xnacly is a personal blog at xnacly.me about programming and systems. Since 2022, 11 different Hacker News readers have linked it 89 times, most often “Porting a Segmented List from C to Rust”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-10-10, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
The comments mention only the site's red Google banner, a Linux power-user guide that has moved, and a complaint about another blog's navigation. None judge the writing. The linked posts appear to cover a Google acquisition and Linux tips.
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.
A blog all around tech, programming and whatever im currently interested in
