I'm just curious, did you construct these tables manually? I mean did you type those html tags manually?

It's common. Is it because of the protocols the website/connection is using? If it is like stream, the total size won't be known until the end.

A developer answered in another post

> The point of parallelization is to harness the full power of the CPU. If you don’t want that try reducing the content process limit near the bottom of general options.

Re:Planets in Google Maps on Tuesday October 17, 2017 @11:29AM (#15491740)
Interestingly, many territories have meaningful names, rather than a mixture of numbers and letters
Just try to fill in all areas and you may understand.

I think developer forum should be designed like this.

Re:Is Linkedin down? on Saturday June 28, 2014 @06:09AM (#7957891)
I have the same problem here in Oxford. Twitter is down locally as well. Most websites except for google.com, youtube.com, facebook.com are down.

Maybe submarine cable is broken or something wrong with the servers.

I think they should be a point on the graph, rather than a line, it's quite confusing.

I have one question, how does this syntax (the dollar symbol) work?

Is it like "define" ?
Re:Show HN: Recent HN startups on one page. Autoupdated on Thursday May 15, 2014 @04:48PM (#7752144)
you'd better link it back to HN to see if there are any comments on these pages. Comments are more useful than that idea sometimes.

I don't really get how it works. The page doesn't explain any technology behind it. I may need more information.
Could you please explain more, I don't get this.
Re:May be a better way to read HN on Sunday May 11, 2014 @05:23AM (#7728225)
First, because I made it on my own.(not important)

Second, if you examine the algorithm of http://www.hckrnews.com/, you will see that, the "TOP 10" only shows 10 news per day, "TOP 20" only shows 20 news per day. "Homepage" means those news currently on the homepage. "All" means to show all the historical news (mixed the good with the bad).

Is that what users what? No.

I, a user, want to read all those top 30 news which used to be on the front page over the last 12 hours while I was not able to access the Internet. You may notice that HN uses a new rank algorithm, the front page changes frequently. Some excellent news cannot stay long. I don't want to miss them. So, the cron can help me to preserve those items. Remove duplicates, list out the latest 100 news (or even 1000 news). You can add cookie to show the "last read" <hr> line.

I am also curious about what are the best ranks of those news. Then, I added that feature.

My code meets all my needs, the user's needs. Therefore, It is better.

Amazing website. It could also be a place to speak out secrets.
