Not that karma means anything, but it's amazing that the user who submitted Bellard's Linux-in-browser story received more karma from submitting that one URL than I have for the hundreds of comments I've made over the last eight months.
Of cause it is not. It was more link bait by me then anything. It would even go as far to say none of the stories on the first page would make it into my best of collection. But I do think that it is interesting none the less.
I'm sure that eventually the "I don't learn anything on HN anymore, bring back the upvote count" thread will fall out of the top ten. The sooner, the better as far as I am concerned. If you haven't already upvoted the thread "How I Hacked Hacker News (with arc security advisory)," you should. That is a classic HN thread, full of interesting ideas, and well deserves your upvote even after most of the reported bugs have been fixed.
(Disclaimer: I don't have any karma dogs in this fight. I just like good, on-topic content here.)
The filter on date seems like the comments on Hacker News. Only difference is an occasional link will appear in the feed. Just wondering as to why comments are included in the filter.
