Short description
If you are like me, probably as part of your daily routine you check some engineering blogs. A few months ago I found this repo with an amazing list of blogs.
https://github.com/kilimchoi/engineering-blogs
It is great, but how to identify the most interesting (or popular posts)? well, I remembered this article related to how Hacker News ordered his posts.
https://medium.com/hacking-and-gonzo/how-hacker-news-ranking-algorithm-works-1d9b0cf2c08d
Score = (P-1) / (T+2)^G
where,
P = points of an item (and -1 is to negate submitters vote)
T = time since submission (in hours)
G = Gravity, defaults to 1.8 in news.arc
With that info, a few lines of python/tornado to get votes from Hacker News and Reddit, and the help of our friends of zeit.co/now (as serverless deployments service), the dinner has been served.
Peace.
