Ask YC: If you avoid YC News for a week, how do you catch up on what you missed?

2 points by johnrob 18y ago

I always wonder what I missed after a hiatus... [edit] What I really would like is a way to catch up on any 'hacker tips' type of articles that I missed. I found several useful commands in the recent "Top 10 tips for linux admins" post; I'd hate to miss things like this in the future. Can anyone think of a good way to identify posts as useful, as opposed to simply interesting?

I keep a Yahoo Pipe of HN in Google Reader: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=23159aed1a913917f8f422bb8f6e7e71&_render=rss http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=23159aed1a913917f8... It lists comments as well (up until Yahoo fetches the page for each article), so it's easy to sprint through them when I've missed days.

  Is that still a 'best of all time' ranking? If so, it would seem like the ever growing user base is turning it into a 'best of the past few weeks' ranking.

    No, it's best of the last month or so.

I don't. I figure that if anything really good went on, somebody else will refer to it later.
