Olsgaard is a personal blog at olsgaard.dk about programming and data. Since 2016, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 4 times. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (4) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN commenters link Olsgaard's posts on making matplotlib plots monochrome for black-and-white printing, using hatches and colour cycles. One thread also discusses the site's domain name.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 4 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
During my graduate degree, I was looking into phonetic search, and a lot of the papers I stumbled across were using an expanded version of soundex called Phonix[1] as their basis of new algorithms. However, I had a lot of trouble finding an implementation I could use, so I implemented it in Python. After that I build a search engine programme that would look up swear words that were phonetically similar to input ter…

on “Soundex – a phonetic algorithm for indexing names by sound”When doing my master thesis, I wanted my plots to be printable on a black and white printer in case my professor would print or photocopy it (you never know) I wrote up a blogpost about my findings on how to generate monochrome plots. I haven’t really used matplotlibs since my thesis days, but it’s kinda funny to see what my thoughts back then were on the interface. I found the OO interface a necessary evil and that…

on “Matplotlib Gallery”I didn't see anything about hatches in your link, which was surprising, since that is basically what you are saying is missing in ggplot. I too was in need of monochrome for my thesis, and did a write-up for how to handle this in matplotlib by using hatches and cycles http://olsgaard.dk/monochrome-black-white-plots-in-matplotli...

on “Ggplot2 2.2.0 coming soon”Maybe you should set http://xn--lsgaard-p1a.dk/ to redirect to http://olsgaard.dk/ Why do most Danes use Ø or Æ in their names, but not Å? (The chance of HN recognizing the first URL as a URL? 1%? ... Oh, it converted ølsgaard.dk to Punycode.)
