Francisco Blanco-Silva's personal blog at blancosilva.github.io covers math and programming. Since 2015, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 5 times, most often “Computational Geometry in Python”. The last post was in 2018, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link these posts on computer graphics and computational geometry in Python, including a TikZ note on drawing graphs. One commenter calls the computational geometry post a great starting point.
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.
Useless math is useful math. It can be used to generate more useless math.

quick note on the first link...I think graphs are done using tikz: http://blancosilva.github.io/post/2010/12/12/using-tikz-as-a...

HN discussionIf anyone wants to play around with Computational Geometry and Python, I'd recommend as a great starting point: http://blancosilva.github.io/post/2014/10/28/Computational-G... Also, Apress has a cool book about Python and graphics with some pretty intense source code found here: https://github.com/Apress/python-graphics
