My personal blog : http://lengrand.fr/ I don't know if it's 'awesome' but it seems some people at least like it :). Mostly Elm and Java related things, or more social. The most visited page by far is a list of all Computer Vision companies I ever came across that I maintain for 10+ years now. https://lengrand.fr/computer-vision-companies/

Hey, I've got an addition to your list, a spanish company called ISEND, makers of EDDYeyes.

Disclaimer: My partner works with them.

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.)

Nice to see these sort of posts popping up on HN. I've been enjoying HN the past few weeks - a lot of community related posts and engagement. 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 note…

I really like the design of your page! 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.

Thanks for the kind words. A sidebar was my primary requirement when choosing which framework to use. It’s just a modified VuePress in case you’re interested.

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.

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.

Great thread! have found some gems.

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.

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).

https://thebigg-v3.tumblr.com/ I was mostly a student for the past five years; just graduated on January, 2020.

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...
