It is. There's a lot more than hacker news on here. And the rules aren't always followed, which makes it a bit more social-media-y, but the mods do a great job keeping it tidy. I guess there is more non-hacker news stuff appearing because it gets a little tedious to see "New programming language X" or "CSS tricks you never heard of" every week.
