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.
Me I played 5-player Earth on tuesday. It was fun playing it with the full group and amazing how it was still basically the same play length! What wasn't so nice was that I got absolutely wrecked in terms of points.
On wednesday we had our last DnD session for a while. After this there's like two months where at least one of us is away or busy every week. We hoped that we might be able to finish the campaign but the dungeon just continues with no end in sight. After discovering yet another arm of the network the wizard and the cleric suggested to the group to storm the previous horde of monsters with the very tough enemy that whomped us previously. They were eager to put their new spells into use, while the other two were very hesitant to risk another potential wipe. It ultimately came down each player rolling persuasion. The cleric and the wizard succeeded and the battle was swift and decisive. A 1-2 combo from the cleric's and the wizard's made short work of the zombies while a few rounds of concentrated fire on the baddie subdued that one as well.
On sunday my GF and I played Thanos Rising. After rolling nothing but red infinity stones (unable to heal heroes or use bonus tokens) for a while and getting a very nasty sector with 3 enemies it came down to a risky move. Go in and risk getting 2+ damage on every hero but or not go in and likely still get 1-2 damage on every hero. My GF went to a differerent sector and got hit with a full salvo. Since Thanos also activated the red infinity stone she was unable to use her two healing powers and lost half her team. So I decided to go in, got the full beat down but thanks to a very lucky roll managed to deal 3 damage and thus heal everyone on my team enough to survive. After that the game turned around. And we were able to easily defeat the remaining 3 enemies needed to win. I suggested trying for a higher difficulty (more enemies) but my GF wanted to quit while we were ahead.
I wanna see how you get a while loop to actually go to infinity. I'll wait...
on second thought, no I won't.
No it's not harder to grasp, just less concise. Summation and Product notation exist for the same reason we don't say "a discernible but subtle level of humidity" and just use "moist" instead - it's more convenient. People can be taught to readily understand "moist" or the summation notation. It's much harder to teach people to read the longer notation more quickly.
Which makes the integral sign ∫ a non-discrete for-loop
Problem ist Twitter Blue ging auf die falschen Leute los: die Berühmten. Ohne Promis wie Schriftsteller, Schauspielerinnen oder politische Figuren ist Twitter nicht viel mehr als ein WhatsApp ohne Privatsphäre. Das sind die Leute die der Dienst umwerben müsste. Stattdessen vergrault er sie in dem er Geld verlangt und mit reduziertet Moderation ein schlechteres Erlebnis bietet.
Geld verlangen könnte er von allen, die diese Personen anschreiben möchten und selbst keine sind. Willst du mit Trump, Steven King oder Henry Cavil plaudern? X Geld pro Monat bitte! Das hätte eine Chance zu funktionieren. Die Frage ist wieviel Leute bereit wären dafür zu zahlen und ob es reichen würde um auf Werbung zu verzichten.
Das Problem daran ist dass Werbebasierte Finanzierung für die meisten Teilnehmer am lukrativsten ist und sich dadurch so infektiös durch alle Produkte ausbreitet. Macht danach jemand ein Konkurrenzprodukt Glitter wo niemand was zahlen muss ist aber den gleichen Service bietet so ist es für die meisten das klar attraktivere Produkt.
There still is no other sensible way. We just gave up on that part...
Considering JotL only has 4? characters it's entirely possible that there is no retirement. IDK
I've tried for years to go to the gym regularly. I despise going to the gym. Putting on workout clothes, mindlessly trudging on a treadmill or whatnot before slogging through a bunch of machines then shower and going home. I loathe the idea of sacrificing 1+ hour of my precious free time just to feel miserable and accomplishing fuck all... Everyone claiming "just stick with it and you'll start to enjoy it" lies. There's no other way to say this. Lies. If you love it, good for you, but it definitely isn't a universal thing.
Walks around town I do kinda enjoy but not enough to make me want to do it. But point me someplace new or nice to hike and I'm off to the races. I love being out in nature, taking in the sights and I don't care whatsoever if I need to work for it.
The last few weeks I've also started to go swimming with my girlfriend. I've not been a fan of swimming as a child and basically never did it anymore since then. So I'm pathetic at it but to my huge surprise I do quite like it.
So my recommendation to you is: try loads of different things. Chances are you'll like doing certain things way more than others. Ideally you'll find something you love. Or at least you should be able to find something you don't hate.
When you want to get better using a hammer, just treat everything as a nail.
