Ask HN: Share Your Personal Site
I have a blog[0], I write stuff. I don't have a job yet but I blog about my personal life and on technical problems, feelings, and stuff.
I also have a website with other things here and there [5].
The blog itself is literally a git repository, browsable here[1]. Whenever I push, it runs a git hook that executes build commands. The blog is composed of markdown files.
All the blog can be rebuilt by following the instructions and is meant to be as platform-agnostic as possible, meaning you could host it under any webserver under any path, links are relative, etc.
The blog system I use is blogit [2]; originally created by Pedantic software but has been heavily modified by yours truly[4]. Under the hood it's literally a makefile, unix `sed,grep,etc` to make tagging and other static stuff. It uses the markdown parser discount[3] to parse markdown into html. It is fully static and you can deploy it and just put a simple python http server on it. I use lighttpd, because I have some services set up.

Rule of Thumb: Anything that looks fancy is not worth you time
- Ads with Psychological tricks
Truly good websites have around 2 facts per 10 word sentence, and get instantly to the chase. Also: good websites give you the names of all their competitors/alternative websites before showing their own stuff, and give you further reading.
Right now the world of technology is supposedly more innovative than ever, but somehow Wikipedia (https://www.wikipedia.org/) and Search Hackernews (https://hn.algolia.com/) beat billion dollar search engines.
Articles written decades ago are still unsurpassed in terms of quality and ease of understanding, but the best modern websites can do is textbook explanations. It is time society graduates from boilerplate buzzword textbook culture.
Now the gems of the internet are slowly being buried beneath mountains of trash.
If something sounds boilerplate it isn't good enough.
Don't bother saying something that has been said before, and better.

What makes a translation great
>for more detail: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...
Oh, I see. We actually discussed Pound about four years ago - just a little back and forth about the ABC of Reading: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24196681
>What's your explanation of why Pound went Fascist?
I'm not sure I particularly have one; I haven't read any of his longer political or cultural (i.e. non-literary) works. I just think it's silly to correlate an approach to translation that you dislike with fascism. Especially as I'm not sure it even makes sense on its own terms: I can only read your comment as 'lazy translator? Figures that he would be a fascist', but if I imagine the type of translation a fascist would approve of, the approach I picture is fastidious, fussy, concerned with fidelity to the point of stickler-ishness. (Isn't that from where we get 'grammar nazi'?)
And oh, well, since you ask I'll take a shy at it: my vague sense is that he became fascist because saw a society in decline due to it becoming more and more a sham society: opulence without virtue, power without vigour, money no longer tied to actually existing goods. (Of course, all of this shades easily into antisemitism.) He saw fascism as the answer; It's easier to see in retrospect that it wasn't.

Zed Decoded: Linux When? – Zed Blog
"multiplayer notepad" goes back 15 years at least - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... notepad&sort=byDate&type=comment
it was used back with a popular website which opened a text document and anyone viewing could type, but I can't remember the name. That became a thing in Google Docs, Microsoft Office, Floobits, and lots of self-hosted and cloned sites.

Ok, but please don't post unsubstantive comments to Hacker News.
I understand the reason for repeating these sentiments—it's the same reason why they get upvoted to the top of threads*—but repetition of this kind is what we're most trying to avoid here.

Show HN: Hacker Search – A semantic search engine for Hacker News
yeah there are only three stories coming up from the site search
https://hn.algolia.com/?q=postgres+clustering
only one is semanthically correct, the other pick up the wrong version of clustering (i.e. k-means instead of multi master writes)
but yeah if one doesn't test the hard cases, how does one know it preserves semantics :D
