John Murray's personal blog at johnmurray.io covers programming and career. Since 2012, 5 different Hacker News readers have linked it 23 times, most often “Realtime event-tracking with FnordMetric (HowTo)”. The last post was in 2017, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked for log posts on ideas and science, such as 'Nothing is Interesting' (2013) and a piece tying P=NP to the quantum nature of the universe. Commenters question the site's lack of comments and the P=NP argument.
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.

HN discussionI don't understand the connection made here, because calculating the quantum state is NP-hard and is very time consuming, the object cannot exist in the universe? How is that preventing the macroscopic system from existing? How does the complexity class have anything to do with the real world? For example, a shortest path problem in the real world does not have any use for complexity theory: http://www.johnmurray.io…
