@nprofile…fv4z i feel attacked

2025-04-21 15:44:08

approximately no one's noticing but stack overflow is reaching its maximum number of questions.
that's because every day, every unanswered, unupvoted question older than a year gets deleted (see the big jump up on the graph in April 2024). those deletions are now neck and neck with new questions coming in on weekdays. those deletions dwarf new questions coming in on weekends, so the site's already shrinking on weekends.
it was fun while it lasted <3

I’m real tired of hearing that #Mastodon is languishing because it has no money. The last time they were hiring I went and raised the salary I’d need. I brought it to them and they outright declined me. They wanted someone with more rails experience (lol).
They languish because they’re constitutionally unable to accept help when it shows up.
But hey, bright side: there’s a plushie now.

@npub1a4c…t2kf To me it just looks like he wanted to snitch tag.

@npub1a4c…t2kf 5X improvement near the top of the stack doesn’t feel like something to sneeze at outright, and your line is fair given the gauntlet thrown, and I don’t envy any of the engineers who had to actually cash the checks.

@npub1a4c…t2kf I agree with you that the irony is odious and unbecoming. And I hope my friend hears you.
And, on the Qualcomm issue, they did eventually back up their trash and rewrote their javascript to please that processor. https://eviltrout.com/2016/02/25/fixing-android-performance.html
The server side performance was a tragedy we all saw coming the day we heard what the stack was. At SO we turned a well performing language into greased lightning. Couldn’t be done on ruby.

@npub1a4c…t2kf I also wouldn't add the caching if bing were hitting me incorrectly at a rate 100,000X higher than stated.
And the core answer is I don't get hung up on obvious hyperbole. Jeff's run his mouth about things on the internet for decades. He pokes the bears he wants. Sometimes (somehow) it makes things better for people on the internet. Many other times it misses (and it has missed me).

@npub1a4c…t2kf Adding caching should have a very high threshold. Almost none of the caches at Stack Overflow ended up being worth it (I did the analysis and we yanked them out). Adding caching is behind like all the other answers if the problem is one badly behaving bot.

Everyone should stop contributing to Stack Overflow until the data dumps are restored.
