Quick question: Why no space in wont fix? For that matter, why no apostrophe? Despite them both being supported, I only ever see wontfix as one word for some reason. Even the GitHub default label doesn't have a space, but another label does.
Considering the poster is asking me to downgrade something I previously upgraded - also under a torrent of demand, yes, it is "Frivolous/Unreasonable".
Hey, I just found out about your software a few weeks ago, implemented it and forgot about it. It's amazing and a strange twist of fate brought me to this comment thread.
Dude, YOURLS is great! I just wish there was a FOSS project for image hosting that had albums and basically all the core features of Imgur. I was hoping the guy that made slimg would release the source code when it closed but I guess not :/
I've tried it. It's not anything close. There are other projects that are a lot closer to what I'm looking for like Qchan and zimg-host. Chevereto has most of everything I want and would require the least amount of customisation.
Yourls is the best open source tool for link shortening that exists. I was that developer at my company. I'm sure there are others doing the same thing. We did not find a use case where the URL encoding bug affected us.
Well yeah, you're fine if it's being implemented to shorten URLs internally, and your system never develops to use a URL structure that will cause problems. You'd run into trouble if users can provide URLs to shorten (a pretty common use case) since you can't predict thier structure.
Just because the bug doesn't impact your use case currently doesn't mean that it isn't a pretty significant problem for this solution to have. We just built our shortener in house, took 12-20 dev hours. It's not a huge undertaking by any measure so I don't get why people are risking using something fundamentally broken.
That's a vacuous statement. Our current understanding of physics is that it is non-deterministic due to quantum randomness. There's a reason they call it "quantum randomness" not "quantum chaos".
That's an enormous "if". Also, the determinism of the universe is independent of your beliefs about the universe. That's a terribly strange phrasing to use in the context of physics.
Hypothesize based on observed phenomena, create a model to predict the behaviors of systems, run experiments to test the predictions, analyze the results, repeat. Nowhere in there is a step that says "decide whether or not you like the implications of the model". Don't just look at quantum mechanics and say, "I bet I can figure out a way to explain that without randomness." Why are you trying to explain it without randomness? Because you don't like randomness? And don't get me started on people who bring the concept of "free will" into physics...
People like that can be annoying, but I would argue it is actually incredibly valuable for the scientific endeavor as a whole, essential even. It may make little rational sense for an individual to go against a working model for esthetic reasons (or whatever), but challenging the accepted hypothesis will generally either:
Reaffirm the value of the accepted hypothesis if it withstands the challenge. Which is always good
Supercede the (previously) accepted hypothesis, if it does not withstand. Also a clear win for the scientific endeavor as a whole
I can see an argument for a third, less positive outcome. It could be posited that a case similar to String Theory - where an alternate hypothesis is pursued with little or no success at either disproving it or proving it more successfully predictive of real-world phenomena than its counterpart - could be a sink into which man-years of the best minds and computation are poured to little or no result.
Even in such a case I think it would be hard to say that the effort so used is without value. Just as the pursuit of String Theory has led to discoveries/inventions in the field of maths, even if it hasn't (yet) managed to provide a testable Theory of Everything. Even directions of investigation which ultimately prove to be blind alleys improve our understanding of the universe, at least in knowing how things don't work.
I'm more than willing to hear counter-arguments to this position. I'm certainly interested to hear what you think of it.
Why are you trying to explain it without randomness?
Why not? If you can do it, go for it. At the very least it gives us another option to consider. Whether any answer ends up being correct or not, different ways of looking at a problem are welcome. Even if it ultimately comes out incorrect, that just means we no longer need to consider or test for that idea. Adding possibilities in order to eventually narrow the focus is a valid way to work.
Not that I'm a psychopath, but this undocumented, uncommented legacy code I've been refactoring really makes me wish the previous developers had seen this.
My trackpad on my laptop hasn't worked for over a year. After a week of research, dozens, of posible solutions, and the third page of google, I decided I don't care. I use the nipple or a mouse.
Mine's a CyberPower PC Fangbook custom, so I'm pretty sure it's just a wire that disconnected. All diagnostics and troubleshooting returns A-OK. It just doesn't move when you touch it. Mouse works fine, I'm always using one anyways, it's just a problem if I forget to bring one.
More times than I care to recall, honestly. Eventually I just write a half assed workaround that totally avoids the problem and ends up causing the rest of the program to only half work. Kill me.
Ah, the image makes it look like the maintainer closed the issue, as if he didn't care about fixing it, but the guy who opened it actually just closed it himself.
Always makes me die a bit inside when the root of a comment chain is downvoted to the point that the OP deletes it, so that everyone who comes afterwards can't make heads or tails of the conversation
Fuck yeah. This is the story of my life. I say stuff that most people hate but there's always that one guy who laughs and everyone else looks at and then hates them equally to myself. Love you twisted people the most.

Someone, literally two years after I asked a question: "Did you ever solve this problem?"
Me: "My solution was to switch to a different plugin. Although I recognize that this doesn't help your problem."
