Video creator here. This may have had a shot at the front page if it were an essay instead of a video. HN just doesn't like videos as a general rule.

Thank you. The video is exemplary. Fascinating concept, very well constructed and thought-through. Please, make more! I would be very keen to read an essay on the same subject too. I'd also like to write one, although I suspect my attempt might not be to the same standard.

Would have had a shot if it were documented with emacs and org-mode.

You might like jupyter emacs + :session to speed up the execution of numerous org babel code blocks. https://github.com/dzop/emacs-jupyter https://github.com/dzop/emacs-jupyter ([async.] execution via websockets)

  Thanks for the tip! I need to educate myself a bit on Jupyter kernels, and this looks like a great starting point. I love the huge amount of documentation this package has!

I saw it in the front page, fwiw.

  Indeed. It seems like there is some mechanism that gives posts a second chance at making the front page, because when I wrote that comment (around a day ago) it seemed clear it was going nowhere. It's interesting to note that the timestamps on all the comments are adjusted as part of that process.

    You're absolutely correct. The "mechanism", as I understand it, is that the mods just manually bump up threads they think are interesting and deserve a second shot at the front page. HN has quite a lot of manual curation!

    Yes, this is the second-chance mechanism described at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380 and links back from there. See also https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=by%3Adang%20%22second%20chance%22&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... And yes, we put the OP in that pool, so it got a placement on the front page. That only lasts for a few minutes, though; after that, if users don't upvote it, it will fall off. Users upvoted this one.

This is fantastic. I usually loathe youtube videos and ADD out of them after a few seconds. I watched this to the end, stopping frequently and trying out new things in org-mode. You taught me a lot, thank you very much. Do you have a favourite charity I can donate to?
