been writing about PureScript - primarily with Halogen.

You should read it because I think the world would be a better place if more people used PureScript! :-) My (highly opinionated) theory is that although the learning curve is steeper, once it clicks it is so much less stressful and more enjoyable to use PureScript over Javascript or Typescript. More robust pages are a result. This blog is the start of my attempts to help people over that initial hump.

Started blogging over 10 years ago on WordPress, about 4 years ago I switched to pelican a static site generator.

I launched Remarkbox (https://www.remarkbox.com) so that I could continue to have conversation with my readers, and so can you.

Professional communication in IT is my thing and it's particularly important now, during the pandemic / social distancing / remote work turmoil. Here is one good article to start, it covers the communication topic top-down:

I was going through depression and writing was the only way that helped me calm down. It really helped. It helped a lot. And whenever I feel like writing about certain topics (maybe philosophy, maybe life, maybe habits?), I jolt them down in my journal. Eventually, post them to my personal blog. Not sure if this is something anyone can find interesting to read about. There are poems, ranting, quotidian events.

Lateral thinking and logic puzzles.

What is my blog ?

Name of my blog is Techno Paradigms (https://gansai.blogspot.com)

Why should I read it?

I share what I learn. ( Very rarely, I have written my perspectives on software paradigms - like how things are evolving etc -- but I like to write more on this )

I try to focus on few topics like: Java, Cloud, Architecture etc.

Why is it awesome?

I am not sure whether my blog is awesome.

I guess people interested in backend & distributed systems can visit my blog.

( Nowadays I am trying to appreciate role of products like: Kafka, Debezium, Hazelcast etc )

(Probably I wrote more than a short intro )

I write mostly about JavaScript, Node and other stuff I have learned along the way.

Here are some posts: Effective Remote Communication: https://blog.agney.dev/effective-meetings/ Picture-in-Picture Countdown timer website: https://blog.agney.dev/pomodoro-on-pip/

It's a young blog, but I've received pretty positive feedback on what I've written so far. For a recent post, try Instinctual Politics: https://jesseevers.com/instinctual-politics/

Mt Solitary is an indie weblog. Periodic updates to this site consist of the author’s thoughts on many subjects, including philosophy, meditation, mathematics, travel, photography, technology, politics, and the simple bliss of being alive.

Every so often, a new “issue” of Mt. Solitary is posted to the site, featuring a photograph, some thoughts on a topic or two that’ve been bouncing around my head, and short lists of things I’ve been reading, watching and listening to lately.

I like quality content and hence aim to provide what I am looking for. When publishing, I want to teach the subject. The few posts I aim to publish per year do need to include everything from theory to source-code, accompanied by working proof-of-concepts. The internet is full of content, I want mine to be worth its place. Last but not least, it has to be innovative; no need to reinvent the wheel one more time.

It shares proven email templates to get clients, ask for referrals, etc.

Yes there are a lot of templates out there, but 95% of them sound template-y and could probably pass a reverse Turing test.

I find the key to what makes an email work is both in the ask and how you say it (sounding human sounds like it should be second-nature, until we find ourselves typing into that box with a goal to convince someone or sell something).

I write at https://www.jjude.com as a way of learning. Writing is part of thinking out loud for me. This year I'm learning about customer experience, business of technology and technology of business. I'm also planning to launch my coaching program. All of those find their place in the blog.

I'm working as a data scientist at a Fintech company in south Asia. I primarily write about Python, its quirks and how you can use those in your own favor. Like how you can use `contextmanager` decorator to decouple your logging and exception handler logics from your core logic, turning functions into generics with `singledispatch` etc.

I've left 2 comments tonight so I am bending the rules a bit (whiskey + quarantine keeping me out of Tesla production).

And no, you should not read it if you're a professional developer. The point of this blog is to give info that any professional would think is patently obvious, but also not common knowledge for CS students.

