Glad you like it! Happy to answer any questions. I’ve been trying to make my writing accessible to both the HN and academic research community; let me know if you have feedback on how I can improve here

The usage of text color on this image caption is brilliant. It never occurred to me that you can do this technique to explain a diagram. Definitely love it. Will steal this technique for my own purpose.

You might enjoy articles from BetterExplained. For example: https://betterexplained.com/articles/q-why-is-e-special-2-71...

There might be an article about this specific technique.

Thanks for the pointer -- I have an article here.

If you hover any diagram, there are options for a colorblind-friendly version.

If it's for broad consumption, it's best to consider people with poor colour vision.

Thank you very much, great article indeed! The PDF download link to the article at the top of the page requires access approval though, is that the way it is supposed to be?

My bad, I updated it to fix some typos and forgot to open up sharing settings. Should be fixed.

Hmm, even in PDF form it's not possible to read this without humming the Transformers theme and putting in 'Dijkstra's in Disguise' at the relevant places.

This is very distracting.
