HN is still a good resource, but I wish spending my time reading what real people have to say, even if i disagree. A lot of articles there are about subjects, or written by “entities” that are not on my radar.
lobste.rs is my favourite hn alternative, but considerably smaller. At least people there are more civil, and being part of the site for a few years made me feel part of community, as i already (virtually) know some of the people there, and appreciate their opinions.
Still, nothing beats the “curation” of content you can achieve by maintaining your own RSS feeds list.
A true C hax0r puts everything in one line, and doesn’t peform any sanity checks!
#include
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int count = 1, t;
char *p, c = 0;
for (char c = *(p = argv[1]); *p; p++, t=(c==*p), ((!t) ? printf("%c%d",c,count):0), count = t ? (count+1) : 1, c=t?c:*p);
return 0;
}
It’s amazing the person who has the blog is only 18 years old, and he is writing about very abstract concepts. I am following him since he was 16, and I see a lot of potential in there.
Also, I don’t agree with some of the points he raised there, but hey, when I was 18 (or 16) I was far away from his level of understanding. Things started to click for me when I was in my early 20s, not 16.
