Ask HN: What is your blog and why should I read it?

My blog is at: https://the-cogitator.com/posts/blog/

I usually write about Kotlin and everything related. I've recently finished a Roguelike tutorial series if you're into that sort of stuff.

The best solution I've seen for making sidenotes responsive is to move them into the body text. Examples:

I'm not sure how well this would work for shorter notes though.

I write regularly about security, programming, and several other topics at http://robertheaton.com/ . They’re detailed, offbeat, and very funny. I’ve broken several high-profile privacy abuses, most notably:

* Wacom drawing tablets track the name of every application that you open - https://robertheaton.com/2020/02/05/wacom-drawing-tablets-tr...

* “Stylish" browser extension steals all your internet history - https://robertheaton.com/2018/07/02/stylish-browser-extensio...

* HP printers try to send data back to HP about your devices and what you print - https://robertheaton.com/2019/09/15/hp-printers-send-data-on...

I write the Steve Steveington Chronicles, in which you and your good friend, Steve Steveington, exploit weird security and privacy edge cases in the internet:

* Fun with your friend's Facebook and Tinder sessions - https://robertheaton.com/2014/12/08/fun-with-your-friends-fa...

* How Tinder keeps your exact location (a bit) private - https://robertheaton.com/2018/07/09/how-tinder-keeps-your-lo...

I write a lot for “advanced beginners” - people who understand how for-loops and if-statements work, but who aren’t sure what to do next:

* Programming Projects for Advanced Beginners - https://robertheaton.com/2018/12/08/programming-projects-for...

* https://robertheaton.com/pfab

I write about being a parent:

* Childbirth: a father's-eye view - https://robertheaton.com/2019/06/17/childbirth-a-fathers-eye...

* Plus five more episodes (and counting), linked from the bottom of that post

Finally, I write detailed explanations of complex technical topics:

* HTTPS in the real world - https://robertheaton.com/2018/11/28/https-in-the-real-world/

* How does Tor work? - https://robertheaton.com/2019/04/06/how-does-tor-work/

I write a blog called The Art of Ass-Kicking at https://www.jasonshen.com

I cover personal growth from the lens of an athlete (ex NCAA gymnast), tech founder (YC/Techstars backed), and deliberate practice / psychology lens.

This thread is a real joy to read! Thanks a lot!

Long live the decentralized web.
