outerproduct.net is a personal blog at outerproduct.net about programming and systems. Since 2021, 14 different Hacker News readers have linked it 25 times, most often “No one should use the AT&T syntax (2021)”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (5) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN commenters link outerproduct.net for technical posts on hash table lookups, x86 assembly syntax, lock-free queues, futexes, and CPU and compiler topics, often with interleaving visualizations. The comments are bare links or pointers and do not judge the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 5 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionQuestion: do people find that sort of animation easier to grok than showing the interleaving visually, as I do at https://outerproduct.net/boring/2023-01-27_trans-locks.html#... ? I prefer the latter, because it lets me see everything at once, but may switch to the former presentation style if other people prefer it.
