Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Comments link a post on running cheap infrastructure on one large server, and a question about how an animated canvas page is rendered. Neither comment judges the writing.
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 discussionSame here. But I was distracted by the fact that I could not understand how they are being rendered. The js ( https://thmsmlr.com/assets/app-76652943792d609207b149d2720cc... ) seems to say that they are being drawn on canvas but the only canvas present in DOM can be deleted with the shapes still animated. Any clues as to how these are being rendered?
