Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN commenters link Romailler's cryptography posts, including a write-up on an EdDSA fault issue and a guide to modulo bias, when discussing signature schemes and non-uniform random numbers.
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.
This is my private website, you'll find here a few blog posts and my contact information.
What Hacker News says?

HN discussionThe blog post doesn't mention the term, but what it describes is commonly known as a "modulo bias" in cryptography. See also: https://romailler.ch/2020/07/28/crypto-modulo_bias_guide/
