HN content hasn't been purely news in my experience, there is a lot of interesting content that is submitted that isn't new, nor does it fit it in the "news" category. Many well thought, well written essays end up on the front page and recieve many upvotes, even if they were written years ago.
- amichail 16y agoYes, but HN is implemented for news and doesn't handle submissions of long term interest properly. Moreover, the name "Hacker News" encourages mostly news submissions.
