I've had lots of programs, libraries and scripts freak out from having whitespace in a file path.
> I said something that was clearly not accurate and people pushed back
Is my life experience invalid? It's a needless error that i never want to deal with again. I cover my mouth when i cough, i use my turn signal when changing lanes, and i don't put whitespace in a filepath or a URL. It's that simple.
What i cannot fathom for the life of me, on HN of all places, is vehemently defending a practice that is not guaranteed to work 100% of the time: "Well iiiive never grazed an oven coil pulling a potroast out of the oven so obviously this guy is an idiot for advocating oven mitts." Give me a break dude.
It’s almost as if, get this, it’s not a problem, let alone anywhere even remotely in the vicinity of a problem of the scale and magnitude you claim it to be.
It’s almost as if people in 2023 get by fine with spaces in their filenames whereas you seem to be stuck squarely in the 1980s.
I know, it’s a crazy idea. Those kids and their insanity. /s
You know, my main hobby is writing ASM for classic video game consoles, and my opinions and experience involves lots of janky / homemade / antiquated programs, so honestly you're not wrong =p
