It's not like those you list as there's no voting, but I maintain https://engineeringblogs.xyz/ which is a river of links to posts on over 500 software engineering related blogs. There's an OPML file if you want to take the feeds into your own reader or you can submit feeds to add.
Oh, I also run https://rubyflow.com/ which is a MetaFilter-style linklog for the Ruby community, and somehow gets a fair few posts each day.

just a heads up, the link text for a post titled “ activerecord::Relation%23structurally_compatible?” is overflowing from its div and causing the page to scroll horizontally on iOS

Why laugh? Hammer and sickle is the iconography for worker/peasant unity, often associated with Communist parties and Socialist states. What's the joke?

Please don't take HN threads further into ideological flamewar. We're trying to avoid that here. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

Your comment upthread was fine but this is taking things further into ideological flamewar (and snark) and we don't want that here. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

> Or the swastika (whether hindu or Nazi)?
TIL the word is actually from Hindi - I was all ready to object to your giving them the same name (if only I'd known what the Hindu one was called, assuming it was different) - I thought they were entirely unrelated symbols and ideas that just happened to have a similar representation.
Seems obvious in retrospect, knowing स्वस्थ ('svast'/'swast' meaning healthy) though I suppose being British/born (decades) post-war my association for 'swastika' are just not anything to do with well-being at all.

I'm from the UK and was well aware, I think you may be surprised at how common this knowledge is. I worked in a bat in Sydney Australia that was decorated with a mosaic swastika and had signs up explaining it was built by Hindus ore WW2. AOf course they didn't build it as a bar originally.

Ok. I don't think I claimed that nobody knew/most people didn't? I was just interested to learn it myself and thought there might be one or two others who'd be interested too. Sorry to trouble you.
If you're objecting to me associating it to being British-born post-Nazism.. well, I spent a lot more time in school learning about the war and war-adjacent topics than I did Hinduism. And I don't recall the svastika from what I did learn about Hinduism at all. (I'm aware of it through film and reading.)
If I saw it in the street or as a tattoo (which I never have, aside from that depicted in American film and television) I would assume Nazism, unless it had dots or perhaps if it wasn't at an angle (or in film, obviously not if it's Bollywood). And the connotation of that isn't 'well-being' to me; I don't doubt (now, knowing the common origin) that's why they chose it, I'm simply explaining how I'd failed to make the connection.

Or if this is being misinterpreted - to be absolutely clear, I mean the word, as rendered in the English alphabet. I have absolutely no problem with it being used as a positive symbol, a स्वस्तिका, all I meant was that I didn't realise there was any connection at all! I thought there was one with positive associations, and one with negative, and they just looked similar but that was that.

I just checked out their website. It looks vastly different. It used to be mostly technical posts, and the logo even had a girl in overalls turning a wrench.
The types of posts look like it has greatly changed over the years. I'm curious as to why I was downvoted. I understand why the other person was downvoted ("literal cancer"). Oh well.

When I visited it last time, they tried to sell me a 100 dollar virus scanner app for my iPhone [1] so yeah I wasn’t exaggerating much. I’d much rather have Hodgkins Lymphoma than that site lol.

Language evolves. Literal clearly doesn’t just mean what literal literally meant a few decades back. It’s especially poetic when you’re using it in jest. Get over it?
Also who doesn’t know someone with cancer? 1 in 3 dies of it. Except for kids dying of brain cancer I don’t see what’s especially horrendous about it. As a matter of fact I’d much rather die of cancer than a brain aneurysm. Give me time to set my things in order?

https://www.fark.com/ still has snarky headlines and offbeat content but the selection of articles is quite varied, and the comment section still has quality content. Certainly better comments than the WSJ troll-fest.

It's created by me. I enjoy the read view on Unfeeder for long articles. I don't longer use or need a feed reader since I created it.
Are you behind the project? I think I spotted a bug:
After hiding the "Popular" links, saving and returning, the "CUSTOMIZE POPURLS" button stops being clickable.
I can keep customizing it with the back button, though, so not a big deal... Anyway, I'm liking it, thanks!
I wonder if this is by the same guy... its literally identical and you could customize without an account...

Think of it like Twitter but with chat rooms instead async comments.
There's no voting and the focus is on science, tech, engineering, markets, hobbies, and culture.

On the other hand, why does this question is asked so often? I see it once a month, probably.
