Did Putin forget to update youe cue card?

Wow Covid really messed with our perception of time huh /s

No way lol. Have you blocked .ml yet?

That’s wild man, my experience has been quite the opposite. I hope you find the users I’m seeing in my feed.

I was like, why specify “one or more” and then make it optional? Isn’t that just .*?

Perhaps you present yourself on Lemmy in an inflammatory way which you do not IRL?

For the record these would all be hilarious, ESPECIALLY Rowling

Oh god was that only last year??

Yes! Well said.

DRY is usually helpful if you don’t use it in situations where you have like 2 semi-different things. If they’re actually the same and you have 3 or more then the level of abstraction is worth it almost always.

Ah, didn’t know +? was lazy, thanks

Code that’s easy to extend generally encourages creating related code that’s easy to delete. These are very similar directives.

The capture group must be the same each time it repeats, so the number of characters stays the same. So X groups of Y characters = string of length X*Y. X and Y can be anything so any string length that can be made by multiplying two numbers-- which is every non-prime string length-- is matched. 0 and 1 are handled specially at the start.

Is there a reason to use (..+?) instead of (.+) ?

No, but it’s going too fast sideways. It would miss the sun. You need to slow it down by the same apeed that Earth is moving, stopping its sideways motion and letting it drop into the sun.

Edit: I like making diagrams. Red is the trajectory you’re expecting. Blue is the Earth’s motion, which adds to that red arrow. Purple is the resulting actual movement of the trash rocket.

Even if you could do this, it would be more effective to just do the “collect all the garbage” part and then store it in a heavily lined container forever.

Yeah, agreed. I was only looking at the OP’s.

The angle of the fingers is all weird. The middle three and the wrist should be pointing up-right, not up.
