Sorry-- this is totally unrelated and maybe even inappropriate-- but how do people sort through 300+ comments on HN to consume a topic? I understand that /. introduces bias with its system, but I honestly find myself abandoning alot of deeper HN threads because it's so difficult to parse all the comments. Perhaps I'm missing something.
- sixstringtheory 5y agoIf by “consume” you mean “acquire the contents” of all those comments, well, you’ll have to read them all. A more interesting question to me for a while has been, how to follow the evolution of a deep thread in which the time it takes to read a larger amount of comments, even more are made. How to know where all the new ones are? It’d be cool to be able to diff a thread based on timestamp.
