I wish HN had a filtering system. I don't know why each of his blog posts makes it all they way to the top — I don't find them that insightful or interesting. I would much rather read about software & hacking.
Or is there a JavaScript solution? Has someone implemented a HN filter?
- jkossen 16y agoAgreed, it seems as if Hacker News has become Jacques' RSS Feed
- 18pfsmt 16y agoI have a built-in filter that allows me to scroll past links that I don't like.
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y ago> I would much rather read about software & hacking. Cool - I'd like to read about those things too. Did you upvote the three things on software and hacking that I submitted in the past week or so? Have you submitted any that I could upvote? > Or is there a JavaScript solution? > Has someone implemented a HN filter? If you're into software and hacking, perhaps you could provide one for us. And to more-or-less answer your question, HN was originally "Startup News" and has always had a bent towards startups. It was widened to "Hacker News," but it still retains that bias. Strict hacking isn't hitting the majority audience, it's still heavily slanted towards the startup scene, and things that interest people who do, or want to do, startups. That's why Jacques' posts are interesting to people - they are the musings and observations of someone who has started and runs several software and web based businesses. Hence they resonate with the majority audience. But I'd be happy to see and promote anything you post about software and hacking. Where's your blog?
