Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for its post on Fourier series and spinning-circle animations, which explains the technique behind drawings made by rotating circles. The comments cite it as a reference rather than praising the writing.
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 discussionCan’t edit and leave a note on my original post(too much time elapsed), but I want to acknowledge I have read the replies informing me that chromebooks have changed since i got one several years ago, and that they now do some of these things and have a beta command line.