I spent my first few years complaining about the mediocrity of my school's CS majors. I'm hoping that by writing these posts at least one or two people can be more prepared for real world software development.

Lessons from building software over 30 years including 10 running engineering teams at Google

I'm not sure how awesome it is, but I like to write about a particular problem that I came across and solved recently or an experiment that I tried, like writing a Vue app using a Python-to-JavaScript transpiler. I mostly write about Python and Vue, sometimes veering into CSS, Markdown, and TypeScript. Instead of just giving the solution, I try to walk through the problem and give background and bad jokes along the way.

I'm experimenting with new ways to display code in time.

See: https://pomb.us/build-your-own-react/

There's a new post coming out this week. Sneak peek: https://twitter.com/pomber/status/1246080226779631618

It's a blog primarily about historical landmarks that we encountered on our travels in and around Europe over the last few years.

May be interesting to people who like to know every little detail about the history of places & events like Versailles, Culloden, Oktoberfest, etc.

My partner Leah has a few years worth of material still planned out and she spends about 4-8 hours a day writing. A new post is published every week or two.

It has a few good pieces about transitioning from corporate dev to freelance/consulting, as well as Clojure.

I’ve heard other people have read it to learn more about Clojure, and to help guide them away from corporate dread. Importantly, I have my contact information there and in my HN bio and I’m always down to talk to people from the internet!

It lacks the 10,000 word, fun war stories from more veteran engineers, sadly.

I'm still working on developing a habit of writing regularly. I love it when I find a personal blog post that perfectly solves a problem that I have (especially when that blog post is essentially the only resource for a very specific problem) or explains a concept better than anything else. So I'm trying to do the same for others for things that I know about.

More people should share what they know.

A new blog trying to collapse serendipity.

As a curious person and aspiring astronaut, I write about everything that catches my eye. From the etymology of the word batteries to a post I'm working on where I'm interviewing astronauts to get their perspective on a moment on spaceflight history. But that is to come.

Most posts will be different/unique from one another. Few will be repeats. It will go where my nose follows.

You should read my series on writing fight scenes (from the perspective of a fight director) ... if you have any interest in that sort of thing. The rest of my blog is hit or miss, no pun intended. Mostly stuff about the writing process in general and mine in particular.

I simply write about anything I find interesting, and want to learn more about. Topics are mostly from computer science.

I try to refrain from 'Intro to x', or 'X 101' types of articles as much as I can, instead focusing on other aspects. It can be the historical background behind a certain topic, its implications, or a more higher-level treatment.

Most of my older posts are dumb and I will probably remove them from the site.

I have one article in particular that people seemed to like:

https://afnan.io/posts/introducing-oars/

It's about my experiences writing a Rust library to generate and verity orthogonal arrays, that I used as part of a graphics paper that got published at EGSR.

I hesitated to respond because it's not exactly awesome. But for anyone interested in what's happening in the Portland, Oregon, startup community, it's +12 years of content in that regard. Written mostly by me. Who happens to be a human on a regular basis. A human with bad grammar.

Also, people so rarely ask about blogs anymore that I was compelled to respond. So thank you.

It's only a month old, so no big backlog to roam through. I don't think it's awesome yet, I don't want to have peaked at two posts, but I'm trying to give it all on every single thing I write.

I'm going to write about teams, software, and how to get the first to the best of the second. Or not, I'm just trying to see where this takes me.

Definitely a human being though.

Just this March during quarantine made this site and it's still in progress. Doesn't have much contents yet just a couple of post about how I made this site.

I have gone through most of the sites in the comment, almost all are awesome. One of the most important thing for me to make a site is to learn to write. I do write mostly in points, they are not big.

I made this site using GatsbyJs

Main topics are web development in general, Docker, PHP and other tech stuff. I do not post regularly but try to write a new article every now and then.

Most of the articles are about very specific problems, like mirroring private repositories to Gitea or how to setup DNSsec with Cloudflare and INWX. Currently writing a guide on how to install YouTrack on Synology Diskstations.

