https://hn.algolia.com/?query=3d%20fractal https://hn.algolia.com/?query=3d%20fractal -> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=935241 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=935241 (Nov 2009) But unless you read HN for 5+ years without creating an account, the exact discussion you recall may be some other search result there. >mrob: the Wikipedia page is a better starting point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbulb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbulb PS. Algolia seems a bit finicky, a couple of these were on the second page of results for the first search: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=3d%20fractal%20comments%3E0&sort=byDate https://hn.algolia.com/?query=3d%20fractal%20comments%3E0&so.... I always hate how they show different results for plurals, but this is a new problem I'll keep in mind (sort by popularity doesn't work?).
