Basically if you need the same logic in two places instead of copying it to the second place you make it into a function and use that function in both places.
That way if you need that logic to change you only need to make that edit once regardless of whether you use it one time or one thousand times.
The secret source of humor isn’t joy but sorrow. - Mark Twain
The situation is dire but not serious - Viennese proverb
Life is too important to take it serious. - ome other proverb
Levity is good. It relieves tension and the fear of death - T80
Humanity has a long tradition of lightening the mood in dark situations with (sometimes inappropriate) humor. Internet memes are simply one of the newer iterations…
It’s SinnERman - he’s not a spice, Maze!
They had Emma Watson!
Uhm. GoT isn’t exactly the first to use this expression…
The Lemmy Project has been activated. You are our first and last line of defense!
It’s a joke an the futility of linguistic prescriptivism. I might not have represented it well but the whole punchline is that this ship has sailed long ago.
The difference in survival probably stems from a single hyphen.
Mint grows like a fucking weed. Silphium grew like a fucking-weed.
Good time to plug Dara O’Brian: don’t do that. One day you’re gonna have kids and need these words in their normal context. Your kid is gonna come in with muddy shoes and you’re all “oh my. You’re a dirty girl.” and then you’ll ask yourself wtf you just said to your own kid.
Some words and expressions need to stay with their original meaning! These include:
Tonight it’s just you, me, a bottle of olive oil and a “seven step program”.
Technically no. A slice needs to have been - well - sliced at least once. There is however no clear requirement how large the remaining slice needs to be…
It just recently hit me out of the blue that Ellen Tigh from BSG is the same actress as one of the vampires in Kindred the Embraced, a show that I only ever saw one episode of.
After watching John Wick 4 it kept bothering me to no end where I knew that German Clan leader from. It kept rattling in my head during the drive home to the point where I considered, stopping somewhere and googling it. I decided to let it go and google it when I’m home. 5 minutes later my mind screams: Tonks! Nymphadora Tonks!
I looked it up and it can indeed go up to 13.5% inclination but they can only run powered cars, no attached wagons. That reduces capacity.
I don’t want to shit on trams. I don’t like this bus vs tram bashing in either direction. I’ll happily take either improvement over a sea of cars…
How is a tram safer?
The tram supremacy doesn’t lie in the inherent nature of the technology but in the way we treat it! Trams get:
In short, they are (usually) treated like public transport. Busses on the other hand are too often treated like just another car that’s thrown in with the rest but also has the obligations of public transport. If you treated trams like that (sharing the road, waiting behind cars) they would be even worse than busses.
but it’s less portable and more verbose
you misspelled “less obtuse and more expressive”
Also it doesn’t compete with regex. It’s an abstraction layer. You know, the thing programmers have been building since the dawn of programming to make everyone’s lives easier. There’s a reason why everyone who has the option to has stopped working directly with assembly and C.
Sure. I just very rarely need just basic regexes.
And once you go beyond these the syntax gets very obtuse. Which means I’m spending an hour+ googling something close to what I need and then using a sandbox to try and tweak it until it does what I need. Then I paste something into my code that I won’t understand anymore 5 minutes into the future - which isn’t exactly great for maintainability.
me for example. I don’t write regex often enough to be really familar with the cryptic syntax. But I do use them every once in a while and dread the occasion every time. Having a more expressive way to write pattern matching instructions would be really useful to me.
I am very much in the market for a way to do regex without resorting to incantations that look like someone spilled a bag of special characters. Just not on JS…
You seem to be the author. A suggestion to you. You should really rethink your playground. All it currently does is turning melody into regex, which is important to have for comparison. But you’re specifically courting people who DON’T want to deal with regex syntax. What you desperately need is a way to run melody expressions. And - if possible - a way to translate regex into melody wouldn’t hurt as well.
Many (most?) of us tend to google regex on the web and pasting them in our code. Having them converted into a syntax that we can better understand would be hugely helpful.
You definitely should turn her on before you start stirring…
