In regular expressions, it would match “aaaaaaaas”, since the character before the asterisk is what needs to be repeated. To match “avocados”, the pattern would be a.*s (or a\w*s).

Or alternatively, a*s as a glob pattern would match “avocados”.

I wouldn’t because no one’s an expert in all aspects of programming, and as with any learned skill, the majority of folks are at the lower end of the skill spectrum. Some folks reading along are experts in biology and only do some light scripting to process their data, but still generally get the jokes.

But even if it were the case that this was a community exclusively for senior software engineers, it would still be legal to just explain the difference rather than throwing a quip at them.

Yeah, they’re complaining about a technicality. Using the word “AI” to refer to LLMs or to generative AI is just common parlance. That definition changes every few years. Five years ago, neural networks were referred to as “AI” and a few decades ago, the AIs stealing our jobs were calculators. This is known as the AI effect.

Among experts, “AI” describes a whole research field with a myriad of applications, of which image recognition is definitely one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence

My parents recently got a new wired telephone at their home. It announces on the display that a call is coming in, but only starts ringing a second later.

I would love to know why that was deemed a good design decision.

You can turn on a filter list in uBlock Origin, to have those Cookie notices automatically hidden.

Combine with e.g. Cookie AutoDelete to automatically delete whatever cookies still get stored.

Yeah, third-party cookies are blocked by default and the remaining cookies can be automatically deleted with Cookie AutoDelete.

So long as they’re not in a straight line, yeah (as it says as at the bottom of the post).

Could also rotate Louisiana by -45° to make it look like a heart…

Probably Welsh, too.

You have to click a random heading in the info section to the right of the code listing (or below it on mobile).

I do also find GitHub’s URLs are much more user-friendly than the GUI, though.

Forgejo has it exactly where @BootLoop@sh.itjust.works is saying, though.

Like, yeah, it is still primarily a code hosting platform, but that doesn’t mean the releases have to be in the most awkward place possible.

Yesterday, I was bringing away waste glass into one of these containers:

And there were either bees or wasps, not quite sure, swarming all over the place. They either have their nest there, or there was some damn good juice left in the bottles.

Well, I wasn’t gonna take my waste glass back home, so I got to play a game of throwing into the hole from a good step away, while trying to not hit any of them midflight. 🙃

I’ve got this sieve that’s definitely smaller than my salad bowl, which I’ll fill up with salad for washing. Then I pour from the sieve into the bowl and boom, the bowl is full. Gotta be some black magic at work there…

Ah, yeah, very familiar with that article. 🙃

It’s definitely part of the reason why I like these really narrow types. But the other big reason is that your internal APIs start to look like this:

It just makes it almost impossible to pass the wrong value into a parameter. You don’t need to wonder, whether you should pass your port variable into a parameter called bind_port, if you introduced separate types BindPort and RemotePort for them.

Of course, this is a somewhat extreme example. It’s up to you to decide, whether you’re likely to encounter multiple values of the same type and whether it’s therefore helpful to make it impossible to confuse them.

I mean, most of the time, the Arch Wiki is just as useful on other distros, too…

Might be a disco that takes place in a literal orchard. People on the countryside get creative…

I mean, as it says at the end, this blog post is in good fun. It most definitely expresses frustration, but it also recognizes that perfect is the enemy of good, and that you already put in more effort than one can expect by writing a tutorial to begin with.

I guess, my main takeaway is that you really don’t need to bother writing up your life story. It will fly over the head of your readers, for sure. (Although a bit of context may still be important.)
And you should probably spend a few more words, describing the actual steps, no matter how obvious those may seem to you.

Took me a moment to realize “peruleid” wasn’t pseudo-German…
