Completely off topic but sometimes on HN I don't understand how stuff lands on the front page. At the time of this writing, this post has 3 points and 0 comments, yet it is placed nr #3 on the "front page" list.
I get the feeling that certain topics about certain technologies often get at the front page even if there is other threads that have more points and activity that isn't shown on the front page.

Why is that?
