Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Mosè Giordano's posts for a Julia rock-paper-scissors code explanation and a hexadecimal formula for pi's digits. Commenters cite them as references on those topics.
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.

What Hacker News says?
I found https://giordano.github.io/blog/2017-11-03-rock-paper-scisso... to be a pretty good attempt at that. Of course, the code's elegance will probably not be immediately evident to a beginner, but a link to the full explanation could suffice to complement that.

HN discussionI tried it on the digits of pi: 3,1,4,1,5,9,2,6,... but alas ... In hexadecimal, it also didn't work, though there is this formula: https://giordano.github.io/blog/2017-11-21-hexadecimal-pi/
