Of most interest to HN readers is probably this piece of flash fiction, Prompt Engineering for pre-Singularity Service Workers [0], inspired by the idea that LLMs like ChatGPT are likely to change the way people communicate with each other. But there’s also this ten-part series on how to write a fight scene [1].[0] https://lovebloodrhetoric.com/2023/06/20/prompt-engineering-…

I started this blog during exams session back in university and I’ll reach the 20-year mark next year. Wow. I write about my own projects, but also tech in general based on my current interests, which at the moment are around Rust, Bazel (again), and Unix systems in general.
It’s interesting how the blog has changed: I used to write short posts almost daily describing whatever I had been tinkering with in open source projects (back when I contributed to NetBSD and Gnome regularly)… or whatever crossed my mind really. These days, most of those misc posts go into social media, and the blog is reserved for purposeful articles, which end up being much longer (and thus infrequent).
Commenting on the blog used to be much more common years ago, but these days discussion happen off-site in either social media or here. Similarly, people used to visit the blog periodically, but these days nobody does: traffic to the blog is either from organic searches or from spikes due to referrals from sites like HN.
As for how I build it: the posts are written in Markdown; I use Hugo to generate the site; Bootstrap for styling; and my custom web service (EndTRACKER) to offer email subscriptions, post voting and commenting, as well as privacy-respecting analytics.

This blog has changed my life. It landed me jobs, it made me become a writer without having to ask (all the book I’ve published so fare were on request of publishers because of my blog).

I mostly talk about stuff I’ve been learning about. For instance:
1. Lagrangian mechanics I [https://oktagonia.github.io/blog/lanlifshitz_1/notes.html] and II [https://oktagonia.github.io/blog/lanlifshitz_2/notes.html]
2. Group theory (solubility and symmetric groups in particular) [https://oktagonia.github.io/blog/insolubility/p.html]
Besides this, I occasionally write about some of my own explorations as well; stuff that doesn’t fit as neatly into a university course format:
1. Going over a random lemma from Newton’s Principia [https://oktagonia.github.io/blog/lemma14/lemma14.html]
2. Encoding ternary logic into the lambda calculus (I previously posted on HN) [https://oktagonia.github.io/blog/ternary/ternary.html]
3. Some epistemological ideas (tbh this is not very good and I intend to write a better post about this stuff soon) [https://oktagonia.github.io/blog/pragsol/p.html]
I hope you guys enjoy and give me some feedback if you got some.

I generally try to target the intermediate level that often gets lost in the spectrum between surface-level intros or expert level deep dives. My hope is that someone gains an better understanding or discovers a new practical tool or approach that they can then use to better their life and career.

Hence I started a more simple static site generated from Github to handle the more tech-oriented topics. But as fate would have it, I have worked very little with any even mildly interesting tech-related subjects since then so the blog is a bit stale, even though I really like the design.

I rarely get a lot of traction, but that’s to be expected given the topics.
I do get a bit of a kick out of the fact that many of my blog posts will end up in the top 5 Google results when you search for one or two words of the subject. There’s just not a lot of people who write about the HP 11720A pulse generator…

These days I generally use it as a place to write up notes on whatever I happened to be working on recently. This is sometimes useful for me to refer back to, and hopefully useful for others too.
On one occasion I searched on Google to try and help solve a programming problem, only to find a post from myself published 8 months earlier, in which I had solved that exact same problem:
https://sam.hooke.me/post/2018/10/that-weird-feeling/
Before becoming a full time software engineer I used to develop video games for fun, initially in Game Maker but then later in Unity and other languages. Over time I’m aiming to (re)publish them on my website, rather than just leaving them to rot on my hard drive. None were particularly big hits back in the day, though the most successful was probably Dominos 2: Winter Edition, a physics based platformer with level editor. You can play it here:

It’s a new site. Some of my favorites so far:
– https://daveon.design/what-are-you-optimising-for.html – How managers ask for something and get something else, but think they’re doing a good job
– https://daveon.design/creating-joy-in-the-user-experience.ht… – UX design often looks lovely, but what is it missing? Joy.
– https://daveon.design/metrics-and-mistakes.html – on measuring things… and poetry.
I’m particularly happy with the design of the site: I’d love to hear what readers think of the layout and typography. My CSS style is called ‘manuscript’ and it’s very inspired by older book and manuscript look and feel.
There is zero Javascript and ZERO cookies or tracking. None at all.

