I was tempted to answer the title with "domainname checks out", but that wouldn't do hackernews any justice. Although imho it seems really random what makes it to the frontpage i agree that there is always an interesting mix of blog posts, news articles and technical content. Maybe it also depends on the time of the day (different audiences active, having a slightly different taste)?
