Logged on 2020-06-15 21:35:09 thimbronion: billymg: I recently set up an mp-wp using all the patches available as of Sat. and noticed that js selection is no longer supported. Is that correct?

08:18

thimbronion: jfw published the patch for finally removing the old js selector from the trunk of mp-wp, and then i followed that up with adding the server-side select mechanism to

08:18

what is now the "parse and format my posts" plugin (formerly footnotes only)

08:21

thimbronion: if you're running mp-wp off of version 631542 then server-side select should work out of the box. maybe double check the root .htaccess file to make sure this line is present?

08:23

that's my best guess, if it's still not working let me know and i can look closer

billymg: thanks I will investigate and see what's going on with the .htaccess file.

Logged on 2020-06-15 18:49:30 billymg: if anyone is interested in a fresh version of mp-wp weighing half the size of the original genesis i just published a patch for it here http://billymg.com/2020/06/the-mp-wp-weightloss-program-removing-javascript/

13:51

( for comparison : trb src weighs ~700kB, consisting of ~22k loc . )

asciilifeform: i wish i could say for sure but have not yet looked closely enough at what remains

17:50

i'm confident *much* more can be cut though, yes

17:51

*

asciilifeform has nfi; even possible that php is sufficiently cobolesque that it in fact takes 3MB of it to make a blogotron..

17:53

asciilifeform: 220kB in empty directories, at least the way `du -h` counts it on my machine

17:54

96kB for a text diffing engine, and 188kB for images (smilies and such)

17:54

ugh

17:54

those look like easy candidates for a future slimming patch

17:55

i was also going to take a stab at writing a static analysis script to identify methods that are defined but never called

17:55

(if anyone has one handy, plz let me know)

17:55

i'm sure there are a fe

17:55

few*

17:55

billymg: any idea where the diff engine gets used ?

17:55

i dun recall any such thing on the user knobs end in wp

17:55

asciilifeform: can't say for sure, possibly with the "upgrade my version of wordpress" feature

17:56

(which i have listed in my head for removal)

17:56

*

asciilifeform naively pictured that kinda thing would've been ~first~ on chopping block when mp orig. cut it

17:57

asciilifeform: regarding empty directories not deleted by V, has this been discussed before?

17:57

billymg: it was discussed, phf even promised a fix back in... '18

17:57

along w/ proper handling of file rename

17:59

asciilifeform: there are also a lot of comments for auto-gen'd documentation. i haven't counted up to see how much of the weight comes from comments specifically yet but could add up to 10-20% maybe

18:00

which seems like it's fine to leave in

18:00

specifically autogenned comments ?

18:00

what good do these possibly do ?

18:00

i mean the method annotatoin type comments, used for autogenerating documentation

18:00

annotation*
