Personal blog · myownfortune.wordpress.comprogrammingwriting
My Own Fortune is a personal blog at myownfortune.wordpress.com about programming and writing. Since 2012, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 7 times. The last post was in 2017, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link it for posts on programming languages, JavaScript and dynamic typing, and a post on why the sine wave self-replicates. One commenter calls the older blog a source of programming and startup writing.
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.
All that's left is to make it

HN discussionMy favorite self-replicating function is the sine, and I spent some time finding it using just its very strong self-replication properties here: https://myownfortune.wordpress.com/2017/09/21/why-sine-wave/