It's not awesome, but some people have found useful and occasionally entertaining information about maths, programming, and business. There is no single compelling reason to read it.

And I'm working on the formatting. Constructive comments and suggestions welcome, simply telling me it's crap does not provide useful information or value. Thanks.

You probably shouldn't read it. It is a mixture of posts about my life and my simulation projects.

Recently I've been focusing more on git, web development and web accessibility.

https://dashboard.darekkay.com/docs/blog/

For the last year, I've been developing a dashboard wep app as a side project and I'm blogging about the process from the beginning (approx. once a month).

Ridiculously infrequent (but there's RSS of course, so who cares). Random postings about stuff that interests me (software, theoretical computer science and research, language).

The blog is purely static with no Javascript or cookies or ads or analytics of any kind.

Why you should read it: I don't know, I'm not really looking for an audience :) but I do think I qualify as an actual human being

The only reason to read this is if you are interested in technical details of a 35 year old 8-bit computer.

I write about stuff you would find very boring. Do not read it.

Mostly quiescent at this point, and mostly about politics and religion and other non-technical matters.

But since its been going for 17! years, there's enough thoughts on Lisp to interest hacker types http://omniorthogonal.blogspot.com/search?q=lisp

I'm a progressive organizer/activist locally, an inventor, built/exited an eCommerce start-up, and very passionate about the future of society. I mainly publish on medium and have been a featured writer in categories like economics, future, work, and more.

The central theme of my writing is diving deep into the how and why behind structural reform in the U.S. and around the world.

After a new post I publish the same post to Medium, as the possibility of attracting new readers there is greater, but there's often a time lag there as you wait for a publication to pick it up or not.

It's partly a blog, partly a wiki about programming. I try to combine those two parts with the wiki part being (somehow timeless) definitions and the blog part covering the current trends while referencing those definitions.

I aim for concise, matter-of-fact, no fluff writing.

The website is on GitHub, so that potential mistakes could be easily fixed with pull requests.

https://medium.com/chrismarshallny (Features a selection of the above).

I write about developing software, as a craft, and writing Swift, in particular.

I’m fairly good at it. I’ve been writing since I was a kid, and delivering software for more than 35 years.

Right now, there are two articles. One is about exploring what keeps us, developers, excited and what kills it. The other one looks into how bugs should be handled and its relation to company culture.

The next one is about how to be nice but also apply candor during code reviews so that everyone wins. It’s on its way!

I mostly write about iOS and web programming.

It's mostly static using a custom generator with some dynamic parts to support leaving comments with ActivityPub, which is explained in more detail here: https://shadowfacts.net/2019/reincarnation/

Will help you to get better at life, programming, leadership, and productivity.

I like to write deep, long posts when I can. I hope to be relatively thoughtful when I approach search topics, and honesty have a hard time not getting into the nooks and crannies of every topic to get a holistic POV

http://o19s.com/doug

Sharing knowledge is fun for me, so I think you'd learn a thing or two from each post. At least that's the idea!

Also supports RSS so you can subscribe.

https://blog.winricklabs.com/(02-17-2020)---efficient-data-s...

As to why you should read it? I have always tried to show warts and all when it comes to anything technical I post. This includes where I screw up, make mistakes or work with false information. Mostly because I keep a record as I do things and don’t want to sanitise what I did and also because most posts paint a perfect picture which is usually far from reality.

Old blog. Initially started with evolution, life, evolutionary psychology, mysteries of life...then it has slowly inched into cosmology and mathematics...

Ask yourself questions like "Why sleep?", or "Why music is popular?" or "Why is the basic proportionality theorem always true?"...That's that blog...

Why one should read it? - The articles try crystallizing the market structure of various software verticals - Blockchain, NoSQL, Big Data, Cloud Robotics, etc.

