Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

HN readers link this blog's glassery post as a reference on lenses and optics, cited as covering the standard ones. The comment also points to a paper with a table of more exotic optics.

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?

  1. There are infinitely many, so all is out, but the standard ones are covered here: https://oleg.fi/gists/posts/2017-04-18-glassery.html Page 10 of this paper has a table with references to some more exotic optics, though it's going to be hard to parse without some category theory: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2001.07488.pdf
