<heyyohey> Im having a lot of lag here. i cant answer the questions in time <Damarr> Pressing Alt+F4 should help. It stops the client sending useless information to the server *** heyyohey has quit IRC (Quit: Client exited.)

I thought moving to a new droplet was supposed to make things better.

That thing that blinds you on your way to and from work.
I think you underestimate just how cloudy it tends to be here.

i think we're getting slowdown because @ben_lubar's import script is still running.....
or it could be that we need a sysadmin to do proper system tuning?

It does seem slower. I'm seeing more Infinispinners™ than usual. Wasn't sure if it was just the connection here being slow or not.
Not seen any actual errors yet though.

My script imports the posts one-by-one, not all at once. If it was running, at least some of the old posts would show up in searches.

Confirmed.

Lucky. I'm seeing 504s all over. Plus the re-reading posts issue mentioned above.

What kind of utopia do you think this is?

So the banner that was up for half the weekend about the import being run was a lie‽
Can @apapadimoulis confirm?

I immediately thought of:
It seemed fitting.

Status: This topic title reminds me of the early days of internet chat rooms, when someone would ask how you did something in the chat and the first response was usually something like, "Easy, just hit Alt + F4 to do 'X'" and then moments later their chat name would disappear from the list.
It was the simple things in life...
I've only had this happen to me once, but it wasn't the fault of someone in a chatroom.
Longer story: EVE Online normally overrides "Alt-F4 = quit" because of the way it uses modified F-keys to activate modules; it can do this because these shortcuts are implemented within the app in Windows-world. However, when you're playing it under WINE, the window manager on the Linux side gets first crack at the keyboard, and of course, MATE helpfully defaults to "Alt-F4 = quit, or at the very least close window". So, I'm going into PvP (disclaimer: a gank, not anything resembling a fair fight, but that's wormhole space for you) with my trusty Falcon (note: do not confuse EVE's Falcon-class with the Millenium Falcon, lest your sensors be abruptly obliterated by a sea of white noise), and go to activate all ze jammers -- and not thinking, use the keyboard shortcuts to do it. BAM, bye-bye EVE client! After I relogged and got through the rest of the fight (in one piece, natch), I fudged my WM settings to use something like Super-F4 in the aftermath just to keep this from happening again...
-
All shortcuts of my WM use Mod4.
It's a great idea to have things set up like that.

Meh. What's the problem then even if you qu...

My keyboard does not have an F4 key.

Is that because it's on a Chromebook? Presumably you only need Function keys on functional devices....

Status: Some things on my desk were rearranged when I came in this morning and just found that the pile of change in one of my drawers (for the vending machines) is missing. Guess I won't be grabbing a soda.
Your company makes you pay for soda? What kind of two-bit operation do you work for?!
-
Post 13000, according to the green bar of horrors. Not according to the actual post number though.
-
FWIW my F4 key is also not labelled F5.
On my keyboard, the F4 key is just to the left of F5! (Unless the F4 key is actually labelled F5 and vice versa, which would seem needlessly confusing...)
-
Your company gives you free soda? O.O
I don't even get free tea/coffee.
-

IIRC we are (after being absorbed) in the low end of fortune 100-200. Also parts of corporate culture don't change just cause you get bought by a larger one.

-

Every company I've worked for in the last 10 years give me free soda...
-
Same here. To think that an academic environment would function without free coffee is almost as impossible as thinking it would function with .
Edit: replied to the wrong post. No soda here. Just carbonated soft drinks.
-
Do they have pay toilets also?
No, the toilets are free. But they're disgusting. There seems to be a slow but steady [i]backflow[/i] if they aren't flushed for a while.

Dear god...where are you working? I now have this image of a cubicle room with no windows and all of the fluorescents flickering like in some horror movie or Dr. Who episode.

Does it count as having a window in your cube farm if you have to look through someone's office to see it? Cause I don't think I've worked in a cubicle didn't qualify the windows like that.
-

No cubicles - I wish it was cubicles, I have social anxiety and working in an open plan office isn't good for my nerves. There are windows, and the lights only flicker occasionally and stop if you poke them with the broom we keep especially for the purpose. Though half of them are deactivated or broken.
-
I don't have windows here.
Well, there is, but it's a window into the corridor where the actual windows are, so we have the blinds closed.
-

OK, now I have to ask. Serious, or satire?

Discoursistency!
actually, according to the green bar here, there's no 13000 post

I'm sorry, I was under impression you're from more civilized parts of Europe?
Not that there's any shame being from the Balkans... At least that's what I keep telling myself.
-
I used to work in there! Now I work in a brightly lit closet with 4 other people! Not all of whom are even in my team!
-
OK, now I have to ask. Serious, or satire?
Serious.
Well, it's not the only thing we use the broom for. It's also good for putting up Christmas decorations in the ceiling tiles, plus the guy who sits next to me has some sort of emotional attachment to it, and that's not as weird as it sounds.

OK, you simply cannot say such a thing and not explain why a person having an emotional attachment to a broom is not weird. Your workplace sounds like an onion of weirdness. You can just keep peeling back the layers. ;)

Yeah. I mean, it's a broom!
/me pets his crowbar
-
Well this was all long before my time but the broom has the name of a team/department that no longer exists written on it (presumably originally to stop another team from walking off with it), which the current department/area is descended from and apparently is the only thing left related to that old team/department. So it's sort of a memento.

As most of you know, I used to be a construction superintendent and our on-site offices were usually office trailers. Basically mobile homes with vinyl floors and desks set up in them. A lot of the time, the restrooms were Port-O-Lets. Even those sound positively cushy compared to the working conditions I am imagining for you.
Although, the Port-O-Lets did have some interesting side effects. One time, in the dead of winter, a guy got the bright idea that he would warm up the seat before taking care of business and tried to do so with a propane torch that we used for thawing tracks when they would freeze up. He ended up setting the entire Port-O-Let on fire.
Another time, we were working doing an expansion to a landfill in the middle of summer. We had a concrete block next to the door of the Port-O-Let to prop it open as it was insufferably hot in there. There was an unspoken rule that you just did not look in if it was propped open. That all worked out great until one day there was a school field trip to see how landfills work. I see the school bus coming down the haul road (no prior warning for the construction crews for some reason) and we try to get his attention on the 2-way radio. No luck. No one could get there in time. I can only imagine what that was like for him as he sat there dropping a deuce in full view of a bus load of kids as they drove past.

Status: Fighting a Heisenbug. a beauty that dissapears when i try to debug it.
-
Is there such a thing as a reverse Hisenbug?
I have a piece of code that crashes only if I try to run it in debug mode.
EDIT: Oh, never mind. It doesn't crash any more
-
The green bar shows the post number of the post at the bottom of your view port. Since @tar's post is in the bottom of the viewport in your screenshot, there is no discoursistency displayed.
You have much to learn:
-
schroedinbug may work.
-
Oh, I had those. Not in this case, no. It consistently crashed when launched in debug mode. I gave up, deciding I'll look into it later, added a few more classes and now it's fine.
None of the old classes have been modified.
Mandelbug might possibly apply though.
