Ask HN: Do you think many posts don't get the front page attention they deserve?
32 by sph | 29 comments on Hacker News.
We all know about the tyranny of user-upvoted content. Some good posts fall through the cracks and never get the attention they deserve. But I think HN is suffering from a slightly different problem. There are so many good posts that often extremely relevant and well received content never even hits my front page, and I am on this site a lot . I often use the "Search" feature to surface articles I am interested about, and many times I happen upon posts in the 100+ votes from the past day or two that somehow I didn't even see. I wonder if the really quick decaying algorithm paired with the amount of quality posts creates the unfortunate situation that reaching the front page or the intended audience is just a matter of pure luck. Have we reached a singularity point where Hacker News has become too popular and on average too interesting that content relevant to your interests rarely reaches you? EDIT: ironically, this post is now on the front page. If there's one thing I love about this site, is how it's slightly biased in favour of Ask HN and Show HN posts. Even in such a massive forum, everybody gets their 15 minutes in the spotlight.

I took math courses through high school up to calculus in college and a course on discrete math, which i did well in. I just got John Stillwell's "Mathematics and It's History" and I'm dazzled by the way math is presented and the beauty inherent in it, unlike the way it was taught to me in school. However, I'm starting to struggle in some of the early geometry exercises like with regular polyhedra and conic sections, and later with exercises in projective geometry. Is there a course or series of courses I can take that can build my math skill level to solve such problems with ease? Stillwell mentions using this course to teach senior-level math undergrads.

I'm wondering if because spam traffic increased and spammers found a new way to trick anti-spam or if gmail engineers changed something on their end. Is anyone experiencing the same? Not a big deal as it's been almost a year I'm migrating off gmail and I'm keeping it only for a few things, but still annoying

Show HN: Low-cost backup to S3 Glacier Deep Archive
57 by mrich | 45 comments on Hacker News.
Hi, most people (hopefully) have local backups. However, when that backup fails, it is good to have a backup stored somewhere off-site. In the old days you would ship physical drives/tapes, which is cumbersome, costly, and slow. With fast upload speeds, it is now possible to upload your data to the cloud. I have found S3 Glacier Deep Archive to be a great solution for this: - It is very cheap ($1/TB/month for US region) - Very reliable (99.999999999% data durability, data spread over 3 Availability Zones) However, usability out of the box is not that great, I'm not aware of any automated backup solution for Deep Archive. This free project provides that. Currently, ZFS is required, but that might change. Please try it out and provide feedback!
