this stuff never seems to be highly upvoted on HN anymore, and if it gets to +30 there's only a few comments, i speculate because new-school HNers don't understand or care. so i track them myself. best two advanced swegr blogs ever: http://prog21.dadgum.com/ -- swegr, fp theory http://www.johndcook.com/blog/ -- swegr, fp theory other advanced swegr blogs. we're not talking atwood and joel, here, that stuff is for col…

I came here with the thought of adding John Cook's blog but I see the name already.

Second the recommendation.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Sorry, but neither DDG nor Google know about the term "swegr", what does it stand for?

To me a "swegr" sounds like it would mean "an outdoor event on a really hot day where you have to dress in formal attire." Cause you'd sweat a lot. It probably stands for software engineering, though.

In Glasgow, here in Scotland, a "Swedger" is boiled sweet or candy.

As in "gonnae gee-us wan o'yer swedgers, wee man".

The only semi-regularly updated ones I currently have in my RSS reader are: - James Hague's "Programming in the 21st Century": http://prog21.dadgum.com/ - Edward Z. Yang's blog: http://blog.ezyang.com/ Rest of my daily blog hits I get via Hacker News and reddit/r/haskell

dadgum has been mentioned a few times in this thread .. could someone please explain why that is a good blog, maybe a link to an article that is insightful?

I use to have a very big list that I would consume via RSS. I kept making the list smaller and smaller as I wasn't checking it very often and thought that was the reason. Then I realized why: for the most part I was seeing the best of those articles on HN. So now, for my daily reads, it is 100% HN + some curated newsletters I'm subscribed too.

Please share your preferred newsletters -- I can't seem to find the good ones.
