    I was trying to fix some typos on the Science of Logic page. It’s terribly slow editing online, and then I get timed out when submitting the changes. Is the nLab particularly slow today?

    Anyway, I have the text with corrections in a file. Perhaps we are going to have to keep pages much shorter.

    It often happens that after submit one gets a timeout message, but that the submission has nevertheless been saved. Check if maybe your edits are up after all.

    But, yeah, it’s ridiculously slow and awkward. Yesterday I had asked Adeel to restart the server. That helped a bit.

    No, the edits weren’t saved. I’ve just tried again, and had no luck.

    I guess we could look to keep each page to a manageable length.

    We could split the page in two or more pieces. But it will be work to adjust all the cross-pointers.

    Couldn’t a big page be split up using includes?

    The source for “BigPage” would contain stuff like

    [[!include BigPage > part1]]

    [[!include BigPage > part2]]

    [[!include BigPage > part3]]

    Yeah, it might be a pain to figure out which part to edit, and after that part was edited I think you would have to make a trivial change to “BigPage” (such as adding a space) to get it to regenerate from it’s includes.

    This would allow links to BigPage or sections within without caring which part contributed the info.

    I get the impression that the nLab choking on large texts is an intermittent thing - that BigPage can be generated but maybe not right now.

    If that solves the problem, that would be a good option!

    Myself, I don’t have the time to try this on the entry Science of Logic right now, since I am busy with editing a bunch of other long pages…

    But could this possibly help? I doubt that the “include” functionality pre-compiles any rendering. Probably it simply concatenates all the included source code and sends it to the renderer just the same way that it is send when we hit “submit”. Which would mean that it wouldn’t solve the problem.

    David, I just had the timeout problem with another long page. What helped was to close the browser, restart it and try again. Seriously. I don’t know how much energy you have left for experimenting, but maybe it’s worth a try.

    One could almost believe it an anti-Hegelian conspiracy. Now at the discussion for Science of Logic I see:

    error on line 92 at column 19: Extra content at the end of the document

    Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

    Well, you must be blessed. All I get is a blank page, which when I examine the source I find it ends at

    And the discussion Type-semantics for quantization is affected too.
