It's a Myers-Briggs personality profile. You can test yours here.

Obviously not going to be anywhere near as accurate as taking an actual test from a trained counselor, but not a bad one, and I like the profile information they provide.

I'm so solidly INFP that I'm not so worried about accuracy for me. But at times I get closer to INFJ.

Both are idealist diplomat personalities, though.

Huh, that test put me as INFP. Thought I was more Sensing than Intuitive, but okay, the description fits me perfectly.

We're almost a third of the way to thread lock people. Keep up the good work.

Does the thread have to be locked because of number of posts, or because of amount of text in those posts? I'd be really curious to look at the database for this site (though I know I obviously would not be able to)

After a few bazillion posts long threads start to mess with the whole forum. Or that was the explanation with the last thread's lock.

It's not the size of your post, it's how often you do it!

It's not the size of the boat but the number of sharks in the tornado.

Or ... something.

I'd bet it's the number of rows as opposed to the actual content. I doubt they're loading the entire content as you only load so many posts at once.

From what Kao said before, each post creates a new row. So you're right, it's definitely by number of posts; the actual content has no bearing on it. I don't really understand why the number of rows actually is affecting it, though. I'd imagine there's a lot going on under the hood that I and other users are not aware of, but from just what Kao said I don't really see why the database couldn't support one thread with [however many rows could fit in the database's disk] posts in it. Like, I don't see why the database couldn't take just a single monolithic thread with all posts in it, as opposed to many smaller threads.

I mean, everything is indexed, as far as I can tell. That's O(1) time to access it, no matter where you are accessing it from. Theoretically.

The only issue I can see arising is if the database actually does load the entire thread when you enter it (or worse, loads all the threads on the first page or whatever when you enter the forum).

That said, I'm in the middle of my databases class right now, so my knowledge of databases is far from perfect.

This is driving me bananuts. I'm going to figure out what this fourteen letter word is.

Apparently it is arsentsumebite.

Don't mind me, just being driven insane by asterisks. I think the recent change made things worse for me.

What, the heck, is that? I'd google it but it'll probably just censor me. Bing don't fail me now...

I guess it's because it starts with the word "arse". Like, "arsesdfgvaq13456sadvc" is censored: *********************

Also, it's a mineral. My geo friends have actually talked about this one.

They changed the number of asterisks to match the number of letters in the word?

I wrote you a poem:

Dear you,

******************************************************************

Sincerely,
me

It's a poem disguised as a letter. Post-neo-industrialism poetry for those wondering.
