Thank you for the very thorough reply! This is kind of high quality stuff you love to see on Lemmy. Your use cases seem very valid.

Thanks for sharing this. I took the time to read through the documentation of the re module. Here’s my review of the functions.

Useful:

• re.finditer returns an iterator over all Match objects
• re.search returns the first Match object or None if there are no matches.
• r'' use raw strings for patters so you don’t have to worry about backslashes
• the optional flags argument modifies the behaviour (case insensitive, multiline)

Utility:

• re.sub replace each match in the string
• re.split split a string by a regular expression

The Match object:

• match.groups(0) returns the portion of text matched by the pattern
• match.groups(1) returns the first capturing group
• match.groups(2) returns the second capturing group, and so on

I don’t understand why these exist:

• re.match like search, but only matches at the beginning of the string. why not just use ‘^’ or ‘\A’ in the pattern you pass to ‘search’?
• re.fullmatch like ‘search’, but only if the full string matches. Why not just use ‘\A’ and ‘\Z’ in the pattern you pass to ‘search’?
• re.findall Returns all matches. It seems like a shitty version of ‘finditer’. The function has three different return types which depend on the pattern you pattern you pass to the function. Who wants to work with that?

Can’t wait for Rypper, the drop-in Zypper replacement written in Rust

That’s a long kiss 😳 N-not like I mind…

or traditional Fedora, which also has often unstable packages, dnf is often unusable

My experience with dnf is that it’s slow as molasses but your average computer user isn’t gonna install 10 new CLI apps per day /j

I’ve used Discover (dnf or flatpack backend) and you can install just about any software with 1 click. It takes a minute to install but that’s fine.

The best way to install Linux is to ask your buddy who knows Linux, they have been waiting for this question for years

Maybe once you experience isolation, you’ll find that you miss human interaction after all, or you are happy living alone.

You just dug up the rap song Happy Birthday by Flipsyde ft. Piper from the depths of my memory after it had been buried for 14 years.

A foggy quiet morning. It reminds me of how my mom would walk me to kindergarten.

It’s fine. Growing up I also shared a bed with my sister who is 8 years my senior. We didn’t always have a good relationship with our parents which probably made us all the closer. Like you said, sleeping in the same bed, nothing weird.

“they” ist kein Pluralwort. “they” ist ein Pronomen der 3. Person Singular sowie der 3. Person Plural. Das ist genau so, wie “you” ein Pronomen der 2. Personal Singular und der 2. Person Plural ist.

I’m in Gemany and our English teacher made everybody read Shakespeare, Dickens and more in the original. I estimate at least 1/3 of our class had reached a C1/C2 level of English after 3 years of his class.

As a man: Prepare to be rejected over and over, to feel disposible and useless, unwanted and nobody likes you and you will never be as good as other men and you might as well end it now.

As a woman: Prepare to meet men who have the biggest mommy issues, to be called an entitled bitch and everybody who likes you will promptly abandon you once they figure out who you really are.

These apps prey on your worst anxieties about yourself, and then sell you the remedy: An outrageously expensive subscription to skip past the chaff and find your true life mate. Except, then you’d leave the platform, and you’d stop paying up. Match group is busy gobbling up every dating app they can get their hands on and they will stop at nothing to turn them all into the same steaming pile of shit.

ShellCheck is a static analysis tool for bash/sh scripts - try it on your scripts. The README also shows some examples of what (not) to do.

The link to your project gives me a 404 btw, is it a private repository?

Look what they need just to mimic a fraction of our power

It’s funny because it’s true
