I maintain a feed aggregator focused only on ruby at http://rubyland.news -- doesn't have the interactive/personalization features of yours, you have gone quite a bit furhter! But anyway, is there a way I can suggest blogs to diff.blog? (including my own). Or, if you'd like to just scrape the ones I've already "curated", feel free. http://rubyland.news/sources.opml

Hey, rubyland was one of the inspirations for diff.blog. Thanks for building it :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23914685 > But anyway, is there a way I can suggest blogs to diff.blog? (including my own). Yes. You can suggest new blogs at https://diff.blog/suggest . The recommended way to add your own blog is by going to profile settings since that allow you to change the URL as well as refresh the feed. But b…

Aw, nice! Rubyland.news has been a low-feedback endeavor, I'm never sure anyone has even noticed it, so that's nice to hear!

You have definitely taken it a bunch of steps further with diff.blog! I thought about that but definitely didn't have the free-side-project time for it.

I love all efforts to keep blogging and RSS feeds alive, in the world of gated social media!

Bret Devereaux's https://acoup.blog/ is a fantastic weekly read. I was drawn in by some of the comparisons between Lord of the Rings and historical battle practices [0][1]. Right now, he's in the middle of a series on how Paradox Interactive games portray history, what things are accurate/inaccurate, and how to best connect with students whose interest in history was sparked by Paradox games [2].

No joke, I loved his recent series about the history of textile production. Really excellent, like most of the stuff he has written. The Paradox ones are OK but I haven't played the games so I kind of trailed off on those.

The series on iron-working is also superb: https://acoup.blog/2020/09/18/collections-iron-how-did-they-...

I love blog posts by Amos - https://fasterthanli.me They write long, informative, and fun articles. I usually spend hours to on each post. Some recommendations if you want to get started: 1. What's in the box? - https://fasterthanli.me/articles/whats-in-the-box 2. Making our own ping - https://fasterthanli.me/series/making-our-own-ping 3. What's in a Rainbow table? - https://fasterthanli.me/articles/whats-in-a-rainbo…

I highly recommend “A half-hour to learn Rust” if you’re interested in Rust but haven’t tried it yet. The article is very engaging with many small snippets that make sense to a person with a good programming background but no specific Rust knowledge.

It partially inspired me to start keeping a list of similar learning content over at https://github.com/b0o/awesome-by-example
