These days my computer frequently got… stuck when I visited mathematica.stackexhange.com and clicked those questions. It seems only to happen one time a day and usually it stucks for less than 1 minute. I use Chrome 25. I'm not sure whether it's something wrong with my browser or not. Has anyone encountered the same problem?
@xzczd yes. I find that the MathJax script is very slow to load sometimes, but once it's cached, it's okay. If you want to speed things up and can do without MathJax, you could try disabling JavaScript temporarily.
@acl the vast majority of the original question was personal anecdotes and irrelevant observations. I thought if it was to stand any chance at all it should be completely rewritten
@rm-rf I tend to do the same. I was discussing with some friends what is the threshold for stating that you are competent in Fortran (as a physical scientist, not a programmer). I thought 5-10 years of regular use and several hundred kloc. They took the view that if you have enough experience with it to appreciate the general principles and can pick the rest of it up as you go along, that's sufficient.
@OleksandrR. but that is the threshold to say "I am competent in", not "I am familiar with". So I think it depends on what one means by "familiar with"
