(PS please feel free to disagree and post other ones I don’t know about below!)
I read a lot of backend and architecture articles and often struggle to revisit them later.
I’m curious how others handle this.
Do you: Use Notion or Obsidian? Bookmark everything? Keep markdown notes? Rely on memory?
What has worked long-term for you?
What hasn’t?
You've reached the end!

How are stories ranked?
The basic algorithm divides points by a power of the time since a story was submitted. Comments in threads are ranked the same way.
Other factors affecting rank include user flags, anti-abuse software, software which demotes overheated discussions, account or site weighting, and moderator action.

Personally, I appreciate that the rankings are done at a site level, and there isn’t a bunch of tracking and manipulation to give me a personal “feed” to drive engagement. A lot of comments on this site complain about those practices on other sites. I don’t think it’s welcome here.
