Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for programming and cryptography explainers, such as its RSA posts. Comments also mention its JavaScript function invocation patterns post in a debate about design patterns.
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.

What Hacker News says?
For a hot minute this post was right above this post. http://doctrina.org/Javascript-Function-Invocation-Patterns.... Had to giggle a little over this silly discussion of FP and are there design patterns or not. A strategy is the same intent whether you use a enclosed function or an anonymous object as the strategy. Remember the old computer programmer adage. Objects are the poor man's closure, and closures are the…

HN discussionIf you're not that familiar with RSA you might want to start with http://doctrina.org/How-RSA-Works-With-Examples.html But if you've been working through Matasano's challenges and were confused why encryption and decryption seem to be commutative, or why the totient - (p-1)*(q-1) - is used, then equation (1) of the main link could well be the revelation you have been searching for.
