Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked by one commenter as a source on the VGA ROM font glyphs that the movie-style terminal effect imitates. The linked posts cover terminal visual effects and VGA fonts.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Personal website for Zeh Fernando, front-end developer. Articles about programming in HTML/JavaScript/TypeScript, Android/Java, Unity/C#, and more.
