Have gotten error messages, and logged off and tried again, and usually got in on my second try. Lunar eclipse?[/quote] I'm starting to entertain the paranoid idea that it is Catholic hating hackers who are attacking the site and bogging it down.

ardillacid Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I think dUSt was probably just trying out his prototype quantum computer and the gov got wind and shut his op down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachael Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) could it also be the reason that we also end up posting the same things two or three times? Edited December 12, 2007 by rachael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are probably loads of redundant datasets floating around at any given moment in IPB. I have little sympathy for applications that use memory frivolously. I just wrote a program (a vast galactic map editor for my goofy game) that allows one to view a representation of a region 1,600 light years in diameter (~15,137,168,756,129,280 km) and zoom in, in real time, to a subsection on the level of 189,214,609,451,616 km (20 ly) and then way down to 16,000,000,000 km in diameter, continuing from here one can zoom in (again, seamlessly and in real time) to a region with detail down to 0.02 km. The data structures that model this incredibly insane amount of space typically take about 1.6 MB of system memory at any given time and this includes a wide variety of metadata necessary to render all the details (tons of stars, planetary systems, nebulae, et cetera). I will admit that I've spent an inordinate amount of time achieving this degree of optimization, but my point is that where there is a will there is a way and more often than not these days developers are so obsessed with "RAD" development (RAD = rapid application development) that the art of truly optimal coding is forgotten.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcePrincessKRS Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 [quote name='Laudate_Dominum' post='1433105' date='Dec 12 2007, 12:24 AM']In the meantime I speculate that switching to linear mode may make it possible to view a thread that gives this error. I think standard mode involves some extra recursion and linear mode may not push things over the top. Just a theory anyway. And there is always the lo-fi version.[/quote] Switching to outline mode (which I hate and think is ugly) does allow me to read and post in all threads. Lo-fi only allows one to read, not post and reply. So, I take ugly over errors and pray that it gets fixed soon. Linear still seems to be giving me errors.
