PG - Lost all my karma
PG, I have lost all my karma. It was 93 I think.
PS: there should be an email id to send bug reports.
- jsjenkins168 19y agoYour account was created 3 hours ago, how could you have had 93 karma? Creating a new account will start your karma over, in case you didnt know.
- kashif 19y agoNo it wasn't. It was created a long time back. My point is that my account reset for some reason. Now if only PG could respond to this.
- kashif 19y agoThis comment was posted before my account was reset. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=63522 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=63522
- jsjenkins168 19y agoInteresting, it looks like your entire user was reset along with your karma. PG recently mentioned the server was running out of memory and they had to temporarily trim some content. Maybe this is related? I upvoted to try and get this on the front page...
- imsteve 19y agoThat's funny. I ran out of memory on my server last night too. Spent most of the morning trying to trim everything down. The common scripting languages should include memory optimized basic data structures..
- Kaizyn 19y agoArc is anything but a common scripting language.
- Zak 19y agoBut it should include memory-optimized basic data structures.
- imsteve 19y agoIt's my impression that memory usage is very obscured in functional languages. Others' thoughts?
- SamReidHughes 19y agoIn lazy languages, it's very obscured, because you're not sure whether the integer you're pointing at is a four-byte number or whether it's a big unevaluated expression. In strict functional languages, and also in Lisp-like languages, it's not obscured. You might, say, not know exactly how many bytes a certain datastructure takes, unless you do some thinking but the same goes for C and C++. (For example, tell me how many extra bytes the std::string datatype takes in the nearest implementation of the STL.) Garbage collection adds the danger of leaving around dangling references, but that doesn't really have anything to do with the functional aspect of the language.

- ardit33 19y agomy karma is gone too :( It seems like an upgrade gone bad.
- oconnor0 19y agoFortunately I still have all 3 points of mine.
- kingnothing 19y agoLooks like that comment helped to increase your karma four fold!
- bootload 19y agoYeah now I'm pissed! All my Karma (ex #11 on leaderboard, 1142) , submissions are missing. Plenty of screenshots of mine exist. Boooo Boooo Sup pg?
- bootload 19y agoNow I'm beginning to recover old posts from yesterday (yes I keep all posts, submissions). What I've found is past entries are there eg: http://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=63249 http://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=63249 So maybe the data collected in user?id=foo is currupted and could be rebuilt. It looks like the data is still to be found in edit?id=bar
- kingnothing 19y agoYou're pissed because you lost your e-points on a news site? Seriously?
- bootload 19y agoMore the links to the submissions made and comments so I can mine them for data. For example you have your details over say 157 days. - http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=kingnothing http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=kingnothing and - http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=kingnothing http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=kingnothing Mine are over 220 and there's a lot of information that I've been intending to mine in my hackerID project ~ http://goonmail.customer.netspace.net.au/hackerid/ http://goonmail.customer.netspace.net.au/hackerid/ That serious enough?
- kingnothing 19y agoOh, okay. I can understand being upset about that, but I'm sure it will get worked out.
- bootload 19y ago"... Oh, okay. I can understand being upset about that, but I'm sure it will get worked out. ..." Thanks, Just letting off some steam. The content is all still there but the index pages are screwed. It'll be interesting now to measure the acceleration of my articles since I'm starting from scratch. So it might actually be a good thing.
- pg 19y agoSomething definitely seems to have gone wrong. We'll figure it out. Edit: There are some corrupted files on the disk. It seems to be related to the new memory we had installed on the server. Fortunately we have recent backups. We probably have enough to reconstruct what's missing, but it may take a few days because I'm travelling. Anyone besides kashif, bootload, and ardit33 seeing problems?
- bootload 19y ago"... We'll figure it out. ..." The good bit is the historical posts & submissions are still there, just the 'user?id=foo' data is blanked.
- justincase 19y agoI would be a bit concerned about WFP applications. Any submissions between your last backup and now that may be gone...
- pg 19y agoThe only files damaged were a couple that were written just before a crash. No one has reported anything missing from an application.
