> I tend to prefer to write out the procedural code, even if it is (much) longer in terms of lines. This might work for you, but in general the amount of bugs is proportional to the amount of code. The regex engine is alredy throughly te

How would you know if a regex is correct if you dont understand it?

by bazoom42 2y ago
Honestly regex syntax is a mess. For example parentheses are used both for grouping alternatives and for capturing. I think Perl 6 tried (and failed) to fix this. Larger problem is you have to memorize the meta characters since they are bas

Thelma Schoonmaker is well known for favoring impact over the tradional ideal of seamless editing. You might not like her style, but it is deliberate choices rather than “editing mistakes”. This wasn’t even her first oscar, she got one for

The Bible, like any “real” mythology is full of inconsistencies and contradictions and unanswered questions. In contrast, a literary “mythology” created by a single author can be logically and tonaly consistent. I think Tolkien appeals to p

Some of the Grimms tales are incredibly gruesome, but it may be a misunderstanding to consider them childrens folk tales. Grimm collected stories told among adults. In the 19th century it became a trend to publish fairy tales aimed toward

I’m not making a value judgement. In particular the Polish animations are very beautiful. But the article describes some specific themes in Tove Janssons books which are just not present in the animations.

While all the books have both humour and darkness, the early books are more whimsical and playful while the later books are more about loneliness, alienation, and loss.

> They come through it wiser and more in touch with themselves. Are you sure? Or is this just projecting the ideals we think childrens books are supposed to have? How is Moominmamma changed after the ordeal on the lonely island? - we d

OK but the article in question describes and reviews the books and illustrations by the Finnish artist Tove Jansson. It is not about a tv-show.

Is it really a celebration of family life when Moominpappa uproots the whole family because of his midlife crisis and sends Moominmamma into depression?
253.
by bazoom42 2y ago
The cutesy family parts kind of evaporates towards the later books though. The last book is about longing for a moominmamma which is no longer there. To be fair, Jansson never claimed she wrote for kids in the first place.

Multiple comments here referring to tv-shows. Just be aware that Tove Jansson wrote and illustrated books and comics but did not produce tv shows. What you have seen was not created by Tove Jansson. The comics and the books are different in

Sounds like you think the comments and explantions are the problem? You can write regexes with comments and parsers without. Regexes are not generally known to be self explanatory, except for trivial cases like \d+

Notably, photorealism is called photo realism because it deliberatley tries to reproduce photography, not because it tries to reproduce observable reality.

Piranesi also made an amazing set of depictions of imaginary “dungeons”, sometimes using escher-like trick perspective.

Just one well known difference: Human have two eyes and we use the difference to determine distances. A photo is flat. Another difference: In human sigth you can only focus on the center of the vision field, while on a photograph you can lo

The article does not make it clear why they think the portrait depicts Shakespeare. I guess you have to watch the tv show for that information? It talks about comparison to other portraits of Shakespeare, but as far as I know there are no d

It is easy to miss that his argument boils down to that zero-based is “nicer” in a specific select case. The paper is written in the style of a mathematical proof but hinges on a completely subjective opinion.

Terminology is a problem here. A crashed harddisk is clearly an exceptional circumstance. More specific terms is needed to distinguish errors in the code (eg divide by zero) from unpreventable errors like network failure.

Framesets were a bad idea because they didn’t work well with links, bookmarks, and search engines. Tables are fine when used correctly though.

Frame names must start with an alphanumerical character.

Also worth mentioning the comic story “A Long Tomorrow” by Moebius which was an inspiration for the visuals in Blade Runner.

CIA also promoted jazz music which was very effective in getting European intellectuals and artists to appreciate American culture more. But I don’t see how that should make you appreciate jazz music itself any more or less.
