Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for posts on compression codecs, such as LZSSE, an LZ codec designed for SSE decompression. One commenter points to a follow-up comparing its variants on text and high-compression data.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
If you're interested in results, it's also worth reading the follow-up which show that on equal footings LZSSE8 is a more general choice than LZSSE2 which works well on text and in high compression scenarios ( http://conorstokes.github.io/compression/2016/02/24/compress... ).
