Hacker News with Generative AI: Visualization

A Visual Journey Through Async Rust (github.com/alexpusch)
I'm a visual and experimental learner. To truly understand something, I need to tinker with it and see it run with my own eyes. To truly understand async execution, I want to visualize it. What order are things happening in? Do concurrent futures affect each other? How do tasks and threads relate? Plotting network calls or file system operations is boring. Let's draw something.

Making of the New York and Erie Railroad Organizational Diagram (c82.net)
Org charts tend to be a rather boring affair—with their lists of names and who reports to whom—but they didn’t start out that way. One of the first in American business, is a stunning portrait of a classic institution—the New York and Erie Railroad. Drawn in 1855 and only rediscovered in recent decades, this diagram captured my attention and I finally took the time to recreate it from scratch as a fun technical exercise.
