114 points by pauljarvis ↗ HN
This thread on Twitter took off (https://twitter.com/pjrvs/status/1176945769598705664), so I'm curious to ask the same question on HN.

I don't know which aspect for the "best" you mean, if you meant best on monetary gain by reading their articles, definitely https://kalzumeus.com (HN user patio11)

"best" is however you define the term :)

he encourages people to write to him -- has anyone?

I wanna write to him about a Startup idea I have, to see if i can ask him some questions and see what he says about the potential of it. That be ok right?

I wrote him an email once and his reply was gracious and very helpful.

I've been digging on a lot of Observable notebooks lately. Having code and visualization and description so neatly presented together makes for a powerful presentation.

I'll just link to Bostock's, but there are many other informative and enlightening ones. This will only get better ;)

Ignoring the two kinds of jquery, you're loading JavaScript to your non-TLS website without TLS?

And loading your analytics (quantcast) with inline scripts on a non-TLS page?

That's kinda asking for a MITM attack, isn't it?

i think simply googling for blogs and the topic you want will be enough.

Seths.blog because he has written daily for 20 years, and aaronparecki.com because his blog is a manifestation of IndieWeb ideas (open decentralized comments, likes, mentions, etc.)

I like Scott Alexander's Slate Star Codex (yep, it's an anagram of his name). He talks mostly about science, religion and social issues, often with a pleasant reading and a comment section filled with good discussions.

He balances it out by putting an N in the logo. (serious answer)

I think Dan Luu's website is kind of cool [0] because visually there's no frills, just content.