Long story short, I’ve wanted to write about this esoteric but powerful technique and it snowballed into starting my own blog with a series of articles about reverse-engineering. It’s still a WIP draft, quite rough around the edges and not ready for prime-time, but you only have that kind of Ask HN thread once (every couple of years I assume).
Side-note: the Google and Bing webcrawlers managed to find and index that domain name despite having no public links to it whatsoever (to my knowledge) until now, my only logical explanation is that they’ve found it by scrapping the WHOIS database. It’s also hosted inside my home on my personal Synology DS218 NAS with a rather dodgy setup, which will probably crash and burn under any level of load by the time you’ve read this comment.

I always liked to do it and had a old WordPress website, but now I decided to code it from scratch to make the blogging experience simpler. Allowing me to drag and drop Word files over the page to create articles. I also blogged about that!

I test compatibility with a lot more than just mainstream browsers: the Tor Browser’s safest mode, various article extractors, NetSurf, Ladybird, w3m, and a dozen other user-agents work well. Accessibility-wise, I’m close to WCAG 2.2 AAA compliance, and have already passed AA; I consider WCAG a starting rather than a stopping point. More on its design is in the “Meta” section.
It has long-form blog articles and short-form notes (microblogs).
My best posts are on the homepage, followed by a bunch of webrings.

There have been a few posts that have sparked discussions on HN, and quite a few of them relate to the ThinkPad T430. I often jokingly say that this laptop has been a good investment in more ways than one.
Top 3 as judged by HN:
– Why I went back to using a ThinkPad from 2012: https://ounapuu.ee/posts/2022/01/09/why-i-went-back-to-using…
– Shrinkflation, SanDisk Style: https://ounapuu.ee/posts/2023/02/15/shrinkflation/
– Surviving the front page of Hacker News on a 50 Mbps uplink: https://ounapuu.ee/posts/2022/02/09/hn-stats-analytics/

I used to have a large blog ten years ago, with at least one post per day, because every blog guru on the internet said you needed to post every day to grow an audience. But I’m not smart enough to have something interesting to say every day, so it was rather poor quality. So I started this new iteration from scratch and post once or twice a year, mostly about software design.

I’ve been writing the blog for about 20 years now.
– Full article list: https://www.databasesandlife.com/newest/
– List of categories (Java, PostgreSQL, etc.): https://www.databasesandlife.com/categories/
Started life on uboot.com (does anyone remember that?) then migrated to WordPress, and now Hugo.
The only articles which really get any hits any more are those where I’ve specifically solved problems I was having, i.e. posts which are similar to Stack Overflow answers. I guess people search for the error messages and find my articles, so that’s search working as intended I guess.
If I write anything else e.g. my thoughts on software development, it’s still a useful exercise to focus the mind, and I can send the article to a few mates and they might read it, but that’s it, no hits from Google etc.
Back in the days of Google Reader I used to have some readers via RSS, and I used to follow a number of interesting blogs from various individuals I’d found. Those were nice times, but I guess they’re over.
https://www.databasesandlife.com/
My personal blog. I originally started it when I was running my first company to document the stuff I learned. It’s been around in various incarnations since 2008, but I don’t blog very often. In the last couple of years, it’s devolved into personal book and movie reviews. If you like indie movies or nonfiction, give it a read!
https://overthinkingmoney.com/