Feedback (both on syntactic and semantic matters :)) is welcome. You can reach me on my email: khatribox+HN (at) (Google's mailing service)[1]

Only just started so it's ended up being about quarantine in Hong Kong more than anything else. Ultimately I hope to write about a wide range of things that I've done of interest to me (music, software engineering, automotive modifications, hardware hacks, fitness, mental health and reflections on working in/running startups)

This is my personal blog where I pen down my thoughts on Containers, DNS, bits of Devops etc. I've been a self learner since the time I started programming and I feel penning down thoughts and reaching to a wider audience makes me learn those concepts even better.

If you enjoy understanding concepts using an ELI5 approach, consider checking out my blog :)

It's awesome because I use it for things I want to reference later.

I make JavaScript game tutorials to help people learn programming and have fun doing it. I also write about programming in general and random other stuff I find interesting.

You can find the game tutorials here: https://mitchum.blog/game-tutorials/

First i wrote it as a personal IT Security Blog. Now it‘s our company Blog - less ads more news about it security awareness.

Why you should read it? Daily news and different security issues, before big media companys get it.

It's a central repository for projects, articles, ideas, and learnings which are typically related to contemporary computing concepts.

I've made a start at syndicating material that I've published across different channels, but I still have a way to go. Going forward - all new materials will be published here also.

Kubernetes, FaaS, Service Mesh, etc.

It's awesome because of the range of topics- from computer generated poetry to developing a camera for watching my chickens peck each other. You're certain to find something to enjoy and hopefully turn your brain onto something new :) Popular posts are:

- making an AI play piano like me

- making an AI paint like me

- rejected New Yorker cartoons

- posts about my Go programs and tips

Thanks for the great thread.

Because its guaranteed to be unique perspectives about things everyone take for granted and its written for clearing up somE of my own thinking. Especially “The problem with Problems”, “Slaves of the feed - This is not the real-time we’ve been looking for” and “The Ghost Protocol” should be interesting to anyone in the startup tech space.

I write about distributed algorithms (Paxos, ABD, chain replication), cloud computing systems (recent papers in systems conferences), distributed databases (consistency guarantees), and blockchains (mostly from distributed consensus perspective).

I also write about academic life, research advice, book reviews, and miscellaneous stuff.

Started 6 years ago now, occasional investigations into maths, physics, and data.

I started this a year ago. We are a bank, but we also have a lot of cool stuff happening internally. It's nice to be able to show that banks are not as boring as they may seem. In some areas we have similar problems than other large techs :).

It's truly a mishmash of topics that are personally interesting to me that I've wanted to share with others. I've been blogging on-and-off for nearly 15 years [0].

My topics range from programming [1, 2], hardware I use for different purposes [3], the birth of my children, faith, BBSes [4], and free/libre software [5], to name a few.

I've recently started trying to make posts that also would be interesting for others, and one recent post related to AMD laptops made it to the front page of HN [6].

Edit: Added links to some of my referenced posts now that I'm at my computer.

Another one I maintain is http://pythontraininghq.com. It is all things Python. I am hoping share my lessons learned at various startups that used Python:)

I write about passive investing for Europeans, with some content written for Belgians specifically.

Most content around passive investing (i.e. investing in index funds) is targeted to a US audience and there's a clear lack of good information for European investors. I try to help remedy that with my blog.

I used it as a cache for people that I mentored a few years ago. The reality was that my writings were a way for me to form a coherent identity when I talk to people. A large focus on my career is mentoring, and so this was a stepping stone. Now, I just teach in the moment as things happen.

I was a developer and then moved up through management in various companies. I have worked for startups losing money and public corporate companies that made a lot.

I retired a couple of years ago from it all and now I am a small business and startup coach in Nebraska. I focus mainly on scaling the business and leadership skills.

I'm a grad student, I just started this blog last week so there is not much content here yet. I plan on writing mostly about my current research and other random topics. Topics I have in my drafts folder mostly pertain to the intersection between cryptography, cybercrime, and smart contracts.

