Part of the recent latency issues were caused by me grabbing the current user several times from the database unnecessarily on the path of every request for signed in users.
Don't feel bad. I recently worked on a website that would retrieve data exclusively from Redis. The problem was, whoever wrote the thought that Redis calls were free. It would make thousands of Redis calls in a single request... for the same data.
Lol redis is so good it’s always abused. Did you guys end up pipelining the requests?
… in this case I was grabbing the user 3 times, thinking that because it’s a primary key lookup it’d be fast, but it was ~30ms in some cases. Probably because Postgres’ cache is otherwise full or getting invalidated.
Optimization always feels good :)
When stacker news subs like subreddits?
Soon™️
Which subs would you want to see?
I was reading through Reddit's timeline the other day and it looks like they started with
/r/scienceWith subreddits, does the front page aggregate from subs as well, or does the front page stay for bitcoin-related? If it aggregates then I suppose the bitcoin needs to become a sub them. What would it be, /~bitcoin/ ?
It'll probably aggregate/merge in eventually, but it'd start out segregated for simplicity.
why do you ask? let users create them :) i mean they already create their own user
I like the idea of starting with r/science
Here are a few suggestions:
History Books
Cool! Just hope we can have some more topics other than BTC.
personally I'd like r/investing or r/stocks, r/conspiracy r/technology r/programming r/linux, but also some esoterics like r/selfimprovement or r/meditation lol...
I don't know about you guys but I became more bullish in a bear market, reason being I get to stack cheap corn...
Macca’s!
@k00b you should remove or find another way to distribute sats from jobs posting. I know that some users are here just to "milk" those sats for "passive income" shit. I am sure that wasn't your intention to create this precedent.
Definitely don’t want milkers. I’m going to be messing with the algorithms soon and hopefully I can figure out how to mostly reward generous users producing good content.
Reward also you those that are tipping more. Then create some kind of circular rebalancing. I saw many that are tipping quite a lot here. I tip also but not so much as others. Maybe you can come up with an algorithm.
FWIW getting the daily reward is what made me tip more sats per post recently...
I’ll try
Who else learned a bunch of positive random stuff because of the BIP-119 drama?
I learned yesterday that BIP's are not assigned sequential numbers (even though I've seen the numbers jump around, I never really paid attention).
What is the SN community's "bot defense" strategy? Can we detect or defend against the inflow of bots onto this platform as it gets more popular and lucrative?
Or should we welcome bots with open arms, value for value? May the best bot win?
Well, the main protection is monetary cost of making a comment or post. And after that the algorithm sorts things by popularity. Isn't that enough?
what if a bot could earn more sats on SN than it costs to post, it would still be making a profit
then it would be a good bot
That means that it made good content that people enjoyed, wouldn't it?
So good bots are good, bad bots are bad
Bots that behave exactly like humans are hard to prevent anyways
I am totally agree with ZFR
I've now seen a couple Link Posts where the link was an .onion address. Example:
#13853 https://twitter3e4tixl4xyajtrzo62zg5vztmjuricljdp2c5kshju4avyoid.onion/
And then this bizarre one (which is, apparently, SN's LN node address):
#25382 http://03cc1d0932bb99b0697f5b5e5961b83ab7fd66f1efc4c9f5c7bad66c1bcbe78f02@xhlmkj7mfrl6ejnczfwl2vqik3xim6wzmurc2vlyfoqw2sasaocgpuad.onion:9735/
So, my question is ... should an .onion address be valid input for a Link Post on SN?
What? Why not?
There is a value in people learning how to use Tor... So maybe onion links should have a little question mark button in the detailed view that would explain what to do?
Wait... in 2022 are still people that don't use Tor?
