Arthur Carcano writes Arthur::Carcano, a personal blog at ngr.yt about programming and math. Since 2019, 6 different Hacker News readers have linked it 9 times, most often “Exception safety in Rust: using transient droppers to prevent memory leaks”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2025-10-01, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (4) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for its Kalman filter derivation, offered as an alternative to other Kalman filter tutorials. Commenters also cite a post on learning and teaching programming.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 4 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
