Subtle changes, bugs and feedback

Indeed it does. Sort of. But it takes a whole page reload to do. A hover-over or click-to-expand view of the comment being replied to would be smoother.

I chose the words "even slightly borked" very carefully.

I am no longer subscribed to this thread, but I am coming back to it.

I can no longer build Microcosm :)

The Django and Python front-end, relied on a version of Python from 5 years ago, with 3rd party dependencies from 5 years ago, a framework from 5 years ago, all of which were available in operating systems 5 years ago.

For example, this site relies on Django 1.5.9, and Django is presently on version 2 (major version change... a lot of interfaces change and this is major work).

This site relies on python-dateutil 1.4 and date-util is currently 2.6.1 (another major version, breaking interface change).

On the VM build machine... which hasn't changed... microweb (the Web UI for Microcosm) now no longer builds as some of these old dependencies have been deleted from the web.

When I grab the build on my local laptop (Ubuntu 16.04) they don't build because the Python version has shifted too much.

I was going to try and fix the image upload bug... but I cannot spin up a build / test environment.

I had laid the foundation for moving the front-end to Go, and this is now what I'll be focusing on in the evenings for the foreseeable future.

No bug fixes or changes will be done from now until the Go version is finished. And I don't really have a deadline for that (I'm the only person working on it).

Cool (I think?)

Er... scary :)

Will end users see a big difference do you reckon?

Yesterday:

• If someone reports a security bug it would be fixed in minutes or hours
  
• If someone reported a technical bug it would confirmed in days, fixed in days to weeks at my leisure (though sometimes immediately or within hours if I just happened to be working on it)
  
• If someone reported a UI bug/issue it would be confirmed at my leisure
  
  

Today

• If someone reports a security bug I'll hack the fix on the production version and that may be noticeable (minor outages or bugs)
  
• I won't do any other fix
  
  

In the future:

• It will be like yesterday... actually probably faster as I hated working on Django and python anyway :)
  

Speaking of, my phone browser (Chrome on Android) just kicked off saying that a thread was unsafe because it contained content from Kinoko.com, which is a known source of malware...

Probably a link to the now defunct Kinoko bikes online shop (formerly Tokyo Fixed).

The joys of web-dev.

At least you're not using node

As a nice to have, in a future version, if a post has more than 5 pics like this one for example, would it be possible to scroll left and right between the pics?

Some observations about the search. Searching "we are the"or "we are the makers" finds me no results. Despite there being a thread called we are the music makers.
"any" doesn't find me Any Question Answered

we, are, the - are all words in what is known as a stop word list.

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/textsearch-dictionaries.html#TEXTSEARCH-STOPWORDS

Basically, super common words are meaningless for search and are excluded from the indexes.

Searching "makers" on the other hand, returned the result as #1.

Searching "we are the makers" is basically a synonym for the search "makers" and also finds the thread in the #1 spot.

hmmm. "We are the makers" returns results but the music thread is not in either of 2 pages of results for me

'We are the makers' returns We are the music makers - producers? as #1 for me as well.

Maybe I have it on ignore...

Same

ALRIGHT GUYS. i GET IT

Do you have M&M on ignore?

Whats M&M?

It's like S&M but only for pain sluts.

Miscellaneous & Meaningless

That's a bit harsh, I do sometimes say worthwhile things.

But no I do not ignore M&M, not that there's much in there worth reading
