Hacker News 最受收藏的帖子分析
Most-favorited Hacker News posts
2020 — 2023，它一次次回到首页
黑点是上首页（≥ 50 分）的那次投稿，空心点是没冲上去的投稿，点越大分数越高。
导读
这是一个 Observable Notebook 数据分析项目，作者统计了 HN 上最活跃的一万名用户的收藏，找出被收藏最多的帖子。由于收藏功能是隐藏功能、API 也不公开这一数据，作者手动收集并整理了这份数据集。结果显示 Ask HN 类的纯文字帖（如推荐书籍、学习资源）在收藏榜上占主导地位。
为什么经久不衰：它把 HN 社区多年沉淀的隐性精华（收藏数据）挖掘出来，形成一份经过时间检验的学习资源和经典帖子清单，随时可回头查阅。
HN 评论精选
不同用户子集的收藏统计会产生不同榜单，且全局收藏榜以 Ask HN 文字帖为主
OP 说的是“最活跃的一万名 HN 成员最常收藏的文章”。‘最活跃’是怎么定义的？（编辑：明白了——是发评论最多的用户）。这个榜单很有意思，我以前从没想过，统计不同用户子集的收藏会得到截然不同的有趣榜单。我好奇全局收藏最多的是什么，列出了前 50 名。有意思的是其中很多是 Ask HN，即没有外部链接的纯文字帖。

The OP says "The most favorited articles by the top 10k most active Hacker News members." How was "most active" defined? (Edit: oh I see - the users who post the most comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24352688). It's an interesting list, and it never occurred to me that by counting the top favorites of different subsets of users you might get quite different interesting lists. I got curious about what the global most-favorited would be. Here are the top 50. The first column is the fave count. It's interesting how many are Ask HNs, i.e. text posts with no external URL. Sorry that the item ids aren't clickable: 836 19087418 Ask HN: What books changed the way you think about almost everything? 783 16745042 Ask HN: What are the best MOOCs you've taken? 685 16775744 Ask HN: How to self-learn electronics? 581 21332072 Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses? 554 21581361 Ask HN: What's the most valuable thing you can learn in an hour? 510 18588727 Ask HN: What are your “brain hacks” that help you manage everyday situations? 510 20264911 Ask HN: What do you do with your Raspberry Pi? 506 22786853 Ask HN: What are your favorite low-coding apps / tools as a developer? 472 15919115 Machine Learning 101 slidedeck: 2 years of headbanging, so you don't have to 470 23151144 Ask HN: Mind bending books to read and never be the same as before? 463 20916749 Questions to ask a company during a job interview 461 22299180 Ask HN: What are some books where the reader learns by building projects? 454 23092657 Ask HN: Name one idea that changed your life 448 23904000 Systems Design for Advanced Beginners 447 22400375 Mathematics for the Adventurous Self-Learner 444 23588896 Teach Yourself Computer Science 441 21585235 Basic Social Skills Guide (2012) 439 17238135 How to be a Manager – A step-by-step guide to leading a team 439 22105229 Tricks to start working despite not feeling like it 432 16493489 Machine Learning Crash Course 425 24351073 Most favorited Hacker News posts of all time 422 22310813 Gears 421 20985875 The boring technology behind a one-person Internet company (2018) 416 19490573 A guide to difficult conversations 409 24120275 How to stop procrastinating by using the Fogg Behavior Model 409 21324768 Ask HN: What's a promising area to work on? 406 23229241 Linux Productivity Tools (2019) [pdf] 398 21712194 Ask HN: Best book / resources on leadership, especially for tech teams? 396 12702651 Ask HN: What is your favorite YouTube channel for developers? 381 18805624 Algorithms, by Jeff Erickson 374 21536789 Build Your Own React 372 18104814 Ask HN: What are the best textbooks in your field of expertise? 369 23170881 Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project? 366 22226380 The missing semester of CS education 365 23053981 Medium-hard SQL interview questions 364 17163251 The Importance of Deep Work and the 30-Hour Method for Learning a New Skill 363 22276184 My productivity app for the past 12 years has been a single .txt file 360 22235279 Ask HN: What Skills to Acquire in 2020? 360 13660086 Ask HN: What are some books where the reader learns by building one project? 358 14486657 Ask HN: What language-agnostic programming books should I read? 358 15602538 Ask HN: Where can I find high-end stock images for a website? 356 19900955 Ask HN: What overlooked class of tools should a self-taught programmer look into 356 20044876 Advanced Data Structures (2017) 355 19264048 Immersive Linear Algebra (2016) 355 12713056 Ask HN: How to get started with machine learning? 353 23339830 Tools for Better Thinking 353 21900498 Ask HN: Best books you read in the past decade? 352 20254057 Startup idea checklist 347 17999659 Ask HN: Favorite teachers on YouTube? 347 23276456 Ask HN: What startup/technology is on your 'to watch' list?
作者解释：收藏功能隐蔽反而使信号质量更高，并公开数据集供复用
收藏是个隐藏功能且不好用，这让我觉得它的筛选信号质量反而更高；HN API 和 Algolia 都不提供这个数据，聚合起来就更有意思。收集数据很费劲，所以我把它放进了一个 Observable notebook，希望以后不用再重新收集。学习资源对我最有用——很多链接当年从我眼前溜走，这份清单让我重新找回了它们，尤其是那个 bash shell 资源，我找了好久！

The fact that favorites are a hidden feature and hard to use made me think the quality of the curation signal would be even better. Also the fact the HackerNews API, Angolia don't expose this feature made it even more interesting to aggregate. Hope you like it and as it was a pain gathering the data, I put it in an observable notebook so hopefully we don't need to gather that dataset again for a while. The learning resources were the most useful thing to me. I have seen most of those links whoosh by me when reading HN, but this list has made me revisit some of them that were lost to the sands of time. In particular the bash shell resource [1] is something I have been trying to re-find for ages! [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17057596
评论的收藏同样值得挖掘，推荐关注个人收藏列表
我个人觉得评论比帖子更有意思。有人知道哪些 HN 用户的收藏评论值得关注吗？如果觉得这里的帖子列表编程内容太重，可以看看我收藏的评论，题材相当杂。照例声明：这些只是我的 HN 收藏，不代表我认同其观点。

I personally find the comments far more interesting than the stories. Does anyone know some HN users with interesting favorited comments? If anyone thinks the list of posts here is very heavy on programming things, feel free to browse my favorited comments. I have quite the mix of all topics. The usual disclaimer applies - these are just my HN favorites, I do not endorse them. Many favorited comments are completely wrong, they are not medical, legal or financial advice, I am not licensed to sell insurance etc etc. https://news.ycombinator.com/favorites?id=owenversteeg&comments=t
惊讶收藏功能使用率低，头部帖子的收藏数远低于预期
说实话，我有点惊讶用收藏功能保存有趣链接的人这么少。收藏最多的帖子也只有 96 个收藏，看起来真的很低。

Honestly, I’m kind of surprised more people do not use the favorite feature to bookmark interesting links / posts. 96 favorites on the most favorited seems really low.