This is my personal blog with a bit over 15 years of history by now :-)

I blog about technical stuff primarily, including my open source work in projects like NetBSD, interesting/weird things about programming languages and Unix systems, opinions on coding, and lately even things I have done at work in the Bazel space.

Thanks for reading!

I love my job as a software dev so far and I'm learning so much. But I'm always open to advice. https://kimpremlall.wixsite.com/softwaredevblog

It will definitely evolve over time, but right now it is an opportunity to document this time in our world by writing about my interests and how I spend my time.

Running, career, design, research, education, and more?

I am a Performance Engineer and I mainly write about : - Tools/profilers required for monitoring Performance of code. - Basic concepts for Performance tuning of the code. - Interesting resources that I come across in the field of CS.

I mainly blog about the projects I've worked on/been passionate about.

Namely:

- I wrote a software CPU (at the gate level) to get a better understanding how simple CPUs work

- I wrote a webassembly version of my gameboy color emulator

Not been updated recently as I've not got many side projectson, but I hope you find them enjoyable

However I have to say I’m not as motivated to write anymore. For tech answers like what I used to write, stack overflow and related are really best imo. For other interests, like personal finance or art, there is such a glut of content, it’s hard to be motivated to “add to the noise”. I hope to find some motivation and niche ideas here to get back to it.

You should read it if you are interested in programming and product things in general - so frontend, backend, and design the stuff. That's what I write most about.

But I also want to publish more in-depth tutorials like the DigitalOcean guides or career-tips.

There isn't any special reason to read it, I just write about topics I find interesting (as expected but that can be almost anything), share news about my side-projects and occasionally post some Python/Django tips.

Adding it here just in case someone ends up finding something useful there.

Started it to scratch my own itch. I'm a visual learner and learn the best when the maths is explained along with visualization and intuition. So, started this blog to share explanations of latest ML research using diagrams/code/analogies and linking them to associated math.

I mostly write about Python but not limited to it. It especially targets programmers.

Visit http://blog.adanansiddiqi.me/?ref=HN

My blog is mostly focused on philosophical ideas and questions that I find interesting. I'm currently writing a post on the fundamental source of motivation, purpose and work.

Not a huge amount of posts so far, but I'm looking to add to that over the next few months with the extra free time I have available.

I write about various technical topics. Some recent ones

* Using type-classes to model the expressivity of build systems

* Using 1Password with ssh-agent on Linux

and some that I'm proud of:

* Sampling Profiler Internals: Introduction

* Retrieving function arguments while unwinding the stack

* Why does my stack have an extra 4 bytes? Digging into Clang's return value implementation

‘Cause the domain name is clever enough to attract attention. Especially with sub domains. (Which were there before and are going to be there back at some point): Elon.letsmeetin.space , jef.letsmeetin.space. If you’re more insitutional what about nasa.letsmeetin.space.

Blog itself is very random.

But, for starters, https://junglecoder.com

Why is it awesome? Because I write about things that I find _very_ interesting. Highlights include an article on Factor, a retrospective on 8 years of side-projects, and a poem about trying to debug code late at night.

I know you’ll dig it!

Lots of recent posts about designing an open source function generator, and all of the related electronics/embedded systems development.

Also serves as a dumping ground for my work thoughts - short meditations on topics and situations I experience at work.

https://multiplexedmusings.com/2020/04/06/remote-work-a-manu...

I write about Artificial Intelligence, Turing tests, language processing, and a bit of robotics, for a layperson audience.

You should read it if:

- you enjoy critical commentary on popular AI news and practices,

- want to know AI myths from reality, or

- want to see a participant's view on Turing tests.

https://marcolabarile.me/notes (technical notes)

I blog about my experiences in tech and life. Also, I have publicly available technical notes for some of the topics I learned about.

Mainly strange poetry and photographs, maybe that's your kind of thing.

