Ian Johnson writes enja, a personal blog at enja.org about programming and data. Since 2010, 4 different Hacker News readers have linked it 10 times. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked in a WebGL thread about a browser particle demo, where one commenter quotes a post on Flash versus standalone particle performance. The comment only notes the behaviour as interesting.
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?
From the 1.4M page: "On my OsX toy the difference between flash on browser and standalone is insane. 200 000-300 000 particles is pretty much the maximum until it won’t run smooth anymore. I wonder if this is memory related thing? or what? Who knows? Someone from Adobe might… Well anyways. Here’s the same thing exploding 1.4 million particles in 1920×1200 resolution with smooth 60fps." Interesting behavior. On that…

HN discussionI get so enraged when hearing these stories. It is no different from extortion, and now I hear that you can be sued for libel for calling it that? I wrote a blog post the last time there was an HN thread on this calling to action: http://enja.org/2011/07/09/the-software-patent-racket-what-d... I'd love feedback and ideas
