Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Personal blog by Göktuğ Kayaalp. One commenter links an Emacs and Lisp post ("emacs-argument") as evidence about the author's Lisp interests. No comment comments on the writing itself.
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.

HN discussionThe best cure to this problem is nREPL. It basically is an REPL server. There are plugins for Emacs (nrepl) and vim (vim-fireplace). With these tools, one may start a user repl and run tests within that. I have written a humble guide to set up Emacs for clojure here: http://gkayaalp.com/2014/01/28/taste-clojure.html#emacs My emacs configuration repository is gone thought; I'm using vim these days. A JVM with smaller…

HN discussionI've been blogging with org-publish for a while, but I switched to a Ruby script instead [1]. I'd not recommend using org-publish for this, because it's slow, and it's hard to add new posts. It's nice for static projects (say like a bunch of PDFs or some documentation maybe), but it does not lend itself to a more dynamic thing like a blog (dynamic in the sense that you want to add new pages rather frequently). Apply…

HN discussionhttps://darksky.net/ née forecast.io. I find the forecasts to be accurate for me. I've actually written an Emacs frontend to their service when it was forecast.io: http://www.gkayaalp.com/emacs.html#forecast.el . They let you make 1000 requests per day for free. On mobile I just go to their website through a bookmark.

HN discussionI know this is controversial but the default html layout is what most people need. You can use markdown or org mode etc. to generate it. One improvement may be centering the content on bigger displays, which I do for my blog with two @media rules as follows: https://www.gkayaalp.com/style.css

HN discussionThe best interactive environment I've ever used (and still use) is an Emacs buffer with an associated inferior process. The default keybindings for Ruby mode interaction with inferior-ruby are a bit lacking, I have made a couple customisations for myself that can be helpful: https://www.gkayaalp.com/gk.html#orgf0bce87 .

on “Fir: A Friendly, Interactive Ruby REPL”Tabs are ephemeral. I just lost all my tabs after restarting Firefox to free up some memory, even though I set it up to restore them: https://www.gkayaalp.com/blog/20180326_quitting-firefox.html . Be careful using them. This is probably the weirdest HN post that gave me glistening eyes...
