"Parsing: a timeline" <http://jeffreykegler.github.io/Ocean-of-Awareness-blog/individual/2014/09/chron.html> is now my most popular blog post ever, and yesterday was the busiest day on my website ever. It's a surprise hit, because it's also the most technical post I've ever dared put on the blog, and because it contains no examples of code. Absence of a code example in the past has been pretty much a sure-fire indicator that, however highly I think of a post, it is doomed to sink to the bottom without a ripple.

I think its secret may be that every line actually contains a lot of work -- some of the observations are the result of months working with a particular algorithm. I've studied parsing on and off since 1971, and have done so full-time for the past 7 years, and perhaps readers sense the thought and effort behind each short phrase.
