The commit is great. I love that the comments have spiraled completely out of control. At this point, 30 minutes after the link was posted, the comment thread is now a competition to see who can post the best gif. I know we're serious here, but stuff like this reminds me why I love the internet so much. It's fun to cut loose once in a while.

I think it's great too, but I shudder to think what it might look like 5 years from now. I can only figure that there will be dead gifs everywhere

I think most of those gifs are hosted on github. I tried to post a linked image, and it only showed the hyperlink. When I uploaded the image to github, it showed up inline.

No. Concern trolling and tone policing needs to fuck right the fuck off. Do you find you have much success motivating people when you use this tone of voice? I reported this issue in February. Others have reported it before I did. What is Composer's response? Silence and negligence while its maintainers go to cons and drink beer. Their priorities are totally fucking backwards. I would strongly advise using less infla…

I think they're doing it on purpose now. They've fixed it for themselves but are hiding said fix from you specifically. The cheeky bastards.

Damn. The clever bastards. Probably switched to Trac/SVN because they know I only bother with Git.

I attempted to be civil months ago. It got ignored.

You pointed out a valid concern, a few people kicked the tyres of it, and when it turned out that the fix entails a good deal of work - something you've skipped over - you decided to become "rude."

My goal is to fix the problem

As I said, your current method of trying to get it fixed plainly isn't working.

If you start and end at the same place (i.e. nothing gets done), the only difference being that you've made people want to actively avoid you, is that a good result for you?

Agreed. It's such a shame that HackerNews doesn't let you post animated GIFs - I think it'd really add a lot of value to the discussions here.

I'm hoping this is sarcasm since I don't think I've seen a single intelligent discussion in my life that was helped along by a funny GIF.

Not to say there's anything wrong with funny GIF's, but I come to HN exactly because it moderates away that sort of stuff.

People actively avoiding me means I don't have to deal with people. This is a good thing, yes.

That's all I need to know - good work!

For those looking for a technical explanation, the PHP garbage collector in this case is probably wasting a ton of CPU cycles trying to collect thousands of objects (a LOT of objects are created to represent all the inter-package rules when solving dependencies) during the solving process. It keeps trying and trying as objects are allocated and it can not collect anything but still has to check them all every time it…

Couldn't I also speed up Composer by using Toran Proxy? ( https://toranproxy.com/ )
