    This article, on the main site, links the word 'brillance' to the Paula Bean article of old.

    I see no reason for this to be a thing.

    Why does it bother you? I see no reason for this not to be a thing. It's kind of the point of HTML and the WWW anyways, to be able to link to relevant information.

    Because one of the things about this place, to be honest, is the series of memes that go on here.

    When I first started reading, there were references I didn't get, and I had to go away and read the archives. There's a certain level of self-discovery there. If it's handed to you, it's not the same as discovering it for yourself.

    No one's forcing you to click on a link. Feel free to take all the time you want to figure it out for yourself, while others who don't have or want to spend the time use the extra information that was helpfully provided.

    I realise this. I'm just mindful on the other hand that this particular community is a special level of insular and familiarity with all the memes is generally buttumed around here without there being helpful links all the time.

    Dumb question. Why is it desirable to link directly to the last post, especially if you haven't read the thread yet? If you have read some of the thread already, the link without /[post#] or /last it will take you to the last read post automatically. If you haven't read any, it will take you to the first post, which is surely the desired behaviour?

    One could speak of the pile of, er, Stuff Having Inadequate Teleology that is Discourse, but that would be, for once, unfair. It is, instead, the pile of Stuff Having Inadequate Teleology that is the new look... And yes, it is the desired behaviour (well, desired by me, anyway), especially given the pile of Stuff Having Inadequate Teleology that is Discourse and the behaviour of the scrollbar in the browser window..

    well i'll not speak to the actuall correct behavior. the behavior as implemented is attempting to bring you to the last post in the thread. My PR fixes it so that it's no longer a target for this community to try and abuse.

    As i noted in my PR it should be rejected if another issue (the exact one you are referring to ) is accepted.

    I don't think the performance issue has much to do with the SQL being run, its more to do with the fact that he is busy-waiting on threads:

    while (city.isRunning());

    will use 100% CPU
