Ewin Tang's personal blog at ewintang.com covers science and programming. Since 2021, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 3 times. It is still writing: the last post was on 2025-04-22, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Ewin Tang's blog and site for her work on quantum computing and classical algorithms, including her thesis and a 2019 overview post. Comments cite these as sources rather than praising the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

on “Major Quantum Computing Advance Made Obsolete by Teenager (2018)”You should be very skeptical of all those applications except Shor. HHL: Here's a quote from Ewin Tang [1]: "We know that quantum computers can “efficiently solve” high-dimensional linear algebra problems; however, this assumes that we have some way to evolve a quantum system precisely according to input data, a much harder problem than the linear algebra itself."