The only technical thing on it is the link to my repositories and this: https://vanwa.ch/software/ecload/

i’m an indie app builder and venture-funded technical founder. i have 3 kids and married 15 years. i’ve moved 18 times in those last 15 years for my startups. http://john.do

i also have a daily vlog: http://yen.show

I like to blog little implementations of interesting ideas and explanations. Trying to make the abstract concrete.

You might like it if you like the topics I like. Me dunno.

Got a fun series on category theory for python in the pipe.

Our blog is mainly about productivity and effectiveness around meetings. We all meet a lot (maybe too much), so we post about best practices, meeting types (silent, walking, customers, team), about it's impact, when tey are needed, etc.

I built an aggregator of developer and engineering blogs a while back. If you are interested checkout https://diff.blog.

Developers, if you are blog is not listed there, feel free to create an account and submit your blog :)

I write about collecting sci-fi books and pentesting, but I think the real draw is my making-the-sausage articles about my new bootstrapping project - https://formcake.com

why is it awesome? Honestly, it's really not.

And why should I (and everyone else) read it? You almost certainly shouldn't, it exclusively consists of posts that are a way for me to learn something, remember something or clarify something.

1- Spanish and English posts about: development, systems design (I love distributed ones), team management, startups and projects (my own and others sold to clients)

2- You can find there things that you can't see in any other place

3- A weekly roundup with technology news (in English)

I write about aspects of technical content development. Recent titles include "What I Learned about Style and Writing from Watching Bruce Lee" and "Making Useful Charts and Diagrams when you Suck at Drawing."

It's mostly book reviews of tech classics and Ruby stuff right now. The books that have shaped my career so they're usually positive but occasionally a sequel really disappoints so I get more critical: looking at you, The Unicorn Project.

I usually write about whatever game I've finished playing, but sometimes write something mildly funny, surreal, or sarcastic. Other times I write about some nifty piece of code I just wrote, or improvements to the blog itself.

I started the newsletter because information is either by commercial vendors (and biased) or in research papers that are not easily discoverable.

RSS feed is https://nts.strzibny.name/feed.xml.

Assorted blog posts on software engineering, data science, and introductory computational chemical physics

A curation of the best posts can be found at https://matthagy.com

You probably should not read it. I don't have a topic but write all over the place from software engineering to fan fiction. The good articles were on the HN frontpage. That should suffice for most here.

Haven't been publishing as often as I'd like, but the few things I've published were well received on HN.

Bite-sized programming concepts with interactive challenges in repl.it

Why? because it's just so hard to learn a concept by merely reading a blog post without implementing a basic version it yourself.

I only ever wrote 4 posts, but they all got very good feedback (including HN /Reddit front page). I've been meaning to get back to writing since forever.

I use my blog as a repository for knowledge and to build up more complex ideas. I do occasionally write topical articles, as well as project write ups but primarily it's a kind of published notes system in the vein of Gwern.net and others.

It's hosted on Github Pages so hopefully it's available:

I mostly write about Rust.

Most people have a narrow concept of Rust and confuse it with iron oxide, when reality is so much more vibrant. Copper oxides are my personal favourite.

It's written for curious, action-oriented people.

Why it's awesome: The ideas are mind-stretching or practical. I also write in an entertaining way.

I traveled the US and Canada in a renovated 1989 RV with my wife for two years while working remotely the whole time. So I had a lot of posts about mobile internet and setting up a solar power system which I designed myself.

I just started out, but It's a hodgepodge of reviews, thoughts on macroeconomics and politics, as well as tech and ideas ive had over the last decade.

Check it out if you are interested in macroeconomic thoughts as well as quick blurbs about tech

About software development and technical leadership. Just got started. Primarily writing to sort out my own thinking and get better at writing, but hopefully the content could be useful to others as well.

I think you should read my blog because I invest a lot of effort into researching my posts. Each post outlines a well-researched idea for SaaS Product.

