Hadn't read that article. Scathing! Thanks for digging it up.
Hacker News supports browsing with a points threshold

Re: Hacker News supports browsing with a points threshold
#22Great option. I was waiting for such an option. Another problem I have is that I keep scanning the front page list of references to see if a new article popped in somewhere in the list between the last time I checked. This is inefficient. My impression is that providing a list of references sorted by the time they reached the threshold would do the trick. Though, this would require a significant amount of work to pro…
http://hckrnews.com is all you need.
That's the exact reason why I use hckrnews.com - to be able to easily figure out what's rising to the top and also to have the most popular threads in chronological order.

#23I'd love for there to be a "Show HN" filter as well. My favorite part of Hacker News is seeing what others have built.
I think the "Ask" link at the top does this - it actually shows Ask HN and Show HN posts. http://news.ycombinator.com/ask
The "Ask" tab shows any post that has a text body rather than a link.

#24Here's the recent top ten submissions into Hacker News (all above 440 points). I'm happy to see the top ten has a pretty good variety of topics. * Conway's Game of Life, using floating point values instead of integers (jwz.org) * Show HN: We open sourced Lockitron's crowdfunding app (selfstarter.us) * 37signals Earns Millions Each Year. Its CEO’s Model? His Cleaning Lady (fastcompany.com) * Why is processing a sorted…

There's been more than just this post that have got 1000+. I'm guessing this filter doesn't search the entire archive of submissions.
It only looks at articles that are in memory. You'll notice that the Steve Jobs article has made it there now that people have been opening it.

Why does espinchi's post not have Steve Job's passing post?
Edit: apparently because it only searches articles that are in memory. And that article was not in memory when op checked.

I see, that makes sense, but why is it so? Aren't the posts stored in a database somewhere? How does it work?

Gotcha, good knowledge - thanks!
Re: Hacker News supports browsing with a points threshold
#30Great feature!
I had a suggestion: This feature gives you stories 'above' a certain threshold. I think it would help a lot if there was an option for stories 'below' certain threshold.
Rationale behind it is that lots of folks here (like me) don't check the New Submissions section regularly and lots of good stuff never gets much love. If there was an option for generating a front page for stories below certain points, a user can review them and upvote worthy ones, which eventually can feature on normal front page. Any opinions?
