Too few sampled comments (5) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN comments link to its Linked Data writing (Linked Data Notifications), a post on Tufte's 1+1=3 idea for visualization, a note on Twitter markup in Google, and early IE6 CSS fixes. None praise or criticise the posts.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 5 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
There is an ocean of CSS that mimic off the shelf LaTeX or journal-specific layouts. They're almost entirely one-off attempts depend on a particular HTML structure to have the CSS work. Introducing new CSS layouts to work on the same HTML generally doesn't work well. In https://dokie.li/ , HTML is key - semantic and sufficiently "flexible". CSS is secondary. That is why we can generally throw different CSS at it wit…

HN discussionTufte points out 1 + 1 is 3 or more visually. The two lines create two elements, then the space is another, then the space on either is potentially another. http://csarven.ca/one-plus-one-equals-three-or-more These textures are noisy. There can be occasions to use textures, but these examples would work just as well with shades of gray.

HN discussionI urge you to dig a little deeper and see why things like `prefix`, `exact`, `suffix` exists in that particular example: https://www.w3.org/TR/selectors-states/#TextQuoteSelector_de... Please note that you've actually changed the example! If you just want to include `exact` or "targetText", you can still do: http://csarven.ca/dokieli-rww#selector(type=TextQuoteSelecto... or equivalent: http://csarven.ca/dokieli-rww#…

on “Open-source self-hosted comments systems for static websites”Chris: Thanks for including the link to your paper[1] in the README. I saved it in my Zotero library and am looking forward to reading it. Do you have any thoughts or experience with literate programming? What about the role of Docable, versus choosing PDF as the medium for your own paper, versus something like this[2] sort of thing? 1. http://chrisparnin.me/pdf/docable_FSE_20.pdf 2. https://csarven.ca/this-paper-is…

on “Docable: Literate Runbooks and Interactive Tutorials from Markdown”w3schools is not an authority and has no affiliation with the w3c. With that said though, I see your point. I still stand by the fact that Google should be the one to parse this information and Twitter shouldn't be preparing it specifically for Google. Similar to how some YahooSearchMonkey developers are doing it with yahoo: http://csarven.ca/temp/ysm_serp-07.png http://identi.ca/notice/2691626
