minified exception – Lee Duigon

I still don’t know what a minified exception is, or why it was necessary to warn me that one had occurred.

What is the blooming point of any message that sounds like Constable Chumley wrote it?

An Unintelligible Message

We have more communications devices and less communication than ever before in human history. Have you tried to talk to anyone who’s always up to his eyebrows in text messages? “Use the non-minified dev environment…” Gee, thanks for that advice!

What is our civilization’s chief problem? No, it’s not “systemic racism”!

It’s systemic idiocy–and good luck trying to solve it!

Lately when I go to edit my posts, I find this cryptic message, in red, displayed across the top of the page. See what you can make of it.

“Minified exception occurred, use the non-minified dev environment for the full error message and additional helpful warnings.”

It would take Daniel to figure this out, and I’m not him.

Should I be scared? Is something bad about to happen to my blog? Or even to my computer? As the message corresponds to no known variant of English, I have no idea what they’re trying to tell me–whoever they are. Aliens, maybe, who’ve monitored our radio and TV transmissions without coming close to understanding them.

I mean, what is the blooming point of issuing a warning to me that I can’t make head nor tail of? Even the Smothers Brothers made more sense than that. (“Why did you yell ‘Fire!’ when you fell into the chocolate?” “Because no one would’ve come if I’d yelled ‘Chocolate!'”)

Anybody out there able to interpret this? Standing by for further instructions.