It contains mockups, research, a strategy on where to find your first 10 customers etc

I usually write about Kotlin and everything related. I've recently finished a Roguelike tutorial series if you're into that sort of stuff.

Built this in March during quarantine it's still in progress. Doesn't have much contents yet just a couple of post about how I made this site.

I have gone through most of the sites in the comment, almost all are awesome. One of the most important thing for me to make a site is to learn to write.

I'm writing about high-performance node-link graph and geospatial visualizations. Although I started just recently, I have more drafted posts already. Follow me if you are interested in these topics!

At lot of efforts was dedicated to build a fast and clean reading experience with Gatsby.js. We mostly write about data related topics including Data Engineering, Data Science, infrastructure and cloud computing.

I write technical analyses of cryptocurrencies based on their flaws and vulnerabilities rather than on potential. My hope is that I can provide a realistically optimistic take on the crypto space.

It isn't updated very often. It covers a variety of topics: programming, philosophy, the Voynich manuscript, lepidoptera, Kalman filtering.

Very non-tech so perhaps of limited interest here, but it makes a nice change writing about something unrelated to the bulk of my work and hobbies.

I try to explain important concepts for software development/data science or share things I believe are important for our careers.

I don't post that often, but put a lot of work into every article.

I wanted to write to express myself better and create a home for me on the interwebs. Also I wanted to improve my technical skills and what better way to write my experiences and be accountable for.

ive been documenting the design ups and downs of a new class of musical instrument which hybridizes electronic and acoustic sound. you hear first performances and tech details demo'd and explained.

It's a mix of my projects (things like computer vision for face detection, and recognising knives in images), to beginner articles on JS.

I'm a former lawyer turned software engineer, and am documenting what I have learned.

So it's made like a wiki but with a design that works for blogs too.

Meaning I update posts regularly instead of making new ones.

The personal thoughts section is much smaller than the technical section.

And thanks for reminding me, I should sign up for Feedly Pro or whatever. Pay for things you like (RIP, Google Reader) :)

It is beyond your wildest dreams.

I write about tech stuff I find useful while working during my job. Recently I have started writing about my hobbies (gardening, short stories etc.). If anybody has some suggestions, feel free to drop a line.

I mostly write about front-end programming and JavaScript. I try to write short, catchy, educational posts. I also draw an illustration for each post, since I used to be a cartoonist a long time ago.

I do a bit of traveling and a lot of climbing and have been posting some trip reports recently. I've also been doing book reviews if you're into the fantasy genre!

Read it if you want to read something about R and simplifying things. You can also refresh the front page for some random quotes.

It's quite new and doesn't have a lot of posts yet.

I write posts mostly for myself, and host things/write them up after I've done them and struggled so that I have a well written and organized note to go look at. If it helps others, even better!

It is small yet, only 2 articles, but I plan to write more. It is about building stuff (for example dicsord bot with speech recognition) explained in simple terms and with detailed steps.

A dire warning against fan remakes.

I cover personal growth from the lens of an athlete (ex NCAA gymnast), tech founder (YC/Techstars backed), and deliberate practice / psychology lens.

I write mostly about VR (some startup rants in there, too). You should read it if you're interested in VR topics (not too technical, but more opinions on broader trends, economics, etc.)

When I find a topic particularly interesting, I like to write an in-depth post on it. My blog content is mostly on all things web. I don’t blog as frequently as I should though.

Nerd stuff, timekeeping, watches and clocks, home networking, a bit of politics.

My musings on consciousness, materialism, information, knowledge, life, the universe. Might not all be correct ;) But I think must will find it quite different from the "normal" views.

I write stuff every now and again so I don't forget how to write. Contains random notes on stuff I have been thinking about. May contain traces of nuts.

I mainly write about frontend, Node.js, modern javascript ecosystem tooling, productivity and occasional book reviews that I found interesting (not necessarily software related).

My goal is to talk about original topics in which it is difficult to find information whatever the topic: startups, dating, nutrition , diy, travelling as a dev

I write tutorials, quick start guides, small interactive demos, tools and other stuff in there.