I am afraid that my non native english make the content less pleasant to read 😉
I have been blogging since a long time, including a blog with more than hundreds of articles that I am not sharing. It’s strange when you realise that you basically could have written two or three non fiction books.
Of the shared content, the ones I think are the most interesting are:
– A post mortem analysis about a solo startup project https://outofthecomfortzone.frantzmiccoli.com/thoughts/2016/…
– The recent articles about generative on the second blog.
– A write up about a very cool data science project around smart watches https://thedarkside.frantzmiccoli.com/experimentations/2016/…

Essentially a place to take notes: on the digital devices I use and tips of the software I use. The main idea is to have a place I can refer to when I want some programming/software/hardware detail a second time, instead of returning to Google search again. I’ve found it easier to have my own notes (once I find the info I need) since other sources of info online can disappear over time or disappear from search results.

It is my second time writing publicly. This is how it began: https://evalapply.org/posts/hello-world

The idea of Nationality as a Service was later rebranded by others as the “Nation State”: https://nonhuman.party/post/nationality_as_a_service/

Next post will be on “Why We Sleep” by Matthew Walker, a summary of its content with relevant additions from elsewhere and a quick evaluation discussing its problems such as far far too many untruthful claims.
Future posts will be on my year studying in South Korea, burnout, motivation, front-end development and a rewrite of the post on Anki and learning. Have more thing planned but am already not publishing enough.
Seeing so many posts here feels intimidating and it might not be worth the effort to even share this. Hopefully one person enjoys it 🙂

– tech (lots of Python & JS, but other topics too)
– media reviews (big best-ofs yearly)
– personal items
I post ~ 4 times a year, on average, but I put a lot of effort into what I post. I should probably invert that (more low/medium-effort posts), but haven’t.
Please tell me anything jumps out at you!

Now I want to publish lesson learned while building my side-project (https://humadroid.dev), which is a missing tool I wish I had when running software house year-and-a-half ago, before I sold it.
Topics considered for near future:
* lessons learned while coding it in Rails with hotwire & stimulus
* lessons learned actually sellign it to people (Open-Startup idea/movement is close to my beliefs).

It has hit HN a few times but I’ll admit I have no analytics on it so I don’t really know how many readers I have beyond my newsletter subscribers.
https://www.adamconrad.dev
(1) lessons from building, including building/selling to a F500 for $>90M
(2) summaries of stuff books i read
goal is to
1/ share what my failures with others and hopefully help someone
2/ give my thoughts clarity

Some of my more-visited or favorite posts:
* A primer on Roaring bitmaps: what they are and how they work — https://vikramoberoi.com/a-primer-on-roaring-bitmaps-what-th…. This one ended up on the front page of HN and gets hundreds of visits monthly. I wrote it because it’s the post I would have liked to read instead of reading the papers themselves.
* An internship working on “Customers who bought this also bought” at Amazon 16 years ago — https://vikramoberoi.com/an-internship-working-on-customers-…. I wrote this one as an addendum to throwaway tweet I posted that went viral.
* How I made atariemailarchive.org —
https://vikramoberoi.com/how-i-made-atariemailarchive-org/. I wrote this one when I open-sourced the dataset behind atariemailarchive.org. The dataset got featured in Data is Plural and in a podcast interview I did with Jeremy Singer-Vine.

My favorite personal blog to read this past year is Phil Eaton’s (eatonphil on HN): https://notes.eatonphil.com/.
I enjoy the subject matter he posts about (a lot of systems work and research, primarily), but his other posts are great too.
His post, “Is it worth writing about?” is a nice inspirational one for folks who want to/have been thinking about writing: https://notes.eatonphil.com/is-it-worth-writing-about.html.

It all started with WPF then Silverlight (RIP), then diversified into HTML5 (when the version number seemed to be a thing). I also had a fun foray into mobile dev for a while, swift / iOS. More recently it’s been quite JS-heavy, and the past year or so, a lot of AI.
There is an underlying theme of open source throughout.
A fun trip down memory lane!
