@gmazzap @Rarst my take on the wp approach to problems...
Mark Kaplun

WOW never knew that wp_rewrite was actually designed
"put together" I assume reflect better how it was created
userabuser
userabuser
@MarkKaplun "I assume reflect better how it was created" what does that mean?
Mark Kaplun
Mark Kaplun
it was most likely just hacked together
userabuser
userabuser
ah k gotcha... yeah, looks that way; few years of iteration.
Mark Kaplun
Mark Kaplun
yeh
the name might be the most confusing part of it as it doesn't actually rewrite anything.....
userabuser
userabuser
yeah haha
toscho

It has been rewritten multiple times
userabuser
userabuser
ahhh that's why it's called WP_Rewrite?
toscho
toscho
WP_Rewritten …
userabuser
userabuser
lol
Mark Kaplun
Mark Kaplun

LOL

It's a todo list, meaning: rewrite WP

My favorite doc block: 
	/**
	 * Generate rewrite rules from a permalink structure.
	 *
	 * The main WP_Rewrite function for building the rewrite rule list. The
	 * contents of the function is a mix of black magic and regular expressions,
	 * so best just ignore the contents and move to the parameters.
	 *

And don't forget its evil twin brother redirect_canonical()
Mark Kaplun
Mark Kaplun
now that is truely evil
userabuser
userabuser
have you ever tried to follow logic in redirect_canonical? A few times I have and was like.. "nope... cya"
toscho
toscho
It has a cyclomatic complexity of 10 insanillion … no one understands it.
userabuser
userabuser
03:45
haha
I can imagine the guy who was writing this: "just don't look back... keep moving... keep moving"
Mark Kaplun
Mark Kaplun
hmmmm, isn't it exactly how most WP code is written ;)
ok, that sould have been a sad smiley in the end
userabuser
userabuser

@userabuser slow clap
userabuser
userabuser
your trademark move, the slow clap
Rarst

to be fair Ryan was trying... more than usual there

Yes I understand which is why I wasn't using profanity; however it illustrates a circular problem. Giesepp... says here is a problem... they say ... "I don't see the problem the way you see it"... therefore it's not really a problem.
Rarst
Rarst
I think it's lack of perspective. if WP is only/main thing you know you can admit Rewrite is bad, but have little scale of just how bad it is, it-works-right
userabuser
userabuser
I agree there

Haven't been around here in a while. New site looks good. Did they get rid of bounties?
Rarst
Rarst
15:56
hm? why would they?
Michael Ecklund
Michael Ecklund
I can't seem to find it?
How do you browse questions with bounties?
Rarst
Rarst
16:08
hm, curious, don't see the view...
Mark Kaplun
Mark Kaplun
maybe no such questions right now?
I am sure it was there few days ago
Rarst
Rarst
that might be it :)

@iantsch @lkraav no problem

userabuser

@Rarst You like working with Yoast?
Rarst
Rarst
16:24
so far so good :)
Michael Ecklund
Michael Ecklund
I only know of Joost by online presence. He seems like a good guy.
Rarst
Rarst
he is, though he rubs some people wrong way :) loudly opinionated and stuff
toscho
toscho
@MichaelEcklund Featured questions tab
Michael Ecklund
Michael Ecklund
The tab must be hidden with no current open bounties? I click on "questions" and there's no "featured questions" listed as an option.
userabuser
userabuser
yeah it gets hidden
Michael Ecklund
Michael Ecklund
16:32
Anyhoo, just thought that was odd. Maybe it's expected.
Mark Kaplun
Mark Kaplun
16:42
no, it is bad UX to hide thing just because they are not usefull this second. Make for harder discovery

I thought that in 2016 there was no more danger of having a SVN vs Git dispute
Mark Kaplun
Mark Kaplun
na, it is like BSD vs GPL. When those disputes will end it will be sure sign that humanity went extinct :)
