For the main page: 1) Anything which has high number of votes and moderate amount of comments is a good technical post. 2) Anything with high number of votes and more or less equal (or higher) amount of comments is a controversial post. 3) Anything with very high votes and a few comments is a very niche tech post I generally keep an eye on. For everything else, I just keep an eye on my favurite topics: Emulation, Systems Level Programming, Gamedev There are some posts which do not cross 100 Mark, but still seem to be gold.
