Writing about data science, own projects and tech in general. You will also find some „today I learned“ posts where I share stuff that I found out while studying and working.

My blogging/journalling setup is simple.

I just use GitHub. I just rely on the default repository view on GitHub.com

I create a README.md and add markdown headings to the bottom or to the top (bottom if its a journal, top if it's a blog) and then when I get to 100-800 I create a new repository and repeat.

Thanks for posting this Ask HN question.

I journal ideas and thoughts about computers and software. I am interested in software architecture, parallelism, async, coroutines, database internals, programming language implementation, software design and the web.

https://github.com/samsquire/ideas4 <-- this is recent but needs editing

https://github.com/samsquire/ideas5 <-- this is what I'm working on now

https://github.com/samsquire/startups

https://github.com/samsquire/blog <-- thoughts I want to write about, but incomplete

I use README.md on GitHub and create a heading at the bottom for each entry. I use Typora on Windows or the GitHub web interface to edit.

Thanks for this.

I love the idea of breaking up a flow into separately scheduled but still linear message flow.

I wrote about a similar idea in ideas2

https://github.com/samsquire/ideas2#84-communication-code-sl...

The idea is that I enrich my code with comments and a transpiler schedules different parts of the code to different machines and inserts communication between blocks.

I read about how Zookeeper algorithm for transactionality and robustness to messages being dropped, which is interesting reading.

How does Mats compare?

LMAX disruptor has a pattern where you split up each side of an IO request into two events, to avoid blocking in an handler. So you would always insert a new event to handle an IO response.

I am more likely to journal and blog if the friction to creating a post is as simple as opening a document and writing. The important part of journalling or note software is that you actually create notes. I did use Hetzner to run a Wordpress blog but it had an overhead of server expenses and keeping Wordpress up-to-date.

I don't want my data trapped in a proprietary system where it is difficult to export, so I use plaintext. I looked into Publii [1] but I prefer my current plaintext setup. Today I journal software ideas, computer ideas, startup ideas and community ideas on GitHub in the open, as README.md files. My journal is all public on GitHub at the following links. There are over 550+ journal entries, I am sure you shall enjoy them.
