It's Actors All The Way Down is a personal blog at dalnefre.com about programming and systems. Since 2010, 7 different Hacker News readers have linked it 8 times, most often “Memory Safety Simplifies Microprocessor Design”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Dale Nefre's blog for its writing on actor-based systems, including memory safety and operating system design, and for the Humus pure actor-based programming language.
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?
Just think about the new kind of OS one could make when the computing system is built entirely of low-level actors. uFork [1] is a promising example, and has clear motivations [2]. [1] https://github.com/organix/uFork [2] http://www.dalnefre.com/wp/2022/08/memory-safety-simplifies-...

HN discussionDid you check out the author's "pure actor-based programming language", Humus? (It's not easy to notice, as he only mentioned it once, and white-on-bright-blue isn't easy to read.) http://www.dalnefre.com/wp/humus/
