Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

Linked in one comment as a reference on Node.js conventions, such as using require(), in a discussion of how the Apple Machine Learning Journal site appears to be built.

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?

  1. It looks like some Node.js static site generator. - The URL structure doesn't seem to be dynamic. For instance, https://machinelearning.apple.com/2017/ doesn't give a list of all articles from 2017, just a response of "Not found" (at least it gives a 404 error, so that's nice). - The js files make extensive use of `require()` which is often used by Node.js developers http://fredkschott.com/post/2014/06/require-and-t…
