RE: Small updates to Utopian.rocks and more
Hey Amos, quick question! As you know the translation category gets a lot of posts, and because of the scoring there are a lot of posts with similar score.
How does the bot deal with that?
Is it a matter of first come first serve, in case there are 2 posts with a let's say 78 score? Is it based on post age? Is it ignored? I'm very curious!
Great work on both the bot and the site!
ps: The site does look amazing again on mobile, great update!
Thanks! There is no specific behaviour for that at the moment. Currently it just uses Python's
sorted()to sort contributions by score, so I'm not sure exactly happens when they have the same score. I can see if I can make sure it's sorted by each contribution's age in the case of scores being the same.Cool! Because I'd understand if it looked at either post-age or time in queue (not sure how often those are very different) to make sure that posts that are older aren't getting butted out of a reward simply by being later to the party, or a post getting shoved down and missing payout because newer posts with slightly higher points keep it out of certain payout range.
I just changed it so it's sorted by creation date first, and then by score. I also added the score of each contribution to Utopian.rocks at the request of @elear, so people can see it for themselves.
Awesome, great change! Thanks for listening to the community :D!
Well, I'm happy to read this, because I missed out on two votes last week. And to be honest, it wasn't very appealing to continue translating after that. I saw new posts rising above mine in the queue, and eventually bumping my post out of the queue :(
