Fred Benenson's personal blog at fredbenenson.com covers programming and data. Since 2009, 4 different Hacker News readers have linked it 17 times. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-03-11, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Fred Benenson's blog for a digital-forensics post on the history of a New York Hardcore-era building and the Rancid "Time Bomb" video location, and a 2026 post on SendGrid and ICE.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
Anyone interested in both NYHC and HN would be into this if they haven't seen it (I'm sure it's been posted here before): the history of the old Kickstarter office, which is across the street from ABC No Rio, and is also the location of the Rancid "Time Bomb" video. http://fredbenenson.com/2014/01/19/digital-forensics-rancid-...
