Can anyone tech me how to make a forum like this one

Ask HN: How is it possible to shop on Walmart.com? Everything is out of stock
I think it's a ratio of votes to time. I think as little as 4 votes can get something on the homepage if they come in fairly quickly.
The source code for hn is available if you want to go and look up the specifics. I'm not sure if this is the most up-to-date mirror, but the site doesn't change that often: https://github.com/wting/hackernews

Why Lisp Syntax Works
Might not count as modern, but the original Reddit and HackerNews codebases:
- https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit1.0
- https://github.com/wting/hackernews (actually news.arc, based on old hn)

Ask HN: Is there an open-source HN forum clone?
There's also this https://github.com/wting/hackernews -- which is a version of the source code to the site from sometime in the past.

Whoops: Linux's Strcmp() for the M68k Has Always Been Broken
"Otherwise" was the operative word in my (slightly sarcastic) example. :)
Avoiding all caps words means you sometimes have to go back and change "FAA" back from "Faa".
HN's software is no longer open source, but at one time, this is how it processed titles on initial submission: https://github.com/wting/hackernews/blob/master/news.arc#L15...

U.S. appeals court rejects big tech's right to regulate online speech
And at any rate, #1 on HN is not the product of any simple rule like "most upvotes per unit time with some decay function applied." There is significant judgment in expressed in the way that stories are ranked. The sourcecode as of 2012 was enough to demonstrate this, but in my understanding yet more judgment has been applied since then.

Ask HN: How does HN manage to be always online?
"ad-hoc filesystem based solution" is the closest of your definitions, I think. Last time I saw/heard, HN was built in Arc, a Lisp dialect, and use(s/d) a variant of this (mirrored) code: https://github.com/wting/hackernews
Check out around this area of the code to see how simple it is. All just plain files. A database, of sorts, but not in the way you might be expecting: https://github.com/wting/hackernews/blob/master/news.arc#L16...
There is a modern maintained variant at https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki/tree/master/apps/news as well.
File syncing between machines is pretty much an easily solved problem. I don't know how they do it, but it could be something like https://syncthing.net/ or even some scripting with `rsync`. Heck, a cronned `tar | gzip | scp` might even be enough for an app whose data isn't exactly mission critical.

Ask HN: How is HN internally structured?
The old version in arc, mirrored at https://github.com/wting/hackernews/blob/5a3296417d23d1ecc90..., uses the file system as a database.
https://github.com/wting/hackernews/blob/5a3296417d23d1ecc90... shows the monotonically increasing number:
