barrucadu's memos is a personal blog at memo.barrucadu.co.uk about programming and systems. Since 2018, 10 different Hacker News readers have linked it 11 times, most often “C is not Turing-complete (2018)”. The last post was in 2022, but the archive is still widely read.

Why HN links it
Commenters link this personal memo site for posts on Go and Haskell, a Trello setup for to-dos and chores, and a later post admitting to dismissing non-Haskell languages. The comments only cite the posts.
