Ask HN: List of Hacker Blogs?
I'm playing around with memetrackers and looking for interesting "scenes" to create trackers for. I've rolled a few so far with interesting results and would like to make one for hacker blogs (blogs written by hackers).
Usually, I surf around and pull sites from blogrolls. And I'll do that here, but who's got the best blogrolls for these sorts of blogs?
Also, if you're a hacker and have a blog, feel free to post your RSS feed URL below. It takes about 30 minutes to make a new tracker once I've got all the feeds together. If it turns out to be interesting, I'll share the URL on here to see what you all think.

- PStamatiou 18y agoI'd love to plug my blog here - I've touched on coding a few times but it's generally tech with a dabbling of what's up with my startup here and there and problems we have/how i get around them. http://paulstamatiou.com http://paulstamatiou.com
- timcederman 18y agoAhh, you're the source of the "German keyboard" Apple repair story. Saw that linked on the Consumerist the other week.
- evdawg 18y agolol-- isn't your blog banned from digg?
- matt1 18y agomattmazur.com, updated every now and then :)
- ricardo 18y agoSteve Yegge's essays are a great read: http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/ http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/
- cperciva 18y agoMy blog (a combination of tarsnap, FreeBSD, and general computer security): http://www.daemonology.net/blog/ http://www.daemonology.net/blog/
- PStamatiou 18y agobookmarked your site when tarsnap beta came out/was on HN. Skimmed it briefly bit but honestly couldn't figure out how tarsnap worked so I tagged it "toread" and left it at that. ;-P Will go back through your archives now.
- cperciva 18y agohonestly couldn't figure out how tarsnap worked Tell me more -- what was unclear?
- PStamatiou 18y agoI remember wondering if it was a local thing that I had to pay for or if it was some cloud like service that I pay for and upload to..
- cperciva 18y agoTarsnap is a backup service -- you pay to store your backups on it. And thanks for replying; knowing what people find unclear will make my life much easier when I write all the text for the tarsnap website. :-)
- PStamatiou 18y agoyeah i gotcha. when I first heard about it I wasn't sure if it was more a security tool or a backup tool, and/or how it compared to my current S3 setup.

- tlrobinson 18y agoSomeone should scrape all the blog URLs from our news.yc profiles.
- toby 18y agoI'll add mine here, I try not to participate in blog noise and only write about things I've actually, so it might not be so interesting for memetracking: http://blog.kiwitobes.com/ http://blog.kiwitobes.com/
- randomwalker 18y agoI wonder if you could generate this automatically. Let me explain where I'm coming from. I made the Theory of Computing Blog Aggregator (http://feedworld.net/toc http://feedworld.net/toc), and part of the reason I didn't set up more aggregators with the software was that you need domain-knowledge to create the blogrolls. My idea was that you could start from 2 or 3 "seeds" on a given topic, find which blogs they are linking to, filter them by pagerank or technorati rank or whatever, and use an off-the-shelf machine learning tool to determine if they are on the same topic. I never got around to it; other projects I'm working on took up all of my time. But if you can build this intelligence, you can create aggregators/memetrackers/whatever for an unlimited number of topics. And further create communities around each one and so on. If someone wants to collaborate on this idea, let me know. P.S. To build my aggregator, I started off with planet planet (http://www.planetplanet.org/ http://www.planetplanet.org/), but made a bunch of improvements like automatic comment import. There is an unreleased version with a lot more features (including a google reader-like UI) that I will be happy to show anyone who's interested.
- brandnewlow 18y agoIn a perfect world, that's exactly how I'd do it, too. Right now though, I'm still working out the bugs on how to get the mix of sources right and make the presentation interesting. Machine learning is being applied to which sources make the front page and lead the memes, based on clicks from readers. Ideally, the "picking up" of sources would also be automated as well.

- jrockway 18y agoFeel free to add my blog, http://blog.jrock.us http://blog.jrock.us, to your reading list. It is usually about Perl or Lisp, and I try to keep it instructional instead of "omg this is shiny" or "why I hate $programming_language_foo". Some of that creeps in from time to time, and I apologize in advance :)
