On: Just Ask HN (or more precisely, url-less) posts

[rasikjain]

Thanks a ton PG for this new feature.

How are these ASK posts are ordered? by the Points, Comments or Time Based?

I have been using http://ask.searchyc.com/ for checking ASK related posts. They also have the feature of highlighting the post in BOLD font if the post is commented heavily.

Going to bookmark this new ASK url.

For now the same algorithm as the frontpage (points divided by time to a power).

[rasikjain → pg]

Thanks PG for the reply.

I can only see 31 posts under ASK. Is it just me or any other user also see only 31 posts?

For speed it skims the url-less posts out of the sorted list I keep for the frontpage, which needs to be made longer to be used for this as well. I just cranked up the length a bit; should be ok now.
