Favourite Blogs

Blogging was the best thing about the 2000's internet

Not all of them may be active anymore…

General

• Idle words by Maciej Cegłowski - Wikipedia. My favourite post being - Argentina On Two Steaks A Day (Idle Words)
• Waiter Rant (I liked the pre-book version much better)
• Shit my dad says (again, the pre-book, tv-show! much better)

Programming

• Steve Yegge - Stevey’s blog rants - classic programming blog – some good posts include – Emacs, Lisp, Kotlin, “the amazon post”
• Paul Graham - not much about programming these days, but some vignettes back in the day, especially about “The Python Paradox”, “Bayesian Spam Filters”
• 2023-10-12 technically a blog | nicole@web, especially see In Defense of the Midwest

Science, and Mathematics

• Cosma Shalizi’s Three-Toed Sloth, mostly as an inspiration on reading. My notebooks is also heavily inspired by his notebooks, again nowhere as widely and deeply read as him.
