The Glowfic Constellation

[DanielH]

I don’t want to ask for this if it isn’t already available, but is it possible to have characters shared between authors? Something like that happened before but I expect the bugfix made it impossible to do that on purpose.

If that can still be done without code changes, and assuming Eva agrees, I feel like it should happen for this character or could be useful as a temporary thing in mind-control settings.

Unfortunately it is not presently possible, as far as I know, but there's been an issue on the tracker about it for a while?

[Alicorn]

I would like an "open all unread in tabs" button but idk if that's possible server-side.

[DanielH]

It… actually sounds potentially possible from Javascript. It’d trigger your popup blocker, but you can usually whitelist sites.

The index of all tags appears to be sorted by the creation of the tag, which is sort of useless compared to alphabetical or frequency or something. I searched the tracker for "tags" and didn't see an issue about it.

So ... I refreshed my Favorites page, and all of a sudden I had a slew of messages. Upon inspection, it appears that every single message I have ever received on the Constellation is showing up as new and unread.



I am fairly sure this is not intended behavior. :P

ETA: It seems to have been triggered by receiving a message from Faceless, and went away when I opened that message. The message title started with an @, which might have messed something up? IDK

You're right, the unread filter was broken for just users-who-should-see-a-message, it's fixed now.

Today we learned HAML is not threadsafe and does not respect string immutability. And then we rolled back.

I think (VERY tentatively) that I've gotten memory usage stable at least to the point where leaks are obvious! We do still creep up over time but that's sort of standard Ruby, we no longer do sharp-angry-line-upwards-immediately*! Now we just have creep with occasional LARGE SUDDEN jumps, which I then go attempt to map to specific requests and clean up. (Latest one is a leak I found in the Search controller, which has since been cleaned up some.) If I can get it to the point where memory grows slowly enough over a day, the daily Heroku-enforced restart will keep us under cap permanently, and I can build features again, WHOO.

Also I'm rerunning our GC tuning now that our memory use is more normal, see where that gets us.

(Even tentative good news is nice, I have a cold and my dad just got diagnosed with MG and work is eating me alive and ugh.)

*Except you, Throne, I see you and your daily report scraper :P
