What is the real problem on having duplicates? They are only 1 KB files.
Having duplicates with different names is even better, and helps to find it more easily in the future: let's say I have bookmarked 2 times this question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19165259/python-numpy-scipy-curve-fitting https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19165259/python-numpy-sc...:
1. "python numpy/scipy curve fitting"
2. "scipy.optimize.curve_fit question"
Later I can find it with query="curve fitting", or I can also find it with query="optimize". So it increases the chance of me finding it again :)
- suddenclarity 2y agoIt's probably tied to how I use bookmarks but I strive for quality over quantity. Some are just temporary until I get the chance to write down the important information or watch the video - others are more constant, but when I go through and purge bookmarks I want them gone. They will just clutter my bookmarks, waste time and make it difficult to find things. In your example about bookmarking the question I would instead transcribe the knowledge to Obsidian and link to the source. Not saying there's a right or wrong. Just down to how people treat bookmarks.
- eviks 2y agoThe problem with dupes is pollution, e.g. of search results, and increased cost of maintenance In your example, how do you add/change tags for the same url if you have multiple files (and you don't even know how many)?
