Do people feel that reading Hacker News meets these principles? On one hand there's a lot of good links and discussions here, but a significant portion is either too obscure or just not very interesting (e.g. most medium.com links). How do you optimize your HN reading to maximize time spent learning?
Actually I use a habit tracking app, where one of the habits is "no news but HN". HN is an improvement compared to reading any other news source or various reddits.
I use an RSS reader and filter certain domains, medium.com being one of them :) Cuts way down on the noise and prevents rescanning over stuff I've already read or dismissed.
