Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
The linked posts cover practical developer setup: terminal completion notifications, Windows toast notifications from WSL, and Emacs glasses-mode for showing identifier underscores. Commenters cite them as how-to references.
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?
For Ubuntu/Gnome users, you can substitute `notify-send` for `terminal-notifier`, as linked.[1] For WSL users, you can substitute a powershell call to BurntToast[2] [1] https://gitlab.com/victor-engmark/tilde/-/commit/1fc8b9f6ab0... [2] https://codelearn.me/2019/01/13/wsl-windows-toast.html

HN discussionThis is actually possible with glasses-mode in Emacs: https://codelearn.me/2025/02/24/emacs-glasses-mode.html I think it sees very little usage though.

on “Beagle, a source code management system that stores AST trees”My workaround was a editing a font with a much longer space char and with a 1/3 of a space of left padding on uppercase letters. https://github.com/ericfortis/verdanacamel The problem is that it looses tabular alignment, so I wrote an IDE plugin for tabularizing some blocks. https://github.com/ericfortis/tabular-eye --- Similar to my font, emacs has a plugin that adds a little underscore. https://codelearn.me/2025/0…
