What, if any, programming blogs do anusriders read?

I don't follow any blogs, but if I find some interesting post when searching for something, or having someone link it to me, I may read it if I find it interesting.

Here's an interesting one I came across the other day:
http://insidelisp.blogspot.com/
It's about someone exploring SBCL's internals, especially the compiler. A while ago, I did look at the frontend, so I was familiar with the things he talked in the first half of his posts, but I never did get far enough to be able to fully understand IR1 handler code, which is written in a pretty specialized compiler DSL. Funnily enough, non-portable x86 IR2 VOPs are actually understandable to me to some degree as I do know x86 asm.

Surely you jest. Don't you read Xarn's blög?

But on the nondestructive, non cult-of-personality side, I enjoy http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/ and http://blog.sigfpe.com/.

people say reddit and twitter are useless, but if you'd used them you'd have known about it a month ago.

The only one I seem to read regularly is JRM's "Abstract Heresies". I do look at a number of maths blogs though

Fuck your cult of personality. I read Xarn's blog because it's actually pretty good, on the rare occasions that he updates.

And only when the posts are about programming, I hope.

I like his non-programming posts too, but since the thread is about programming, that's besides the point.

Or I could have just lurked #lisp as someone there might have posted it. It's not really relevant as when you need to find information about something, you look it up on a search engine and find most public information that you're looking for.

Calm down, Xarnfolk. {i You} are the cult of personality and the reason I can't take Xarn seriously.

No, it's on both sides.

I don't care what issues you have, but don't project them onto innocent bystanders. In the past few days more threads have been derailed by idiots whining about the Xarn cult than by the cult itself.

Back on topic, I don't think there are any programming blogs that are consistently good, so it would be nice if there were some sort of aggregation site where people can just submit the best posts. Does anyone know of any that aren't overrun by morons?

My ``pretentious wank'' comment was specifically about LtU. I don't know why you think that means I'm a cultist.

>>17
Why do you find LtU to be `pretentious wank'. Is it because it is programming language specific, or because of the commenters?

Lesson one: Don't read the fucking comments. If I wanted the comments, I would read reddit/\/./digg.

God damn I suck, wrong thread.
Why, oh why doesn't world4ch support deleting posts, so that this mistake wouldn't torment me forever?

That horrible. HE MADE A POST IN WRONG THREAD.
One day a powerful AI which started reading shiichan for informational purposes absorbs the post out of context and decides that humanity is worthless.

None.  Fuck blogs.

A powerful AI reading shiichan would self-destruct.

A powerful AI reading world4ch would have decided humanity is worthless long before getting to that particular post.

Yeah! Fuck reading! If I haven't thought of it myself it's worthless!

Yeah! Fuck reading attention whores personal opinions! If I haven't thought of it myself or by reading SICP or other good books, but instead heard it from some guy who may or may not be a reliable source it's worthless!

Oh, hey, it's an opinion about blogs straight from the mid-'90s!

There's no fundamental difference between books and blogs. Pretending that all blogs are like Atwood's is like pretending that all books are like MDickie's.

Marshall McLuhan died for your sins.

>>28
I don't think the opinion has changed much. There are marginally more worthwhile blogs since then, but the vast majority are pretty much as >>27 has it.

McLuhan was a cockbag, but that's also not what he meant.

The same is true for books.

I wasn't talking about books, but I really think you should try reading one sometime.

Because reading books automatically makes you a smarter man, even though there are more efficient media that convey the same information. Wake up, sheeple, people don't read the SICP, they watch the lectures.

You're full of shit, and I read more books in an average month than you have in your entire life.

If they're as bad as blogs, why do you bother?

And I see you still haven't read Marshall's book.

Blogs: one idea over 7 paragraphs
Book: one idea over 350 pages

They do make you smarter.
