about me
Personal blog · thelig.htprogrammingsystems
about me is a personal blog at thelig.ht about programming and systems. Since 2014, 15 different Hacker News readers have linked it 22 times, most often “I Don't Use Exceptions in C++ Anymore”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (4) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link thelig.ht for its minimalist, stagit-generated git repository pages and a page on Chladni patterns in code. Comments mostly discuss the site's setup rather than its writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 4 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
Googling a bit of the stylesheet suggests that it's stagit, a static page generator for git repos: https://codemadness.org/stagit.html Contrast these two pages, and you'll see it's a match: https://codemadness.org/git/bmf/log.html https://thelig.ht/code/block-tracing/log.html

HN discussionAnyone know how they're hosting their repositories? https://thelig.ht/code/ is actually kind of nice and minimalist; I was hoping to set up the same thing, mostly just for kicks.
