I recently spent a week or so creating a library for my project. There's not a lot of code, but it was hard to reason about the data model, what I wanted the API to look like, and what I wanted actually rendered on the other side. I wa

I moderated a few chat rooms and dreamed of all this complex tooling I could build to automate and help me fix issues right away. Of course, the tiny chat rooms didn't need any of that. The hard part is actually moderating fairly and t

Given that encoded characters must have one and only one General_Category value, it might be too imprecise or arbitrary in some cases. If you ever need more power, it's worth browsing the other character properties Unicode exposes. For

I think that's a good point. I think the author says a lot of good things about empathy in the article, the nature of which goes deeper than "how may a linguist view the word?", but if they're being prompted with "b

Regex101 is always open when I'm doing regexes, what a great tool. Occasionally I use sites that build the graph so you can visualize the matching behaviour. There are even tools to generate matching text from a regex pattern. Rust&#x

TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, and here I imagine. Beyond that, I don't have experience with marketing. I'm in a similar position in fact: when I launch my product, I'll be figuring all this out myself as well.

Definitely keep getting feelers out, it seems like a tough market! But it may very well be worth it if you can find the right audience.

I did this for many years, but pretty much just got worse. There's probably a threshold of skill you need to reach on an instrument. I decided that if I pick up guitar again, I'll be sure to do a few months of structured lessons,

Fair enough. GP is right in that there's a lot of absolutism with regards to what regex can solve. I first learned recursive-descent parsing from Destroy All Software, where he used Regex for the lexing stage by trying to match the sta

It gets buried in the rant, but this part is the key: > HTML is not a regular language and hence cannot be parsed by regular expressions. Regex queries are not equipped to break down HTML into its meaningful parts.

And at least in Hans' case, the general public could instantly verify the result, as opposed to having it interpreted by a biased handler.
