IMO HN sees hackers with a wide range of interests. I personally like to read anything that tickles my intellectual curiosity, from programming topics, to articles covering the current financial crisis (of which I know very little, BTW :D) [Needless to say every now and then I come across an article that introduced me to a topic that I knew nothing of, and it has subsequently found itself on my "like" list] Right now as I write this the top 3 articles on HN cover how to load a plan, an article on the current financial debacle, and the highly optimized square root calculation used by the makers of Quake. I read all three, and upvoted all three (did not comment on any). IMO I would not worry about what articles other hackers find interesting, post those that _you_ do. The voting process will separate the wheat from the chaff. After that long response, personally, I tend to like to read about the new language/technology that I have currently immersed myself in, but I tend not to post all the articles that I read to avoid making HN a www.reddit.com/r/<insert language here> clone. I think for the most part, submit what you feel is interesting, and every now and then a comment will tell you that you messed up (I know I have had a few, and have apologized for the same). Happy Posting...
