In case there are any UK Aspies are interested in that documentary that I wrote about, it's available to view on iplayer, the documentary makers are Horizon:

This link mentions it and is not the broadcast itself.

No. That was claire333 that mentioned that, and I answered her post - that it was an optimisation employed by Alex, to cut down on the rate of updates to the database, by adding three on each third view..

It's broken though. I went to a long dead thread (to make sure noone else was viewing too) and the view counter increments by 3 for every 2nd view, not every 3rd view.

I'm afraid you haven't quite seen what is going on.

A view count is being maintained, but only ever as a multiple of three.

Each time a view occurs, there is no way to tell whether this is the first, second or third time that the thread has been viewed, since last changing the count by three, because those intermediate values of the count aren't recorded - anywhere.

In fact, the software chooses, at randow, two times out of three to ignore the view.

On the one chance in three that it does not ignore the view, it updates the database by a count of three.

The result is that the view count is not precise, just approximate.

For example, if a new thread receives three real views:

There is one chance in 27 that it will show a view count of nine.
There is a 2/9 chance that it will show a view count of six.
There is a 4/9 chance that it will show the correct real count.
There is an 8/27 chance that it will still show a view count of zero.

Taken over time, the displayed view count will differ from the real view count. Statistically, the deviation from the real count is expected to be proportionate to the square root of the count. I.e. when it shows 10,000 views, it may be out by about 1%.

Thank you! Don't know why I mentioned that. No big deal, just turned 49, scares me a bit, feel like I'm still 19. Sweet of you.

Seems to me like good 'ol garyww wants this forum exclusive for himself. Guess people in the specter is as different as most people, not one single person are just exactly like you or me. But there is no doubt that people in the specter tend to look at the world in certain ways, and that it sometimes can be soothing to find out that your not alone.
I have not been official diagnosed, but been told by several meds and about ten tests that I might have mild aspergers or some autism. I just might get official diagnosed, or not-depends of what are my gains, or loss, see?
I could, however, just said diagnosed in my profile, but as most things I do in life, I prefer to be honest. But it might come a day when you need a licence to discuss matters that concerns you. By the way, today is my birthday.

Gratulerer med dagen!

and drink a beer for me too will you, i have the flu at the moment so no beer for me:)

Ha, ha! That was funny. I love beer, also belgian, or spanish, or whatever. I allways have some stupid remarks, I could have said beer, and then the issue never had happened, but I had to say norwegian, and there we go. Just happened to be the truth. Not like I mean norwegian beer are better. Beer, period.
