I write about adtech madness - fraud, bots, malware and how the protection tech against them work. You should read it if you have any interest in adtech and security, because I don't write Corp BS, just share ideas, stories and technical details.

I write accessible articles on technical subjects when I have some particular insight to share that I haven't seen written about before. That ends up meaning that I don't post very much, but I think the posts are very good when I do.

Here are some of my best posts.

https://paulstamatiou.com/ Been running this site for about 15 years now and while I don't post often it's usually long-form detailed articles on a broad range of hardware/software/tech/design topics that take me a few months of spare time: Getting started with security keys (15k words) https://paulstamatiou.com/getting-started-with-security-keys...

Wow, your blog is so beautiful. Do you have any posts about how to build a blog like yours? I really admire you!

I just wanted to say I really like the format of your site - particularly your implementation of sidenotes.

Thanks! For anyone reading this who wants more information on how they work without needing to dig through the site's source code, there's a quick demo I have up on JSFiddle. This was written a while ago, I suspect there are easier ways to make this work today. - Asides using only floats: http://jsfiddle.net/danShumway/0wqkk578/ There are a few irritations I have with the sidenotes that I want to clear up in the rede…

That great. I wanted the same sort of formatting for my blog so I started with the Tufte CSS project but I think I like your implementation better. If I was to start again I would probably steal your ideas.

I love sidenotes in general but they tend to break down on vertically oriented mobile devices. It took me ages come up with a solution and even then I am not really happy with it.

That's cool! At some point, I myself thought about making a clone of HN that just filters out everything that is not a blog post. However, I couldn't come up with a solid filter criteria. I agree that your method is not quite there yet, still a lot of large domains (airbnb.com, spiegel.de, spectator.co,...), but you started and that is already more than I ever did ;) I would suggest including the HN metadata, such as…

That's an interesting problem. Aside from HN, I frequent TechMeme alot for the more news-y side of tech. They have a leaderboard section [1], that has all of the biggest tech publications ranked. That could be a good starting filter? [1]: https://www.techmeme.com/lb

I think the problem is AI-complete and human curation would go a long way. Admittedly it's more expensive and doesn't scale as well.

My blog is mostly focused on philosophical ideas and questions that I find interesting. I'm currently writing a post on the fundamental source of motivation, purpose and work.

Not a huge amount of posts so far, but I'm looking to add to that over the next few months with the extra free time I have available.
