Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers cite this blog's cyberdecks post, which compares the Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7 line drawing with the TI-99/4A. One comment also gives a C++ and object-oriented reading list. The comments do not judge 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.
Hello everyone, welcome to my blog. I am a Czech Python programmer, so this blog is a lot about Programming, but also about Philosophy, 3D modeling, Technological marvels, and all the magic I can find in the world.
