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:

fwiw, after having digested much of this material, I've moved on to reading all the interesting whitepapers I can find, mostly via my social networks. That's the really advanced stuff. I've been meaning to collect them and summarize many to post to HN. nag me.

- manveru 15y agoSorry, but neither DDG nor Google know about the term "swegr", what does it stand for?
- count 15y agoGiven context, 'software engineering', I would assume. Strange way to write it though...
- rhubarbquid 15y agoAt first, I assumed it was some programming language I had never heard of ;-)
- sparky 15y agoSoftWare EnGineeRing.
- skrebbel 15y agoAh. Around here we've always always called that poing. For "PrOgrammING"
- Tyrannosaurs 15y agoTwo fantastic ways of saving a few characters at the expense of clarity...
- atomicdog 15y agoI'd hate to see this guy's variable naming convention :O
- nait 15y agoUsing random characters you're lucky you didn't use the first, third, fifth and tenth character as a "descriptive" term. ;) And a bit on topic even though it's not a blog. How about "The Bug of the Month" of the makers of lint? http://www.gimpel.com/html/bugs.htm http://www.gimpel.com/html/bugs.htm A bit obscure but definately broadens the pool of error behavior concepts.
- DallaRosa 15y agoYeah, it's software engineering given the context but it also could how the kids write swagger these days ;)
- wyclif 15y agoMe too. I'd never seen "swegr" before.
- jwallaceparker 15y agoTo 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.
- patfla 15y agoI came here with the thought of adding John Cook's blog but I see the name already. Second the recommendation.
- HeyItsDiogenes 15y agoSebastian Marshall? The liar who claimed to jump-kick gangsters? Hahahahahahahahaahaha
- lionhearted 15y agoHi. I'm Sebastian, and I don't lie very often, certainly not about ridiculous stuff. You're conflating two stories: 1. I had a mugging attempt in a bad part of Saigon (by the slums by the river after exploring) and I kicked one of the muggers in the stomach and shouted at the other. 2. I got into a shouting match with a gangster in a McDonald's who had been yelling at the employees and spat on the floor, and was otherwise being a jackass. I told him to knock it off, a shouting match ensued, and later two police officers came, one with riot gear. The closest I ever came to jumpkicking was when I got into a fight in a brothel when they tried to shake me down for extra cash afterwards. I kicked one of the guys after he grabbed me roughly. But even then, I didn't jumpkick - that's more of a movies thing than a real life thing. Anyways, I can understand your skepticism, though the rudeness is unnecessary - you could just ask if you wanted details.
