I have created a feed aggregator at https://techblogz.onrender.com (also at http://techblogz.co, sorry, got to fix it to https). It's a collection of engineering blogs specifically from tech companies (updated daily). At some point in the past, I wanted to search for a specific technical term (like Kubernetes) across all those blogs to understand how that technology is being used at various companies. But I found it a pain to do this search since you have to search for that term in each blog one by one. So to solve the problem, I created this. It is also helpful for tech interview preparation. I would love for you guys to try it out and provide some feedback.

#172- https://www.allsides.com/unbiased-balanced-news - https://www.academia.edu/ - https://www.linkedin.com/feed/ - https://theconversation.com/us - https://ground.news/ - https://sumi.news/ - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events - https://lobste.rs/
What is your opinion on how well all sides are represented on allsides.com or how balanced/unbiased the news there?
I mean, I like it. Allsides.com's "side" identification are decided by viewers, so I'm at the mercy of the majority's observational skills. Luckily, they show a viewer more than just the one "left", "right" and "center" outlet's coverage, so if I disagree with one topic's assessment on which outlet should be the spokesperson for which end of the spectrum, I can look for whatever outlet in that topic I think would be better suited for the role.
Allsides.com does not fix the eternal vigilance needed for news cycles in our modern age, but it does make it easier.

#173Specifically for Australian tech nerds, The Sizzle (https://thesizzle.com.au) is fantastic. It's the only source of tech news that has a real Aussie feel to it, and that discusses Australian tech news as well as that on a global level.

Seems highly random. Why would the Indian Premier Cricket League and Indy 500 be featured? These are national news which only a few people care about outside the respective countries.
Could be because the Indian Premier Cricket League (IPL), which started in 2008, is huge now. Here's the per match broadcast value of sports leagues around the world (Jun 2023):
1.NFL: $17 million
2. IPL: $13.4 million
3. EPL: $11 million
4. MLB: $11 million
5. NBA: $9 million

#176https://researchbuzz.me/ Run by the tireless Tara Calishain. Covers the world of search engines, archives, social media, online information collections, and other interesting stuff. She's been running the site 1998. Not many sites like this around much these days.
+1 There are very few people like Tara who have been curating such good stuff for such a long time.

#177I've read The Code Project Insider for at least ten years, possibly quite a few more. It is similar to HN, sometimes but not always sourcing articles from it, with a bit of a .NET focus. It's a really good way to keep up with the industry, mailed out for free daily. You can see the current edition online at https://www.codeproject.com/script/Mailouts/View.aspx?mlid=1...

> Plus about 100 personal blogs (3/day) and update feeds of e.g. software releases, OSM activity in my neighborhood, etc. (6/day). What RSS reader do you use to keep up with all this?
I've been using https://www.inoreader.com/ for reading feeds for years and I'm pretty happy with it.
