Unfortunately, I have so far failed to get a (1538) submission to stick. Well, let's try again: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16444460
I think it does not stick, because I don't understand anything from the title
Occasionally you see articles on HN with a date in the title, like “(1998)” — and over the years I’ve noticed that these tend to be some of the best posts. It makes sense: on a site devoted to news , an article posted so long after it was published has to be especially good. So I hacked together this page, which links to every HN post with a date in its title earning more than 40 votes. It’s sorted in chronological o…
For links that are now defunct/gone (such as #2 on the chronological list), can you pull the web archive at the closest date to the submission? (dead) http://yorktownhistory.org/homepages/1900_predictions.htm ===> https://web.archive.org/web/20100108205037/http://yorktownhi... (archive from 6 days later) I don't think this can be done programmatically though... thanks for putting this together. I enjoy the old posts…

This is a clever and simple way to dredge up some great posts. I wonder if you could ensure fewer false negatives (i.e. find even more great stuff) by doing the opposite: attempting to filter out every post whose link is to a page that came into existence within a month of the post's submission date. This would likely require scraping the source links (unless you can get that from the https://cloud.google.com/bigquer…
You can also to go https://news.ycombinator.com/front to bounce around how HN's front page looked on past days, like https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2016-06-20 . Or click on the date in an account's profile to see what HN looked like on its birthday.
