Item — HN Reader

Can you give more details on this? Does the score/number of comments just add to the total thread karma? Or is the formula a bit more complex?

1 comments

Here's the source:

  (= active-threshold* 1500)
  
  (def active-rank (s)
    (apply + (map [max 0 (- active-threshold* (item-age _))]
                  (cdr (family s)))))

A story's score is the sum of the difference between the age of each comment and 25 hours.

Great. Thanks!