Electronics, open source hardware, web-tech. Anything tech-related really. Haven't published anything since 2018 but have a blog post brewing in my head now.

It's mostly thing I think are interesting, with occasional longer form pieces of creative nonfiction or book reviews.

It's old -- 20 this year -- and all the archives are there, too.

I write about DevOps and leadership in a DevOps context. I also post weekly DevOps roundups on a second blog outlining the major DevOps announcements of the past week.

My goal is to demystify modern Machine Learning algorithms via "from scratch" implementations and explanations focused on the intuitions behind core ideas.

I made the blogging software too: https://github.com/tinspin/sprout

It's got what _I_ believe to be a bunch of good articles about developer job searching.

Due to the offline nature of my endeavours, the posts are usually pretty lowtech-highlife.

I've been mostly posting game dev related things lately but try to add posts whenever I come across something that would be helpful to many people.

And I think you shouldn't read it because it's personal from my daily life and in portuguese, but the domain is really cool, so I thought I'd share it anyway.

I occasionally write technical stuff on machine learning, statistics or Golang etc. Basically whatever suits my fancy. Been on the HN front page a few times.

I don't think anyone should read. I just write random stuff about vanilla Js and node. I wish I could post often but am lazy most of the times.

I don't know what it's about myself. Mostly random thoughts and stuff I've created out of boredom. Also recipes I've cooked.

I write about programming and recently about Firebase. You would want to read it if you use Firebase or are interested in learning about it.

It's a web comic series exploring physics and math in a non-introductory format.

You should read it because carbon tech is changing rapidly and can have a huge effect on the climate.

I write a weekly update at http://tito.co

I started it as a discipline to write everyday, and it stuck.

The most interesting parts are recipes for quick bite. Otherwise I post solutions to coding problems I had and didn't find good write-ups for at the time.

Nothing special by any means, just a place for me to rant or rave about design in general.

I write about VLC and LibVLCSharp, detailing how to build fun and unique crossplatform multimedia app prototypes (all code is open).

I journal things so that I can stop thinking about old ideas, and polish up the good ones for publication so that people the PageRank gods direct my way can share their related new ideas. My audience is really Google, rather than any community of subscribers. Reviewing the average time since last post metrics in the Coders folder of my RSS reader, it seems I'm not alone. A lot of people blog perhaps once a year, which is why the aggregation is useful.

I often blog as a form of longer lived documentation for ideas shared on social media. I'll take some of the more inspired posts I've written up on StackExchange or Reddit and repost on my own blog. As I write this I realize I could polish up a few book reviews. In large part my goal is to reduce my role as a digital peasant, generating content for someone else to monetize.

I also blog as a low effort low cost homelab. Learn how to write CSS, learn how to use Jinja templates, learn how to write Chef and Terraform. Learn how work within constraints, to optimize results without straying beyond the free tiers. Learn how AdSense works, how referral systems work. The blog provides a platform for motivated experimentation, so even though I have yet to get my AdSense check, it's proved valuable as a professional experience.

It's also an exercise in hubris. I found out last week that my blog had been offline, and that system that I had set in place for monitoring that was also offline. Pingdom cancelled their free service and it seems I ignored their warning emails. And it seems that Chef, which is responsible for keeping services up, itself stopped working, presumably due to memory pressures from working within the free tier. A self inflicted wound really, since I know this happens and chose to live with the consequences.

Mainly Java as I was a Java developer when I started Now a lot of Kotlin, Spring Boot, Kubernetes, Testing, ...

It's just random articles - some tech, some rants, and it's got no ads.

I try to add different content but it's a smorgasbord

I wrote about cloud native, homelab, mechanical keyboard mostly. no main theme, just whatever I'm interested in at the time.

I mainly make guides on how to use technologies such as Kubernetes and AWS amplify. Feel free to post any criticism.
