While you read that blog entry, please especially enjoy the different bar lengths for identical percentages. One would guess that the SVGs were generated with Go. /s

It seems like the percentages are displayed rounded to the nearest int, and the bars show full precision.
That seems completely fine to me, really.
Probably, not obvious though. In this case, my sarcastic comment was probably too superficial.
There's probably more precision in the numbers that was cut off for readability. 12.05% vs 12.47% kinda thing.

Wow, I thought your comment was hyperbolic and then read the article. Not sure how those charts made it to production.
You first read the comments, then the article? Classy.
I only read articles if the comments merit it. I've learned 100 times more from the comments I'd say. I'd guess I read 10 comment threads to ever linked article.
The articles are a semi-random selection of what is on the internet. The comments are from the HN community, which by being part of, is almost self-selecting interesting and stimulating content for yourself.
Clickbait avoidance tactic. Entirely valid these days.
At a guess I’d say the displayed numbers are rounded while the bars are rendered using the actual numbers.
