Better title: "SQLite: Infinite loop due to the ORDER BY LIMIT optimization"



Changed from "SQLite: View Ticket". Thanks!


To start a tangent @dang: Do you really read every individual comment, or is there some pattern matching on specific strings like 'Better title'? If so, what are the patterns?

Just want to know if we can help you in any way. I'm in awe of moderation efficiency on this site.


There are too many comments to read them all. We rely on flags, emails, browsing the threads, and a few tricks. But not really pattern matching on strings.

I once thought it would be fun to have a control DSL for HN, such that people could plant phrases in comments to signal things to either moderators or the software. Like most ideas of that sort, it never made it over the 'too complicated' speed bump.


I contacted @dang asking to change the title since the edit period had passed. To his credit, he responded in less than 20 minutes, after hours.


My guess is that they can check who flagged a post, then just view those users' recent comments.


Thanks for fixing my mistake on the title :)
