Bumping so maybe ET will get the clue as to why the server’s running so slow atm. (view post) |

I WISH I COULD FIND THE START A RAID bumONMC Banhammer Posted:
Sorry for the confusion, you can lock this topic.
I actually created a Klan called “I WISH I COULD FIND THE START A RAID bumON”.
Unfortunately I was the only person that found it humorous. Log in to see images! (view post) |

A detailed explanation of streaksEvil Trout Posted:
I… really don’t see how it can make things “more complicated”. In fact, it significantly simplifies the implementation! No need to make any queries at all to check for anything… you just run simple string-search and string-chopping functions, which by themselves are even faster than preg_match (perl regular expressions – also not necessary here), and ITSELF is even faster than a single MySQL query! It’s like an all-you-can-eat buffet of optimizations and simplified code, and it really quite boggles my mind as to how you can say it’s “more complicated”...
Perhaps we’re not understanding it the same way? (view post) |

A detailed explanation of streaksspacekadt Posted:
I know… I saw when ET changed it, and I also see the new “streak status” page (although it’d be nice to have it integrated into the forums list somehow). I’ve been waiting to see an update in this topic though, maybe ET can explain what he actually did.
I did put a bit of time and effort into writing that little post up there… I just want to know it was actually read! (view post) |

A detailed explanation of streaks(edit: Expanding on the above inspiration…Log in to see images!
Where “a”, “b”, “c”... represents an 8-bit integer (i.e. 0, 1, 2… 253, 254, 255), let the forum pwnage streak be represented by, for example, afuebwks.
Streak length is determined by the dividing strlen (string length) by 4, since it’s counted in increments of 4. This prevents duplicate awards by only awarding the matching award that will be hit right on the integer when it’s obtained. No need to round or perform calculations. In the above example this will be 2.0, or the second streak increment.
Duplicate detection is determined by searching the streak string for the current forum. So, if I continue the above example, we may have just pwned “e” again. afuebwkse. The search would find that “e” was already pwned, and would chop off from the beginning of the string to, and including, the first (and only at that point) occurrence of “e”, and leave us with bwkse. At this point I don’t know how the administration wishes to handle a decremented pwnage streak – one that was chopped down due to a duplication. If you would like to award the new streak, you could divide strlen by 4 and use the integer result. Or if you prefer not to reward the current streak (unless it matched perfectly with a new increment), you could just break out of the computations and continue.
That should chop the size of your database considerably. Log in to see images!
(edit: This would end up only occupying one table row in the users table for the entire streak calculation algorithm, and would simplify – and error-proof- streak calculation considerably. Log in to see images! ) (edit edit: Also, keep in mind that abcdefg… are just representations of the binary integers that can’t be represented on-screen. This allows for one of up to 255 unique forums to be represented, per byte – now that’s information density at its finest. The information doesn’t need to be presented on screen, so it’s safe to use in a binary table field. Just use string length and string position functions, and call MySQL’s library function mysql_real_escape_string when adding data to the database, to ensure it doesn’t get corrupted.) (view post) |
