Probably Done Before is a personal blog at merrigrove.blogspot.com about programming, data and math. Since 2010, 5 different Hacker News readers have linked it 9 times, most often “Visualizing Docker Containers and Images”. The last post was in 2015, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for a visualization of how filesystems work, and for a follow-up article on relations that one commenter found really good for its concrete example of projection.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionThe followup article ( http://merrigrove.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-occultation-of-re... ) is really good, too. I particularly liked the concrete example of the "projection".
