A morning habit I've acquired is to browse through HN posts first thing, often with that first cup of coffee. I don't look at the most read or top ranked or most popular. I go straight to the NEW. Here I often find little gems that people overlook and that often vanish into obscurity, as no doubt this post will. Enjoy the holiday period.
I look at "new", for the same reason. Great stuff lies in there.<p>I have tried using an autopager extension in order to get a digest for the day, mainly to peruse later without having to click on "more"<p>My "problem" is probably that my mind seems to want to scan vast amounts of information at once, and that a video or paginated information seems to have gaps in it that the mind wants to fill in.<p>So, my Hacker News habit is more like taking a newspaper (what's that?) along on the train (I used to do that!) than watching a talking head on TV read a limited amount of articles, not of my choice on the tube. (The TV is somewhere in my hardware museum.)<p>Cheers, everyone who scans it all.
Same here. I even read HN before I read my local news sites in the morning, pre-coffee. Typically I hunt for game-changing news that affects our entire industry, or some tooling which I can leverage. Everything else is just noise.
