SO tends to have multiple HNQs at any given time. As a result, the algorithm penalizes all but the "hottest" of them, and they drop off pretty quickly.
As I know JVM before launching a Java application it allocates some piece of RAM for it, and this memory could be controlled by user before launching. But there is another problem when I launch an app it has a different time execution each time.
Here is a very simple example with for loop:

With g++ 5.4, this
struct B {
void f() {}
};
struct D : public B {
void g() {}
};
template <class T>
void foo(void (T::*)(), void (T::*)())
{}
int main()
{
foo(&D::f, &D::g);
}
fails due to "deduced conflicting types for parameter ‘T’ (‘B’ and ‘D’)". Why isn't T deduced as D, ...

Why is there not an option to close a post on Stack Overflow and migrate it to Code Review?
I can move it to other Stack Exchange sites, but only 5-6 of them. Is it because Code Review it a beta?
@Catija right; that's how they tend to rack up the views though. SO will tend to have multiple questions asked in any given day show up in the list, but very few will last for more than a day.
@Catija that's the reason for the "debuffs" as you call them: the entire list would be SO questions if it used the same weights applied to other sites.
@Shog9 Yeah, but I know that a lot of people have wondered why other sites don't get similar treatment... or if there should be a stronger debuff for multiple questions from the same sites? It seems silly for one site to have 10% of the the HNQ... or even 5%.
@Catija I think a big part of it is that HNQ on sites like the workplace and ips are questions that make people go "huh, thats interesting" when reading titles
A question enters HNQ. The question has a clickbaity (for lack of a more nuanced description) title and earns lots of votes very quickly. It thus stays on HNQ
Nobody gets really drama-consuming enthusiastic about a question about turbo C++. But some juicy thing in workplace or IPS is like a fix in the middle of a otherwise boring workday to the millions of programmers that peruse stack
@Catija think of it this way: the older a given question is, the more activity (votes, answers) it needs to stay in the list. It can't just hit a level and sit there - if folks stop voting and answering, or even slow down, it drops off. So stuff can end up on the list with just a few votes, but it'll only be there for a few minutes unless it gets more votes and more answers; at some point, you it peak interest and it falls off. Some topics take a lot longer to "peak" than others.
But if the goal is to get people to realize that there's more network out there... and there are over 100 sites, it seems ... wrong (?) to have one site sitting in 5 of the 100 HNQ slots... particularly when you have, say 3 sites taking up 20 of them total.
@Shog9 I understand that... I'm not asking about that.
Guaranteed, there are a few thousand people viewing SO on any given day with an interest in just about any topic. Some fraction of them will see it, some smaller fraction will be able to vote, some yet smaller fraction will vote... So your obscure statistics question gets a nice little +10 instead of the +3 it would've had otherwise.
or, to use Magisch's example, your Judaism question gets +6 instead of +3
it's a small bump (in votes; large bump in views), so it doesn't really scream "HOT" to a casual viewer
The problem with broadly-applicable - and particularly more subjective - sites is the same problem we had with these topics when they were more commonly allowed on SO: everyone thinks they can answer them.
you can get a couple thousand views on that stats question or that Judaism question, and not a one of those readers will try to answer... But if the question is about talking to your boss, every 10th reader is gonna try & chime in.
On SO, we ended up with questions that got hundreds of answers.
Now, auto-protect kicks in after a fairly small number (on all sites; somewhat higher on SO)
Anyway... To the point of why allow multiple questions from a given site (or, why not penalize them more heavily): the current logic is not very dynamic. Which is to say, if one site has one week out of the year where multiple questions get "hot" every day there's no way to apply a penalty for just that week (without manually adjusting it multiple times).
A lot of sites start out having more hot questions than is usual, simply because folks are voting more (and answering more) on fewer questions.
the last thing we'd want to do is apply a penalty at that point!
Graduation (whatever that means; for our purposes here, some level of stability) is probably a good time to consider that: if the site is perpetually "hot", then debuff; if not, leave it be.
@Shog9 The equation already has a penalty for additional questions, I was mostly thinking it could be made into a steeper ramp for the 4th question and up. While it's not right now, I do regularly see 8-9 questions from PPCG on the HNQ at the same time.
> Succeeding questions from the same site are penalized by increasing amounts. So, the first question from SO in the list gets multiplied by 1.0, the second by 0.98, the third by 0.96, etc).
That seems like a pretty tiny penalty.
Though, I suppose I'm assuming that it continues to drop in 0.02 increments after that.
@Catija it does. And... There tends to be a pretty long tail of questions with fairly similar scores to start with, so losing 2%... 4%... 6% starts to make a huge difference
For example: right about now, this question and this question have pretty much identical scores... But the RPG question is getting penalized because there are a ton of RPG questions in the list right now for some reason. So it's pretty near the bottom of the list.
Is there a way to hide questions in Hot Network Questions based on the community?
I know I can do it by tag so I am hoping there is a way to do it by community such as a generic tag that represents everything in that community.
For instance, I would like to hide anything from role playing games.
Migrations clear downvotes... right? That Search question from MSO came over with downvotes. It was migrated at 23:12:32 and has a downvote registered at 23:10:59.
What is migration?
Migration allows an off-topic question to be gracefully moved to another site in the Stack Exchange network. It preserves the current revision of the question, all its answers, any comments on any post, as well as most of the votes.
Side effects of migration
Down votes are ...
> Down votes are cleared from the question upon its migration
If that's incorrect, that sounds like we need to update the FAQ to reflect it?
From my notes on this the last time I looked this up:
> An interesting side-effect here is that for positively-scored posts, downvotes are reconstituted on the destination - so if your answer is +5 -5, you'll end up with 40 points, while +5 -6 will give you 0.
Going back to the original scenario in which the tool was created, there were a bunch of topics that were kinda borderline on SO and suddenly there was a site for them. So migration was created to allow them to be moved to the new sites (SF, then SU then Meta) with a minimal amount of disruption: links still worked, answers were still ranked the same, folks lost rep on one site and gained it on another.
Then we got into the weeds with migrations on new questions.
Those often would be downvoted (because they were asked on the wrong site when there was a right site to ask them on), which prompted Greg's feature request to reset them.
@Catija doesn't make them bad either, necessarily. But it does mean that they get reset.
buuut...
Another wrinkle worth keeping in mind is that deleted answers don't get migrated at all. They stay, deleted, on the original question (which also is eventually deleted) along with the now-deleted versions of answers that were migrated.
So a conscientious migrator will delete blatantly worthless answers prior to migrating.
So... if I had a question asked on IPS that the OP wanted migrated to Bicycles... let's just say... But some of the answers weren't appropriate for that site... should I remove them?
Not only is it less work for folks at the destination to clean up, but also there's a pretty good chance the authors won't go with 'em and so calls for improvement will go unheard.

As Jon has suggested, a migrated question with a negative score will now be reset to 0.
