  • Favorite "all time" would have me looking through a lot of titles, but I've really been enjoying Adrian Tchaikovsky lately, and some of his is hard SF. Probably Children of Time would be the one I'd start with.

    If you like hard SF, you've probably read Weir (The Martian, Project Hail Mary, others), but he's great.

    I could go on a lot, but maybe I'll keep it there unless you want more.

  • Excellent, thank you. I just cleared my cache and it does seem to have helped a fair amount. Not nearly as fast as in a private window, but probably as fast as .ca is now. Much appreciated, I'm glad I asked.

    I guess that would explain why people who access it with an app don't seem to have the same issue, correct?

  • Hmm, yeah, that one's maybe not as strong, though I kind of look at Network Effect and System Collapse as one story (confusing because there's a book in between them, but that one chronologically comes before Network Effect). I liked it, but agree it's not as strong.

  • Heh, my wife went through the drawer a few years ago and threw away all the containers that didn't have lids, and lids without containers. I was amazed at how many there were. Not sure how that happens. Must be with the missing socks.

  • Funny, I just had to help someone pack a house into one of those POD things and they ended up saying, "You're better at this, you say what goes where."

    I don't think I'm as good at it with really large volumes, but the storage container thing is pretty handy.

  • I'm in the US, in Southern California, so for sure could be contributing. Not sure where .ca is hosted.

    As for an example, I just went to .world on my desktop browser (firefox) and loaded /all /new. It was 16 seconds between the click and all the visible graphics being loaded. The same thing on .ca was just under 5 seconds. On my tablet, the difference is greater.
