An important comment on the bug from a Chromium employee [0] Hacker News crowd, let's please stop the "me too" party here, and please file separate bugs for separate issues (even if they're similar). Keeping the signal-to-noise ratio sane on this one raises the chances that it gets addressed :) So you can help by only commenting if you have technical comments on how to fix the problem in Chrome. It'd be a shame if we…

Isn't it nice to know that there really are a bunch of other people who:

1. Have the problem

2. Take the time to voice their wish for a fix

Even the coolest bug will remain unfixed if only one person reports it.

Is that true? The priority of the bug should depend on the properties of the bug and not on the number of bug reporters.

You can always tell if something is garbage on here by looking at the average length of the comments. Almost every single comment on this link is an inane one-liner that adds nothing to any meaningful discussion. And lo and behold, it's the same sort of shitty discussion as on the bug report itself. Compare this with the comments on the 21 Nested Callbacks link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5447287

Agreed. I'd pay for a Chrome extension that would score HN stories by this metric.

You can star it. That would tell the developers how many people care about it in O(1) time, without having to wade through O(n) comments.

Alright, O(log n) time.

One rather important property is how many people are suffering from it.

I run into similar situations whenever I restart my browser. All of the YouTube tabs I had open from before start playing simultaneously (at any given time I often have some tabs with videos paused, ready for me to watch later). It's quite distracting and takes some effort to find and stop them all. I think a good solution for both of our problems would be to not load any of the Flash content in a particular tab if t…

Firefox does something like this. It doesn't load tab content on restart until the tab gains focus.

is it the default? I thought you had to explictly enable that

"This is serious. Though it never occurred on my computer because I use neither Windows nor Chrome but I support this anyway in the name of humanity." In the name of humanity, wouldn't it be nice if people were in the habit of shutting their computers down, rather than letting them burn through electricity all night long?

It's 2013, I haven't shut a computer down in 4 years. Hibernate everything.

It's 2013, and hibernation is broken in Ubuntu! :(

I absolutely despise this trend of having software open stuff up automatically as if it's somehow helping. OS X is the biggest offender, for example; when Photoshop decides to just freak out opening a file, so you close photoshop, then reopen and it tries to reopen all your old files, including the one that's causing the problems. What sort of sadist wants 10 PSDs to open all at once? I miss the good old days when yo…

Don't even get me started on what they did to Textedit. Apparently there's no such thing as saving anymore - it does it for you automatically.

That one has bit me quite a few times...

Why O(log n)? Is there a binary search involved somewhere (for example)? All you have got to do to find out how many people voted for it is to look at the vote count and this seems like an O(1) operation doesn't it?
