Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for Higher Order Ruby and its free book, along with unofficial translated example companions in other languages, and for a post on Ruby 1.9 character encodings.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
The Ruby programming blog of James Edward Gray II (JEG2). Any content of interest to Rubyists specifically, or developers in general, is fair game.

on “Why my book can be downloaded for free”I'm not a ruby developer but the actual problem seems to be the default file encoding. There is a detailed blog post[1] about it, adding a lot more to understanding what's happening. More than a blog post about how a diary entry as a commit message made somebody feel.
