12/16 - So Perfect Saturday!

[frogman31680]

Ok, so I gave in and decided to try to catch hits in the wild since everything is all jacked.

Go to the all hits page. Sort by created date and start mass refreshing.

After the third or fourth refresh, I notice the hits are all out of order yet they are still showing sorted by creation date.

Not one of our bugs, but still frustrating none the less.

How ya doing, @Marf ?

I'm a hard-core Firefox loyalist, but I've switched to Chrome (Chromium, actually) until the changeover settles down and everyone's scripts are updated. The reality is that most of the script devs work in Chrome, and everything is going to work there before it makes its way to Firefox.

Also, I'm also having serious memory issues with Firefox 57. Running scripts can easily lock my computer up, even with 8GB of RAM.

Ooh, yeah, I'm having memory issues, too...with my laptop that is. I have with 6 or 8GB of RAM and it gets so bogged down after a while.

chrome uses a ton of memory too, more than FF i think.

I'm manually searching requester names on Turkopticon.

Today is like a dumpster fire.

Yeah, the trick is staying up wind.

 

[hyzmarca]

Maybe if we work slower requesters will pay more.

I'm doing all right, a little tired today. I'm trying to figure out all this new stuff.
How are you?

Yes. Chrome is known for being a memory HOG.

The new Firefox quantum (v57+) uses a lot more memory than previous versions of Firefox. Mozilla claims it still uses less than Chrome, but that hasn't been my experience so far. Even though Chrome uses more processes, it seems to manage available memory more efficiently. It also seems to be better at releasing memory when your system gets RAM-starved.

I'm sure Firefox will improve, but at the moment I'm having a better turking experience in Chrome/Chromium.

Part of the problem may be that I'm a Linux user. Firefox could be better behaved in Windows.

EDIT: In Mozilla's defense, Firefox quantum is significantly faster than previous versions. It definitely lives up to the hype in that respect. It's also true that every modern browser is a memory hog.

It really does help keep the site running and allows us to make money as well. So if you have some extra money donate. click on the menu and at the bottom is a donate button.
